It's a terrible thing that happened that day. I would be interested to know if any of you school owners/knife instructors have seen an increase in interest in learning knife use/defense since Sept 11? Also, if you have recieved any negative criticism that you are teaching people a very deadly art that does not take much training to become effective with a knife.
There was a writeup in the local paper about a TKD school and how people are becoming more interested in self defense (particularly knife defense) and less for the other benifits like exercise, disipline, etc. since the terrorist attacks. I know this school, and can only hope that this school, and schools like it, are teaching REAL knife fighting/defense and not the usual " I stab you and hold my arm out so you can grab it defense." I study TKD as well, and there weapons use and defense is next to nothing.
This is a sensitive subject, and sorry if I offend anyone effected by the Sept 11 tragedy (I think we all were).
salamat.
