E.D.G.E.™ Knife Survival System
Two Tracks. One Goal: Stay Alive.
Real-world knife defense training designed for everyday civilians…whether you are empty-handed or carrying an EDC tool.
You don’t rise to the occasion…
You fall to the level of your training.
Knife violence is fast, brutal, and unforgiving. The E.D.G.E.™ system is built to prepare you for the reality, not the fantasy.
Whether you carry tools or just your instincts, these two proven tracks deliver everything you need to survive and get home safe.
Track 1: Empty Hand vs. Knife
Evade. Distract. Grab. Escape.
- Avoid the initial strike.
- Disrupt your attacker’s rhythm.
- Control the weapon hand, not the blade.

Ideal for anyone who isn’t carrying a weapon but wants raw, practical survival skills.

Equip. Detect. Guard. Escape.
- Carry and train with effective, legal tools.
- Spot danger early.
- Protect your vital zones with precision.
- Escape and stay legally safe.
Perfect for the prepared civilian carrying a knife, light or everyday tool.
