You need to get your bullshit radar looked at. You’re falling for a strip mall dojo, Tommy Chong looking dude with an Indian headband on. God I feel like I’m talking to my girlfriend when she’s telling me how insightful her psychic medium is.
In the 80s I remember a story on the Sturgis Motorcycle rally held every year. What stands out was knife fighting competition with a referee.Yup..with steel knives. When you draw blood you got the point.The knife tips were rounded,so only slashing techniques were used. One finalist was a big Indian over 6ft tall,long black hair. My jaw dropped when he took his shirt off before the fight,as his chest had maybe 100 old knife scars from what looked like a lifetime of knife fighting. I cant find any Internet info on it but it really happened.
Thank you from Oklahoma. That does sound like the bit of Navajo I've studied. My great great grandmother is Apache but I never got to meet her or know which tribe, and she refused a roll number. Also I'm a marine but no grunt. I will keep the magic pure, as all martial arts, like you said. I'll do good to do mobility exercises too. Thank you all so much and may God bless you.
good point. like the Crane kick in Karate Kid. It's not meant to be held stationary like in the movie which telegraphs intent. yet Johnny still walked into it. 😝
@@TheMylittletonysometimes you have to figure things out for yourself. There are many reasons why things won't get taught. As an interested student it is up to you to fill the gap.
Very good point @leifodinnson just like kata and sequences in South East Asian martial arts. It's to train the feeling and muscle memory on what is effective when found in a particular position.
Its not. In reality your opponent moves as fast as you do. You CANNOT do two moves while they remain stationary or only do one. Reality doesn't work like that. Watch full speed testing of this and it all falls apart pretty fast. That's why every culture invented longer weapons......to increase your odds of survival because in a close up knife fight they aren't good for either opponent.
Really enjoyed seeing this presentation of Apache knife fighting techniques. Thank you very much for posting and sharing. Would definitely like to go to a seminar in the future.

Hello from Finland! Me and my friend created sort of a knife fighting form of martial art (my backround is from military, karate, taekwondo, muay thai and shoot fighting. My friend had trained the taekwondo and judo). So 2014 we decided to train these basic techniques and after a while we realized that using these steel toe shoes gives you advantage if you know what you are doing. For example: Man with a knife V.S man with a knife = you must do combinations like approaching your opponent starting from unorthodox stance (knife in right hand) and kick at the opponents knifehand, move to right direction and 1-2-1-2 (left fist face, knife to the gut, left fist face, knife to the throat) etc. Offcource you use plastic-rubber dagger when you train with a partner but use a real one when you train on your own because it removes your focus if it aint real and you will end up with your own knife in your leg.... Yes - it's for self defense, but if that situation comes in front of you, there is no time to think about your opponents health if theres a three bad guys robbing you or something.
Believe it or not some Historians stated that Spanish Explorers ( Conquistadors) brought with them a contingent of conquered "Filipino Warriors" with them to the new lands ( ~1600s - 11700s Latin America & early North America) fought alongside the Spanish with their short swords, long swords and knives ( daga). Dan Inosanto's demonstration at the Smithsonian talks briefly about it. The Spanish used early muzzle loading rifles & armor. The Filipino warriors were ambidextrous & keen on hitting the major arteries. The native Indigenous Peoples were similar in warfare. Apache ( & many others ) were very skilfull with bladed weapons & firearms. The Apache were the last to surrender & submit to rez LiFe. My dad spent time in the rez in the 60s. Dine. The switch & hammer technique trains the left hand in combat This is a very good drill & demo👍
After that the Spanish were "removed" and the land retained again by the natives (including what happened in Mexico to the Aztecs regain of their land. Through the Spanish conquest they claimed upto what is now parts of California, Arizona, New Mexico Nevada and upto Colorado, etc...but it was a claim because the native Indigenous (Indians) tribes lived there Souix, Dine, Mescalero, Apache etc lived in those ateas) Then the pilgrims & the colonization & expanse westward. In the late 1700s to 1800s Some Historians stated some Filipino Warriors jumped ship ( Spanish Armada & trading ships ) & settled in what is now Louisiana ~ 1650s or early to mid 1700s. Much is lost to time & decades of conflicts & westward takeovers. The natives must've fought hard as seen in this Apache combat demo. If only there was a project collaboration of Indigenous Peoples & Historians to gather data & research history for a Documentary of these events....a Movie would be Great! I imagine it would enlighten us all of the past history of how the Americas were explored & conquered (taken ) & "taken again. How people on both sides (all sides involved ...the indigenous Natives against the Spanish & then (some...some welcomed & formed alliances with the whites ) against the white colonists (Washishi)& the Colonists against the then British oppressors......even the conquered Filipino warriors were wanting to break free from the Spanish) They were all fighting for their WAY of Freedom back then. Now we have some sense of unity.

