Because so many of our readers carry knives and because we believe that training is the backbone to any sort of self-defense, we have added noted knife defense trainer Mike Janich to our list of regular contributors to Concealed Carry Magazine, which means he will also stop in from time to time here at Into the Fray.

Mike moves so effortlessly through the discussion of knife defense that it is easy to see why he is one of the best-known experts in the country. It took him just seven minutes to show me where I could quickly and easily improve my everyday carry gear and, more importantly, he showed why and how his suggestions work.

Personal defense is just that: “personal.” The tips presented here may not work perfectly for you, but having more information is better than having less. Get information. Get trained in new skills. Learn more than you think you need to know. Always be ready.

Apply Sharp Edge to Attacker!

Mike Janich keeps his defensive tips simple, fast and easy to apply. That is the basis of any good defensive technique. Check out Concealed Carry Magazine and the Into the Fray YouTube channel for more great information in the coming weeks and months.
