What's New At Stay Safe Media?
MICHAEL JANICH FEATURED ON THE BEST DEFENSE SEASON 2
From the DownRange.tv website:
The first season of The Best Defense on Outdoor Channel established a new standard for shows about self defense when it premiered in January 2009. Avoidance, knowledge, awareness and preparedness are still the key elements in this new season starting on December 30, 2009 at 1:30PM.
Michael Bane, Rob Pincus and Michael Janich are back with 13 new episodes where they go through different scenarios we might or hope we won’t experience.
... this season of The Best Defense begins at home by teaching you how to deal with a home invasion when you are caught away from your safe room or don’t have one. More importantly, we’ll show you how to put that knowledge into practice by teaching you “training in context”—secrets of replicating the situations you fear most through practical drills at the range.
MICHAEL JANICH FEATURED IN THE SEPTEMBER 2009 ISSUE OF BLACK BELT MAGAZINE
In the magazine's two-part cover story entitled Bleeding Edge, Michael Janich explains his Martial Blade Concepts system of edged-weapon self-defense. The article, which details the history and evolution of Janich's system, explains that MBC is not about "knife dueling" but about "learning to fight effectively with a knife" so you can apply your skills to the broadest possible set of defensive situations. It also emphasizes that, unlike many classical knife systems, MBC focuses on fighting with the knife that you actually have when you're attacked and the importance of decisively stopping your attacker through proper targeting. These concepts are demonstrated with detailed technique pictorials featuring Mike and his long-time student and training partner Matt Zavakos.
Part 2 of Bleeding Edge will appear in the October 2009 issue of Black Belt Magazine and will focus on Janich's acclaimed Counter-Blade Concepts system.
MICHAEL JANICH’S NEW SELF-DEFENSE DVDS
Michael Janich and Stay Safe Media are proud to announce the release of Practical Unarmed Combatives Volumes 1 and 2 : Critical Skills of Damithurt Silat. The product of more than 30 years of research and analysis of the world’s best fighting arts, Janich’s devastating system of empty-hand self-defense focuses on understanding and exploiting the “physiological potential” of simple, instinctive, gross motor skills. In this way, even novice students can quickly learn a few basic tactics and have the ability, confidence, and understanding to successfully defend against a broad range of common street attacks.
Although Janich has shared selected elements of his system on the hit TV show The Best Defense, the full scope of this incredible program has previously only been taught to a few, select private students. Now, Practical Unarmed Combatives Volumes 1 and 2 makes this revolutionary system available to every student of self-defense. Featuring detailed, step-by-step instruction and breathtaking production quality, these videos set a new standard in personal defense instruction.

"The purpose of this blog is to provide a resource through which I can share tips, insights, and suggestions regarding all training related to MBC, CBC, and the related disciplines I teach and practice. In particular, I will focus on sharing experiences that I have when training with my private students and seminar training partners with the goal of helping readers enhance their own training efforts."
Michael Janich featured on the Outdoor Channel's newest program THE BEST DEFENSE.
From the DownRange.tv website:
The Best Defense is something new under the sun, a series that focuses on all aspects of personal defense from basic awareness to surviving violent encounters. The show features Michael Bane, author of the landmark TRAIL SAFE personal defense book, as host, with top trainers Michael Janich of Martial Blade Concepts fame and Rob Pincus, creator of Combat Focus Shooting, as regular co-hosts. Each show begins with a cinematically filmed scenario — a carjacking attempt, a home invasion, danger at an ATM — then takes the viewer step-by-step into dissecting that situation to clearly show better and safer ways of resolving the situation.
Available now, Michael Janich's newest training DVD
FOREVER ARMED: A Combative Guide To The Practical Use Of Improvised Weapons
“Stay Safe Media’s “Forever Armed” instructional DVD (featuring well regarded author, knife designer and instructor Michael Janich) is a great addition to any DVD library.
Not because of the improvised weapons themselves (sorry, there’s no secret tactical ice scraper techniques) but because Mike teaches the viewer how to see the weapon attributes in everyday items, consider their structural integrity with regard to impact and, importantly – how to incorporate improvised weapons into your training routine. His training drills alone are reason enough to buy the DVD. Stay Safe’s production values are excellent as is the organization of the material. Mike’s presentation is straightforward and the video angles and use of slow motion playback support his instruction well.”
