Steel_Ghost Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Ak, you should look at the following authors/video makers: James A. Keating Micheal Janich Jerry VanCook John Steyrs (Cold Steel is his book, might not be the best, but its worth having to go along with Janich, VanCook, Keating and the rest) Greg Walker Kelly Worden Hoch Hochheim (Seems his stuff is more of a long involved system, than the others, but if you can take bits and pieces and methods, and put it with the rest from other instructors, you'll get some good stuff.) As a basic book, pick up a copy of Put 'Em Down, Take 'Em Out by Don Pentecost, its simple, but what he gets right, he gets really right... its a book that is definately worth having... not fancy, no flashy moves, no "biomechanical cutting", just going for broke, down and dirty, realistic, knife work. One of my favourite books. Also, GunSite has out two video volumes on knife fighting, which can be gotten through Delta Press and I believe Paladin Press as well... or straight from Gunsite I am sure. Your best bet for stuff from James Keating is going to be Combat Technologies, Jim's company, https://www.jamesakeating.com (the site might not be totally up right now, so email, comtech@bmi.net ) and also Paldin Press, https://www.paladinpress.com For the other folks books and video's, https://www.Amazon.com and Paladin Press are your best bets.

Kirves Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 Anything recent by Burton Richardson is excellent. If it's ten years old, then I'd be more careful, he didn't have it all figured out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
