A while back we did an article for Black Belt about Aikido and knife attacks. We used the FMA 5 angles. I brought in some live blades to demonstrate the idea. Sensei used them throughtout the photo session. Made for great picks.

I stopped a recent Shodan testing to request that the students never touch the blade part.

Blade consciousness is very important. Nothing trains better than real steel.
