SAMI-X Knife – 3-Day Intensive SeminarThe Art of the Blade
Knife combat is far more than just a survival skill – it is a unique form of movement art: powerful, precise, and fluid.
With roots in diverse cultural and stylistic traditions, working with the blade unites body control, tactical awareness, and expressive movement.
The knife becomes an extension of the body – a tool of presence, focus, and clarity.
SAMI-X Knife represents this philosophy: a respectful and controlled approach to blade work – as a martial art, not just a means of defense.
Seminar Content:
✅ Technical foundations and principles of blade handling
✅ Dynamic drills for timing, rhythm, and precision
✅ Flowing movement patterns and transitions
✅ Strategic concepts – distance, lines, and angles
✅ Partner work and controlled interaction
✅ Aesthetic movement and presence in action
✅ Deeper understanding of structure, body mechanics & intention
✅ Striking drills with pads and equipment
✅ Sparring elements and dynamic partner exercises
In addition to technical skill and coordination, the intensive use of pads, striking gear, and partner drills promotes combat realism and builds physical fitness.
Who Is This Seminar For?
For anyone interested in the art of knife combat – regardless of background or previous training.
Ideal for martial artists, movement enthusiasts, instructors, and all who want to experience blade work on a deeper level.
No prior experience in SAMI-X Knife required – openness, focus, and respectful interaction are at the core.
