AMOK! WORKSHOP:

 

Managing Fully Committed Knife Attacks With

Spread-X, Alt-X and Strike-X Tactics

WED APRIL 30, 7:15-9:15pm

 

Presented by Jesse Harding, AMOK! Instructor (with 25+ years experience)

 

Workshop Objectives:

Understand the purpose and function of the Spread-X, Alt-X, and Strike-X actions in blade encounters. Develop instinctive, structural responses that neutralize the attacker’s forward pressure. Integrate movement, protection, and offensive disruption under real-time stress.

 

Self-Defense Benefits of the Spread-X, Alt-X, and Strike-X Actions:

 

1.Spread-X Action: Disrupt and Frame the Attack

 

Tactical Benefit: Stops the overwhelm. A fully committed attacker is trying to blitz you—Spread-X creates instant distance and structure, disrupting their momentum. Protects vital zones by redirecting the angle of entry. Builds a protective wedge using your forearms/arms, giving you space to survive the initial surge.

Real-World Effect: Most people freeze or turtle under a committed charge. Spread-X trains your body to expand, not collapse, giving you a fighting platform instead of panic.

 

2.Alt-X Action: Reposition and Re-Orient

 

Tactical Benefit: Allows you to change position relative to the attack, especially when you can’t outpace the attacker. Gives you access to better angles to counter or escape. Disrupts their rhythm by placing you where their weapon isn’t—a tactical flank.

 

Real-World Effect: Knife attacks are rarely linear. Alt-X builds agility and adaptive repositioning under pressure—which is key to surviving multiple stabs, slashes, or directional changes.

 

3. Strike-X Action: Immediate Offensive Disruption

Tactical Benefit: This is your violence-on-command counter—used to hit back while controlling the incoming weapon arm. Disrupts their nervous system, breaks their attack loop. Applies powerful, structural strikes from the angles created by the Spread or Alt-X.

 

Real-World Effect: Self-defense isn’t just defense. Strike-X builds the habit of hitting with purpose, even while protecting yourself. It flips you from prey to predator—fast.

 

Integrated Value of All Three:

When trained together, Spread-X, Alt-X, and Strike-X form a mini-system that:

Manages chaos (Spread-X), Controls space and alignment (Alt-X) and Converts defense into brutal counter-force (Strike-X)

 

This is how we can train to survive committed knife attacks—not by memorizing techniques, but by ingraining position, protection, and pressure disruption into your nervous system.
