Welcome to the Knife for Self-Defense Program.  Tom Sotis has been training consistently in self-defense for over 50 years, worked in conflict-oriented professions for 20 years, and over the last 30 years has taught 1500 seminars in 25 countries. His experience in conflict working on the streets and alleyways of gang-infested areas and in dangerous foreign countries has driven him to discover and develop functional tactics that work.   This program aims to achieve the best possible outcomes in violent circumstances. To do that, we need to become tactically sound, legally defensible from both criminal prosecution and civil suits, and ethically correct. And we need to do it fast!  This program covers three phases of self-defense: Preparation before an attack, self-defense when under attack, and post-incident protocols after an attack.  Preparation elements are considerations on using a knife for self-defense, use of force, de-escalating conflicts, managing challengers, confrontations with criminals, knife types and selection; how to draw, deploy, and handle a knife, and how to strike in both forward and reverse hold.  Self-defense covers how to access when under attack by unarmed attacks, knife attacks, and grab-n-stab style of attacks, as well as defensive use of the knife in both forward and reverse hold.  Post-incident protocols cover what to do immediately following an attack and what to do if you are arrested for defending yourself.  Welcome to the program.
