Get some good cut/puncture resistant gloves in case you end up grappling a blade. Watch the old Tueller Drill training videos and then take time to learn some of the Pekiti footwork (specifically the launch/take-off. It is the fastest way to “get off of the X“ and also extremely effective when someone is trying to shoot you.) Edged threats are pretty brutal. If you’re carrying a sidearm as part of your job, maybe get a high quality airsoft version of your duty weapon and a rubber knife- have a friend gear up (for safety) and do his best to “stab“ you in various training scenarios. Whatever you are going up against, blade or firearm, nothing will make you faster and better than frequent Force-on-Force sessions. It’s addictive, too.
