SAMI-X CORE KNIFE DEFENSE – INTENSIVE MODULE

Knife Defense – Because Every Second Counts

November 29–30, 2025 – Vienna
Two days of high-intensity, fact-based self-protection training against knife attacks.

Knife attacks are among the most dangerous threats in civilian environments – fast, brutal, and highly unpredictable. The SAMI-X CORE Knife Defense Module does not teach choreographed techniques, but provides a clear and practical framework built on real-world incidents, crime data, and video analysis.

You’ll train the structured S.A.F.E. Model (Shield – Arm Control – Fight Back – End the Threat), learning how to maintain control and act decisively under pressure.

You won’t learn stylized movements – you’ll develop fact-based, battle-tested response strategies that can make the difference between panic and survival.
