AMOK! Edged Weapons Training:
Functional training for the realities of edged- weapon encounters

Unarmed Knife Defense - Knife for Self-Defense - Tactical Knifework


What is "AMOK!"?

AMOK! Is a professional edged-weapons training organization focused on developing functional capabilities under realistic conditions. 

AMOK! Training develops the ability to recognize problems, make decisions, and apply appropriate skills against active opposition. Training progresses from technical development into increasingly uncertain and resistant environments so students learn not merely what to do,but how to solve problems when the situation doesn’t unfold according to plan.


Awareness

CMA AMOK! Weapons Training classes help you become more aware - not just of your surroundings keeping you safer, but of your own body and mind, keeping you healthier.

Defense

Self Defense matters. Studies show consistently that when you're attacked, fighting back significantly improves your chances. And we'll show you how to fight back quickly and effectively.

Confidence

If you aren't trying new things, you aren't living your life. Trying new things is hard, but we make it easy, building confidence step by step. Setting and accomplishing goals, overcoming obstacles, and more!

What Makes AMOK! Training Different?


Knowing a technique and being able to apply it against an unpredictable person are two very different things. AMOK! Training progressively develops:

Mechanics - Distance - Timing - Recognition - Identification- Decision - Application

Students first learn the necessary skills. They then learn to apply those skills under increasing levels of uncertainty, resistance, and opposition. 

The objective isn’t memorizing more techniques. 

The objective is capability.

This is for real people.

CMA AMOK! Weapons Training Classes were designed specifically for real self-defense
