The most common form of attacking when using
short blades, such as daggers and other small edged
weapons, is the stabbing maneuver. The intent of this
move is to bury the blade of the weapon into the flesh
of the target. This takes a great deal of skill since
you must close into close-quarter range in order to
do this. Those skilled in this art can easily use
their weapons to inflict deep trauma on their targets.
