Pure Gold
Hi Trav,
I just wanted to fire off a quick email and say how glad I am I invested in your Knife course material. It is a rare thing to find a teacher who simply wants to share good quality material with the only intent being to develop the student. So far I am reviewing the Knife Mastery and the Head Movement course and the material is pure gold!
Thank you,

Really Shines
This course is great man. When I tested it, I was able to avoid anything fatal and counter with the few lessons I’ve seen. Knife defense is ugly but I like your approach, as usual. This course really shines when you mix it with other courses though. The striking course and leg lock course makes me feel totally confident in my skill to punch someone’s lights out and keep them down. All we need now is an actual arm locks course 😉

Freakin' Cool
Hey Trav,
Great program, I love it. Your perspective is real world and includes everything: striking, throwing, positioning etc. Coming from a traditional Jiu Jitsu system, it looks and feels very traditional which is why I love it. You bring traditional combative martial arts principles and tactics into the modern world, which is freakin cool.
Thanks again, and it helps that your entertaining. Now off to teach and throw some youngsters around in my kids classes. Thanks for doing this, I think it's awesome.

Hey, Trav! I have a couple of things I wanted to ask you about, but first things first: I am enamored with this Knife Defense course so far even being only a few videos in. I can't wait to dive into the rest of this as time allows.

Amazing Stuff
Hi Trav,
I am working my way through your Knife Defense course and there's so much sense to what I’ve seen so far, even though I have no striking experience. I’m only a 4 stripe blue belt in jitz, but I like to think it gives me some slightly honed bull detection abilities.
The lesson plan and the collecting of skills is definitely what keeps me interested in training jitz. I applied your hand check/jab (from the down thrust knife position) to jitz sparring in the gi and I’ve been nailing their sleeve straight into an arm drag or a trip! Results there 🙂
Ignoring my waffle, love the vids, editing, humor etc. and the fact that you obviously love teaching, it comes across all the better in the content. Amazing stuff, can’t wait to start drilling
All the best to you mate,

Important
Hey Trav,
I’ve practiced self defense for about three years and the dojo I attend has quite a focus on knife defense. However, after having completed your course on Knife Defense I honestly can state that now for the first time I understand what is important in a dynamic knife defense situation. You provide a great concept that is simple, easy-to-understand, easy-to-practice, and effective. For sure it was not the last time I will go through your course.
I have been a fan of fight smart since I completed your Head Movement program. And I liked the Knife Defense course so much I finally ordered some fight smart t-shirts. I was hesitating because the shipping cost to Germany would cause a major hole in my retirement plan. Great course! Thank you! I hope you will sell a lot of stuff and get obscenely rich!
Have a good time!

The Missing Piece
Hey, I gotta tell ya, I’m not a fighter but I’ve studied martial arts since I was a kid (I’m 52 now). My black belt, and most of my time, has been studying Ed Parker’s American Kenpo. I love it and have felt it is the most practical MA I’ve studied. The instructor at our particular school remains traditional requiring extensive Kenpo knowledge for black belt testing as well as a Jiu Jitsu requirement and some Kung fu for completeness. However, even with that and sparing, I’ve always felt there was something missing.
YOU’VE PROVIDED THE COMPLETENESS! THE KEY! THE MISSING PIECE! YOU ARE THE MISSING LINK! The combination of your real life experience, with essentially scientific testing, in full speed attacks is absolutely brilliant! It seems like such an obvious concept yet you were the first to do it! I have simplified my Kenpo techniques for my son and added your stuff!
Excellent job and thanks!

Thank You
I viewed the entire Knife program and I’m glad I did. Your research into the best and simplest moves and techniques are worth viewing and practicing time and time again. I'm so glad I purchased the Knife video and now I'm finally able to start viewing Fighting Bigger People. Unfortunately; I'm not a young buck anymore and turning 54 this month I'm now getting arthritis in the knees. These techniques are great for my limited mobility (No deep squatting or lunging).
I also want to say your humor makes these video enjoyable to watch along with attached real-life situation videos that explain in detail how to avoid being slashed or stabbed. Every Martial Artist, regardless of their system, needs to incorporate these videos into their arsenal. They are simple and tested for all to see.
Thank you so much for your time and effort in putting these together.

Shines
As a Martial Artist and self defense enthusiast I have been looking for a realistic knife defense guide for a long time. I have seen many teachers of Krav Maga, Kali and others teaching knife defense. I am not going to say they didn’t work although they didn’t work for me well. I am a guy who believes in sparring (slow & hard). For me if I can’t use a technique in sparring, then I can’t use it in a fight. Here Trav’s “Knife Defense Mastery Program” Shines. He teaches “Non Committal” defense against knife attacks in this course so that you can react to their tricks and fakes, which is much more realistic for a knife attack. The “Full Committal” defense that the others teach always got me stabbed in sparring sessions because if they’re tricking or faking, your defense is all in at that point and they’ve got you.
I wanna give Trav a “HUUUGGE Thanks” for taking time to think about this course and produce it. This course is the most realistic course for knife defense I have ever seen.

