The seminars (#KnifeDefence)

All the techniques come from the Urban Krav Maga system and have been tested in real-life situations.
They've been designed and refined with the direct input from people who had first-hand experience of knife attacks (namely security professionals, law enforcement and military personnel), and with the lessons gathered from the extensive study of CCTV/phone recordings conducted in 2016.

- recognise the signs of an impending attack
