By Steve Tarani
One of the most intriguing aspects of
edged weapons personal defense skills is the art of
disarming. Given its life-threatening risk factor, disarming
is considered the absolute highest level of skill in the
bladed arts. Labeled by the Masters of Edged Weapons as
“accidental or incidental” disarming is not something you
want to try at home using the kitchen steak knife!
Although a highly valued set of
skills, the Art of Disarming takes literally decades of
training, commitment and personal discipline to truly
master. What about the rest of us with a real jobs, family
and commitments? Inside this detailed training guide, there
is a select choice of “bread and butter” techniques designed
for rapid assimilation that can give you these practical
survival skills. With no previous training whatsoever and a
little time (and a patient training partner!) these critical
skills can be made part of your personal tool kit – should
you need them.
In this volume, scope of study
includes: Brief history, fundamentals of body position,
anatomy of attack and defense against a knife, mastering of
your timing, placement, grip, direct application of force
and other time-honored edged weapon disarming secrets of the
ancients as passed down to Mr. Tarani via the Filipino,
Malaysian and Indonesian Masters of the Art of Disarming.
