Our local Gracie BJJ instructor has also started teaching knife fighting under the Martial Blade Concepts school of instruction(MBC). I'm doing my due diligence in research about it right now. I made a goal this year that one of the hard skills I want to improve upon is edged weapon work paired with my combatives plan (Gracie BJJ and Krav Maga). Is the MBC school legit stuff in the blade world ? I don't want to train on something that is going to set me up for failure and get my guts spilled everywhere. The instructor is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to our BJJ and striking skills but blade work is another realm. Just want to be sure I'm getting into the right stuff since I'm paying out of pocket and investing more personal time. I have limited blade training but no formal progressive instruction.
Also, this is a knife that has been recommended to me that pairs well with MBC instruction:
Spyderco Yojimbo 2 http://www.bladehq.com/item--Spyderc...g-Pocket--9531
It was designed by Michael Janich the creator of MBC.
As always, thanks in advance for any input.
