Knife defense is one of the most challenging and controversial topics in the field of martial arts and self-defense. It is challenging because everyone is aware of the immense danger posed by a knife attack - and controversial because each representative of a particular style considers their approach to be the only true one. However, traditional, stylized defense maneuvers often have little in common with a modern knife attack scenario. This book deliberately avoids categorizing itself within a specific martial art or technique, instead prioritizing practicality.
