2 Day – Edged Weapons Course – Fort Scott KS 
 
HOSTED BY: Battleline Tactical and Fort Scott Munitions Training
LEAD INSTRUCTOR: Christopher Doner 
WHEN: 14-15 NOV 2026
 
OBJECTIVE: This is an edged weapons program designed to establish a foundation in the Martial Blade Concepts method. Martial Blade Concepts (MBC) is an edged-weapon training program specifically designed by Michael Janich to meet the needs of today's concerned citizen and armed professional. The goal of MBC is the development of “all-purpose” defensive skills. Rather than learning a large number of specific techniques to defend against specific attacks, MBC focuses on perfecting a few proven techniques and learning how to apply them to literally hundreds of different defensive situations. Through this easy-to-learn method, students develop defensive proficiency very quickly and have both the ability and the confidence to employ their skills after only a brief period of time.
