[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 3688999, member: 5391"] ricco, I seem to recall from the Kansas forum that you went through Ayoob's LFI-1 course. So did I in 1985 Long Beach California, and I thought it was a great course. One of the things that we covered was the issue that you raised in the OP: how close is too close? The premise here is that the bad guy has a contact weapon of some type, either edged or impact. One of the exercises we did was the Tueller drill. What we did, for those not familiar with the Tueller drill was to stand seven yards from our partner and run to him as fast as we could to simulate a knife attack. The defender was to draw his weapon (simulated, of course) and try to stop the opponent before he got to him. IIRC, due to my mobility issues, I was the slowest one there and it took me right around two seconds to close the seven yards. How close is too close? I'd say twenty-five feet or under. [/QUOTE]
