How prepared are you to recognize a serious threat and protect yourself—or the people you love—during a knife assault?
Knife attacks unfold fast, without warning, and with devastating consequences. This AMOK! Unarmed Knife Defense Workshop focuses on realistic, street-relevant skills designed to improve your chances of survival, control, and escape when facing a bladed weapon.
You’ll learn reality-based self-defense, taught with clear priorities and proven principles.
When chaos strikes, will your response be panic—or preparation? What if training could help you stay present, focused, and capable in a critical moment?
What This Workshop Covers
• Immediate protection and survival strategies
• Counter-striking under varying levels of pressure
• Understanding range, angles, and timing
• Control, recovery, and creating escape opportunities
• Managing adrenaline, fear, and decision-making under stress
What You’ll Gain
âś” Greater awareness of knife threats and pre-attack cues
âś” Improved ability to protect vital targets (neck, torso, femoral area)
âś” Simple, repeatable movements that function under stress
✔ A realistic understanding of what works—and what doesn’t
âś” Increased confidence, clarity, and composure in high-risk encounters
Who Should Attend
• Martial artists of all styles and experience levels
• Adults interested in practical, real-world self-defense
• Anyone seeking serious personal safety training
All activities and drills are taught in a controlled, safety-conscious environment.
Awareness changes outcomes. Training changes reactions.
Recognize the threat. Protect what matters. Stay on your feet.
Calm under pressure is trained — not guessed.
