@@Jaketheaxman ok I agree

@@dzpmk3472 that is helpful
Thats actually smart cus I'm also broke i had 17 pesos my sister took 3
LMAO
I shall stick with my trainer for now. good video thanks from England.
Beautiful Knife, I have always admired this knife. Appreciate your basics of use of this very effective blade.
Don't flip it.
Use it to tear flesh. But it's awful for stabbing.

Damien Rotter speaking facts
For real all that flipping bs is just more possibilities that you will lose the knife, especially in an all out street fight with another grown ass man
Exactly mate, don't flip it, it's not designed to be used like that. That guy's a dick! 👽
Slashes as shown above only work if your karambit is double edged, wich most of them are not. Also flipping in a real fight is a huge risk, not worth it.
that's correct. the Karambit was designed to somewhat mimic a tiger claw. I ain't seen any tigers that were able to flip their claw around or use to stab with. Plus, slashing is more effective that stabbing, because it is harder to defend against and causes a larger wound with much more blood loss
I'm assuming those techniques were for a double edged karambit?
Double edge or not sometimes you just hit them hard and fast ;)
@Wolfreign Valenford it sounds like criminals and thieves as you say were using it because it's effective. The supposed Noble warriors sound like they were dressed for show not for fighting. To show off while parading around as a full military group. That's a luxury not many of us have. If a Westerner carries this it's because it's effective for what we need it for, which is self defense. If I have to pull this out it's because me or my family's LIFE is in DANGER. The history is irrelevant. And if me or my family's life is in danger, a merciful death for my opponent is not a concern I have #sorrynotsorry
Wolfreign Valenford you sound like you are a tool.
@Wolfreign Valenford so for all of the warriors who are at war and have used this type of knife and killed someone with it is a worse person them those who uses another type of knife or a gun?
Yeah they are for the double edged karambit. I’m currently working with a practice one, however I did purchase a folding one from Tac-Force via Amazon. Good luck with yours, I’m thinking of buying a fixed double edged one, and I’ve always wanted a Kukri sword.
I pronounce it Karambit.
Koanta Mu
kua
Woah
Lol I always pronounce it with Japanese phonics, which I know are wrong but just make sense when I see that -Ka-Ra-M-Bit or something like that.
Koanta Mukua same