Absolutely Stellar
I just finished the Knife Self Defense course and I have to say that you really outdid yourself this time. This course was absolutely stellar! It’s very clear and easy to see that lots of work and effort was put into it. I absolutely loved how you left no stone unturned in the Knife Defense game.
I like how the course is set up with 4 parts covering each subject and using American football techniques in order to have a functional advantage was very clever. Overall it was a lot of fun to watch and learn. It really did live up to the hype and then some.
The conclusions you put are always heartwarming and I always look forward to them. I feel much safer against a knife attack now than before as long as I keep practicing everything I learned. These videos completely shift the conversation about knife defense to a completely new angle, the same way you did with multiple attackers. Instead of saying it can’t be done, now we are saying it can and here’s the proof.
Well done, Trav!

Super Detailed
So far I think it is great. I expected just a few videos, but was very happy to see that the whole course is already laid out and the videos are super detailed. One was like 30 min long! I have recently started training with the BJJ and Judo with the gi, so the lessons on isolating the knife I thought were very effective and easy to learn. I also feel like combining this with your footwork lessons and adding in the FMA lessons for situational awareness are also a great help. Overall I’m still trying to take everything in and get in as many reps as possible, but so far I love the program. Well worth the money!

Excellent Stuff
You have made me a crazy person, I have ordered my first ever rubber knife. I have someone to practice with gently.
I am very excited, I wish I had someone to throw and wrestle, but no takers so far. I want to try some of the take downs.
It’s excellent stuff. It’s the most friendly, kind spirited training to kick the snot out of attackers ever.
Thanks Trav

Nothing Like It!
From what I’ve seen of the Knife Defense course, there is nothing like it! I mean it! Usually self defense systems and techniques (especially weapon defense) are very unrealistic and very dangerous for the defender.
I really like how you took the MMA formula and applied it to knife defense.
The course is very good, high quality and down to earth. Even now I feel safer if I am to get attacked with a knife hahaha. I really appreciate the material you put out man, keep up the good work!

Better Than Anything
Trav,
I love the Knife Self Defense program so far. I have trained in Krav Maga. They they teach to block and strike at the same time, but that’s where the similarities end. Some of the knife defense lessons that I learned from Krav Maga did not make me feel comfortable. If I was ever in a situation where a person is attacking me with a knife, I would pick your training to save my life.
I have purchased many of your programs because they make sense. Thank you for creating this program. On hand to hand fighting and defense your lessons are much better than anything I’ve tried before. I know that de-escalation is the goal, and for the last 18 years it has worked for me. If I do need to fight and defend myself or my family I know that I can fight smart.
Thank you!

Thanks
I'm really enjoying your course. I've done competitive fencing; mostly epee (no right of way rules just poking the whole body), and saber (the poking-slashing weapon). Sure, fencing is a sport and as such lacks the realism of a true free-for-all fight, but the distancing and the feints and the parries are all there.
Thanks for putting all of this amazing information.

So far I love the course, I just need to convince someone to join me in training this. I still have a lot of content to crunch thru, but I’m sure it’s on point as usual.
Also kudos for continually delivering top quality content in your videos, I genuinely appreciate the effort. From the business side of things I enjoy seeing the attention to detail in the content that matters.

Loving the course, Trav. Movement in general is something I need to work on and so far I would say that this course has already made a positive difference in my game. I’m a big guy, so elusiveness is essential for me and I’ve never taken the time to develop it specifically. So thank you for giving me the tools to use in my spare time and work on it specifically at home.

Hey Trav, I'm a fourth year nursing student and just got into your Head Movement mp3 a couple months ago. I was working a shift at the hospital and had the opportunity to work with a patient who had unpredictable violent tendencies. There were a couple occasions where he would spontaneously throw a punch or spit at my face, particularly when my hands were full with syringes or meds of some kind. My mind was thoroughly blown when my body just seemed to instinctively move out of the way, and I was able to control the situation or get the hell out of there. Thanks for saving my face man!

I’ve been doing your drills every day. Parts of me are hurting that I didn't think could hurt and it’s a great feeling. It seems like I've been getting faster by the day. I've been doing this type of thing since I was a little kid, but this is the most relatable course I’ve done in while.
You’re easy to understand and it seems like I'm listening to one of my buddies. So keep up the good work and when I'm comfortable with the Head Movement program, I will buy the rest one by one. The free ones are great too!
Thank for your time,

Trav,
Definitely enjoying the vid series on not getting hit. The two things I learned about myself day 1 of MMA training were that I love the sport and that I really don't like getting hit. Fight while not getting punched all the time is pretty much my favorite thing to do. While I was able to do this with moderate success by simply moving my head like you recommend as often as possible, the tight movements and specific muscle groups you cover were exactly what I needed to defend with more intent and less effort - and look cool as hell in the process.

