There was an extremely cool event in Poland last weekend...
1st Knife Fight Polish Championship organized by Tomasz Adamczyk of IKMF (
www.krav-maga.com)
Over 300 krav maga students (incl. many active military & LEO), knife defense & knife fight trainings, and of course the championship! In the first stage knife fighters used soft foam knives, but in the final stage the best 6 of them switched to wooden marking blades! You can try it, but you know what? That HURTS! However, it's sooo much more realistic! For example you can use your "knife" to block the opponents hand or knife - try this with foam/rubber knife
Anyway, that was great event. The main prize, next to a nice cup & certificate, was a Chris Reeve & Bill Harsey knife
Professional Soldier donated by me. And as a surprise the winner was a girl! She was so fast and accurate, unbelievable! She was like a black panthera, wow. Movements, speed, etc. I was quite shocked to see this. Well deserved win! I was so happy to present the knife to such a great fighter
Now time for some pictures...
