The knife is the most common weapon used in crime. Yet attacks are not just with knives, but with a wide variety of edged weapons: screw driver, syringe, broken bottle, a shard of glass, a shank in a custody environment, and anything else that can cut or stab.
This 2-hour seminar introduces students to defensive techniques that can reduce injury and increase chances of survival against an edged-weapon attack.
