Survive the Moment: E.D.G.E. 4 — Empty Hand vs Knife is taken from Kuntao • Pekiti Tirsia • Inosanto Kali.
This is not another flashy demo — it’s a practical, battle-tested system built from 40 years of training in Filipino blade culture. E.D.G.E. 4 is a step-by-step progression teaching empty-hand responses to knife threats, blending Kuntao, Pekiti Tirsia, and Inosanto Kali so you learn what actually works under pressure. Train this and you’ll have a much better chance of walking away from a dangerous encounter than if you hadn’t.
Why this course matters
Real techniques for real danger: focused empty-hand vs knife methods you can apply in the heat of the moment.
