Against the Edge: The Instructor's Guide to Countermeasures to Knife Attacks Book by Vincent Anthony (Preowned)

When confronted by an attacker armed with an edged weapon, are you really prepared to do what it takes? Do you have the facts? Do you have the real-world skills required to survive?

In Against the Edge, gth-Dan, Aiki Bujutsu practitioner Vincent Anthony shows you not only how to prepare for the possibility of an edged-weapon attack, but more importantly how to keep from becoming just another statistic in a crime report.

Anthony shows you how to:

• Recognize an imminent attack
• Assess the threat level
• Take advantage of your surroundings
• Engage, overcome and survive
• Develop a plan of action
• Counterattack and redirect the weapon back on the aggressor
• Understand Force of Violence
