EDGEWISE Level 1

Online Edged Weapon Defense Course

Knife Defense Essentials: Survive & Escape Dangerous Encounters

Are You Prepared for a Knife Attack?

Learn how to recognize danger, defend against knives, and survive real-world edged weapon encounters.

A real knife attack is violent, chaotic, and unpredictable.

Traditional martial arts often rely on static techniques that fall apart under pressure.

This course takes a different approach — focusing on principles, situational awareness, and scenario-based training to help you build real, functional skill.


The Harsh Reality of Knife Attacks

Knife threats and attacks are unpredictable. Unlike in movies, there’s no flashy disarm—just brutal, chaotic encounters. Criminals use knives for intimidation and violence, targeting people who seem unprepared. You can’t afford to guess your way through it.

What You’ll Learn in This  Course

✅ How to read pre-attack indicators and warning signs before violence begins


✅ Why goal-oriented training outperforms traditional technique collection


✅ How to use your environment to your advantage during a weapon encounter


✅ Drills to help you defend against edged weapons at both long and close range


✅ Realistic, scenario-based training that builds confidence under pressure


✅ What to do after an attack to stay safe and manage the aftermath

This isn’t about complex martial arts moves—it’s about simple, effective strategies that work in the real world.
