Knife defence at Wolfes Combatives

An Immersion With Wolfes Combatives

I have started my latest Immersion Experience with true self-defence masters Wolfes Combatives.

Last week, I attended my first class. I learned how to stop an aggressor (even one twice my size) from pushing me, how to break a choke hold, and how to turn the tables on an assault from being a victim to being the one in control.

The course was very exhaustive and exhausting, but that was only because I was doing it wrong.

If I was calm and relaxed, as Bill Wolfe instructed, I would not have broken a sweat. As it was, I became tense and apprehensive while fending off Adam, who is 40 lb heavier and 4 inches bigger than me. It was like battling back a mountain. My tension translated into wasted energy.

Of course, as I get more comfortable with the moves, I will have an easier time defending myself. Last week there was not an inch of me that was not covered in sweat. It was hard! But I learned an enormous amount of self-defence knowledge in a very short time.

This week, I will continue my training, and hopefully, be a bit more natural on the mat.
