We had regular class this morning and then our first extended training session in several months. Regular class saw us working on CBC control and counter techniques followed by their analogous CBC as MBC techniques. Great view of commonality of technique.

During the extended portion of the session, we had a hard working group of folks from Boston and Northern NH as well as locals. We managed to get through 4 of the 8 MBC Legos in about 3 hours. Several folks hadn't trained in some time and the Legos helped them get back up to speed in short order.

Check out this video on whether push daggers are practical for self defense.

The most common argument for using push daggers in self-defense is that they're more natural to use than a traditional knife. Is that true?
