[@antman3092]

Bro ur so good at explaining, u made me feel like a pro with this one trick. Keep up the amazing work!!!!!

[@AlvisChuiVisuals]

at least this dude got slow mo for the trick.. other tutorials be like : Here is an easy trick, ''did a triple spin double flip and double backflip twist kick''. Thats how u do it

[@ramontheranger7763]

Lmao yeah 🤣

[@aidan8465]

This is a very simple trick that even beginners can learn quickly but this dude taught the tricked very detailed to the point of showing the rotation of the wrist. That’s why I watch this KZbinr for tutorial.

[@franklinmontez8733]

Big Flips you should try a blade grab aerial. I’ve worked on it and got it a few times. Hold it in blade grab position and make it lay vertical to the ground. Then push your index down while swinging up and throw. Land in icepick grip.

[@macarelli2097]

I wish they don't send balisongs to California might have to hit up the BM42 clone

So the only difference between this and a wrist pass is a ricochet to start it, different orientation, and holding the other handle. Or am I missing something???

this is probably one of the most re-watched videos on KZbin lol.

[@ryujinjakka4518]

Matthew Piazza tbh, if you’re good at flipping them and doing tricks and someone walks up on you and tries to harm you there is a chance that you might scare them off.

[@susinsus2625]

They are not made for killing. They are mainly hobby and for cutting like with any other knife

[@sistemasdinamica5850]

Hello, I've been viewing your instructional videos... I'm trying to go through the recommended cycles anyway, In this video you demonstrated a figure eight wherein, the live end of the blade is "facing upward". You critiqued the figure eight and mentioned it was not as practical in use "maybe useful for cutting rope but, still cool". You teach tricks and I like them... I practice FMA (Filipino Martial Arts) and would use the blade objectively which would be stabbing and slashing generally in a combat situation however, there is also a non-lethal way to use the Balisong which would be defensively. Defensively, here's how, you would use the Balisong as a Dulu (Yawara, Stylus) take note of the blunt point when the Balisong is close and lock. In this position you would strike the opponent with the blunt point which would be non-lethal (defensive) the blade is deployed (quick draw) if, the fight becomes dire and self-preservation is the objective... The blunt end of the blade is used for trapping or immobilization which is, non-lethal. Anyway, "thumbs up on the figure eight" it is a practical use of the Balisong!

[@kadertater_2652]

Is it just a wrist pass but from the safe handle?

[@krissakornchantra4131]

Fun fact : it can both be cool and functional, if you start with the bite handle

[@حامدحامد-ب9ع]

That was the first trick I learned

[@Jclin7]

Love your content. Please keep it up

[@SmolAbyss99]

I always have the blade downwards for some reason but it works

[@ashermiddleton9458]

I have no idea what is going on, but I like it

[@dennhoATWORK]

Thank you for doing a slow motion breakdown on how to perform this beginner opener trick. There are so many inconsiderate people posting videos on "beginner opener methods" and they record their tutorials at FULL 60FPS SPEED. Guys. If you want to actually teach people how to flip, stop recording "tutorials" while you flip at full speed at a terrible camera angle. Some people need to lean some basic video editing skills. However the man demonstrating the Figure 8 didn't need slow motion video because he actually BROKE IT DOWN STEP BY STEP BY HAND. I can understand advanced tutorials might not need to be slowed down, because by that point you know how to handle your Bali song proficiently.

[@huimoskalam]

you explained it the most hardest way i can tell

[@Squirtlenuggetz]

Found it in the description

[@Squirtlenuggetz]

Aaaaaaaaand it’s 400$ this might have to wait a bit

[@Kababonkers]

@@Squirtlenuggetz why is it so expensive for a knife that you can flip 😭

[@deadjayv]

@@Kababonkersbecause the low quality ones break fast and the blade goes flying. making a knife that you constantly flip takes heavy duty. ive have a cheap chinese one for 3 years because instead of screws it just has bolts. my friend found a box that contained 9,000 dollars worth of balisongs thats why i got it lol
