Force on Force Counter Ambush TDI Kabar Knife and MDTS Raven Concealment PocketShield 21 Jan 2017
I’ve written about the PocketShield, created by Chris Fry of MDTS Training, made and sold by Raven Concealment. I’ve been carrying the KA-BAR TDI knife in my right pocket for almost a year (here are my current thoughts, and a little history).
I’ve been able to deploy the TDI knife a few times during force on force scenarios. One was at ECQC last June, and I’ve had a few during QSI Training‘s scenario based training classes. It’s hard to get good footage, but this is the best so far. Draw, 10 hits with the knife, moving to the back, and making space in just under 4 seconds.
Here’s the scenario, how misdirection was used to anchor me in space just for a second, and how I used misdirection and pseudo-submissive behavior to buy the time I needed.
