Enhancing Knife Training: Lessons from Nigel E.’s Podcast

My friend’s podcast just gets better and better. This one is with Nigel E. February of Piper fame.

Nigel studied criminals and built a system that shows how they work, to produce a better training bad guy. The result he labeled Piper.

Every time I hear Nigel, I cross-check our KORA knife system. In the past, I have thrown things out or altered our training and the way I teach. We practice practical knife usage within my group.

We may use knife sparring for our other training techniques and because it’s fun but really we are about this.

The result is we did a lot of refining. It blends well with what I learnt in Spain. It also aligns with insights from my family members. They learnt from relatives who were in the trenches of the First World War and in Vienna in the 1950’s.

This podcast is really worth a look at. It is especially useful for my training partners. Rather than giving the main lessons away, I leave it to you to watch the podcast. It may just save your life.
