Michael Janich’s “Street Skills” seminar is both a modular and an integrated approach to developing practical personal defense skills. 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 the defensive use of impact weapons, including flashlights, sticks, and canes. 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.

Martial Blade Concepts(MBC) is an edged-weapon training program specifically designed by Michael Janich to meet the needs of today’s concerned citizen and armed professional.
The goal of MBC is the development of “all-purpose” defensive skills. Rather than learning a large number of specific techniques to defend against specific attacks, MBC focuses on perfecting a few proven techniques and learning how to apply them to literally hundreds of different defensive situations. Through this easy-to-learn method, students develop defensive proficiency very quickly and have both the ability and the confidence to employ their skills after only a brief period of training.
Join MBC Columbus for our monthly four hour training session. During this training session we will focus on all the aspects of MBC and its components. The content of the class is subject to change as participants may request we focus on one aspect or another.
If you are new to MBC, you are more than welcome to attend, we will get you up to speed. The beauty of the MBC program is that the core system can be learned in a short period of time.