Wonderful to see such honest and open sharing. Thank you for this generous video. Indeed the teacher should aspire for their students to surpass them, and not for lack of their own skills in the art but instead for their dedication to teaching their students while being the best example possible. Hats off to you sir.
I really appreciate this. As a person that is carrying a knife for defense. I don't believe I have ever seen this foot work , stepping back to move to the side & such . Not looking to learn the K as you put it . But the defensive technique to be able to protect my family if needed . Just moved to New Mexico noticed this might have been made in N.M.
Those 2 inch slashes are strikingly similar to ancient Slavic knife techniques, which evolved later into sabre fighting. Didn't expect to see something so common in Apache and ancient Slavs.
Very well demonstrated with good insights. 👍 Being a Ju-Jitsu practitioner (owned and operated a dojo in Miami) which came from the Samurai with obvious bladed weapons it was really interesting how much rudimentary knowledge and application of techniques are in common. You pointed out and emphasize Tai Sabaki (whole body movement or repositioning) and Ashi Sabaku (foot movment) along with other thing in common. Really enjoyed the video.👍🥋
Wow, 1st time I watch an Apache Indian teaching martial arts in social media. Great job. By the way I luv ur husky voice...I bet if u sing a song its gonna sound lovely❤😊
Beautiful choreography, Like a dance. Such style and grace. Thank you for demonstrating all of these techniques so slowly and carefully. I've watched quite a few videos of real knife fights on the street by people who really want to kill each other. I have never seen moves demonstrated like I have here. Perhaps the ones doing the real knife fighting should learn from your skills and technique. Perhaps a sparing match with safe knives and safety referees to keep everyone safe. I would very much like to see that on video. I think we would all learn so much. Thank you.
Súper interesante, ya en una ocasión aprendí un poco de esta técnica, pero aquí se expone mucho mejor el estilo, muy interesante ojalá y se pudiera contactar con el profesor para dominar bien las técnicas, pero gracias por compartir.
WOW! "Downward Wind" is what the Filipino's call a "Redonda" strike. Apache's knife is VERY similar to Arnis/ Eskrima. I'd go with eye protection before hand though. Great video and well done sir!
As a boxer myself with several years of experience, I would like to train this as something fun to train and to give me something other than boxing (which is all i know) to train with. I know i can get some plastic knives to train with a partner. Or practice a "spar" maybe with markers so we can see what landed without actual wounds.
seeing a lot of Filipino martial arts in this. I love seeing how different martial arts come to the same conclusions on things. also a lot of god stuff i can add to my own art. thank you for the video.
What is shown here is the non-committed techniques taught to civilians. We teach the committed techniques to the military and law enforcement. Come to a seminar and test it out for yourself!
The movements are very good, since all usable systems are the same, regardless of their geographical origin. People everywhere have two hands and two legs. The important thing is not only to copy the external form of the master's movements, but to be aware of why things happen that way. The intention that guides the movement is important!

8:11 this might seem like mcdojo advice but I've had so many near misses where I almost get impaled by something and have saved myself multiple times just by using my body weight in the opposite direction at the right moment.

@@robinprice7032 Nice. Tell him lol. I love Ka-Bars and especially the TDI knifes. They are so small you don't have much reach but they are absolute shredders with outstanding leverage and your not getting it out of someone's hand.

