EDC Bladefighter is a 7-hour close-quarters seminar designed to make you capable with a small everyday carry blade, and give you confidence to defend yourself against a blade.
This course focuses on how to access your blade, use it effectively, defend against a blade, and create an opportunity to break contact and escape.
Training blades and sheaths will be provided for your use during the course, but feel free to bring your own!
Learn how to select, carry, and deploy a blade efficiently.
We’ll cover:
Blade selection and carry positions
Grip options and application (point up vs down)
Multiple draw methods (discreet, fast, and integrating strikes)
Principles of movement and targeting
You’ll apply blade use in close-range encounters with a partner, focusing on:
Accessing your blade under pressure
Using targeted stabs and cuts to create space
Keeping the blade moving and overcoming resistance
Escaping quickly and safely
We will work from both standing and grounded positions.
Learn how to respond to common blade attacks and survive the initial assault.
We’ll cover:
Recognizing common attack patterns
Controlling the weapon bearing limb
Creating opportunities to disengage or counter
Put everything together in live, controlled scenarios.
You’ll apply both blade use and blade defense against a resisting partner, putting together everything you’ve learned in a simulated attack.
These scenarios are not competitions or ‘win vs. lose’ situations — they’re opportunities to apply what you’ve learned, designed to challenge you at your level, and grow alongside your training partners in a controlled environment.
No experience necessary — that’s what we’re here for!
Spots are limited to maintain a high level of training quality.
