Our students and guests completed an American Drengr Edged Weapon Defense Seminar, gaining vital skills in recognizing and responding to sharp instrument attacks. This training was crucial as edged weapons are easily acquired and represent the most common type of weapon used in fatalities (35%). Attacks are rising, and the danger is severe: victims have a 33% chance of being injured if involved in an attack. Furthermore, many people don’t see the weapon coming, underscoring the need for specialized training to spot danger cues. Within striking distance, an edged weapon is even more lethal than a firearm.
