Combat Knives and Knife Combat by Dietmar Pohl

This comprehensive compendium covers all aspects of self-defense knives, including their history, development, and technology, as well as practice, training, and combat techniques. Learn about the historical development of modern self-defense knives and their various technical systems, designs, and materials. The book covers various possibilities for carrying an SD-knife, answers questions such as whether a folder or fixed blade is the right choice, and gives recommendations on training knives. The most important combat knives and knife combats of Hollywood movies are included. Readers will learn the basics of Wagner's reality-based training system. Contributions from well-known knife and combat experts such as Sal Glesser, Michael Janich, Frank Metzner, Joachim Friedrich, Dieter Kn ttel, and Sohny cover special topics such as butterfly and karambit knives, escrima, and self-defense against dogs.
Jim Wagner's political experience did not come from sitting in a classroom with his nose in overpriced textbooks, although he is college educated and graduated from The School of Hard knocks, but it came from working at all levels of the American government: city, county, state, and federal. His skills in the Special Operations community took him to every continent in the world except Antarctica. He's still hoping a research team will invite him there to teach. Jim Wagner has seen socialism and communism up close in the many countries that he has worked in; from rich countries to the Third World. He's rubbed elbows with the political elite, all the way up to the Oval Office, down to dealing with the homeless on the streets. He has been face to face with both criminals and terrorists. He has been a protestor on one side of an issue, and has held the line as a police officer on the other side. That's right, armed with a helmet, baton, the whole shebang. He was once even embedded in a London Metropolitan Police riot unit to see how the Brits handle business. Jim Wagner has had close relationships with Muslims, liberals, homosexuals, evangelical Christians, has been invited by the Israeli government to train their police and military, a bodyguard for movie stars... he's seen it all. It is from this unique perspective that he takes on the role of your drill sergeant in the Reeducation Camp for Liberal Millennials and Gen Z. After all, he had served as a Master Sergeant with the military as well. Jim Wagner is a white, male American by birth, a Christian by choice, has only been married to one woman, a registered Republican, voted for Donald Trump, a card carrying member of the NRA, and believes that the American system, as established by our founding fathers, although not perfect, is the best political system on the face of the planet, and he has the air tight arguments to prove it. It's because of his deeply held convictions that he feels compelled to turn around you Millennials and Gen Zers before it is too late and you slip into the abyss of socialism, communism, and paganism.
