Edged-Weapon Self-Defense System Developed by Michael D. Janich
The locations of Michael Janich’s seminars are based on the support of motivated sponsors and hosts. Seminar locations have also been chosen to provide training opportunities in all regions of the U.S. (all time zones) to make MBC training as accessible as possible. Experience has shown that motivated students with a sincere interest in MBC will make the effort to travel to participate in these events.
For those interested in sponsoring a seminar in your area, I encourage you to contact my Certified, Associate, and Affiliate Instructors to organize training events with them. Contact information for all MBC instructors is included on the Contact page of this web site.
In this two-day seminar, Michael Janich will present comprehensive instruction in the fundamental skills of his MBC system and the progressive training methods necessary to make them into defensive reflexes.
This course will provide step-by-step instruction in the fundamental skills of using a knife as a defensive weapon, including knife carry, high-speed deployment, recognition and identification of common street attacks, defensive responses, anatomical targeting, and the realities of knife stopping power. Building on this foundation, it will introduce progressive training methods and reflex training drills to accelerate skill development and combat reflexes. Finally, it will include detailed instruction in MBC's close-quarters reverse-grip system and the methods of adapting that system to improvised weapons, including kubotans, pens, and tactical flashlights.
Students should bring purpose-designed training knives (ideally folding trainers that closely replicate your carry knife) and eye protection.

In this unique seminar event, hosted by renowned knifemaker and combatives instructor Fred Perrin, Michael Janich will present progressive instruction in all aspects of the Martial Blade Concepts and Counter-Blade Concepts systems. Students will begin with instruction in the core skills of MBC, focusing on high-speed knife deployment, combative applications, and in-depth analysis of edged-weapon stopping power. Based on student aptitude and progress, this course will also introduce reflex training drills and other training methodologies, contrasting MBC methods with traditional FMA versions. Students will also gain an insight into the counter-knife skills of CBC and their application with the knife and against other types of ballistic and static weapon threats.

Michael Janich’s “Street Skills” seminar is both a modular and an integrated approach to developing practical personal defense skills and defensive tactics skills for law enforcement and security personnel. Drawing from the skill sets highlighted in the popular Best Defense television show, it features instructional modules that focus on the defensive use of the knife (Janich’s acclaimed Martial Blade Concepts curriculum), practical unarmed skills (Damithurt Silat), empty-hand defenses against weapons (Counter-Blade Concepts), and practical joint-locking, restraint, and control tactics. These instructional modules will focus on these topics, while at the same time identifying and developing the body mechanics, leverages, patterns of motion, and reactive principles that serve as “common ground” to all of these skill sets. This approach enables students to develop practical, usable, and highly retainable skills in a very short time and allows them to easily adapt these skills to different weapons and circumstances.
The exact seminar dates and schedule of instructional modules will be posted as soon as details are finalized.

In this seminar, Michael Janich will build on the fundamental skills of the MBC system to refine and expand them through progressive training methods. These methods support higher skill development and hone functional combative reflexes. This course will also present progressive instruction in the Counter-Blade Concepts (CBC) curriculum, Damithurt Silat empty-hand system, and other selected skill sets.
Designed to build on a student’s foundational skills of defensive knife use, this seminar will take you to the next level by introducing progressive training methods, reflex training drills, and advanced, layered applications. Collectively, these methods provide a stress-based training methodology that ingrains combat reflexes and enhances spontaneous reaction skills. This seminar will also explore the latest evolution of MBC's close-quarters reverse-grip system and the methods of adapting that system to improvised weapons, including kubotans, pens, and tactical flashlights.
As part of an integrated approach to defensive skills, Janich will also present practical unarmed skills (Damithurt Silat), empty-hand defenses against weapons (Counter-Blade Concepts), and the integration of the body mechanics, leverages, patterns of motion, and reactive principles that serve as "common ground" to all combative skill sets.
This seminar will be conducted at Grove City Karate, 4068 Hoover Rd., Grove City, OH 43123. Previous training in MBC and its related systems is necessary to benefit from this course.
