Michael Janich Martial Blade Concepts Seminar – 24-25 July 2010, Lexington, TN

In this two-day seminar, Michael Janich will present comprehensive instruction in the fundamental skills of MBC’s standard and reverse-grip systems of knife tactics and reveal the relationship between MBC’s reverse-grip system and the practical use of improvised weapons.

This course will provide step-by-step instruction in the fundamental skills of using a knife as a defensive weapon, including knife carry, high-speed deployment, recognition and identification of common street attacks, defensive responses, anatomical targeting, and the realities of knife stopping power. It will also include detailed instruction in MBC’s close-quarters reverse-grip system and show you how to adapt reverse-grip skills to a variety of improvised weapons, including kubotans, pens, and tactical flashlights.
