Early in the new year (yes, we're getting there already) we will be hosting the first Red Zone Knife Defense Seminar in regional Victoria, with reality-based combat specialist Coach Jerry Wetzel. The focus of this workshop will be on the most important skill sets needed to survive an edged weapon encounter.
No experience necessary. All of the drills are beginner-friendly, direct and effective, and all training will be done with progressive resistance. If you have any questions, feel free to talk to Sensei Trent.
There's a discount for Ballarat Dojo/Bear Cave Members, so book in early to guarantee a spot. Registration only available through the QR code or the link below.

**About Jerry Wetzel**
Jerry Wetzel is the founder of Red Zone Threat Management. He has been training exclusively in reality-based combat for over 15 years. In 1999, he founded Centerline Gym out of California USA; an organization dedicated exclusively to researching the realities of violence and developing tools and tactics to deal with them. He has appeared in magazines and numerous instructional videos.
Jerry is dedicated to discovering the TRUTH in combat. Not the fantasy of combat, not the Hollywood image of combat, and not the ritual of combat. To do this, he believes it is of utmost importance to take biological, psychological, emotional, and behavioral factors into account and then apply them to a resisting opponent under realistic conditions. He is also a BJJ Blackbelt (under Dirty Dozen member Chris Hauter).
