Valkyrie Defense Group is hosting a Suarez International HITS-8 Defensive Knife Course. It will be held in Coshocton on November 14th. More details can be found here. http://www.suarezinternationalstore.com/151114-defensive-knife-coshocton-oh.aspx#.Vio54BbD_qD I took this class in spring and was so impressed I wanted to make sure this info got out to more people. Valkyrie Defense Group makes nothing off this class we are just trying to provide better and more accessible information to everyone. Why would you ever need a class on defensive knife? Do you ever go anywhere that your gun isn't allowed but your knife is welcome? I do. Also if we look at the statics of a lethal threat engagement it is very likely that it will be very close quarters to the point where your gun might not be accessible or feasible to get to. One of my biggest takeaways from this class was a closer look at violence. I thought I knew violence, I teach it every weekend. I was wrong. This opens your eyes to a whole new world of violence and something I describe as targeting. Different tools required different deployment and different target areas. You will learn a ton. There will be training knives there so you don't need to run out and buy one. Also if you don't have what you think is a perfect knife for defensive matters this class will also teach you what to look for in a defensive knife as well. Any questions just put them below or shoot me a message on here or Facebook.
