Knife defence is one of the most challenging and controversial topics in the field of martial arts and self-defence. Demanding, because everyone is aware of the immense danger of a knife attack is controversial, because every representative of a particular style sees his or her way of approach as the only true one.

This book deliberately refrains from categorising them into a specific martial art or technique, but instead follows a purely practical approach.
