2) Paperback Book Knife Fighting: A Practical Course by Paladin Press. Michael Janichs book does exactly what it says. It gives a person a basic overview of his knife fighting curriculum. It covers different grips, the pros and cons of each grip and what he recommends and why. He introduces his zone theory and basic knife fighting skills. He shows basic thrusts and cuts, he shows some basic defenses.After that he gives examples of some common attacks and defenses for knife fighting.

He then recommends some other books and videos on knife fighting.

The book shows you the basics of "how to fight knife to knife."

What he doesn´t spend much time on is defending yourself if attacked with a knife when you don´t have your knife out already. He does give a few examples, but it´s definitely not the focus. Also, there is virtually no details on defending yourself from a knife if you do not have one.

While these may seem like oversights, they are not the focus of the book. The focus is to teach you the basics of his knife fighting system, pitting knife vs knife. This takes place after the initial ambush and where the fight/duel itself begins.¤

4) Paperback Book Knife Fighting: A Practical Course by Paladin Press. Good introductive book on street knife fighting.
Quality and volume of pictures is pretty good, although in black and white.
The book is realistic, oriented to the fight on the streets, has an offensive mentality (which means cuts and strikes are discussed, with text and photos) and offers many drills to practice the techniques.
I would ideally combine it with the DVD of James Webb also regarding knife fights.
Good and interesting. Maybe the text is a little too redundant which complicates the reading a little.¤
