Contemporary Knife Targeting $24.95
Contemporary Knife Targeting: Modern Science vs. W.E. Faribairn's Timetable of Death by Christopher Grosz and Michael D. Janich
William E. Fairbairn’s Timetable of Death—a section in
Fairbairn’s book All-In Fighting that identifies the major
arteries of the human body and lists the amount of time it would take to bleed
to unconsciousness or death when any of these blood vessels are severed—has
been used for years as a standard reference tool by students of edged-weapon
tactics. But when Colorado police officer Christopher Grosz began studying the
timetable to validate its use as a reference for law-enforcement responses to
edged-weapon attacks, he made a surprising discovery: the information in it was
flawed.
Grosz began a thorough analysis of Fairbairn’s work, human anatomy, and the
realities of effective knife targeting and later teamed up with knife expert
Michael Janich to document it all in Contemporary Knife Targeting.
The research in this book was conducted with the help of recognized experts in
both the medical and tactical fields. It takes full advantage of
state-of-the-art medical studies directly related to the effects of edged
weapons on the human body. It also reveals the real purpose behind Fairbairn’s
original timetable and expands its scope to include the full spectrum of targets
on the human body that are vulnerable to knife attacks. The result is a modern,
medically accurate version of Fairbairn’s original timetable—plus
contemporary self-defense applications of the updated data—that will become
the new definitive resource for all students of edged-weapon tactics. 5 1/2 x 8

Inside the Crucible Vol. 3: Situational Combatives and Knife Fighting. An Exclusive Look at Kelly McCann's Individual Protective Measures Course with Kelly McCann, aka Jim Grover
Paladin’s documentation of personal security and
counterterrorism expert Kelly McCann’s in-your-face, combat-proven Individual
Protective Measures Course continues in this third volume of the series. Drawing
upon principles taught in his best-selling Combatives video series, McCann first
teaches wall techniques: unarmed combative techniques designed to turn the
tables on your attacker when he has you pinned against the wall with one or both
hands. Next, he shows you how to deal effectively with a straight punch, perhaps
the most difficult punch to defend against. From there, he goes into realistic
unarmed defenses against shoulder weapons, such as rifles and shotguns.
Then, for the first time captured on video, McCann teaches his no-nonsense knife
fighting program, focusing on carry methods of the tactical folding knife, rapid
opening and deployment when under attack, snap-cutting to keep your opponent at
bay, use of the knife when closed and unarmed defense against knife attacks. For
information purposes only. Color, approx. 80 min. $59.95
