Everytime I hear that chime beep alarm go off in the background its going to be a trigger now for a axe hand strike to the side of the head. Be talking at the store and I hear a Beep going off and instant axe hand will get fired off. "sorry about that kembativz training"

Thank you for another well detailed explanation. Your notes on 'dwell time' really add to its use.

Thank you, Sal 🙏🏻

It works well as a follow up to a hook punch. Or as a counter to someone ducking under your hook.

Great explanation of the proper technique to use. Thanks

Reminds me of my grandpa's advice. He was SOE trained. In my (very limited) experience chin jab is the best fight starter...and ender. But the best skill, not taught or talked often is movement - light on your feet, sidestepping etc. and timing. But that all comes with sparing (kumite) experience.

[@m.b.593]

Thank you so much for all your shared knowledge brother! Got any instructors you can recommend in Seattle? 🙏🏻

Unfortunately we don’t have any Kembativz Certified instructors there…😔

Look up Nancy Wake (the white mouse), she was a W.W.2. O.S.S. operative who had a documented kill of a nazi officer using an edge of hand strike targeted just below the Adams apple, she stated on her interview how they practiced that strike and did not think it would work until it was successfully used. The training method was to hit walls with the correct hand position fingers stretched out together and
the thumb flagged.
Edge of hand strikes have been ridiculed on movies and cartoons, which is ironic.

[@kembativzbrand9099]

She had trouble getting dates after that…

Tai chi uses these techniques too.

[@wehrewulf]

Pretty sure everyone from crackheads to angry Mexican wives use it too. I doubt temple monks meditated to receive the enlightenment of the honorable axe hand. It is a pretty simple gross motor explosion of will.
I have used the axe hand twice successfully- Once, as a mental course correction, on an ostrich that was attempting to take my peanuts, and once on a Hungarian hooker that failed to heed the "no teeth" warning.

John Kary was trained by Carl Cestari in WW2 combatives. The vids have been on youtube for a couple years now. In Carls original dvd series you see him deliver chop the same exact way. Carls other students do it the same way. Anyway John Kary sounds like a badass, I have his book. Peace and much respect Kelly.
