Contemporary Knife Targeting: Modern Science Vs. W.e. Fairbairn's Timetable of Death

William Fairbairn's Timetable of Death has been used for years as a standard reference tool by students of edged-weapon tactics. When Christopher Grosz began studying the timetable to validate its use as a reference for law-enforcement responses to edged-weapons attacks, he made a surprising discovery - the information in it was flawed. Grosz began a thorough analysis of Fairbairn's work, human anatomy and the realities of effective knife targeting. He later teamed up with knife expert Michael Janich to document it all in this book. Research was conducted with the help of recognized experts in both the medical and tactical fields. The result is a modern, medically accurate version of Fairbairn's original timetable - plus contemporary self-defense applications of the updated data - that will become the new definitive resource for all students of edged-weapons tactics.

The late Christopher Grosz was a decorated Littleton, CO police office with extensive experience as an instructor in armed and unarmed and unarmed combat skills, including certification as a PPCT Spontaneous Knife Defense Instructor and FBI Defensive Tactics Instructor