Practicing with the sheath adds extra weight so when you just flip the blade it's lighter and more controlled.
You can also wear Kevlar cut resistant gloves and sleeves for added protection
@@mattnobrega6621 thanks for the idea . Question though ??? How thick are kevlar cut resistant gloves ??? Would it hinder motion or make momentum difficult?
I love karambits! But I don't have one... yet, lol.
I no that feel bro...
Don’t flip this knife! In a practical fight, it’s just another chance you’ll lose the knife. Keep it in your hand firmly
No one is saying ng to flip it in a fight 💀 it's just for show
If you slowly make a habit of it, you won't lose this weapon. This technique can be used like a jab, because it can change the effective distance slightly.
or use a handgun
Doesn't this feel like the karate in napoleon dynamite.
Thank you, this was so helpful
I'm 72 and will practice these initial moves until I feel confident enough if I'm attacked. The odds are nobody is going to expect an old dude to slice and dice. I realize the FIRST strike is the MOST important, then you can "go to work" Served in our Military for 33 years as a Medic and carried a 45. Am also a staunch supporter of OUR Second Amendment, which keeps the government from shutting down the rest even though they did a pretty good job on the First with then "faint of heart". When we switched over to the 9mm, I put in a request to keep my 45. It was approved. Really like how you go to the extension and back. Have a live one but will buy the trainer before I commit Hara-'kiti
Well done man, how's your training going?
It was surprisingly easy to learn, thanks dude!
Thank you brother for teaching I'm learning the karambit
Thank you Sir. Your video was very informative. I just bought my first karambit blade yesterday and I'm loving this thing already. Lol. Thanks again and have a great day ✌🏻
I'm working these techniques. Selamat! Thanks bro. I'll train hard.
I got an OTF karambit a while back and it's been tough to find a video that wasn't just about flipping. Definitely going to practice with the techniques you showed, thanks for the video!
I didn’t know they had OTF karambits. That one’s going on my odd knife list
just got my microtech karambit auto knife .. this video right away showed me how i can use it & prevent a trip to the hospital - THANK YOU!
Mabuhay! Excellent demo!
I love the karambit. My little sneak attack lol. More more more. I like the flipping. Got to master that one.
Mike
Thank you so much this is helpful
I just use my karambit with the sheathe on to train
Very smart as do I also it makes the blade heavier so when you just flip the blade it's like nothing
Nice! Keep them coming.
Really loving your stuff. I’ve been Interested In Filipino martial arts latley but because of covid I can’t join a gym to train. I’ve got a question. As you get more comfortable with these basic strikes and switching to extended grip. Would it be beneficial to add a punch or palm strike with your empty hand when you switch from extended grip back to the standard grip? To keep them distracted while you are more vulnerable switching grips. It’s a principle we used in Krav Maga quite a bit when I trained it to always add distraction strikes if your technique puts you in a more vulnerable position.
Awesome video. Love that drill. Simple but useful. I actually have a karambit that I made I use for drills like this. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Benjamin! Send a pic of that Karambit to my Kali Center Facebook page some time or Snap Chat...
Don't use this guy's techniques with your blade in a real fight for your life, you'll get your ass killed and would be better off unarmed because if you're close enough to wildly swing that blade to cut someone, you're also close enough for them to punch you in the face. Those grips weren't stable either, so say you did recreate that series of cuts flawlessly, the force of impact from your blade making contact might just be enough to lose your grip on it and drop it. Learn a bit of hand to hand combat with your fists first, pick up a few grappling techniques from jujitsu or wrestling, and MAYBE bolster what you learned with a karambit blade if your life is well and truly in danger. Though you're likely better off without it.
*only for practicing* if you guys want to know a safer substitution for a karambit it is one of those bottle openers but they are used for beer bottles etc. it has i hole at the end and if the metal hits it wont hurt maybe just a pinch.
Thanks Sir! your video is so easy to learn Can I take online learning from you.
That was really helpful
Great video, I have one of these, I need to practice
🙏🏼👍🏼
Very interesting!
Massalong Eagle Claw. Just got it today!!
Luv the sound track...mind sharing the title?!?
Awesome!
I have two karambits. One is sharp and the other is a metal trainer. I love them both. 😁👍
Finally karambit video! Thanks for that! :D But just a detail,many of these knives(that u can buy)dont have double egded blade...So u cant perform many of this moves..
A dull thin piece of metal is still going to do damage when struck with force.
Actually its easy to buy at asia (Malay and Indo). Its All over the country.
Ive been using a butterfly knife for a little while now and im wondering if the skill will transfer over
Deadly knife
Awesome
How does the back slash effectivly use the cutting edge? Or are both sides of the blade sharpened?
im about to buy a double bladed big karambit soon.. (just dont ask why) just here to get some tips and tricks to use in emergancy situations
So, is the signet ring for the delica to make it into a karambit?
Thanks for the video. There's some good real world applications for the Karambit knife, like being on a tac vest for police and military. I love the fact that it can trap people's arms and also the take downs you can do with it. It's fun and practical for self defense.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the vid! :)
Also parry and can even help divert other weapons strikes like pipes for example
Badass!

