Tactical Knife Fighting & Defence

by Rob Baard (Softcover)

★★★★★ Manual / Doctrine

About the Book
Tactical Knife Fighting & Defence — The Complete Manual is not a collection of flashy techniques or fantasy disarms. It is a reality-based survival text built from decades of training, research, and analysis of how knife violence actually unfolds. Drawing on history, neuroscience, forensic studies, military and law-enforcement observations, and ninjutsu principles, this book strips knife defence down to what survives stress — and what does not.

Most knife books teach techniques.
This one teaches survival.

This book presents a doctrine that explains how to think, not just what to do. It governs priorities, judgment, and restraint when fear compresses time and choice.

  • Sets priorities that survive stress
  • Accepts limits, law, and medical reality
