This course gives you the answer to that vital question: "What do I do if he gets inside the muzzle of my M4?"  This is real-world, "good to go" training for your last layer of offense.

CUTTING EDGE TRAINING provides the only basic-to-advanced reality-based knife employment training for any operator, infantryman, or any personnel who may come into close quarters with the enemy. We specialize in training high risk skills to become mission-ready in close-quarters in the shortest period possible.  While focusing on the knife, the reality is, this is a combatives course providing a comprehensive fighting system giving you the highest survivability and best chance of mission completion of any system ever offered.

You need this training to round out the finest military force ever seen on this planet.  "Applied OODA Combatives Theory,"© provides real-world drills that each build upon the last, with winning strategies and real-world combatives skills that will effectively and efficiently assist you in problem-solving in the CQB environment.

This course provides all of the knife and combatives physical skills training necessary for effective employment by operators and infantry.   There is no finer military CQD course, and no better knife employment/combatives method for the real world to be found anywhere.

This 24-hour user course provides:

  • Comprehensive Study of "Effective Combatives Problem-Solving"© and "Applied Combatives OODA Theory"©
  • The Human Weapon System and Vulnerabilities to the Knife
  • Knife Skills
  • Takedowns and Strikes
  • Negatively Multi-tasking the Enemy During Combatives
  • Problem-Solving with Real-World Knife Combatives
  • Weapon Retention
  • Weapon Disarms
  • Real-World GroundCombatives

This essential task training:

  • Is high intensity with safety protocols built-in to ensure a dynamic training environment with few to no injuries--our goal is to intensively train your operators, soldiers, Marines, airmen, and sailors, having them good-to-go for work the day following the course.
  • Realistic for today's warrior--it is achievable for all troops.  Each training course is tailored for the skill level and mission of the troops attending.

This course brings outstanding instructional skill in a simple format that is reality-based, tactically sound, effective, and easy to apply for every troop and operator in your unit.  This completely different process of providing training to create extraordinary competency is something you'd expect only from CUTTING EDGE TRAINING.  We are the original, and, so far, the only trainers to bring you training that is:

  • Outcome-based:   Our training provides practicality based on sound fundamental precepts of tactics, physical skills, and human combat psychology when operating under extraordinarily dangerous circumstances--by employing "Effective Combatives Problem-Solving"© featuring the "Universal Rules and Principles of Combatives,"© and "Applied OODA Theory."©   The only determination of whether the troop's or operator's method of surviving a vicious, up-close attack was "correct" is that the soldier, Marine, or operator was able to carry on his or her mission, and his/her force response was legally reasonable within the ROEs--just like in the real-world.
  • Gross-motor skills dependent:  We never forget that these lessons are applied in the real world of fear and hazard and consequence, where nothing ever goes as planned.  We are the only system that depends solely upon gross-motor skills in our combatives problem-solving efforts.  We employ zero complicated techniques to be forgotten a week later.  Instead, we provide simple to employ, effective skills that have a high likelihood of success in any combative circumstance.
  • Non-Technical:  "Techniques" are fine-motor skills that routinely fail in the real-world.  We teach no techniques because techniques only work against willing troops on the mat and small children.  Instead, we teach you to solve your combatives problems using naturally hard-wired solutions that are easy for every troop, regardless of level of ability.
