I used to train some Karambit while practicing Kali for several years in the past and I can tell you it's a lot of fun to practice. It can seamlessly be integrated into empty hand fighting and used with very smooth movements. The more you practice, the more options you find of how to use it in various situations. Even a blunt Karambit with no actual edge can be a really effective weapon if you use it as an impact weapon as well as a tool for controlling.

As a filipino martial art instructor myself and i have attended some seminars by tuhon doug. The curvature of karambit is usually used against vital areas that are normally not visible. Such as the armpit. The curvature is perfectly shaped to slide along the rib caged area and the neck especially against every joints.

[@EJBen007]

The biggest philosophy when I practiced kali was that a weapon is an extension of the hands/arms. And so we trained with weapons in the first half and empty hands the second, using the same motions as the previous half. So stick fighting and hand to hand combat essentially follow the same movements.

[@ctakitimu]

A good instructor is amazing. Back when I was doing martial arts in the 90's, I had the pleasure to get 'demo'ed' on by one of our highest teachers in the country. He was going to show the class a take down at full speed before breaking it down to teach it. He told me to punch him in the face with my right fist and to go as hard and fast as I could. I asked him if he was sure he wanted that (having trained myself for a number of years at this point). He smiled and said yes, so I quickly attacked with my punch! Ha! Suddenly I was some distance away on the ground. My poor brain was confused. How did that happen? What happened? A good teacher is so much fun!

What makes it so great in hand to hand combat is that the curve makes it hard to predict, as well as it’s ability to be used to control your enemies.

[@Terminalsanity]

I wouldn't say the curve is what makes it hard to predict. What makes it hard to predict is that it can be effortless integrated into strait up hand to hand fighting techniques. What the curve ads is it hooks in which makes it much harder for an opponent to pull back a hand or limb without causing themselves further injury it add a layer of opponent control as you say.

[@nickh495]

@@Terminalsanity curved and odd angled blades have always famously been hard to predict. So much so that the experts experts that advised the prequel Star Wars movies helped them develop the light saber of Count Doku. The angle of his hilt was just barely off compared to normal sabers but when he would grip it right it would make the laser move in such a way that was hard for other Jedi to predict. Now this wasn’t made up for the movie. That is a real thing. Adding an angle to the hilt or blade that is considered abnormal can make people miss read the speed or direction of the blade.

[@mono2822]

Fun fact, here in Texas of the United States, it is actually legal to carry karambits now. In 2017 they made it legal to open carry blades longer than 5.5 inches. Meaning we can even carry swords if we wanted to.

yea. here in PA its legal to carry pretty much anything not automatic opening or spring assisted.

[@DjurrenArt]

I can now picture someone with a Zweihänder out in the open.

[@JarodMoonchild1975]

@P.K. Good for you, and the rest of the Texans. But I'm not even from Texas, or the US, even. And here in my stupid country, we have to deal with those pesky laws on how long is your blade/can it fold up, but the general rule is the actual blade can't be more than 4 inches, for it to be legal, open carry, and also not a fixed blade. So folders or pocket knives, are basically allowed, as long as they're not too large in size, or spring assisted, or a switchblade/stiletto type knife. But if I have my fishing knife strapped on me because I'm going/coming from fishing, or I need it for another reason, I could technically get in trouble. But it depends on a few things, I guess. First off who the would-be police officer would be, and secondly how much/how toughly this law is enforced in general, and lastly the style and knife's size. Because if you go out with a Rambo knife of 10 inches, basically a short sword, and a fixed blade to boot, that would be totally illegal. But on the other hand, if you had let's say a trench knife, but the actual blade itself was within legal parameters, the knife would still be illegal, because trench knives come with a guard/knuckle duster. And even knuckle dusters are illegal here. But they can legally be sold, if you call it a paperweight, but the shop would gain attention from the law, especially if they sold a lot of knuckle dusters, and not just once in a blue moon. That the knuckle duster sales, was a big part of the total sales income, and not just a marginal fraction of it, so to speak. But honestly, I normally just do what I need to do, and I'm usually open about it. But I have also carried concealed, and although the blade was legal, the act of concealing a potential weapon, is not. And if you ask me, these kinds of laws are ridiculous. Because I'm not carrying a knife to just randomly attack someone, or out of anger. I'm either carrying it for practical uses, like fishing for example, or at worst, for self defense, not attack, robbery, or anything like it. But I understand that if I say it's for fishing or self defense, then the criminal could say the same thing, but it would be two very different situations, because of who the two people are, and how different they are from eachother. But I guess in the eyes of the law, you're equal, at least when you're in violation of it. So I get that it's tricky to legislate the use and carry of potential weapons, but considering the police and criminals have guns, why can't I be allowed to carry a knife, even if it's a fixed blade, and bigger than a measly 4 inches blade? It doesn't make sense to me, and is another reason why my nick is BeatNoLogic, because the world, its people, and its laws, just isn't logical anymore. And common sense, has become a superpower in this day and age. But that's my two cents, anyway, and should not be taken as instructions, it's just an opinion, my opinion, to be specific. Peace out, everyone. Love from Beat.

