Over 1,700 How-to Photos! How to Train! Plus True Military Knife Combat Stories! “As a police officer, both Military and in Texas, people have died in my hands, arms and before my eyes. As victims of the knife, I have had to investigate their woundings, maimings and deaths. I have arrested these attackers in the act or hunted them down afterward. I have been to dozens of intense Police, Assault and Violent Death Schools conducted by leading forensics specialists from around the world. Since 1996, each year, I've taught combatives in 40 cities in 13 allied countries and examined the performances of thousands of soldiers, police and citizens. I have been a paid consultant for The US Army, the Navy, the Air Force and the Marines. Plus, I am an avid, lifelong, obsessed student of crime, violence and military history. Through the years, all this has given me a certain unique perspective about edged-weapon combat, human learning and individual, athletic performance. Knife/Counter-Knife combatives is extremely situational. It's chaotic, wet and ugly in a way few people, even most knife instructors, can ever imagine. It is often trained haphazardly and ignorantly with over-simplistic, dueling practice or endless, arsty, looping drills, or worse, totally ignored. Then, vital parts of it, such as knife ground fighting are often omitted, or treated like sporty, high school wrestling matches. Military, police, martial arts and the aware citizenry - I am all of these things, yet none of these things. While each group knows things about fighting, survival, crime, war and violence, no one group captures the essence of knife combat in this mixed-weapon world, or matches it with fast-breaking, training psychologies, physical methodologies and cutting edge tactics and strategies. I bridge this gap. I assimilate and organize. We evolve to face the cunning criminal and the enemy soldier. Inside a continuum of weapons, we use the knife to save our life and our way of life." - Hock Years in the making!

But what is just as impressive is how he has taken a large body of practical combat knowledge and organized it. Hock provides the progression and structure that is missing from most fighting systems. And Hock doesn't just train you physically for survival, he trains you mentally as well. He probably has the best courses on the planet." -Mike Gillette - Homeland Security Consultant, former United Airlines and other commercial airlines Defensive Tactics Program Director, Former Police Chief, Training Director National Law Enforcement and Security Institute, Former U.S. Army Airborne, Former SWAT Commander, Former project manager, Institute for Security Services at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. *** "The postman just dropped off my copy of the new book! It is incredible. It's going to be an invaluble resourse."-Gerry LeBlanc, Canada *** "Your Knife/Counter-Knife book is absolutely fantastic. Brillant. Never seen anything like it. The chapter on sentry kills alone was worth the price..." - Alan Cain, former war vet, British Army *** "Hock, this book is amazing. You are giving away this information for $$55! It is worth 20 times more. The true wars stories bring the lessons home. It is an amazing book." - Jim McCann, USA *** "This book is awesome!" - Brad Burkett, California *** "Great stuff, Hock! You wrote a masterpiece. There is no other book that has more comprehensive detail on knife fighting like this one. I was totally engrossed. Great war stories too as well as old manuals including the ones from my old US Marine manuals" - Vicmackey, Virginia +*** "The knife book is awesome. I have enjoyed it very much." - Mark Lyons, Nebraska USA *** "Hock love the book! The color is excellent!!Kickin it right!" - Respect always, Sgt. Jim Trifiro, New England *** "Hock, your book arrived yesterday morning and I have spent at least eight hours studying with it since then. THANK YOU!!! What a wonderful collection of information on such a serious subject matter." - Russell Gaudin, Canada *** "Hock's book is THE best knife book EVER. The Forward is sobering and shows he knows from experience what knife fighting is and is not. Stories are awesome, research and "how to" knowledge blows away all the knife experts I've ever been exposed to. Nothing else like it anywhere. Thanks Hock!" - J. Clements, CA *** "The book arrived today, Hock I think you out-did yourself on this one. I used to nag you about re-publishing the old Knife Fighting Encyclopedia. Well, you don't need to do that. This is just a great course and falls into the category of 'Professional' material for those whose livelihood takes them into the world of combatives. The introduction really makes one think and put this 'knife fight' stuff in the right perspective. The real-world historical examples are an especially interesting aspect that everyone needs to read. Replacing the old "Angles of Attack" with the combat clock system is something that will have more standard use worldwide, particularly with the military. Putting this book in a spiral binder is really useful when you take this book to the training hall. It allows you to lay it flat and work directly from the page. Indeed, this has been a long time in coming. These days I spend a lot of time in the 'Martial Art' & 'Historical' aspect and the associated lack of reality that tends to exist there. That said it is very comforting to know that I've got this 'Dose of Reality' on hand should I ever have to go back to or teach any of the 'Professional' aspects. Thanks so much for writing this book." - All My Best, Dwight McLemore, author of Bowie Knife Fighting and other Knife, Sword and Staff books *** "I bought the book a few weeks ago, and to be honest I didn't know what to expect. I have an extensive martial arts library and, frankly, the vast majority is useless garbage. I have been conditioned by the subpar norm to be very skeptical and to expect to be disappointed. This manual is an exception, to say the least. Without a doubt the most valuable and practical book on the subject I have ever seen. A generally adroit and fit person without martial experience can actually learn something applicable from nothing but this manual and a willing training partner. I got the first DVDs as well, and will buy the rest of them ASAP.I teach traditional Chinese martial arts and also generic self-defense classes at various local parks & rec and community centers. Many of the attendees have asked for knife instruction, but I've had a difficult time making the traditional material relevant to modern situations (not to mention with the giant knives!). I will certainly be attending seminars and seeking instructorship, as this material is exactly what the soldiers, police officers, and even 'little old ladies' in my classes need." - Old Uncle, VA. |
