Man what an absolute pleasure it was to listen to someone with so much self-defense knowledge

Patrick is a very good teacher and mentor for my son. He has given alot of his time for free to teach women how to defend and empower themselves. He is a wealth of knowledge. The three qualities I look for in a teacher are humilty, honesty and gratitude. He has all three. Thank you Patrick and Blade HQ for this video.

You guys should do more themed content like this. Explore different subject matter. Hunting fishing self defense bushcraft hiking so on.

Wow Patrick is extremely well spoken and very intelligent. He as very articulate in his explanations and clearly has an immense amount of knowledge and experience. Love this video!

A Fox Karambit with the wave saved me from being robbed right before Christmas. I saw the guy creeping up on me and still with my nervous energy I just grabbed the ring pulled and you heard that "Click" loud and clear. I also grabbed my Streamlight. The guy turned around and ran.

I really like this guys demeanor and his explanations. He’s not a “kill ‘em all and let God sort them out type persona.

[DarkDragonSlayer]

as a filipino american, i love how us filipinos made a lot of people think that the karambit came from p.i. (philippine island), even filipino ourselves, when it actually came from west sumatra, indonesia. us filipinos just popularized them

I was a combatives instructor in the Army. I have been a martial science instructor since I was 15. I teach my students to do exactly what you mentioned in that, even though I had a 4000 square foot school, we trained all the time in the parking lot between cars. We also wore sneakers, boots and the women (that regularly wore them), wore high heels.

It is rare that you will get attacked in a huge open space with comfortable clothes and choreographed attacks.

Very interesting video and the best one you've put out in a very long time ... I thoroughly enjoyed it!

[bobhabsolute]

George displays such a common human reaction after he serves as a human dummy for the knife work by crossing his arms and legs to protect himself. He just shouted his vulnerability and showed us that the nice guy vibe is not an act. George, you are the kind of men I want as my neighbour.

[my-therapist]

Patrick is awesome and highly knowledgeable in all aspects of combat training!

[eriktaylor]

Take that class and film that class. Well done and bring Patrick back

[daveshikingandbiking]

For me this was the best video I've ever seen from you! Thank you very informative!!

[russman]

Can't go wrong with Patrick Odle. Such a great instructor, I learned so much from him.

[chrisxshock]

Bastenelli is something else. I have so many "self defense" knives as a martial arts instructor, but Bastien Coves stuff has slowly become my favorite.

[rickyhurtt]

When you go to fighting and instead of a punch you're getting opened up an inch deep or so it'll make you jump back and rethink the situation right quick. As in the small knife talked about first. It's amazing what a small blade like that can do

[unfi]

Great vid Blade HQ. Should have more of Patrick in future vid. Cheers from Australia.

[EBAK-zrvc]

Great presentation, very enjoyable and informative interview.

[MoonChild]

This is one of the best videos ive seen. This guy is very informative and has alot of knowledge and skill. Thanks for showing.

Appreciate these types of videos, I hate when knife snobs immediately call something mall ninja if you even mention self defense with a knife