Very good i used to do samurai tradirional jujitsu, looks no unlike it. They also used a eeverse geip knife defence. One thing they sajd donrt get to close to man with knife of sword.
So KoRyu?? What “Samurai” art exactly. I learned how to fight with a katana but I have never learned how to be a samurai because that is not a fighting style it is a form of employment. You’re basically saying I learned knight sword fighting. That is not how historical martial arts are taught, they are either lineage styles or rediscovered styles neither have legitimate claims to being actually from the samurai. All of your fighting techniques in Japan tradition can only be traced back to after the samurai were actually dismantled. Anthony Cummings and other people who do try to revive the samurai culture along with the KoRyu or traditional sword techniques do so from manuals. There are no living samurai to confirm what is actually proper.
When was this filmed? I have done FMA and HEMA bladed arts, for 20 years. As well as Yanagi Ryu swordsmanship. So this was very interesting to me, thank you!
@@robinprice7032 Ah ok, was difficult to know just by looking looks like it could have been filmed any time in the past 20 years. He seems like he would be a lot of fun to trin with.
I'd add that it's also good to find/make something that replicates what you will be primarily using. Helps to ingrain distance and coverage should you ever be forced to use it in a stressful environment where gorilla-brain tends to set in and your fine motor skills can become compromised
I assume that practitioners are also taught the spiritual significance of each movement as well, I read Maori warriors in New Zeeland emphasis this s as well
There are only so many ways to move a knife. There are similarities in all knife systems. We have many FMA practitioners who have come to our seminars and continue to train with us. The difference is in the footwork and application.
Its an interesting question. Did native americans have a type of fighting boot camp they would put their warriors through? Was anything written down? Was knife fighting systems standardized ? Was the knife even their primary weapon ? I would think spear would be more important?
There was no written account of training as the natives did not have a written language. Training was started during childhood, starting with games and evolving into more concentrated training by the Elders and warriors. Everyone carried a knife as it was an everyday tool. The primary weapon was the warclub and bow and arrow. When the Europeans brought metal and firearms, everything changed. Unfortunately, If not for family traditions, most of the warrior arts have disappeared.
I took his " class " didn't realky take it to seriously because the emphasis was on walking forward or backward an NEVER crossing ur feet,...U always keep ur apponent in front of you,..however u need to!!,....u learn the basic cuts,..which are to numerous,..only 6 important cuts,..an was criticized because im Left handed an started my " cuts " from a Practical start point for a left hander!!,...I Learned far more in the Marines but that aggressive training wont fly in a civilian class,...really nice Dude,..expressing his culture, God bless em,..but u dont really learn any practical knife fighting application!!,..coasted thru it for my Girlfriend!,..
@@robinprice7032 Near the beginning he says to keep your hand close to your chest, but in practice has his whole hand reached out. He says it's for only self defense, that's impossible to predict in a knife fight, because of arteries. As he's "stepping away" he's presuming the attacker won't follow him, and he will. Knife fights are very short and quick, and you always expect to be cut in one. To say you can just move out the way doing small cuts is counter productive. The guy is trying to kill you, so all this "check" is rubbish. Yes it's true you never grab a guys arm or wrist who has the knife, but you want to do a kill shot, why give him chances and longing out a knife fight, you don't. The whole sand thing, what helps him partially covering his vision worrying about abit of sand when a guy is rushing you with a knife. My experience is your going to be cut in a knife fight, its whose wound is the deapest that then predicts a win, or in reality unlived. Both have no marks of being cut, that tells me neither have been in a knife fight. I'm not sitting with you, but many time i saw an opening he gave by putting his back to the aggressor, never do that in any fighting style. Also as your slashing someone your getting blood on your knife, that intern can make it very slippy. It's like these guys who say you can take a gun off someone before they shoot you, absalute bull. This is all fantasy, in the real world people don't stop to watch you side step.
@@robinprice7032 Yes i have 3 times, stabbed in my leg had my leather ripped to shreds, no doubt saved my life and other was in pub, had a couple of slash wounds, thankfully bouncers jumped in. I live in uk our knife crime is intense.
This is the first knife fighting style I've seen that looks practical.

That is not how historical martial arts are taught, they are either lineage styles or rediscovered styles neither have legitimate claims to being actually from the samurai. All of your fighting techniques in Japan tradition can only be traced back to after the samurai were actually dismantled. Anthony Cummings and other people who do try to revive the samurai culture along with the KoRyu or traditional sword techniques do so from manuals. There are no living samurai to confirm what is actually proper.

