Not Really About the Targets, at All.
I was expecting a book on "Knife Fighting Targets." That's not what this book is about. It's about fighting with a knife. I found more online about targets, in one webpage, than in this book. The webpage gave me: the targets, the type of attack (slash or stab) needed, the effects, the time factors for simple wounding, bleeding, immobilization, and death. None of that is in this book. I am very disappointed.

VERY DECEPTIVE TITLE
If the title of this book was: "How To Fight With A Knife"I would have given it FIVE STARS but it's title led me to believe that it was about KNIFE TARGETS and it's NOT.VERY DECEPTIVE.

This covers all you need to know this skill set. Even covers physical training and the analysis of where to strike.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK (see why in review)
Do NOT buy “Knife Fighting Targets” (KFT) by Sammy Franco, especially if you already own “Knife Fighting” (KF) by Sammy Franco. They have identical content except that KF has an extra 2 chapters, “Knife Selection,” and “Stance and Footwork” that are missing in KFT.”KF Introduction = KFT INtroductionKF Ch.1,Preventative Measures = KFT, Ch.1 Avoiding a Knife FightKF Ch. 2, Knife Selection = [Not in KFT]KF, Ch.3 Figthting Grips & Ranges = KFT, Ch.2 Knife Fighting ChecklistKF, Ch.4 Stance and Footwork = [Not in KFT]KF, Ch.5 Knife Fighting Targets = KFT, Ch.3, Knife Fighting Battle Plan [first half]KF, Ch.6 Cuts and Angles of Attack= KFT, Ch.3 Knife Fighting Battle Plan [second half]KF, Ch.7 Knife Fighting Strategies = KFT, Ch.4 Knife Fighting Battle PlanKF, Ch.8 Knife Fighting Training = KFT, Ch.5 Knife Fighting TrainingKF, Glossary = KFT, GlossaryI purchased them both, and unfortunately KFT arrived first so I read it and highlighted it. I was extremely disappointed to discover that KF was mostly the same book, with two additional chapters and altered chapter titles. The pages that are in both books are identical.Both books are aimed at beginners, so it makes sense to purchase the book containing all the chapters, “Knife Fighting.”

Un excellent manuel destiné aux membres des forces de l'ordre ou aux militaires
L'ouvrage est bien conçu, et permet d’optimiser la défense des zones vitales lors d'un engagement au couteau, mais clairement, en France il ne s'adresse qu'à un public de spécialistes : policiers, militaires ou gardiens assermentés.Dans ce cas c'est un bon manuel qui permet de comprendre, avec une maîtrise correcte de l'anglais, tout les risques que présente une attaque au couteau et quelles sont les zones que vous devez particulièrement protéger si vous êtes un professionnel des armes et si vous devez faire face à un adversaire armé d'un couteau : une situation dangereuse même pour des professionnels bien formés, il y a donc toujours quelques choses à retenir.Ayant été formé à l'instruction commando il y a maintenant 30 ans je rafraîchis mes connaissances régulièrement par la lecture d'ouvrages anglo-saxons qui sont le seul équivalent des travaux du colonel de gendarmerie Raymond Carter en France. Si tous les ouvrages américains ne sont pas des classiques, il y a toujours des nouveautés à intégrer.Par contre, je trouve que ce type d'ouvrage n'a rien a faire aux mains de civils, et que les armes blanches sont des armes de 6ème catégories en France et que leur port est rigoureusement interdit (encore heureux compte tenu de l'épidémie d'agression à l'arme banche qui sévit en Europe en relation ou pas avec des actions terroristes).
