7 Knife Angles Diagram

*** PHOTOS AND DESCRIPTIONS ***

1. These are the 7 knife angles of attack. You will also use these 7 angles with short and long sword attacks later. When you print out this diagram, you are standing with a knife in your right hand, and when striking, stepping with the right foot forward. The numbers in this diagram represent the 7 angles as you are looking at the photo with the knife in the right hand. Angles # 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 are all slashing cuts angled in those directions. Angle # 5 is a stab with the knife and angle # 6 is just a threat with the knife near that position.
