A rising trend of knife attacks.... 3 in Shanghai last year, the terrible attacks in Kunming earlier this year, a hostage situation in Nanjing less than 2 months ago and now this week again in Shanghai.

It's a growing concern.

Are you concerned ?

Are you prepared if such an event should happen ?

What would you do ?

Now might be a good time to find a self defence or Martial Art class.

In truth I never liked knives (especially when being waved around by some unstable type!!!).

I've spent most of my life studying various martial arts and to be honest not many of them will give you practical techniques that can be used in close quarters combat against a knife. The best I've seen is Samurai Aiki Ju Jutsu, the ancient art of the samurai was designed for an unarmed opponent to be able to safely disarm a sword,knife or some other pointy object about to be used to burst your life containing bubble. 

There are other arts but the Aiki Ju Jutsu best prepares you for what you might face in a knife attack. You learn not to fear but how to react. In my humble opinion it's an insurance policy and one well worth having in times of growing uncertainty.

Stay safe, protect loved ones and those less able to protect themselves.

I hope this inspires people to start a journey that will lead to a life without fear.

刀攻击.... 3去年在上海有上升的趋势，在昆明今年早些时候可怕的攻击，现在这个星期又在上海人质的情况在南京不到2个月前。

这是一个日益受到关注。

你是否担心？

你准备，如果这样的事件应该发生？

你会怎么做？

现在可能是一个很好的时间去寻找自卫或武术类。

说实话我从来不喜欢刀（特别是当一些不稳定型正挥舞着周围！ ） 。

我已经花了我大部分的生活学习各种武术，老实说没有多少人会给你，可以在对刀近距离战斗中使用的实用技术。我见过的最好的是武士合气炬忍术，古代艺术的武士被设计为一个手无寸铁的对手能够安全地解除剑，刀或即将被用来爆你的生活含有气泡其他一些尖尖的对象。

还有其他的艺术，但合气炬忍术最好的为您准备你可能会在一个持刀行凶的脸。你要学会不要害怕，但如何反应。在我的愚见这是一个保险，一个值得拥有的越来越多的不确定性的时代。

保持安全，保护亲人和那些不太能够保护自己。

我希望这启发人们开始一段旅程，这将导致一个没有恐惧的生活。