Karambit is a traditional weapon that comes from the Minangkabau tribe located in west Sumatra, Indonesia. The origin of karambit was inspired by tiger nails, because in Sumatra there were many wild tigers at that time. And Sumatra is the place where the creation of the martial art "Pencak Silat". Initially karambit was only used to cut grass and plants, but by teachers from martial arts college, it began to be used as a weapon against the invaders.

The karambit is designed to mimic a tiger claw. It originated in Silat in Indonesia, but it migrated to FMAs and even to other arts like Systema. The karambit is very good at close quarter combat.

Karambit is a tool to cut rice grass to harvest rice. But then the tribal wars improvised the design. They curved it more to imitate the tiger claw. This served 2 purposes. Fighting and agriculture.

[@airtylerb]

The inward curve in the knife has a practical use in fighting, the curve is similar to the talons of a hawk or eagle. It slices flesh extremely easily and is best used for slashing attacks. The main disadvantage of a blade that curves inward is if you cut in deep and try to slice your opponent up, it can hook and grab onto bones, like the ribs, and your knife can get stuck, putting you in a compromised position. In contrast a straight blade or a katana, that has a slight outward curve, will hit the bone and slide off, but it doesn’t cut quite as well as the inward curved blade.

For the martial arts portion the Karambit blade is curved to do more damage as it hooks in and tears apart everything inside. Some are so strong it’ll cut all the way through bone. The blade is also supposedly supposed to mimic a panther claws. Some are double edged, hence the purpose for the ring, as you can flick the blade out to slash someone while retaining grip on it. The main feature as Doug said before, is to hook and destroy.

[@wesleydaub8002]

I did Karate for eight years and Kali knife work later and as weird as it sounds the movements within Karate help with handgun shooting far more so than with edged weapons training. Take a chambered punch but have your fist and first two knuckles pointed upwards instead of horizontal. Now draw your firearm out of its holster and punch your handgun out just as if you were throwing a chambered punch while holding out your arm as if it were an iron bar and imagine someone trying to knock down your punching arm. Stare straight down the sights and align them with your target. hold your punch out at full immovable strength and and control your breath until you have fired all of your shots.

[@archangel9727]

It makes perfect sense. Karate is a straight attack type (though it does have techniques that rely on circles like ALL martial arts) it's perfectly reasonable that it would help with shooting. Add in the not one step back mentality and you have recoil management.

Karambits remind me a lot of a velociraptor's claw or something. I have one myself and i would've never thought of using it for all the different holds doug uses with them. I gotta watch more of his stuff so i can learn what to do if i ever need to use it which is hopefully never.

Quite a few farm tools were also used as weapons in the past. Axes, scythes, sickles, pitchforks, mattocks, shovels, and hammers we're all used as weapons in times of war.

