Self Defense Training With A Sharp Edge
A new self defense class is being taught in Wilmington, Delaware. This class is currently only open to women over 18 years of age but may expand soon. This is no ordinary self defense class though. This class specifically teaches students how to defend themselves using knives. Now, the knives used in class are fake and rubber but the techniques taught areas real as it gets as well as dangerous as it gets.
Some of the techniques taught in the class go as far to teach participants how to inflict fatalities on their opponents via disembowelment! The overall point of the classes are to teach the women how to defend themselves but also to instill a sense of responsibility regarding the techniques they learn because of how incredibly devastating they can be. In addition to the weapons techniques the women also learn more traditional and safer techniques such as judo throws where a small woman can easily flip a full-grown man onto the ground and choke him into submission.
The members of the class are also taught which knives are legal to keep on your person as well as the safest ways of handling and storing them. So far there have been no injuries or death inside or outside of class due the training which is a great statistic. The class is likely to expand throughout the country with the Chandler Martial Arts Academy in Arizona likely up next to offer the class. The class may be opened up to adult men next.
