My brother i watched your last knife video like a week ago by accident and 3 days ago i got in an argument in a bar and the guy was coming for me with a broken bottle. I did the diagonal ones and he tought i knew what i was doing haha. You Kinda saved me bro.
Stop getting into fights at bars 😡
Dang he should really see this comment lol
Stop Bullshitting! This guy got me stabbed 3 times. I’m just joking LMAO! I love this channel and own every video. I’m glad you’re safe. Keep training.
Next time consider shutting your mouth, even if the guy cusses you out, and walking away. The best form of self defense is to walk away, even if you have to run.
@@alir.9894 I generally agree but a bully will be a bully. Often the only way to stop a bully is the hard way. Running won’t help anyone but the bully.
I dated a woman in Mexico 🇲🇽 City who was a Kali expert. Her movement was very strong and smooth. As deadly as she was lovely 😍 👌.
The day you stop training the basics is the day you failed your martial art. It's the practitioner that makes the art not the art that makes the practitioner. Thanks for the video man GOD Bless stay safe.
Yes, the basics are the base of the pyramid, without it we don't have anything
Can't beat revisiting those basics 👍 life savers when your back is against the wall. Thank you bud 👌
I like what he says I'm a small guy a black man Veit nam Veteran and you do have do what is best for you _!
Thank you. In general I would suggest keeping the movements smaller and the weapon always in front of your body. Large sweeping movements may lead to the opponent closing the distance and going for a take down. Respect.
Obviously there is a time for both. Large & small movements. I think he gets that though.
@@jasonklein5821 To be specific I believe that stick fighting movements were being used for the knife. Out of curiosity I'd like to know when you think that large movements with the knife are relevant ( except "keep away" or scare tactics ). I ask this because this goes contrary to my knife training , (Arnis) . Thank you .
In general you're right, but for beginners large movements are easier to see and learn. Also, in my considerable experience with knife sparring, larger movements help you close the gap when you're at long range or medium range. When you get in close, you use tighter angles.
@@OldBadger1 Dont really disagree with you. Was trained to keep it tight as well but a blade when facing untrained people, like being jumped by a bunch of drunks or something. Wider movements are "spacemakers". It follows what a sword is used for. Most of the time you wont face anyone that has any clue what to do in a fight. If they in turn are armed... spacemaking so you can hoof it is essential. Like my old close combat instructor said. Unless under the most dire of circumstance never engage in a knife fight.
Well. As i see it having trained with weapons for about 10 years now. What may look like a big sweeping motion is in reality when going at speed, with intention much tighter. But you have to move through each movement. It's not like hema where you establish a guard and leave and return to it. This makes even more sense when you engage the other hand and the feet. The practitioner is always moving. Always diverting the opponents pressure to either side making a takedown useless. And always engaging with either hand. Whether its to block control and divert with the off hand or to attack and divert with the weapon hand. There is never a second there you are leaving yourself open to an attack or allowing yourself to be taken down. That's at least when you do it right. The ability to move left or right and allow their momentum to drive them where you want them to go negates this. Nonetheless one should be well trained in grappling and using the knife in the clinch. Kali arnis is only 1 aspect of a well rounded fighter. But 99 times out of 100 the usage of kali arnis in a real scenario is quick and painful and leaves very little opportunity for one to get close and do a takedown. Remember, while they are tackling you it gives you a bunch of time to stab the shit out of them and kill them. And be not mistaken fighting with a knife is fighting to kill. There is no middle ground. Any smart person would not allow that kind of vulnerability while fighting someone who has a knife. It's not as big of an issue as you think. Side stepping when they lunge shouldn't be difficult. And personally i would hope they lunge in such a way. That way they can commit to an open tackle. All one would have to do is side step and strike the head. Then put the pressure on to take advantage of the opportunity. Very easy way to win the fight
My favorite of your lessons deals with the knife. I combine my Judo with my offhand, the first part of every throw is kozushi, off balance, so my offhand is pushing or pulling them in the direction (depending on their foot position) they are off balance...help them go that direction while using these knife techniques. When my partner isnt here, or when I want to practice inside, I like to go down the hallway and close these techniques up small inside doorways. Anyway, thanks so much Paulyou have helped this old Judoka with training and inspiration...and sometimes good dry humor, also !!
my instructor and i went to houston texas back in the early 1990s. we went to a kali seminar and i was very impress with the kali fighting style. from weapons to open hand it was an amazing system.
your tutorials are great. Just hope that only good people watch.
