Ep. 003 - Crisis of Faith in Aikido: Knife and Sword Defenses

A discussion on the biggest influence on me to re-examine the effectiveness of my aikido - the realities of the knife.Here are links to the articles I mention in the podcast:Aikido Journal – Knife Defenses: Death by Disarmhttp://aikidojournal.com/2016/09/06/knife-defenses-death-by-disarm/ Self-defence against knife attacks: evidence-based approachhttps://www.urbanfitandfearless.com/2016/09/self-defence-against-knife-attacks.html Correction: I refer to Patrice Bonnafoux incorrectly as 'she' in this episode, when in fact Patrice is a man. Sorry for the error! The information HE gathered and put together is still top notch and very valuable.
