no, im not talking about the style of knife defence based on knife type, im saying knife type controls (even if just a little bit) how the attacker mite use that knife, for example thrust defence is a different action then slash defence....its about getting the mental edge, and making the attacker wonder how the hell you knew what he was going to do.
the wieght of the knife can be a factor, blade length, some are two sided. if it;s not clear already, the technique of defence doesn't change depending on knife type, or grip of the oponent, but the style of attack definately can.
i live in canada, not sure about the legal aspect of knife training, but i dont think there is a problem with sparring with live blades.
once again i only know what iv heard....i dont have any "real" experience.
thanks.