Developed a big preference for pikal with edge in, and just being more tip oriented. Makes things like heavier jackets and clothing less of a obstacle to penetrate. But you loose things like the traditional pass and slash gunting motions for counters. You gotta pass and stick, but coming from underneath and from the same direction as the passing hand is traveling, or else you risk stabbing / bringing their slash down into yourself
Very well said; very good points. What you said at the end could revolutionize the way we train learn and define the future of martial arts especially our teachers. Oh! Yeah "don't drop that knife".
Great job on the tactics, strategy, and mindset. I've been a longtime practitioner of the Philippine Martial Arts, namely Eskrima, and I approve this message. I wouldn't want to be Bob. ;-)
Righteous!!! I learned kali sticks and machete as a kid but never the knife! Thanks for the intro
Excellent video... a complete seminar in under 20 mins. Subscribed
I was searching for some basic movents to get started. Thanks for sharing it.
Now THIS is a good instructional! No nonsense, just straight to the point! A question from a newb: Why do Escrima practictioners occassionally slap their knife arm with their non-dominant arm during a motion? Is it to help stop the trajectory of the arm when it is swinging in towards the body?
thanks for your advice and nice to see you again 👍
Paul great introduction of the knife fighting basics I appreciate all the Kali videos you put out keep them coming and thanks for your dedication to the Art Awesome stuff Brother.
Love the video, been training with a Buck 119 and it approved my form. Thanks bro
Appreciate your dedication and commitment!
This is gold Professor 🔪
Oooooh I'm lucky to have this vid after I woke up💙
Been a while since I did any Kali, great video
I love learning kali It has no end There is always something to learn Thanks Paul BIG THUMBS UP
👍🏻🙏🏻💪🏻
Dang, you are a good teacher. Thanks!
Great video man. Good work!
Watching this AGAIN...👍😊
Thank you very much for this video, I really wanted to learn this and this video is quite helpful
I worship you master😍
There are supposedly some benefits to slashing to the chest, anatomically speaking. For instance, if you are only trying to disable your opponent without killing them you could target specific connective tissue, muscles, and ligaments that are needed in order to work limbs. I believe there is connective tissue that runs between the pectoral muscle and shoulder that is needed in order to throw punches, thrust, cut, etc... Just make sure you go deep enough to sever the connection.
Coming from a body worker and A&P tutor…not likely to happen. Fascia and other connective tissues won’t be disrupted enough to prevent further attacks. Especially if you’re only using a knife (unlike sword/machete with weight and length) vs a clothed person. You would need to cut exceptionally deep to interrupt physiology. Mentally disrupt or deter, more likely.
Delts and pec minor will all still work and assist in use of arms, and the pec major is a broad muscle with many fibers. It depends on the cut: crosscut the fibers or along them…the body can take more punishment than i think you realize.
If you want to disable anatomy it will really have to be done at the insertion or origin of the muscle.
@@tyrusmfrechs7025 Like I said, “make sure you go deep enough.”
@@chillumvillain6801 use a serrated Cold Steel xl folder,they cut clothes extremly well. And cut twice as deep as a really razor shar edge. Just a tip.👍 Try out the newest model Spartan,in full flat serated edge,it will keeel.
That connective tissue runs to the armpit....Good chance you'd hit the Brachial Artery....!!!
YEAH....CUT like you're trying to reach the spine....!!!!
Very Good teaching…
Great video!
Great sir I miss good one but I promis Tomorow check and practice it again
I always come back to this
You are great,this is so realistic
🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing the information. Have a super day. Craig
Awesome. Subscribed!
thanks for these tutorial like it, very interesting n joyable.
This is what you'll see in kali practice that they forgot to mention is see his movement always when you strike same time defense this movement that an head hunters practice defense + offense equals kali movement .....thank you lakay
Fantastic instructions. Found useful explanation why air training for control n impact training on Bob. Appreciated ur emphasis that Kali will not automatically transform a person into a proficient practitioner, but the dedicated training. Kudos for this video.
2:01 noticed how it's literally the first 6 part of the 12 basic strikes. As someone who practiced Kali recently over online classes he he.
Thank you!! This helped me steal peoples money so much more efficiently
Awesome 👍
Cool I just learned a lot td❤
Thanks!
Excellent...
Excellent bro 👍
...beautifully done sir, thank you for sharing your skills and your knowledge with us, please be well
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Gonna get the knife fighter course
Thanks !!
Music at the end is awesome
Very nice knife technique
Very good tutorial. I will train this 👍
🙏🏻👍🏻
Loving the kali pigoda mate BTW. Wanna build one just like that haha 👍👍👍👍
I no bulshito when I see it and this ain't that. This is real good combat advice if you're not learning from this man and subscribing you're losing out.
