FunFriday – Master Ken teaches Ameri-Do-Te knife defense!

As anyone in the martial arts world can tell you, knife fighting is nothing less than a science, and the same goes for knife defense. Whether fighting armed or unarmed, martial artists must be prepared to make split-second decisions in actual combat, and defense against a knife attack is no exception. One wrong move against a blade-wielding opponent, and it’s all over, and the danger only multiplies if you find yourself facing a fellow martial arts practitioner knowledgeable in all the right areas of the body to target!

However, one area of combat martial artists often neglect is the legal ramifications of fighting back. Even when we are in the right, we can find ourselves in a world of hurt figuratively as damaging as any knife wound if we act with excessive force. Fortunately, Master Ken, founder of the revolutionary style Ameri-Do-Te, is just the man to talk to when it comes to wading the legal waters of knife combat, and the honorable master is here to give you the proper tools needed to fight off a knife-wielding enemy without landing yourself before a judge!  Use these tools wisely, readers!
