More and more martial arts styles as well as law enforcement (LEO) and the military are looking into the usefulness of this ancient Indonesian weapon, but with a dearth of teaching material and/or instructors out there, they are left to learn on their own or try to find a qualified instructor of Southeast Asian arts to teach them the finer points of this unique weapon.

Download or read book Secrets of the Knife written by David Seiwert and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-03-29 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are walking to your car and suddenly confronted by an armed attacker. What do you do? Knife assaults can be extremely dangerous and it is best to avoid them if you can, but sometimes that is not possible. Carrying a firearm can help to equalize the situation, but it is not a panacea to the problem. If you cannot get to the weapon then it does you no good and at close range a knife usually has the edge (no pun intended). It is difficult to find a comprehensive book on knife training and defensive moves outside of military manuals and a few martial arts books. Most simply show you techniques, but never go into drills or concepts. Techniques are fine, but you need to be able to adapt to an ever changing situation. No two attackers or situations are ever the same, everyone reacts differently in a hostile environment and you need to be prepared. The drills and techniques in this book are taken from the Southeast Asian martial arts of Silat, KunTao and the Filipino arts of Kali and Escrima. These arts are known worldwide for exceptional blade skills. This book will help you to become familiar with knife attacks in order to de-mystify and take some of the fear away. If you understand how it can be used for an attack then you can begin to understand how to apply a suitable defense. With over 700 photos describing Drills and Combat Defenses and links to free videos provided so that you can actually see how the drills are done.

Former navy SEAL Joe Harris nearly died—twice—on a medevac helo after being blown up by an IED. He’s not moving too great these days, but if there was ever a woman designed to jump-start a man’s hormones, it would be his new neighbor. Meeting Isabel—loving Isabel—brought Joe back to life. Isabel Delvaux came from one of America’s foremost political dynasties, until the greatest terrorist attack since 9/11 killed her entire family. She barely survived the Washington Massacre, only to become prey for rabid reporters. Fleeing to Portland and changing her name was a way out, a way to start over. The only way. She knows she’s safe with Joe Harris. Not just because he’s big and strong, not just because he’s part of a security team that obliterates threats on the regular, but because he’s been to the abyss and back. But as they help each other heal—through talk, through touch, through spectacular sex—the past comes back to play. When Isabel’s memory starts to return and a mysterious stranger sends Joe emails indicating Isabel is in imminent danger, he’ll do anything to help her uncover the truth.
