KnifeCombatives.jpg

Armed Forces Combatives is proud to offer Knife Combatives Training and Certification.

Criminal and military history reveals that a real world knife fight is more like football and less like fencing. So-called "dueling" can happen, but it is an event least likely to occur in our modern times.  The knife / counter knife combatives courses are based on doctrine where you will learn how to use a knife to its maximum potential in all grips: standing, kneeling, sitting and on the ground, with less-than-lethal and lethal results. This doctrine includes the better parts of military knife fighting-such as Russian Speznatz Knife Fighting, South African and Rhodesian knife fighting, as well as Filipino knife fighting, American and European knife fighting. Also, this includes a study in criminal and prison knife fighting. Plus training innovations.

The training methodologies are:

1) The Psychology of Knife Violence - You learn criminal and military psychologies, research and history.

2) Solo Command and Mastery of the Knife - You learning body movement and synergy by practicing movements "in the air.” You learn to strike stationary training objects for goal-specific power and experience.

3) Partner Knife Drills - You slash and stab moving targets held by a partner. Later he strikes back at you. You learn a limited amount of established skill and flow drills to improve your balance, coordination and savvy.

4) Combat Knife Scenarios - You work in standing, kneeling, sitting and ground combat scenarios, staged as realistically as possible.
