Knife Fighting Training

A knife attack is a fleeting, unexpected, and life-threatening event. At Maximum Armour, we believe that to be truly prepared for close combat and self-defense, you must understand the reality of a knife attack. According to FBI statistics, more people in the United States are killed with knives than with firearms, making knife fighting training an essential, not optional, part of your education.

You cannot effectively defend yourself against a knife if you do not understand how one is used. Our philosophy is rooted in this axiom: to defend, you must first understand the attack. Training with a knife will make you a more cautious and complete fighter, as you will realize that anyone can carry a knife. Our martial arts training program is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills to navigate these high-stakes situations.

Our knife fighting training is a comprehensive curriculum divided into three courses:

Basic Knife Fighting Training

In this foundational course, you will learn the simplest techniques for working with a knife from various positions. You will also learn how to fight with a knife against an unarmed opponent, giving you a crucial understanding of offensive and defensive tactics.

Intermediate Knife Fighting Training

Building on your basic skills, this course teaches you how to fight with a knife against an opponent who is also armed with a knife. This training sharpens your reflexes and prepares you for more complex confrontations, where both opponents are a threat.

Advanced Knife Fighting Training

At this level, you will learn to fluidly combine knife fighting with unarmed techniques to fight against both unarmed and armed opponents. You will understand that a real knife fight involves punches, kicks, elbows, knees, and grappling, and you must be trained to counter these simultaneous threats.
