In the self-defense/use of force training the instructor taught us how Troopers defend themselves against an attacker with a knife if they were unarmed. “And if the Trooper is armed and attacked by a guy with a knife; have any of you seen Raiders of the Lost Ark?” Also, "Never shoot to wound, center mass until the threat no longer exist."
I am interested in blade training. It sounds like you had a great instructor.
