Knife Defense Essentials: Survive & Escape Dangerous Encounters

Are You Prepared for a Knife Attack?

Imagine you're faced with a real knife threat. Your heart races, your mind freezes—what do you do?

Most people panic because they’ve never been taught how to respond.

The truth is, knife attacks happen fast, and the wrong move can be deadly.

But with the right knowledge and training, you can increase your chances of survival.


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.

That’s why I created this FREE training: to give you the foundational knowledge and tactics to protect yourself when it matters most.

What You’ll Learn in This Free Course

✔️ How to recognize a potential knife threat before it happens

✔️ Practical moves to survive and escape an attack
✔️ The truth about knife defense vs. Hollywood myths
✔️ Mindset and strategy: What really keeps you safe

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

I have had the pleasure of being in a learning environment that has been lead by Joey. The class is organized and interesting. Joey keeps students engaged and interested in whatever topic he is covering. He brings current information to the class and ensures his students walk away from class always having learned something new. He has patience and is approachable with questions and offers extra assistance when needed. Joey is very good at recognizing students that learn quickly and those that need some extra help. He is great at prioritizing students needs given their skill levels. He has great positive energy and students feel very comfortable and welcomed in class. Joey pushes students to be their best they can be and is very interested in what student goals are. He recognizes and celebrates their achievements. Joey creates a learning environment that is inclusive and respectful and allows people to feel accepted and respected. Joey is a mentor a coach a leader and overall great at teaching students.

I started training with Joey De Los Reyes at the age of 15 with the goal of competing in MMA. Under his instruction I was able to compete Internationally, capture provincial and national titles and rise the ranks to become one the the top amateur MMA athletes in Ontario. I have since made my professional debut and gone undefeated thus far. Joey has a wealth of knowledge on many different martial Arts that he's shared with me and is constantly keeping himself up to date with the latest evolutions and training methodologies in the sport. He's instilled lessons in me that have gone beyond marital arts and helped me find confidence and success in my personal and work life. I would recommend his services to anybody who's looking to get in shape, learn a martial art, gain confidence or learn self defense as he's successfully taught me all of the above.
