This video focuses on self-defense techniques specifically for knife attacks, demonstrating a 'follow' response with a knife after evading an initial strike. Mike Janich, founder of Martial Blade Concepts, explains defensive responses and illustrates how to execute the 'follow' move by swiping the attacker's weapon arm tricep from the opposite angle. The video also touches upon differentiating attack angles and deciding whether to go high or low based on the defender's elbow height.
This video from Concealed Carry Magazine, featuring Mike Janich of Martial Blade Concepts, focuses on knife self-defense techniques when initial plans falter. It addresses scenarios where injuries or unexpected situations prevent the execution of preferred moves. Janich emphasizes the importance of adapting and lowering standards incrementally to ensure survival, using dull trainer knives for demonstration. Topics include responding to an 'angle one' knife attack and adapting techniques when only one hand is usable.
This video from Concealed Carry Magazine, featuring Mike Janich of Martial Blade Concepts, provides instructional knife defense tactics applicable for both right-handed individuals defending against left-handed attackers and vice-versa. It emphasizes adapting existing drills, focusing on specific striking angles (30º), follow-up moves, and immobilizing techniques like the "comma cut" to the calf and Achilles tendon. The importance of practicing with training knives and creating distance for safety is highlighted, with the ultimate goal being to escape, notify authorities, and ensure personal safety.
This video demonstrates a high-speed inertial opening technique for folding pocket knives, focusing on self-defense applications. Expert Michael Janich explains the physics of inertia and how to utilize it for rapid blade deployment, especially under stress. The video covers common opening methods, the importance of pivot point and knife design, and the full draw stroke. It emphasizes the critical need for quick and reliable knife deployment in life-saving situations. A giveaway for a brand new gun is also promoted.
This video focuses on self-defense techniques using a knife, emphasizing efficiency and "doing more with less." It teaches how to respond reflexively to violent attacks by focusing on "common ground" techniques, applicable to various assault types like swings and stabs.

This video debunks the myth of stabbing an attacker's torso for stopping power with a knife.

This approach is legally justifiable as minimum force and tactically effective for creating escape opportunities.
This episode of Into the Fray by USCCA, featuring Mike Janich, details critical knife-fighting defense techniques. It focuses on disabling an attacker's primary weapon by targeting specific anatomical points: the forearm to break grip, the tricep to prevent arm extension, and the quadriceps to impair mobility, allowing for escape. The techniques prioritize functional anatomy and areas less protected by clothing for effectiveness.
This video features Michael Janich, founder of Martial Blade Concepts, explaining the concept of "same-side control" and its application to both gun and knife defense. The content bridges the gap between firearm defense principles and their translation to close-quarters combat involving bladed weapons.
