E.D.G.E. stands for:
Engage – Only engage if you must. It is smart to get away and/or to get an equalizer
Disorient – Half beat hits in between defenses are a must while engaging with a bladed weapon
Grab/Grapple – An understanding of grappling is a must have here. You will learn how to grab off striking without getting hit. Its not easy to do and it has to be isolated heavy to get it down, with appropriate footwork.
Escape – Getting away as mentioned above is smart before engaging. However, many situations are not easy to escape so you do what is necessary to get out of there. Getting out of the area of such a confrontation will ensure no friends are able to jump in and the one with the knife does not pull out a gun. Always get out of danger, don’t make it worse than it already is. Getting away helps you get to your equalizer also.
This course consists of a blend of empty hand vs knife tactics from Kuntao, Pekiti Tirsia Kali and Inosanto Kali. Knives against an unarmed person is very dangerous and there is a good chance of getting badly hurt, crippled or killed. However, this course focuses on this subject area and with that, the more it is practiced, the better your chances of survival in this situation. This is a very precise geometrical science that needs to be worked heavily on to gain the proper reflexes to pull it off. And that all comes from doing all you learn through live play. Have fun learning and be careful!
To gain proper certification in the E.D.G.E. program, you must do 100 well documented hours of empty hands vs bladed weapons fighting utilizing the tactics you learned. Memorizing techniques and drills is not enough to defend this dangerous weapon. And I am very meticulous due to that danger. I will be doing online classes to teach it as a seminar. I can promise you will be very happy with this self-defense course. There are a few ways for me to still teach this course, so you get good results from it.
