Knifes Add on Course to ADVIRT Response Training

What is the Knifes Course

Meant to help you better understand the distinct differences in approach by knife attackers, and how to defend yourself against a knife attack. It also provide you with basic first aid information that is unique to penetrating knife, wounds or slashing wounds. Designed and built to build on ADVIRT training, it uses similar verbiage and themes to have a coherent message.

Why Add This to Your ADVIRT Training

Knives are more easily able to be concealed, and there are significantly fewer laws regarding carrying them or having them in your home or workplace. Many other countries in the world that have significantly stricter gun laws than the United States have a very high rate of knife violence. This additional add-on training is meant to help her pay you for the unique defensive strategies and medical aid related to knife attacks and some of the specific things you can look for when an attacker may be looking to target you or others.
