Steve Moses Knife Class

[Tom Givens]

Steve Moses, Progressive Training Group, will be conducting a one day defensive knife course at Rangemaster in Memphis on 31 May 2003.
This will be a full day of hands-on training, with very little lecture and lots of drills and sparring. Cost is only $150.00.
See Steve's website at www.progressivetraininggroup.com for more information. Contact Rangemaster at 901-370-5600 to enroll.

I've taken this class twice (if you saw me in the kitchen, you'd understand) and it's well worth it. You'll learn some simple, but very effective moves. I'd recommend this class to anyone who carries or wants to carry an edged weapon for self defense. I even signed up a friend after getting her a knife for her birthday.

I carry a gun everywhere I can, but it's nice to know I have an alternative to when I can't.

I concur with the two previous posts. I took Steve's class in Dallas and recommend it highly to anyone who carries a knife for defensive purposes. Steve and Allan are excellent instructors and have little ego or attachment to a particular technique or set of techniques (I guess that's what I appreciated most).

My biggest beef with most training classes is the lack of "aliveness" inherent in most defensive training.

Steve solves a lot of this by having a tremendous amount of knife-sparring in his class. After having several long conversations with Steve, I think he and I are eye to eye on the need for "aliveness" in training.

If you can make it to this class, go.

Having been in one of the classes with Laura, I can honestly say you don't want to be around her when she has a knife in her hands, but the veggies are safe. :)

Having taken firearm classes from Rangemaster, LFI, OPS, Suarez and PTG/SDSI, I was looking for some defensive training for when the firearm wasn't available.

I took PTG's defensive knife course. Steve and Allan, as always, put on a great class with lots of sparing and straight forward techniques that were easy to learn.

I would recommend it for someone who wants to round out their defensive training.

I attended PTG's first Defensive Knife class in Dallas last year. Having been extensively involved in the martial arts since the early 80's I can attest to the quality of PTG's knife fighting instruction.

I hold 1st dan's in Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido and have earned rankings in American Kenpo, Kuk Sool Won, and have recently begun training in Krav Maga. As of yet, PTG's knife training has far surpassed what I had previously learned.

PTG has removed all the esoteric nonsense commonly found in traditional martial arts and refined it's one-day class into a highly effective, easily understandable course of instruction.

I would strongly encourage anyone interested in becoming a more balanced, well-rounded defensive tactician to invest a day of their time into PTG's outstanding Defensive Knife course.

Steve Moses is a personal friend of mine, and one of a handful of trainers out there who understands that having skill with a firearm is NOT ENOUGH. Steve, like a few others have, is offering the knife as an alternative to the gun.

Like it or not, there are plenty of places that a knife (or improvised knife) can go that a gun cannot. Just look at the belt lines or pockets of the folks next time you go shopping or out to dinner - America is becoming a knife culture.

Guys like Steve can show you all you need to know to make the knife your friend.

I can't give a higher recommendation. Get to Rangemaster and learn this stuff!
