I really like his system.
First, it is simple and well thought out. Most programs approach defense from an offensive standpoint, i.e. teach us to fight (whether a gun fight or knife) and then use that to defend. The reason Mr. Myiagi had to say karate is for defense only is because he was teaching him to fight which required a reminder this was for defense. Hoffner starts from the defense side.
He does this by first explaining that our goal is to do what the one shephard said to the other shephard, "let's get the flock out of here". Then he provides a few simple tools (techniques) that will allow us to get into a place to use our primary tool - track and field. The techniques are easy to learn, easy to practice, and, hopefully, easy to use.
Then he provides a knife that works perfectly in the system with everything you need and nothing you don't.
So if you have avoided carrying a knife for defense because you're a lover and not a fighter and don't think you can or want to learn to fight, then this is the program.
Get the kit with video, training knife, and basic knife. Then you can start praciticing. You will still need the class as I learned some things that were not in the video.