Lovely words my man yes hopefully onemever habe to use it and stay in the pretend... we.pray god.
i am trying to incorporate your lessons into shortspear main bladed hook offhand.
thank you for this and all videos.
Very good!!! 👍🏻
me realizing the Cold Steel Espada is perfect for kali. Both the large and XL version
One of my best friends was at a party and he was defending one of our friends. And the aggressor stabbed my friend on his cheek bone and just missed his brain by a centimeter. He was in the ICU for weeks thank God he made it through!!!!
Nice video dude. Definitely worth getting good with trash knives, ones made for the job, pens even and things like office scissors.
Might well be the only thing you have to hand in self defence.
And the natural reaction to something coming at someone’s face or your own... like a knife... is to move your head and body or shoulder backwards, setting you up for the thrust. 👌 good commentary and easy to understand and I like the emphasis on PRACTICE. Practice practice practice. So many variables in real life.
Wow Kali looks pretty violent and aggressive. I like it. I'm hoping kali offers dual wielding practice combos to practice also. Let me know if dual wield.kali even exists. Love this video. Kali is going to be my ground zero techniques to rally focus and learn well. Much better
than Kung fu data in my opinion. Thanks for the videos.
Kali has dual wielding practice, in fact your supposed to dual wield kali sticks and it’s the most effective way do use kali in a fight
kali escrima Arnis has multiple weapons. We use sticks,swords,knifes, bare hands and I’ve heard some people using axes.
You can also learn to disarm people in Kali classes
I Will Watch all your video.... I like this kind of fight and knife too
👍🏻🙏🏻
I Hope to learn.... Keep in contact :) :)
I integrate knife fighting skills on my every day self-defense training.
👍🏻
I would really like to see a video from someone who has real world knife experience. I appreciate your video but it’s be more helpful to find out how well Kali works in a real situation.
Homie looks like he is a student of Kali Eskrima Arnis(Filipino Knife Fighting). He went right for the vital points with skilled accuracy.
You got good skill as a instructor
One thing i learn in my 12 years of PT whit thuon Leo
In the real knife fight guys dont go down that easy even whit multiple slash and stabs and may end up Killing you at the end the quickest way i found was multiple stab to the nutts aria kind of slow down the rage of a man
Keep that good stuff spread that amazing martial art style ;)
Awesome lesson. Thanks man
Mr. Arnis Sir !!! My name is David , I live in Oklahoma , Sir !!! I do favor the the KA- Bar blade's I have two of them one is the Necker Becker which is 3.25 in. And the other is a KA- Bar Marine fighting knife 7 in. My favorite position to carry is a horizontal small of back position , because this is an easier concealed carry position , faster in my opinion for quick accessibility ... And a very great survival carry tactic ... I train a lot with blade's and have always carried a blade ... However I have heard it said never take a blade to a gunfight that this would be a very bad idea ... For the bullet is faster than a blade and has more range ... However if the blade could be thrown , Or the person with the firearm is within close enough range I believe if you're fast enough with a blade it could be used to disable or disarm that person with the firearm ... I have never put myself in that situation , and hope I never am ... But after watching a few of you're videos ... Though I do have concealed carry permit for the State of Oklahoma... I was just wondering you're opinion on this matter if you care to comment ... Sir !!!
that movement is very easy in non moving unarmed target. Try to spar where your partner have a weapon too. Your movement will be closer to fencing than that. You can't get that close while the other is stabbing and slashing at the same time. We still need drill though.
Zauważyłem że coraz więcej jest na tych CZcams samozwańczych mistrzów od każdej dziedziny walki normalnie nic ino się uczyć od takich znafcow
Does capping in reverse grip also apply to knife which have a crossguard/crossguard-like element?
Valeu!
As a Marine and a Soldier from 1987-1998, with 1 Year and 4 Months in the Army National Guard ( ARNG) and US Army Reserve ( USAR) , I Myself can,and do learn from Civilians, like Paul , Who can teach this Prior Service USMC and US Army Veteran, the finer aspects of 🔪 Fighting , Martial Arts 🥋, and other Combat Skills ,to add to My Military Service, Training and Experience.
02:06 Reverse attack
Namaste 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 bro
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Damn. This jab to the eye is beyond nasty.😮
Jason Hanson says....spear the person in the eyes/face with several jabs... then run away.
👍👍👍👍👍
nice whats the difference between this and doce pares?
