Knife Survival

Knives are deadly weapons and available everywhere. Every day, people are seriously injured and even killed with knives – as a result of family drama, robbery, escalating arguments, terrorist attacks, or simply while on duty. What would you do if someone approached you holding a blade, a utility knife, a pair of scissors, a syringe, a screwdriver, or a broken bottle? Whatever you think your response might be, this book will show you that the answer is not that simple. This book is not about self-defense techniques. This book examines especially the tactical side of self-protection. Learn to think tactically, calculate risks, analyze and avoid threats, keep a clear head in potentially deadly situations, control your fear, respond tactically, and thus improve your chances of emerging from the situation uninjured. In this book, we focus on the knife as an instrument of crime, even if many of the concepts can be applied universally and offer protection from threats of many kinds. This book is intended for those whose work increases their risk of falling victim to a knife attack, including security agencies and companies, emergency medical services, personal protection, outpatient or inpatient psychiatry, or even government employees whose work could result in frustration, anger, or desperation in the general public. It’s also suitable for people who live in countries, cities, or neighborhoods with high crime, people who regularly visit these locations for work or for personal reasons, and people who are simply afraid of being assaulted or the victim of a terrorist attack. In short, this book is intended for anyone who’s interested in better protecting their greatest assets: their life and health. This book and the concepts and techniques introduced therein will definitively improve your safety. Become your own bodyguard.
