Knife crime is a serious issue and is currently on the rise. My hope, with this blog, is to bring attention to facts that may be being over looked or under reported and hopefully more of you are kept safer and realise that there are some simple steps to increase awareness and have the ability to stay away from any conflict involving a knife.

Bruce Lee – A Life Lesson
Everyone goes through life on their own path. Some try to follow the ways of others of course, and that’s fine as long as its correct for that person. Finding inspiration from great people will always help at some point. Bruce Lee was a great man with so much to learn from.

One mind, Any weapon.
So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
