Books & more: Master class knife fight

Jim Wagner is considered a master of self-defense with and against knives. In this book, he shares his knowledge with the reader, who can get an idea of how dangerous and fast fights with blades can be. Not "chivalrous" and "fair": Wagner's system is based on reality - and that's where the fight is fast and dirty. Police officers, soldiers, and civilians are the target audience for this reading, which the author expressly labels as "survival training."

Which brings us to the topic: a good book that provides essential suggestions and tips on how to react in escalating situations. In the end, however, it is important to note that reading alone is not enough. One must also practice what they have theoretically learned. Perhaps in a course with Jim Wagner himself...