I've been doing the Head Movement and Striking workouts in combination for about three weeks.
All this ducking, bobbing and core rotation work caused by the routines you created are causing at least two side effects.
Firstly, I'm starting to get ridges across my obliques and they are starting to appear on my abs, and secondly, my love handles have disappeared.

"The Head Movement Program” is freakin' awesome. I'm a U.S. Marine yet still could improve on fighting. The instruction is very detailed and clear. Explained so that you will understand the concept of every technique. This layout builds confidence by repetition. The more time you spend on each technique, the smoother and quicker you become. Throw on music and do the techniques in front of a mirror to encourage good form and explosiveness. Devote time to this excellent presentation over months and you will advance to a new level of readiness as a warrior.

Hey Trav, I love the program. It's the only thing that I use for fitness and it keeps me in good shape. I can feel the movements happening really fluidly, and the only hard part is that it's kind of hard to be creative when linking slips, ducks, and bobs.
Your magical-combination-maker thing helps guys like me get through the lack of head movement creativity, and I really dig it. Aside from that, you're a funny dude, thanks for not being dry and s***ty!
Thanks for making this program, and keep the awesomeness comin' brother!

I can highly recommend the Head Movement Training program. Trav is a great coach who breaks down each slip step-by-step. Through a comprehensive training routine, he builds those skills which will make you as slippery as snot and make you a devastating counter puncher. You need very little equipment; just a mirror, a piece of rope, skipping rope and pool noodles…yes I said pool noodles. If you have ever wanted to slip like Mike Tyson, this revolutionary program will teach you those skills, all you have to do is to apply the knowledge. I'm currently running through it for a second time to sharpen up my skills the Head Movement Training program is a great value for the money and great fun too.

Dear Trav,
Thank you for your excellent products. I already purchased your Head Movement and Striking Dojo programs, I absolutely love them. They coincide perfectly with the coaching that I'm getting from my professional trainers. They are truly well put together, easy to follow, and excellent programs that inter-mingle perfectly with the training I'm getting. They are excellent at sharpening my skills significantly! It's great to be able to watch the videos and listen to them when I'm sitting comfortably in my home; then I rehearse and visualize the movements in my mind over and over. And finally, I put them to use at the gym and mixed along with the training I get from my coaches your videos have significantly boosted my skills in many ways. Thank you.

Trav,
I was in the garden with my autistic son this afternoon and he moved a tree to a different location. Inside the large tree pot was a heavy post digging bar. My kid tilted the tree and the post came toward my head straight on – not sure why, but I instinctively slipped and it just scraped my skull behind the ear. Just a minor headache now and some shock wondering how I avoided major injury. Oh, and a good story to tell.
No shit, one inch more to the right and I would have been F***** up!
THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR HEAD MOVEMENT PROGRAM!

Hey Trav!
I started watching your videos about a week ago and I loved em. I practiced hooks, crosses and kicks on my heavy bag. My dad helped me when I practiced leg locks. I found your videos interesting and educational. I’ve even applied stuff I learned.
At school (yes, I'm 14) some dude started fighting with my sister. I approached and asked "What's the problem?" and then he started saying things like "I will crush you" etc. I didn't want any trouble, so I tried to talk to him. Then suddenly, he hit my sister! (He's 16 tho.)Then he tried to hit me, but I remembered stuff that you have taught me. I slipped and he missed. And again .And again. Then I hit him with a left hook and a few crosses. It seemed like they were ineffective against him. So I kicked him in the kneecap. He grabbed his leg, so I used my chance-I hit him in the face with my heel!!! He started bleeding and he fell "asleep" :P. So yeah, now everyone looks at me like I'm a hero-thanks to you! I mean like, YOU ARE AWESOME!
P.S.-U r the best. I will continue watching your videos! Thanks for everything.

Hey Trav,
I just wanted to say thanks and "nice bonus" on the Philly Shell/Mayweather Defense seminar. I don't know if you promoted that in the Head Movement course pitch e-mails, but I don't remember seeing it. Anyway, awesome. I'm going to enjoy digging into this. I am generally much more comfortable in a "traditional boxer" stance, and sort of gravitate towards the Tyson/peekaboo thing, but my Taekwondo instructor is insisting on a stance that is basically for all intents and purposes a "Philly Shell" (to protect the ribs from sidekicks and such). I was thinking how uncomfortable the transition was going to be, how much I don't like it, etc., and boom, there's your seminar in my Head Movement course.
Nice timing!
