[QUOTE="kriket1911, post: 1358055, member: 11586"] I Unfortunately that is outdated information. As new research by Michael janich (a leading edged weapons teacher and lifelong practitioner) and Chris Grosz (God rest his sole) have proven that fairbairnn's "timetable of death" was flawed. Their studies have shown that targeting the carotid artery will actually take a full minute to truly stop an attacker through blood loss. Wail according to fairbairn, a severed carotid would produce unconscious in 5 seconds and death in 12.
