The course was pretty good. Would I recomend it for you, probably not. First thing you should note about the course is it is NOT a knife fighting course, its a defensive knife course.

The course is comprised of all levels of experience, from an 18 year old girl to a mid 50s woman, with a few of us firearms guys scattered around the middle.

It focuses on a couple key topics:

1. anatomy: basic run down on the human body, and what is the weakest links
2. mindset and reality: some typical mindset lecture, with an emphasis that if you resort to knife fighting you will get hurt. No one wins in a knife fight, best case scenario one person manages to live.
3. force on force: practiced the drawl stroke equivalent for a knife carrying both strong, weak, and both sided. 2 training dummy spyderco delica 4's were provided to everyone for this. this part mostly centered around putting the victim in very a bad position and letting the BG get the jump on you. PRimary focus here was to demostrate how effective 2 knife carry can be in the real world, thus prooving that many times you cannot access your strong side carry knife. This part of the course goes at your own pase, team up with someone that will be as rough/kind as you want to be. I teamed up with some martial arts dude, so we were able to put each other in realistic chokes and holds, compared to most others. Expect a couple bruises and carpet burns lol, but like i said its self paced really.

I think its a great course for the average person, for the experience military person it would probably be just a refresher.
