Edged Weapons Course - Survey

[rayfloro]

Greetings to All,

I’m currently putting together an updated curriculum for a new “Edged Weapons” course.

Because people on this forum have been to many different kinds of seminars - both with weapons and without - I thought it may be a good idea to ask your opinion of what subject matter to include in a course of this kind. In particular, what would be essential to you, and what would be nice to have.

So, I would like to ask a favour.

Below is the link to a very short online survey.

Anyone who is inclined can voice their opinion about their preferences.

Thanks in advance to you all for reading so far and extra thanks to all that participate in filling out the survey.

Oh...if you provide me with your email address. I can send you results

Hello Ray! It's good to see you on this forum again. :-)

I tried to take the survey but the link didn't send me to it. Do I have to be a member of SurveyMonkey.com to take it?

If I may, I think a good idea for the course would be to discuss the various forms edged weapons present themselves in (i.e. icepicks, screwdrivers, box cutters, syringes, etc.) as well as how to deal with "ambush-and-bum-rush" style attacks that are incredibly common on the street (the "Prison Yard Rush" comes to mind).

I'm sure this new course will be top-notch as always. :-)

God Bless,
Mike

Greetings All,

Just an update on the promised report of the survey results that I am working on.

We received feedback from 25 or 26 countries and I am just in the process of distilling the results with a few helpers; it turned out to be a bigger job and a little more complex than any of us expected. So please have a little patience and I will email the results to all that left their contact e-mail addresses.

For those that want a look at what people from around the world “Want or Expect From an Edged Weapon Course” and haven’t participated in the survey itself, you can register your contact details at www.florofighting.com and I’ll include you in the e-mail mail out.

Best regards, Ray Floro.
