Secrets of the Knife - part 1: Empty Hand Defense

Defensive drills and technique against the Blade

The Filipino martial arts are known by the names Kali, Escrima and Arnis. Many people think that if they become good at twirling the stick then they know FMA. Wrong! There is more, much more.

This course focuses on the use of the Empty Hand defense against the Knife. Teaching Defensive Movements, Footwork, Blocks, Disarms, and much more.
Many police and military around the world are now learning the Filipino Martial Arts due to the effectiveness of the techniques.

That's 66 video lessons and over 3 1/2 Hours of Material. That's like getting 4 DVD's! Each lesson can be downloaded and you have access to the course Forever!

This is an expansion of what is found in DFA Kali Level 7. Some of the material can be found in the DFA Kali course, but the majority of it is brand new and cannot be found anywhere else. This is a good companion to the Knife Fighting Book - part 1 found on Amazon.

This course is especially useful for those of you who are instructors of other styles and want to add Knife Fighting and Defense to your school curriculum
