[@dmitriciccarelli4082]

Thank you sir for preventing a lost art from dying. I respect your dedication and craft.

[@lawrencelou3545]

Learn Bowie knife fighting from the Americans.. its a weapon of historical significance for them..

[@SparklyGooch]

Yeah their live changed after buying them from the British

[@mariotremblay1419]

@@SparklyGooch yeah but after the british copy them from the early american one ! Cutelry of the first settler came from europe, but as time went on they modified them to suite their needs. hudson bay knive weremad3 first by trapper using modified chef knives from France or England, then as the model caught on it was manufactured and sold by different cutlery shop from the old countries. Same with the bowie !

[@Jameskenomis3]

@@SparklyGooch No, they copied Americans and then sold them to Americans and other countries.

Thank you for a great video going over some basics for those of us that want to have some idea of what to do to start improving our ability to use a knife in self defense. I like your philosophy on the subject as well as how you presented the information. I look forward to more videos from you.

[@jasonmowad2258]

Thank you sir , you can count on much more instructional content , & even a future live event ,gathering I am putting together for 2023 . A 1 day 8 hour Bowie knife fighting workshop - Thanks for watching Jason

[@southernknight9983]

Not bad and I learned a new way to carry larger blades, up to at least 7 inches and be able to sit comfortably. Until now, my best carry method for my Kobun and other boot knives is inverted on my hip, inside my belt with clip external, 7- 8 o'clock position. The Cold Steel Kobun has a 5.5 inch tanto blade. I simply draw down, instead of upwards and hardly have to move my hand to do so and can easily draw, unnoticed by others. You definitely get a thumbs up for me learning something new and effective(I practiced your draw with my Cold Steel Recon Tanto with 7 inch blade) draw technique. I like it. I like it a lot cause now I can conceal carry and draw out a larger blade, albeit noticed, but cause it's a fast draw, I am not too worried about drawing in an emergency. I also have a Cold Steel 1917 Bowie for when SHTF. Big freak'in Bowie! I'll just carry that one openly when the time comes. lol! I've learned much of my fighting techniques from Lynn Thompson's knife fighting videos, The Warrior's Edge series. Very good videos, I might add! Since then, I have taught and practiced my own techniques. Lynn can fight! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHrFloiPe79pp9k Godspeed!

[@jasonmowad2258]

Oh hey that’s great to hear and You’re 100% right about the down carry that you’re doing with the inverted know that also works with the body I have another KZbin channel it’s called Rogue Combatives and I got a bunch a Videos up on that all sorts of martial art all different things all things Martial , thanks for watching and a third KZbin channel I just started called American Bowie knife fighting I only have one video up on it right now but there will be more coming soon a lot of follow along training -thanks for watching Jason

[@anonymousbosch9265]

I’ve practiced HEMA dagger fighting in our club and I’ve always been interested in Get Tough and Defendu as well as “Divers foul tricks and stratagems: Mexican and Bowie knife fighting”

[@clongshanks5206]

Hey, I read Mexican and Bowie knife fighting a few months ago. Good read

[@VALINOR24]

Your videos are very instructive. Thank you sir.

[@JoseMora-wc5zz]

Thank you Sensei Mowad. I will not forget your teachings. (I just bought 2 Bowies)

[@jasonmowad2258]

Your welcome Jose ! Thanks for watching what I do . And $ couldn’t be spent better then on Bowie’s makes me happy to hear , a lot more Bowie stuff starting in spring - Jason

[@Rationalstart]

Really enjoyed. Would like more!

[@jasonmowad2258]

You will, sir I’m here enough for the spring in the spring all the way up until November is my season. I have a place and I’ll be trading outdoors and doing all the videos that way, so just hang on a few more weeks bro.- Jason yeah yeah

[@romanhardware]

I have a question. What kind of sharpener should I use for a bowie knife? To be specific a Cocobola Gold Rush Bowie knife from Bear & Son?

[@jasonmowad2258]

Hey bud I just got this , I'll definitely get back to u with a answer shortly prob within 24 hrs . - Thanks for watching Jason

[@valeriegogel4214]

What would you say is the minimum length for a Bowie. Also what is the best length of Bowie to fight w? I have one that's 12 inches over all w a 7 inch blade. I realize this is small for a Bowie but it's still a good sized knife. It's easy to carry and maneuver

[@jasonmowad2258]

Oh that’s definitely a excellent size when I see a minimum for a Bowie that’s just 9 inch minimum play it is what it is it’s not my standard as what I learned but you have to use her as functional for you as in 7 inches is more than adequate if you know what to do with it. I’m just being super technical that’s all lol.

[@MrWolf-le4nv]

Brother Im digging those forearm guards of yours. Those would come in handy as that's a primary target area. Where did you get those?

[@jasonmowad2258]

Hey man, I got them at but I think a Dick’s Sporting Goods. Yeah I’m pretty sure Go to any sports place I guess they were like football for our sleeves. you won’t regret them

[@MrWolf-le4nv]

@@jasonmowad2258 I love the bowie but I often carry a buck 119 which is technically a bowie but it doesn't look like one. it's a little small for what I call a booty I think the place is 6 inches or six inches and 7 in maybe

[@rubiconoutdoors3492]

Great fkn video 👍🏻💪🏻 Subscribed. I have a youtube channel and let me tell you its not easy making a video in one take, and you nailed it. I bought the Dbad War Bowie and the D'capitan companion (sort of a bowie) this week l, but its a 2 month wait on both. Cant wait to get out there and practice. I might break down and get the cold steel while I wait. Great content man 👍🏻

[@jasonmowad2258]

Hey that's great thanks for the message I definitely endorse the fact that you buy a sofa called steel or some other Bowie in the meantime and then Terim while you're waiting. I've been there at coastal marauder is great for the price or trailblazer or Laredo but yeah definitely buy yourself one in the meantime I'm glad to see the people getting out there and actually going through the motions. Thanks for your subscription and there will definitely be more content coming

1,2,3,4 is off

[@whiskybooze]

Well being that it was designed in 1830 I would say no it has not been on the battlefield before Christ.

[@jasonmowad2258]

I wasn't talking about the Bowie knife sprcifically I was talking about the knife itself the edged weapon concept was on the battlefield

[@jasonmowad2258]

Before guns

[@CarlosRodriguez-vn9nf]

Ka bar the Marines used was a Bowie so Bowie style blades have been used on the battlefield Christ!

[@BELLOTARU]

That knife looks like a short sword

[@mclyker]

I came to see Bowie techniques not get a lecture on gender equality. If you even have to bring it up you're contributing to the problem.

[@jasonmowad2258]

Please tell me a favor and don't watch watch some thing else. Don't get all your super perfect but we techniques and politically correct somewhere else because this is not the place for you soft man.

[@jasonmowad2258]

Try paid attention to the bowies more so much, then the rhetoric of men and women that's not really what the videos about

[@jasonmowad2258]

But if that's what your obsession is and how you are contributing to the problem, my friend

[@jasonmowad2258]

Please just take ur expert self to some other channel &!tell them ur unwanted sidelined opinion that means absolutely nothing, just like your KZbin channel oh wait prob do t have a channel & just do nothing but stand & criticize , wow what a human !
