In Florida we can carry pocket knives into many places where firearms are NOT permitted. As such, many concealed weapons license holders carry a folding knife of some sort. Most of us use it as a tool and consider it as a potential last resort weapon in a lethal threat scenario, but how many of you have actually trained in the realities of how to fight with it?
Florida Firearms Training is excited and very proud to announce that we have been selected AGAIN to host world-famous instructor, author and TV personality Michael Janich, Founder and Lead Instructor of Martial Blade Concepts, for a Folding Knife Fighting and Defense Class here in Florida! Click Here for Instructor Bio.
Course Brief: Comprehensive instruction in practical unarmed defenses against common edged and contact-distance weapon attacks, as well as using those same skills as a platform for using a knife in personal defense. Appropriate for all skill levels, it begins with a detailed explanation of the logic of the Martial Blade Concepts (MBC) and Counter-Blade Concepts (CBC) systems and the key differences between martial arts skills and realistic self-defense. It then presents step-by-step instruction in the fundamental skills of unarmed defenses against contact-distance-weapon attacks (CBC). Finally, it adds the knife to those skills to create a simplified, extremely practical system of MBC tactics.
Course Philosophy: Counter-Blade Concepts (CBC) is a simple, straightforward system of unarmed self-defense against knives and other contact-distance weapons. Its tactics have been proven in numerous real-world encounters and have been adopted and applied by various law enforcement, corrections, and specialized government agencies.
Martial Blade Concepts (MBC) is an edged-weapon system specifically designed to meet the needs of today’s concerned citizen and armed professional. Based on Michael Janich’s extensive analysis of the Filipino martial arts and many other systems, MBC takes combat-proven tactics and adapts them to modern tools, threats, and legal concerns.
Like all real self-defense, MBC tactics focus on “stopping power” - the ability to immediately and decisively stop an assailant from continuing his attack. To this end, MBC emphasizes an in-depth understanding of human physiology and the most effective methods of targeting key structures with small, legal-to-carry knives. Sometimes called “biomechanical targeting,” this approach has been thoroughly reviewed and validated by leading experts in the field of tactical medicine.
This unique course integrates these two systems using Janich’s philosophy of “CBC as MBC,” which combines the unarmed and knife-based skills into a cohesive, easy-to-learn system.
