I have been fighting with blades since I was a child, there is no one who understands the old Italian way of the blade and teaches like Danilo and his masters

In everyday life and field operations

The unpredictability of the conflict

In everyday life, we face challenges that test our security. Threats can arise both in strata everyday and in high-tension missions, so the need to be prepared knows no boundaries between civilian and military and paramilitary life.

You are often faced with scenarios of unexpected violence, where an effective reaction could make the difference between becoming a victim or successfully defending yourself. Traditional self-defense techniques often disregard the unpredictable reality of clashes, leaving people defenseless when they need them most.

The lack of comprehensive preparation, addressing both the mental and the physical aspects of stress in combat situations, and how to use everyday objects for self-defense, can be fatal at critical times.

Faced with scenarios

lack of preparation can
be fatal.
