www.knifeattacks.co.uk Scott Smith is the CEO and Chief Instructor of the reality based knife attack training system. No punches are pulled with up to date facts and figures of what is happening out there each week/month/year. The facts are frightening. My advice to any insructor, arrange to attend a course soon or try to get as many students on a seminar. If you're still teaching some of the typical knife attack defences that many martial artists use and teach. Please stop now because the attacker will not make it so easy.
Find out how by working with a specialist like Scott Smith then you will be passing on good effective techniques to your own students.
Any of you out there with your own club or wanting to start your own club, contact this association, it is one of the largest in the country with a massive members list. One of the guys in the office will help you, they are very friendly. And when you meet Paul Griffin or Scott Smith you will enjoy their company, and the company of the many instructors who attend the courses down south. They should do the seminars under a new set of rules, one down south, then one up north just to level the playing field. Birmingham or Stoke would be nearer to middle, so come on lets see a bit of equality. Ok gripe over, I luv em both really.
