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 from Concealed Carry Magazine features Martial Blade Concepts founder Mike Janich demonstrating how to use a knife to disarm and stop an active shooter in a gun-free zone. It covers situational assessment, tactical thinking, the advantages of carrying a knife for self-defense, and vulnerable points of an active shooter. The video aims to provide practical self-defense strategies focused on neutralizing the threat effectively.

This video debunks the myth of stabbing an attacker's torso for stopping power with a knife. Instead, it emphasizes targeting limbs, particularly the forearm, to 'defang the snake' by disabling the attacker's grip. This approach is legally justifiable as minimum force and tactically effective for creating escape opportunities.

This video from Into The Fray (Episode 170) focuses on a self-defense application for a fixed-blade knife, demonstrating a rigging method using a static line for quick and safe access. The technique described allows for a secure draw that prevents accidental cuts by deploying the sheath away from the blade. The USCCA promotes this educational content as part of its mission to educate gun owners and advocate for self-defense. The video encourages viewers to join the USCCA for legal protection and offers various free resources and guides related to concealed carry and firearms.

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 explains the optimal method for carrying a tactical folding knife for self-defense: tip-up carry in the strong-side pocket. Tip-up carry allows for a faster, more secure draw and immediate master grip, significantly reducing manipulation time. It also offers enhanced safety, especially with assisted openers, by preventing accidental deployment into the pocket.