May the shaman always offer the Apache warrior the strength to live free, never otherwise...
Bahad Zubu very similar. The movements are the natural movements of the human body and positioning.
It's really just geometry

Thanks
When was this filmed? I have done FMA and HEMA bladed arts, for 20 years. As well as Yanagi Ryu swordsmanship. So this was very interesting to me, thank you!
We filmed this a couple of years ago.
@@robinprice7032 Ah ok, was difficult to know just by looking looks like it could have been filmed any time in the past 20 years. He seems like he would be a lot of fun to trin with.
god bless you sir
I like it.
Very interesting to watch this
"Robin don't you DARE forget your goddamn knife ever again!" 😭😅
all respect!!!!!!!!
So, this is all newly developed knife fighting, not old knowledge passed from warrior to warrior.
A big gut is definitely knife defense
Hello, quick question: How long are the training knives (overall length and length of cutting edge) or what might be a good practice stick length?
We normally use the Cold Steel Leatherneck trainer. But it's good to train with different lengths and designs.
I'd add that it's also good to find/make something that replicates what you will be primarily using.
Helps to ingrain distance and coverage should you ever be forced to use it in a stressful environment where gorilla-brain tends to set in and your fine motor skills can become compromised
I assume that practitioners are also taught the spiritual significance of each movement as well, I read Maori warriors in New Zeeland emphasis this s as well
Tkank you
Wow! Thank you
You teach the ghost, you’re not there😉
Cool.
Unfortunately, today one needs to be able to defend themselves with a knife or whatever else they are fighting with.
Looks alot like "Filipino" Kali knife work.
There are only so many ways to move a knife. There are similarities in all knife systems. We have many FMA practitioners who have come to our seminars and continue to train with us. The difference is in the footwork and application.
@@robinprice7032 IC
A lot of martial arts are connected in some way, shape, or form.
Which is the best grip or is it purely choice. ?
It all depends on the situation.
Foot work like boxing
Its an interesting question. Did native americans have a type of fighting boot camp they would put their warriors through? Was anything written down? Was knife fighting systems standardized ? Was the knife even their primary weapon ? I would think spear would be more important?
There was no written account of training as the natives did not have a written language. Training was started during childhood, starting with games and evolving into more concentrated training by the Elders and warriors. Everyone carried a knife as it was an everyday tool. The primary weapon was the warclub and bow and arrow. When the Europeans brought metal and firearms, everything changed. Unfortunately, If not for family traditions, most of the warrior arts have disappeared.
@@robinprice7032 was there any commonality of fighting styles within a tribe or did each band of warriors fight their own way?
@@raveneye12 Not a lot of info on that, but regional weapons and tactics are mentioned.
Yeh and I did and I was let down by Apachie Knife top instructor Robert Redfeather ....... EX BIG HEART DOG
How did he let you down?
What are the advantages of a Southpaw knife stance?
If I'm moving to the right, then my left hand is closer. It also throws people off if they are only used to fighting righties.

What did the Apache do before the white man showed up and introduced steel knives?
Used flint and obsidian knives. Deer antlers, etc.
@@robinprice7032obsidian is unbelievable sharp.

No disrespect against Apaches or any other American Indian, but this is pure Bull.
Why? If you are going to disparage someone's art, you should provide details on why, along with your experience and expertise.

Near the beginning he says to keep your hand close to your chest, but in practice has his whole hand reached out. He says it's for only self defense, that's impossible to predict in a knife fight, because of arteries. As he's "stepping away" he's presuming the attacker won't follow him, and he will. Knife fights are very short and quick, and you always expect to be cut in one. To say you can just move out the way doing small cuts is counter productive. The guy is trying to kill you, so all this "check" is rubbish. Yes it's true you never grab a guys arm or wrist who has the knife, but you want to do a kill shot, why give him chances and longing out a knife fight, you don't. The whole sand thing, what helps him partially covering his vision worrying about abit of sand when a guy is rushing you with a knife. My experience is your going to be cut in a knife fight, its whose wound is the deapest that then predicts a win, or in reality unlived. Both have no marks of being cut, that tells me neither have been in a knife fight. I'm not sitting with you, but many time i saw an opening he gave by putting his back to the aggressor, never do that in any fighting style. Also as your slashing someone your getting blood on your knife, that intern can make it very slippy. It's like these guys who say you can take a gun off someone before they shoot you, absalute bull. This is all fantasy, in the real world people don't stop to watch you side step.
@@digitaldogs233 Remember that this is going slow for demo purposes. Robert has been in many knife fights with live blades. Have you?
@@robinprice7032
Yes i have 3 times, stabbed in my leg had my leather ripped to shreds, no doubt saved my life and other was in pub, had a couple of slash wounds, thankfully bouncers jumped in. I live in uk our knife crime is intense.
