Knife Defence Training In Melbourne
We take Knife Defence in Melbourne Very Seriously.... and once you've read this page so should you.
Everyone knows that because of the rise in Knife Attacks in Melbourne Knife Defence training is becoming a necessity for people that are serious about improving their own self defence skills. 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.
Over the years several of our 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 knife violence is the most common high level threat we face here in Melbourne.

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% 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 ”

Why I Stopped Taekwondo and changed to Japanese Jujutsu
The reason I switched from Taekwondo, which I really enjoyed, to Japanese Jujutsu in 1990 was because myself and two friends were threatened with a knife by someone much larger than us. That's why I stopped playing sports martial arts and started training in martial arts with a primary focus on practical self defence and of course a very strong history of Knife Defence Training and I've never looked back.
They are absolutely two completely different skill sets.

Knife Defence Classes
Knife Defence is the most important area of physical training that you can do. Forget about the UFC and the Olympics this is what actually matters. Although the main focus is Knife Defence Training 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, I am happy and relieved to say that not one has been cut and all have been successful in controlling the situation.
In our Junior Adults (11-14), Young Adults (15-17) and Adults 18+ training programmes a lot of time each year is spent working on this important area of study. If self defence is your main focus then you must seriously study Knife Defence in a truly comprehensive way. Our main training focus is street assaults and domestic violence as these are the two main issues in Melbourne.
Just a few of the many recent Knife Attacks in Melbourne in 2024.

I have trained with Craig and the amazing sensei's at Guests Martial Arts for 14 years now. I would highly recommend this dojo to anyone looking to commence or continue their Jiujitsu or even martial arts journey.
We train and practice a different style of Jiujitsu and weapon each month and I have never stopped learning each time that I have stepped onto the mats. The class timetable is flexible with morning, evening, and Saturday classes.
I truly love this dojo and it has been like a 2nd home for me.

I attended the 4 weeks Japanese Jujitsu introduction program. The program was great and I definitely learnt a lot about stances, executing wrist locks, striking, rolling and landing safely. Definitely enjoyed learning the self defence elements of the program. The dojo is great and the environment is very inclusive and friendly.
The theoretical elements were spot on as well and the instructors were very knowledgeable.
