PIPER KNIFE SYSTEM WORKSHOP!
On Saturday 26 June 2021, in Johannesburg, South Africa, we'll be hosting a workshop where you can learn the powerful techniques and attacks of the renowned Piper Knife System.
The Piper system was born from the underworld of South Africa, and is a practical, deadly, hybrid method of knife use that can be applied to virtually any edged or stabbing weapon.
This workshop will be presented by Des Brown, EDA International Chief Instructor and certified Piper Knife System Instructor. Des was trained personally by Nigel February, the founder and international Chief Instructor of the Piper Knife System, and he will be sharing not just practical techniques and methods of the system, but also insights into the Piper mindset, criminal psychology, and biomechanics to increase your power and speed.
