COMING SOON: KNIFE SURVIVAL…
FOR THE REAL WORLD
What if everything you have been told about knife defense… was wrong?
Pause.
Take a deep breath.
And picture this:
You are walking alone.
It’s late. You are tired.
And before you even register what’s happening…you are surrounded.
There are No rules. No referee. No second chances.
And in that moment, there is no time to reach for your knife or anything else.
Because the weapon… is you.
That is where this series begins.
BOOK ONE: UNARMED “YOU ARE THE WEAPON”
Before you ever draw a blade…
You must know how to fight unarmed.
Because that is how real violence starts.
Fast. Brutal. Unexpected.
And if your mind and body aren’t trained to respond instantly…you will freeze.
You will hesitate.
And you will lose.
People think they will pull out a weapon and magically win.
But it doesn’t work that way in the real world.
The fight begins before the tool is in your hand.
And if you are not the weapon…the knife won’t save you.
I like to say it straight:
You are your own First Responder.
No one is coming to your rescue.
Not the cops. Not your friends. Not some fantasy technique.
It is your mindset.
Your decisions.
Your conditioning.
Your WILL to survive.
And you can’t wish your way to safety.
You train for it.
You forge it.
You step into the fire and you embrace the suck…because that is what hardens you.
So when hell breaks loose, you don’t flinch.
You respond with clarity.
What You Will Unlock in BOOK ONE:
✅ How to survive the ambush when your hands are all you have got
✅ Why distance, movement and awareness beat gadgets and gimmicks
✅ What really happens when multiple attackers close in and how to survive it
✅ The truth about adrenal response, fear and chaos…and how to work through it
✅ Real drills. Real pressure. Real mindset upgrades.
This isn’t choreographed fluff.
This is raw, tested, in your face survival training.
If you have ever thought:
“I carry a knife, but I don’t actually know if I could use it…”
or
“I have got pepper spray. That’s probably enough, right?”
Let’s be honest: It’s not.
The truth is brutal:
You don’t rise to the occasion…you fall to your level of training.
And if that training isn’t real, pressure tested and built around you as the weapon…
You are gambling. Not preparing.
BOOK TWO will be:
“Knife as a Tool for Self-Defense”
BUT FIRST… you train unarmed.
Because that is where the fight starts and where most people fail.
When the fear gets loud…
When the light flips off in your head…
You will move anyway.
You will fight anyway.
Because you have done the work.
Book One is dropping soon.
And when it does, you will either be ready…
Or you will be making excuses.
So decide now.
Get on the inside list.
Be the one who trains before the storm hits…not after.
Because when it’s go time…
You won’t be reaching for a weapon.
You will already be one.
KNIFE SURVIVAL: FOR THE REAL WORLD No fantasy. No fluff. Just raw clarity under chaos.
