Tactical Knife Defence for Urban Environments
We take Knife Defence Very Seriously.... and once you've read this page so should you.
At Guests Martial Arts for 3 months every year we focus on how to safely disarm, evade or control a person that's trying to hurt you or is threatening to hurt you with a knife.
And over the years several Guests Martial Arts students have had a reason to disarm a person with a knife in real life and I'm very proud to say not one student has been cut and all of the attackers involved were either disarmed of the knife and our students then ran away or they controlled the attacker without hurting them.
It requires a lot of training but it is the most common high level threat of violence we commonly face here in Melbourne.

Self Defence against a knife
LESS CRIME BUT WEAPONS USE ON THE RISE By Larissa Dubecki (The Age) "An extract from the original article"
The State Government will launch a campaign targeting a growing knife culture among Victoria's youth, following a 33 per cent jump in knife attacks over the past year. The use of weapons in assaults jumped 21.7 per cent from 5004 to 6092. Assaults with a bottle or glass were up 48.4 % and assaults with a firearm were up 46 % but the use of syringes in assaults decreased by 20.6 %.
University of Melbourne criminologist Stuart Ross “Where a serious assault occurred, it was likely to be with a knife ”

Knife Defence Classes
Knife Defence is the most important area of physical training that you can do. Although the main focus is Knife Defence we are also concerned about Needles, Bottles and Screwdrivers, basically anything that is able to penetrate or cut the body.
" If you're not learning Knife Defence at your martial arts school
then you're not really learning self defence in my opinion "
We have had many students use the techniques they've learnt here at Guests Martial Arts to protect themselves against people with knives in real life, none have been cut and all have been successful in controlling the situation.
In both our Junior Adults, Young Adults and Adults training programmes lot of time each year is spent working on this area. If self defence is your main focus then you must seriously study Knife Defence in a truly comprehensive way. Our training focus for knife defence is street assaults and domestic violence.
