knife-fighting techniques/self defense

[larrytwohig]

Any recommendations on books/websites/schools in NYC on this topic... I am trying to get away form the traditional training offered by martial arts, and focus on simplification of technique, as well as mental preparation for a dangerous situation. Thanks!

You might want to try asking this in the Practical Tactical Forum under Tactics and training. Might get more responses.

Larry .., there is literally tons of material on the subject.., varying philosophies...etc. I'd do some searches on the web.., pick and orientation you like.., then maybe even find local classes and ask if you can observe, talk to instructors..., then pick a path you want to follow.
