Our mission is to provide simple, effective concepts and techniques which will allow a user to defend against attacks "across categories" while empty handed or armed with the defensive folding knife or fixed blade.

These concepts and techniques can be extended to heavily encumbered "Direct Action" personnel who find themselves in high risk environments where compactness, economy of motion and mechanical efficiency are paramount.

Areas Covered in Detail

- Diagnoses of Knife Assaults.

- Body Mechanics and Principals.

- ADS Defensive Protocol.

- Targeting classification and Protocol.