Kali made me wanna go train with karambit gonna make one from wood for training 👍👍👍
Post a pic of your Karambit trainer you made on Instagram when you're done with it and Tag @KaliCenter! I'd love to see it when it's finished
Fact: The trainer has never used it in real life fight situation😁
that's for sure
Where can i buy a double edged karambit?
I have a Kukrhi knife... From Nepal(hope you might know it cause you are a martial artist )..,. can you do on a video on that if you have it.. please reply I am a new subber..... Thanks
What you think Shasta McNasty by Schrade that's my EDC right now also what is your thoughts on double edged Karambit
Double-edged Karambits give you twice the possibilities in terms of strikes, but you have to watch out cause they're illegal lots of places. That aside, they're great. I personally haven't ever held a Shasta, but from what I understand, they're pretty massive knives. Probs wouldn't wanna be flipping that around
Where can i get that double edged karambit
Is that only for double sided karambits?
what do i do if my karambit finger hole is too small?
I got myself a rainbow karambit. I thought the ring was on the wrong side, now I see it’s right. 😅 I might invest in a training karambit, playing around with my live one already ended up catching myself a few times.
I love the lapu lapu shirt
Bought a fox-599 and did the flip and when I flipped it back I punctured my forearm 1/4” deep. Couldn’t stop bleeding and had to use dermabond. Fox 599 is a real razor Sharp karambit
Where can I buy that Karambit knife?
Which Karambit is this that you're using? There are so few on the market that fall into the size that I like... most are way larger than I want. This one looks like a great size. Thanks!
This one is an old trainer I've had for a long time.
how much is it on steam market?
what karambit model is that?
Where do I buy your same knife?
What's up do you know that that also called the Karambit a hawkbill knife from some people
Where do you even get these? I am not sure they are allowed to be imported into my country as it is very strict. I am here after watching the Raid movies. Also I think the Indonesian Special Forces uses these?
I've been in a knife fight, I pray I won't find in another one in my life. But I learned a valuable lesson. Don't, ABSOLUTELY, do, what this guy just did. Forget those 6 minutes of your life.
Lovely Karambit Paul.
It's a lot of fun! :)
You only showed the reverse grip what about the standard grip were your pinky is though the ring
Yeah i just bought a karambit and i didn't move my wrist out of the way and i slit my forarm open
How about multiple assailants?
can u send me this karambit pls i was traning kali arnis escrima
Is a 3D printed one ok
cool
3d printed one. Painted it like a csgo one. Took it to airsoft and flipped it around. Really cool thank you!!
Instead of using a training karambit, you can just put the sheath on (just mare sure it stays on when you swing it).
What kind of Karambit is that ?
i un-screwed my scissors and used to kinda curved part to mimic a karambit. lol.
Can you recommend me some good quality karambit, I can purchase
Top Prado Blades is the best.
why doesn't he use it like a claw where it faces downward in front of you?
I am using this for h3vr
It happened to me and believe me when I tell you that if you don't know, use protection at the tip of the karambit 1:27
Quick question- are all parts of the karambit blade supposed to be bladed, or should it have a dull edge? Mine has a dull edge, but it’s also foldable, so I’m just unsure.
Some have double edged and some single.
Mine is also a single edge, foldable one. I hope he shows the best way to use that type as well
I train with the sheathe on
HOLY KARAMBIT
just observing..
i think when fliping back the kerambit it would be a bad idea to align it towards your face.
Jinggoy Paulino I agree, then again there's not an actual point in flipping the Karambit anyway.
I don't have a training one I just have the crazy sharp pointy one I bought without thinking and saw the store had mislabeled the price on one of the 2 for sale and it was less than half of what I should be. I asked to buy it and they immediately saw someone messed up but being good merchants they sold it for the incorrect price it was listed. Knew it had to sting. Now I have this silly dangerous thing and my other knife broke and its a shit area so I carry it in its sheath thingy under my shirt. The sheath is good so I have it handle down so I can get it fast if needed but it won't fall out on its own. Theres been a string of robberies where 1 or 2 unarmed ppl attack and beat up someone and rob them. Fuck that.
which Karambit are you holding?
Nishitosh K fox
Why are you wearing military fatigues?

The cool guys skin their cucumbers with Karambit knife!
Btw thnx for this,Jimmy will never see me coming
These things are gnarly and threatening as hell but they don’t just look scary they are devastating.
Cool shirt, where can I get one?
Thanks! They're available at www.kalicenter.com/
Half of the proceeds get donated to Wounded Warriors.
Last year. I was shocked when my friend buy it for me and it is unexpected that he will bought that karambit for me, then its is live blade and im scared a little bit because when i flip my karambit it slashed my arm but the wound its look like dot( . ) ...... But now I can flip it continuously but sometimes i hit my arm. And i know that is part of a practicing but i need to be more careful on it......................
Joe Da FiddlerStickPH I wouldn't practice flipping as much if you really wanna know how to use the knife. If you wanna know how to use it for self defense it's best to train on someone with a practice knife, but know where to aim like the thighs, wrist, and throat. After getting the basics down you can work on takedowns which are especially fun
Cool😎😎😎
Santa is about to hit me in the chimney, home defenses are always a plus.
Hey, quick question. Is there’s any advantage on using Karambit than other knives like just regular pocket knives or fixed handle knives? I see Karambits almost everywhere, but I just ain’t sure why they use them.
Not really. In the end it comes down to whatever the individual wants to do/use.
Kali Center Oh, so it’s just personal preference. Thanks for replying. Like I said before, lots of my friends just carries them around in some sort (like boot knives or neck knives) and I just wasn’t sure if there was any advantage I didn’t knew about beside being easy to conceal.
@@justin764 the karambit can actually slice where other knives can't tbh and the Karambit is shaped like a claw now apply that claw shaped metal with basic knowledge of human anatomy and you got the deadliest knife on earth Google even confirms this
@@bluehornet197 That actually makes sense, I was thinking about buying one or not. Thanks.
@@bluehornet197 I dunno, all i see with that blade shape are many flaws, against something like a dagger, bowie, or a field knife. Have never handled one but have trained with blades for many years, mostly in HEMA and i cannot see any advantage with a blade like this. Some people prefer nunchucks others prefer a kali stick, but the kali stick has a huge advantage over nunchucks. I reckon the same goes with this style of knife. Just seems like a horribly flawed design.
I had a dream where I buy a 3 dollar Karambit it's dull but I sharpened it for like a few hours and then someone ask how do you used it and I use my own neck as the demonstrate and I cut my neck but thankfully I got tissue and a needle so I string and also it's a dream but when I wake up I immediately check my neck and there's no cut.
pls make a video with a target doll and hd slow motion camera focusing on karambit
👍🏼
0.03 Yeah, i know that you know i know what you got there 😂
720?