Okay bro so I'm brand new to your channel. I did Kendo for a number of years years ago. And I have practiced with a knife. And I've also told some of my soldiers any kind of conflict with a firearm usually is within close distance. And in this case myself I prefer a knife. The questions that come up when carrying a firearm are should I have a magazine and it and if I do should I chamber a round? Of course my response to this is all of the above. If you pull it you use it, if not it may be very well used on you. I've always believed the knife is quicker within close range, and I was wondering if you actually teach not to necessarily disarm but to hold a weapon and initiate a knife attack/defense? My learning so far has been basically against another right-handed opponent but what is the best in the same scenario with a left-handed shooter?
slapping your arm while you do it makes it SOUND better! ;-}. MM
Love this video. And I can’t wait to start training more! But I do have a couple of questions.
1. I don’t really have a dummy/bob like you do would it work the same to use a punching bag or should I just find one online to buy
2. Is there a move that would be used to temporarily disable the opponent. Or just paralyze them and not kill them?
1. Use whatever you already have available
2. Yes. Don’t go to lethal targets.
Thanks
Where can I buy one of those dummies?
I'm in 🇦🇺
I just watch a news where a guard got killed by a thief thrusting the guards stomach with a knife. It has a footage and damn the thief is hiding his knife then poof straight thrust to the guards stomach. The idea of not to slash the chest is really helpful.
Funny that ive seen so many people say AIKIDO for example does not work unless you're a 5th or 6th dan black belt. What they dont realize is so many martial arts have the same footwork or extremely close to it. That and people say that wont work because its whatever martial art but dont realize its the same thing with a different name.
All techniques work as long as they are applied at the correct range and timing with the proper amount of momentum.
Which knife was that you using ? Pls tell me
Nobody on this earth can play like Jason Bourne does😀
What is the philosophy behind swinging the knife to cut so much? It seems ineffective and risks opening up your knife arm to holds?
Can anyone recommend a knife fighting teacher in the Philippines?
7:30 is useful
What type of knife? Brand?
Во время съемок ,ни один нож не пострадал.
Quick question, Paul -- when you show your jab, you often end up slapping the underside of your arm. Is there a purpose for that part of the move?
Thanks for your work, and I'm enjoying your videos.
It’s the second chamber position for the double jab technique. I’ll be doing videos on this in the future.
Not Paul, but maybe I can answer with what I've figured out. I don't know about knives, but I do know why you would slap yourself when holding something heavier like a machete. While holding a weapon like that one, your hand is now heavier, and you use your other hand as an assist in order to better control the motion of something that heavy. If you striked, your now unnaturally heavier hand could easily outstretch itself or put itself into positions that is that are not normal for the hand to be in without the weapon. This could make you miss the timing of your strike or even damage your hand. The slapping of the other hand is basically there to arrest these motions and not have the weapon hand go beyond what it was designed for. I think the slapping could also be applied to the knife in the same way (even though the knife is not that heavy), to better control the strikes and shorten them if needed to make room for another attack. Hope this all makes sense.
I train in Kali and I always carry a Bowie or Bolo knife on my left hip and my Smith & Wesson 686 .357 and my right side when I'm on duty as a Cash In Transit Officer for Loomis Armored US. I had some idiot approach me at an ATM with a Michael Myers mask on halloween day and when both weapons came out the sorry bastard went running with a water trail!!(I was doing the harries flashlight gun position but with my 6" blade Bolo in the reverse grip instead of the flashlight)
After seeing this video it reminded me of college when some idiot pulled switchblade on me.
I pretty much with two moves and a statement ended that fight with my Swiss army knife with a saw blade out one side and a spear blade out on the other.
Funny how he backed down, any training in kali with a weapon like that 😆 no locking blades what so ever.
what about jab to the chest
When practicing I noticed that I keep my left hand ( non dominant) on the bicep of my arm, is that wrong or something that is normal. I'm just starting and I dont have any classes or prior training so.
Your non dominant hand is important. I would suggest keeping it up ,to the side of your face , ready to block or strike.
@@OldBadger1 thank you
Left hand up, ready to do checks
🤙👍👍
Are there any knives in particular you would recommend for Self Defense?
Sharp ones
@@richardcampbell2206 :)
Ka-bar.
It does not matter. As long as your knife is sharp,has good weight,has an flip mechanic that you like and can get out fast and a nice pointed edge. Something your comfortable with.
Is there a way you could do a more talking tutorial verbly describing what you are doing, because there are a lot of visually impaired people, who would like to learn.
