Thank you for your interest in knife defense training. I enjoy sharing the empty-hand knife defense techniques and other martial arts training I learned from training I have attended on my own time and from training I received from various professions I have worked during my lifetime. Some of my previous knife defense training includes earning a purple belt in Inti Ombak Pencak Silat under instruction from Guru Michael Leininger, student to Guru Daniel Prasetya. Additionally, I have attended Silat Suffian Bela Diri training under instruction from Guru Maul Mornie. I also completed Blue Shield Tactical Systems' Knife Defense Instructor Course under instruction from Ray Beshirs and I learned Filipino knife fighting techniques from Grant Haugen, former Use of Force Instructor for ATCC. I have privately trained close friends and coworkers for years and I am now offering my training to the public. The training I offer reconditions participants' startle flinch response to be able to evade and capture imminent knife attacks from various angles in real time using gross motor skills before transitioning into a takedown or off-balancing technique. These pressure-tested techniques are also effective against opponents not armed with edged weapons. I look forward to training with you!
