Greg Ellifritz - Defensive Knife for Concealed Carry
Time & Location
About the Event
MushinSST is proud to host Active Response Training who will be teaching a basic knife class. The Defensive Knife for Concealed Carry class will be an introductory course designed to give people who normally carry a concealed pistol an alternate defense option if they venture into areas where carrying their pistols is illegal or impractical.
Topics covered will include:
Choosing a defensive knife
Carry locations
Drawing and opening the folding knife under stress
Basic cutting angles and targets
The three ways to use a knife to stop an attack
Escaping life-threatening physical attacks with a knife
Transitioning between knife and pistol
Weapon retention using the knife
The class will not be knife specific. Both fixed and folding blade training knives will be provided by the instructor. All ages and fitness levels will be accommodated.
The class will be held at a private indoor training facility. Bring clothing appropriate for the weather. Keep hydrated by bringing beverages. We will break for lunch so bring your own food. Note taking items would be recommended to help with retention and follow up after class. Range fee is included. One more thing. An open mind is welcome! Cost will be $150. $25 deposit is due at sign up. Armed Lady members please message for an additional discount!
*Refunds will only be made if the class is cancelled. If a student is unable to attend the class, they will be given a credit to another class of comparable value.
