How to "couch" all this?
One example.
This is the forward of my new knife book...
<<<<.>>>>
"Knife fighting is not an art. Or a hobby. Or an interest. It isn’t fun. Nor is a bullet to the brain or a broken leg with an exposed, splintered bone though the flesh. If you think it is, then I think you need your head examined or a real dose of reality experience.
This is a book about the very essence of knife/counter-knife combatives. It’s sources run the gamut from forensic science, crime, war, military, law enforcement and martial arts. It has been my lifelong pursuit to bridge the gap between these sources, as each group knows things about fighting the other doesn't. I am but a mere, dedicated vessel for all these points of reference. I myself have no great fondness for knives, sticks or guns. Instead, I am obsessed with tactics first and foremost. The truth in combatives lies behind martial systems into the generic, non-denominational strategy and tactics.
This book is meant primarily as a military resource book, with a heavy militant flavor and feel. You will read terms like "soldier" and "enemy" to designate the trainer and trainee positions and those terms will define the winner and loser. You will find numerous, true military knife combat stories and various military themes. This militancy to me is the core truth from which the soldier, law enforcement and the aware citizenry can find edged-weapon, ideas, methods and training ideology.
Under the scope and spectrum of this military filter, the most, effective and brutal methods can be explored without distracting concerns for humanity or political correctness. Life, death and tactics. It just is what it is. And from this violent base is the true vile nature of knife combat. Brutal. Ugly. Vicious. Disgusting. Wet.
It is my personal wish for you that you may never have to lift a knife for self-defense or defend any righteous cause: that you live a prosperous life without serious confrontation or violence: that you read this book only to prepare for a worst-case scenario. I demand that you use this information for the common good of oneself and human democracy.
So, it is with some regret, some hesitation and trepidation that I present to you this very dark book. I do this because I know the nature of time and humanity. I know this is information that needs to be collected somehow and passed on by someone, somewhere so good people may survive the ebb and flow of evolution, and for the dark days that surely come and then surely pass again. Again and again.
We gather in practice reluctantly. We pursue with an uncertain sadness, with purpose. As a surgeon uses a sharp scalpel to cut flesh and preserve life, I ask you to do the same with this knowledge. Use your knife to save your life, your family and friends, your proper government. The enlightened will understand what I mean."
