【内容介绍】
我想玩刀的朋友对片中这个胖汉一定不陌生了，他就是大名鼎鼎的“美国冷钢刀具公司”的老板Lynn C. Thompson。坊间一些卖家给Thompson冠以“洛杉矶警视局教官（LAPD）”的头衔，LAPD是有的，但Thompson是否教官不得而知。更让人哭笑不得的是这位刀具专家的名字都被改了。
本片英文名“Warrior's Edge”，是冷钢刀具公司樶经典的一部刀具教学片，同时也是刀具界樶权威的教学片之一。樶初冷钢公司于2002年春天推出它的VCD版本，一经面世便受到各界的欢迎，再加上DVD的普及，不久之后又推出了DVD版本（3碟）。
以下资料译自冷钢官方网站：
（Lynn C. Thompson）：很多人都知道，我不再沉迷于“如果你涉入刀具格斗之中，要做好受伤的准备”这句话。原因是这句话导致了很多高水平的刀具格斗家受伤，甚至死亡。在过去的十年中，我花费了大量的时间与我的训练伙伴进行全接触对练，以寻求一种刀具格斗方法能让人在自身不受伤害的情况下击败对手。在这一求索时期，我借鉴了很多武术流派的技术，包括西洋击剑、菲律宾武术、日本剑道以及西方拳击等等。我把这些技术都融入了我自己的格斗体系之中。
多年的努力让我樶终找到了一套刀具格斗的方法，它强调通过步法、节奏、时机、速度和战术打法的运用，达到避免近身肉搏保持与对方中远距离接触的状态。考虑到很多学员无法参加我们的培训，我把基础课程浓缩到三张DVD当中以便于你在家中自学。我保证，只要你忠实的按片中的内容跟同伴进行练习，很快你就可以掌握这些技术和能力，它们能让你在危机时刻用刀具保护你自己和你所爱的人的生命。——冷钢刀具公司总裁，Lynn C. Thompson。

As many of you know, I am not enamored with the oft repeated saying: "If you get in a knife fight, expect to be cut." The reason is that this saying condemns even the highly skilled knife fighter to be wounded, disfigured, disabled or even killed if ever forced to put his training with a blade to the test. This is why for the past ten years, I have spent an enormous amount of time in full contact sparring with my training partners to develop a knife fighting method that allows the properly trained fighter to vanquish his enemy with minimal risk of being cut or stabbed in the process. During this developmental period I have borrowed heavily from Western Fencing, and Filipino Martial Arts, including Lameco Escrima, Japanese Ken Jitsu, and Western Boxing as well. I have even added techniques and methods that are entirely my own.
The result of this effort is a knife fighting method which stresses the avoidance of close range in favor of long range techniques aided by footwork, rhythm, timing, speed and superior tactics and strategy. Recognizing that many of my customers can't attend our seminars on this subject, I have condensed our basic course onto 3 DVD's so you can now study, and train in the comfort and convenience of your own home. What's more, I guarantee that if you study them faithfully and practice diligently with a training partner you will gain the skill and ability necessary to give you a huge advantage if ever forced to defend your life or a loved one's with a fighting knife.
Volume 1,Introduction to Long Range Knife Fighting:
Subjects covered will be three ranges of knife fighting, and the types of knives you may encounter and demonstrations of their cutting and piercing power.

This tape teaches the clock concept, our basic on guard stance, common mistakes made in assuming the fighting stance, and footwork, including forward, backward, lateral, diagonal, and circular movement as well as the replacement step, lunge, flechè and leaping attack.
