Considering
that the knife fight is a fast flowing fight with the opponent with risk of
getting injured, mutilation, and even a lethal outcome, the best way to prepare
for such fight can be only the appropriate analogue. It is necessary that in
training the student can do in full force everything that is in the real fight,
but at the same time he and his partners should not be injured. To do this,
specialized training devices are used.
Training devices are imposed to following
requirements - this is an external similarity with a virtual opponent or his
movements, easy to handle, trouble-free operation, conform to the
anthropometric and functional features of students.

devices meet the real requirements for attacking and defensive actions. Each of
individual training devices corresponds to its own special training technique,
helping to use

capability. The obligatory condition to start the training is the preliminary
study and proper execution of techniques.
An example of the simplest simulator is the
mirror that helps to learn the basic elements of knife fight: sport stand,
movement, knife stabbing, protective and attacking actions. The student has the opportunity to see and
analyze how certain techniques are obtained, to achieve cleanliness of their
fulfillment.
