Damn spell check changed it from "Nok" to "Nokia"

Think you can help a brother out Tom?

Thanks

I think most folks are just tucking it between their belt and pants.

Yeah that works pretty well. It's "grippy" enough to stay in place if you cinch down your belt a bit.

I've seen a couple guys use velcro. Put the "loop" on the trainer, and the "hook" on a belt or such.

That's what I do, and it works pretty well.

Just tuck it, or use some velcro.

You can use a metal trainer and sheath for drilling access and the Nok for drilling use of the blade. Your partners will thank you.

Thanks for all the replies and advice.

I started working with it just tucked under in the same carry position and all the advice seems sound and functional. I'll need to test it under some pressure with partners but as stated, I pretty sure they will appreciate the nok vs a metal trainer.

Any benefits to this one over the shivworks trainer?

You can strike with it. Any metal trainer is still too much of a point and too hard to use for strikes, especially ranging type strikes where a more live effort is used. With a Nok knife you can give a pretty good blast and not harm your partners.


Both are wise to have.

Exactly. The metal trainer is great working access and deployment. You DO NOT use it in contact with a partner. When contact is a possibility (even inadvertently), you go to the soft alternative.

And I have taught two seminars in the past three weeks. In both, everyone was going at full speed and power, in contact with a partner(s), and everyone just stuck the Nok into their belts or waistbands the way it was mentioned above, and not one person lost a knife in the struggle. For short training drills, that method is more than capable.

I noted what Cecil said while I was attending his class down in Dallas. The belt tuck thing works very well for this trainer.

I'm glad my sparring partner in the final roll was using one of these, otherwise I would have felt bad about stabbing him with his own knife several times.
