Some work with a knife: Instead of focusing on the blade this time, work using the guard to hit arms around you or heads too close to yours. Use the butt to hit on the back of someone trying to force you down (all for example there are countless options) and instead of cutting or…

A two drill day: (Mostly taken from VV H2H with my take of it) First stand and have someone walk at you using regular speed. Move away when you feel he is close enough (the feeling will change with time as long as you don’t let anyone come too close) Move away using regular steps…
