If you are a Black Belt magazine reader, you probably have already seen Michael Janich on the cover of the September issue and read his cover story. The article, “Bleeding Edge: Martial Blade Concepts Represents the State of the Art in Knife Fighting,” explains how his Martial Blade Concepts (MBC) is the end result of his 30 years of training, research, and analysis. In the article, Janich describes how he adapted battle-proven tactics from the Philippines and Indonesia to form the modern methods taught in MCB, as well as how to select a blade to carry based on size and type, how to test a blade’s effectiveness on real flesh, and how to immediately stop an attacker to allow you a safe exit. The second part of the article will run in next month’s issue of Black Belt.
Paladin customers know Michael Janich from his books and videos on everything from knife fighting to point shooting to blowguns to learning a foreign language. One of his most popular Paladin titles is the video Martial Blade Concepts: A Crash Course in Defensive Knife Tactics, on which Janich demonstrates how to hone his MBC techniques into high-speed training drills.
