We’re getting ready to drop our next digital seminar, and this one is going to be special. Before the full course release, we’re hosting a FREE live online seminar with Jay Cooper of Reality Check called: Too Close For Comfort This seminar focuses on one of the most common and dangerous situations in self-defense — when someone gets inside your personal space and past your comfort zone. Jay will break down practical strategies, mindset, and techniques to help you: • Recognize and manage close-range confrontations • Respond confidently under pressure • Avoid getting trapped in compromised situations • Improve your self-defense awareness and options Whether you're a beginner or an experienced martial artist, this seminar will give you tools you can apply immediately. Jay brings real-world experience from years in policing and martial arts instruction, and his ability to make complex ideas simple, practical, and even fun to learn makes him one of our favorite people to train with. 📅 Free Live Seminar Saturday, February 21 11:00 AM Mountain Standard Time Live online for Budo Brothers Academy members. And for everyone who attends live, we’ll release a special promo code giving you a major discount on the full Too Close for Comfort follow-along training course when it launches.

We’ve been deep in the lab, re-engineering the traditional Japanese utility knife from the ground up. Meet the Kiridashi Razor. Without question, it’s the sharpest blade we’ve ever handled—razor sharp in the truest sense of the word. Last year, we travelled to Japan on a mission: find a blade-making partner capable of turning this vision into reality. What we found was a workshop with 115 years of blade-making mastery. Their specialty? Dual-layer steel construction—the same philosophy used in samurai swords. An ultra-hard inner core for edge retention, wrapped in a softer outer layer for durability and resilience. And just like a katana… we went FULL TANG. The Kiridashi Razor is designed to melt into the base of your palm. Subtle ribbing along the sides delivers a locked-in grip and incredible tactile feedback. We reserved the best of our Santos Rosewood collection for this project, and it shows—each handle features wild, natural grain patterns, making every single blade a true one-of-one piece of art. Hidden inside the handle are 8 high-grade rare-earth magnets, perfectly tuned to secure the cap in place. Slide it on, and you’ll hear it—that clean, satisfying click that feels like pure ASMR. After working on this concept for over 2 years, we are finally in production. Each one takes a long time for us to make, so we are still a few months away from launching. We cannot wait for the big day to arrive, but until then... Here’s your first sneak peek 👀

We had a BLAST! And we’re so impressed with everyone’s questions. Sifu Singh sure put on a clinic! Drop a comment here and let us know your thoughts 🙌
