What kind of Emerson karambit is he using? It appears to be an Emerson combat karambit, but it appears that he can open it without the thumb while still holding it in reverse grip. Does his version have a flipper on it?

[@zenviking6691]

I like that you incorporate running away into the technique. The need to run away is a reality that needs to be faced.

[@acaciabinervata6084]

Exactly, there could be a whole gang of opponents behind the lead attacker.

[@lincolnpascual]

I agree. The one man army concept is bullshit. I've trained in many different systems... they all fall apart the moment you introduce multiple attackers. Krav maga, jeet kune do, systema... they all have solutions for multiple attackers. The solution is the same: create distance between yourself and the group (usually by using one opponent as a shield), and get the fuck out. Live to fight another day right? Personally, if you have the means, I say go full Punisher on their asses. Spray and pray. Gun fu is very effective. (That last part was a joke. I'm not advocating for Punisher style tactics)

‘I just cut the hand off ‘ to disarm. Can you imagine getting into a fight with this unassuming man?!

[@tonywanders256]

No, I run 😵

[@KazehareRaiden]

You only would need to cut 1/3 of the way through the hand

[@projektxent]

First and last fight at least with 10 digits for sure. You will be nubbing life

[@acaciabinervata6084]

I like that he gives non-lethal options. You can tell he has actually had to use these techniques in real life unlike some of these other "instructors" who watch too many zombie movies.

[@soulfurik]

Exactly... when he says because i don't want to do this, showing a rear neck slicing... i bet you don't. Neitheir do i. His respect for violence shows his level. the most you know about chaos and violence, the less you are likely to want it anywhere near you.

[@doodleysquat2350]

a calm, confident, and soft spoken bad ass he is.

[@myfamilypicturesfor30plusy9]

He’s the only trainer I’ve seen who sparring partner replicates an attacker with two arms. Everyone else has a 1 arm attacker that’s slow. But this guy is legit

[@timwagner5477]

Why does this guy not have a KZbin or someone as a guest more often. Great teacher even with broken English. Very relaxing and makes it feel personal.

[@jaredgreathouse3672]

I like how he gets to the philosophy behind fighting and self defense. He repeatedly gives non lethal options. This is why he speaks of showing the knife if someone shows theirs first, using the blade only when the other person gets theirs and so on

[@aaalllen]

I've been reading a Tom Clancy book that described a Filipino master w/ a karambit and running away. This video shows the deadliness that was written about.

[@RC-so1mm]

Im also reading the same Tom Clancy book...'Point of Contact' is the book...now I know what a karambit knife looks like......rc

[@SteelSaint749]

This man has much respect for the blade. I see it in the way he teaches. Thank you for sharing this.

[@undead9999]

from the way he talks, you can tell this guy has been in his fair share of knifefights, and, being still on his feet, I can guess he knows his shit.

[@MrSoulReaper]

I learned way more about the karambit watching this video than I thought I'd learn lol

[@apocangelus]

are there other videos of this guy in particular? he's amazing

[@lukecarter8100]

Very interesting sir! Your teaching skills are very nice. You came across to me clearer than any other teacher on the Karambit. Thank you sensei.

[@bradcrane8364]

I love this guys demonstration and wisdom. It is hard to understand but totally worth smashing the like button and re-watching!!!

[@cjanquart]

Once you get past the fact that this is used to butcher another human being, the technique is extremely fluid and elegant. I had to chuckle when he preformed a combination that ended with a throat slash and said "You don't want to do this."

[@elbernballos]

More videos please on karambit from this teacher. You will sense his sincerity and respect for the blade.

[@unreal_taxi]

Anyone else find this really relaxing?

[@anhchan8974]

Michael Smith must be relaxing to use naturally.

[@whooyouu18]

Its his voice I think

[@707SonomaComa]

Yea, it's like watching the painting guy Bob Ross. I get sleepy.

[@unreal_taxi]

[@katienguyen6242]

Does he have more videos? This demo is awesome! Despite the thick accent, it's easy to follow along. I love the emphasis on just disarming your attack, then getting to safety. This is the true meaning of self defense.

[@goosecouple]

This guy is higher level.

[@nomadmikey1063]

Love his calm yet steady demonstration. Thought folding karambits seemed a bit clunky but using them as non lethal impact before having to cut someone makes so much sense for self defense! 👏🏽

[@Areschanke]

Best karambit video so far 👏

[@Raiderjalanan]

Viva Indondesia... Cause Kerambit is a small curved knife used by warriors in Minangkabau, West Sumatra. and spread throughout Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. Western countries call this knife karambit, while in Minangkabau it is called kurambiak/karambiak.

[@FightvisionNet]

Oh... Thx for the information!

Causing trauma with the intention of getting away in the end.......I like it!!

This is one of the best videos of karambit and use. And from the comments still no original creator has been found?

I am creator. Or do you mean trainer in the video?

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

damn, i just came here to find out the correct hand placement for work, not how to flay people...

[@707SonomaComa]

Who is this guy? Does he have more videos? They are great. At 6:50 into the video he makes a really good point on how to hold it.

[@mattnobrega6621]

I own a sharp and a dull metal training karambit. I love them both. I do t carry the sharp one in my town as it's illegal to carry but not to own. So I will sometimes carry the unsharpened karambit and use it for pressurepoint defense and deflection if I need to.

[@PaulybiGGballZ0820]

Something of an art to hand to hand combat.

Thank you.

That's interesting how he says he handle it with his finger deep inside the hole. IIRC most people recommend not to do it.

[@garyhouston113]

This guy is flat out dangerous

[@sluggishtermite6333]

gary houston I’m going to have to disagree with you on that. He gave multiple non lethal ways of dealing with an attacker and kept saying to run away when you get the chance. He doesn’t seem to want to harm anyone.

[@windsorkid7069]

With all due respect I don't agree with full index finger position. Thickness of fingers can affect maneuverable ability. His choice, and very nice moves.

[@lincolnpascual]

Windsor Kid that's fine. When you end up breaking your finger cause the blade encounters resistance and isn't deep and secure in your grip, you'll change your mind real fast. And yes, it happens... that's why it's mentioned.

[@johnnyovermind9830]

Which knife did he said that he carried and used the most?

[@goosecouple]

Emerson folder, Spyderco karahawk.
