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 taught at Guests Martial Arts to protect themselves against people with knifes in real life, none have been cut and all have been successful in controlling the situation. A lot of time each year is spent working on this area.
