  • Secret Intelligence Service Knife Fighting Scrapbook Courtesy – Borrowed from the FSB
    Secret Intelligence Service Knife Fighting Scrapbook Courtesy – borrowed from the FSB Knife fighting. The KGB/FSB Special Forces System (C-I) For self-defense, in principle, one can approach any knife. In shootouts can be used makeshift items that have piercing-cutting properties. In the latter case, the range of tools of intimidation and attack can be very wide - from razor to a sharpened file. If only it was possible to cut and chop. But the goals pursued by the use of cold weapons of close combat, in this case are simple - bullying, intimidation and murder. In fact, it's not a knife fight. The knife fight as a real martial art is used in the limited and specific legal purposes: to protect the homeland, fulfill orders in the melee, or perform special tasks. From a legal point of view, it is the use of a knife fight and corresponding weapons - combat knife, [1] despite the fact that the weapon in the hands of a professional can be any - is not only fighting with a knife. Modern Combat Knife Actually, the combat knife can only be regarded as a knife, officially put into service by the army or other security forces. The rest of the knives differ not only as per their legal status, but also functionality, and can be categorized as cutting, souvenir, etc. A special class of non-lethal self-defense knife does not exist. The combat knife - the only kind of knives, focus on the use of anti-human. Yes. At the armed units of the Russian Armed Forces for example and UK SAS, today are the HP-43 knives "Cherry", "Katran", "Wag-1" and NR-2 and others.

  • Medieval and Renaissance Dagger Combat Free Ebooks on Line
    Medieval And Renaissance Dagger Combat free ebooks on line Daggers are mentioned in many modern books about medieval and Renaissance swordplay, but until now none described how daggers were used in combat. Drawing from sources written from 1409-1600 (including the works of Hans Talhoffer, Fiore dei Liberi, Filippo Vadi, Joachim Meyer and more), this book uses step-by-step photos and historic illustrations to demonstrate the deadly and effective techniques of European dagger fighting. Talhoffer and the others were men with real fighting experience, not self-promoted "grand masters" or denizens of the training hall, and they wrote the manuals that form the basis for Medieval and Renaissance Dagger Combat. The dynamics of the knife fight have not changed over the centuries, and the masters' lessons are as useful against an attacker with today's tactical folder as they were against the first dagger.
