THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT After the class room training we went to a large indoor space and warmed up before drills. The first day was spent practicing with fixed blades and folders. Steve had the Sharkee Dagger training knives for us on the first day and also an aluminum karambit trainer for the second day. The second day we trained with the karambit and we practiced escape techniques from single and multiple attackers. Overall I had a great time and the training went by too quickly as it usually does when you are enjoying yourself. After only one day of training with the karambit I can tell you that I was apprehensive about carrying one on my person. The karambit is a vicious knife and I didn’t want to cut myself while practicing with it so I purchased one of the aluminum trainers Steve had for sale. Here is the equipment list, a summary of the things we went over during the two days of instruction and some pictures of the equipment. Let me know if you guys have any questions. I went into more detail here http://www.gothamsurvival.com/?p=1215 Equipment List 1. Rigid professional training knife (non-flexible, not a toy) such as the “Sharkee Training Knife“ 2. Personal folding or fixed blade carry knife 3. Groin protection 4. Eye protection 5. Footwear suitable for rapid movement and turning 6. Casual, comfortable civilian clothing suitable for training Day One 1. Orientation and Safety 2. History of the Karambit and its modern application 3. Carry and Deployment of the Karambit 4. Grip and manipulation of the Karambit 5. Effective use of the cutting edge and the point 6. Safety and operation in daily (utilitarian) usage 7. Basic Training in personal safety for close quarters altercations Day Two 1. Full review of Day One Materials 2. Advanced personal safety training drills 3. Disarming and take downs 4. Real life threat scenarios and their solutions 5. Defensive Tactics Problem solving 6. Certificates of Completion

Is this a knife vs. knife class? Or knife vs. unarmed, stick, brass knuckles, etc?
For the record, I think a knife fight is one of the worst ideas in the world. I'd rather sleep in a cave full of leeches than get in a knife fight. |

Who wouldn't?
It's not always a choice you get to make, however. Larry |

I never want to get into a knife fight. |

I took this same class from Tarani in the Summer of 2011 in Boone County, IN
The class is very good and Steve is an outstanding instructor. I took the course for a lot of reasons but mainly because I work UC and sometimes can't carry a gun to a meet. I'd say if you carry a rifle, train with it, carry a handgun, train with it...... etc I use my MMA training a lot more often than my M4

Steve is a great guy and and a wealth of knowledge. I was one of his instructors back when he was running OSG. It was an invaluable experience that definately made me a better teacher in regards to real world application.
