Bayonne Knife For Life (BKFL)

A Practical “NOTHING FANCY” approach to using the KNIFE!

The goal of BKFL training, is the development of defensive skills utilizing fundamentally sound and practical approaches (taught by a qualified self defense instructor) to edged weapons training for those of us with minimal time to spare. Rather than learning a large number of specific techniques to defend against specific attacks, BKFL focuses on perfecting a few proven techniques and learning how to apply them in a defensive situation. Through this easy-to-learn method, members develop defensive proficiency very quickly (muscle memory) and have both the ability and the confidence to employ their skills after only a brief period of training.

The topics covered in BKFL training include:

Knife selection and evaluation
Knife carry and deployment
Knife grips
Identifying and evaluating weapon attributes (Thrusting, Slashing, Chopping, Impact)
Bridging from unarmed tactics to the deployment and use of the knife (Impact / Edged)
Striking techniques and angles of attack
Checking skills
Reflex training drills that quickly develop spontaneous defensive reactions
Footwork and Movement
Verbal Commands
Ten Commandments of Self Defense
Effective unarmed defenses,
Coordinating empty-hand striking and “live hand” checking, redirecting, passing
Combination cutting and the concept of cutting on retraction
Ballistic cutting and thrusting tactics
Advantages and disadvantages of the reverse grip
Reverse-Grip partner training drills to develop conditioned defensive reflexes
Hooking, redirecting and trapping with the reverse-grip
Knife defenses from disadvantaged positions (mugging, grappling, rolling, falls)
Knife disarming tactics
Using an attacker's weapon against him
Employing locks and disarms
Environmental awareness and sources of improvised weapons

Because BKFL Believes In The Basic Right of Self Defense! BKFL adheres to a professional commitment of providing responsible, ethical self-defense solutions, thus, BKFL also emphasizes the concepts of self defense awareness, avoidance, and de-escalation. When these concepts are combined with the broad range of physical skills and drills presented during the course of training, the BKFL member will have a solid edged weapon foundation for practical and usable self-protection.
