All about the Knife
ALL ABOUT THE KNIFE Part one
25 SEPTEMBER 2021
Knife work is a big topic in the martial world and we all have strong believes about the self defense training. Like everything we study you should look at the full scope of what you study.
Defend
In Systema, there is no distinction between defense and attack. Any so called "defensive" move is also active, decisive and pre-emptive. The secret is in complete freedom of movement, very swift thinking and decision-making. There are practically no limitations, except for the moral ones.
Disarm
Before practicing techniques of weapons disarming, you should first learn to identify if the opponent is armed and how. Then, study how to evaluate his competence in using a weapon. Each weapon imprints behavior. Knowledge and experience can uncover that for you.
Control
The best control in a fight is pre-emptive; when you feel that something is about to happen and do not allow the situation to develop.
Next is primary control; when the action is starting and you deal with it by re-directing, distracting or dissipating.
And then secondary control begins; when physical contact could not be avoided and you deal with it by your moving, striking and other specific skills. Through all these stages, your source of success is the removal of fear.
Our Head instructor Patrick van het Nederend will take you step for step in to the systema bleu print to work with and against the blade.