Karambit translates roughly to "a curved finger". It's mainly used to hook things. It's also a motion used to get someone's attention from afar to tell him to come near, or if he's close tap him on the shoulder.

I'm trained in wing chun and Brazilian jui jitsu and the karambit is a very effective weapon with a good rounded open handed system.

[@ryliei3201]

no matter how many times I watch this, I always give respect to dummy guy blade point still is painful even if it is dull

The reason why we Filipinos use farming tools on most martial arts is because we were colonized by Spain for 300 years so they are afraid of rebellion or insurrection that weapons creation are banned. The itak or it's variants are a common household blade for all purpose usage. This is similar to most ninja weapons that were refined farming weapons like kusari and kama , bo and yari. Arnis de Mano is mainly a dance to be used as a preparation for the rebellion. Sangot is a sickle similar to a kama but used to harvest rice, coconut sap moonshine or tuba/lambanog and other things. To the south in the Mindanao islands they use Kris and punyal. Do keep in mind most of this skills have to be practiced away from Spanish eyes. And some parts of Mindanao was never truly got colonized by the Spanish, Americans and japanese during WW2. They got shredded by the natives using guerilla warfare , unconventional traps and sheer human wave close combats. Like the juramentados our local berserkers of the south. The kampilan and barong (not to be confused with the shirt) are heavy bladed types of machete similar to itak but requires more raw power. Cuts humans in half with enough force without the elegance of the scimitar or katana but similar to bastard swords. This was personally witnessed by my father when he was still in the army during the 60s insurgency in Jolo sulu burning. The colt 45 was Sherman's solution to a weapon that needed high kicking power to counter the juramentados. Leather necks are a solution in puting a leather protective gear in your neck to avoid a quick and fatal death from this martial arts.

It's curved to resemble a talon. It is meant to make large slashes. When you cut in and move, the knife enters deeper and as you pull out the blade the tip rips out. Look up the injuries from a karambit and you'll see what I mean.

I enjoy your videos Shin you get my sub today!

[@sherylpachecogeluz438]

In our province it was called karit we use it in harvesting rice. The shape is similar but the blade is just in one side.

[@FireMuscle11]

Doug is the student of Leo Gaje, who is a kali teacher of Dan Inosanto, who is a student of the late Bruce Lee. 🐉 If Dan Inosanto is a student of that martial art, it must be worthwhile. 😃🇵🇭

[@bravealpha0636]

Nope he is not a student of Bruce Lee.. hence a sparring partner and a friend, they share both of their martial arts practice.. Sir Dan introduced Bruce Lee to Kali...as well as the use of nunchucku I guess...😏

[@SunnyC.D.A221]

I'd like to imaging everytime he demonstrates a bladedweapon during his lessons he would end it with ”It will Kill” like how he says it in Forged in Fire

[@aurinsaint9058]

Our company bought a lot of knives similar to that to use for pruning christmas trees.

[@da.reverend]

I love Doug Marcaida's work.

[@tugtugpakpak8008]

i thought he was the guy who says your knife will definitely kill

[@guitarandknivesetc4219]

Its the same art that we filipino used against japanese soldiers way back in world war II. Mainly used in the guerilla warfare as we do not have firepower then.karambit is mostly used in muslim community but was adapted by arnis practitioner nowadays.

[@derekwallace1955]

Great video! But I couldn't get enough of your accent. I got the since you learned English from a new Zealander or Australian. It was super interesting to me just hearing you talk.

[@psychejallaguardiaecalne8847]

Besides it is used for harvesting, the structure of the weapon is for comfortability of the hands unlike blades had a straight handle, karambit favors more comfort because when u are fighting the more u are fatigue the less u can grip unlike karambits they are designed for grip and comfortability and has an intimidating blade

[@zinknot]

The curve causes it to cut into you like a cats claw. Also made to be used in a reverse grip it's very difficult to disarm.

[@tradengaming2023]

I best know this guy as the "Your knife will kill" judge from ForgedinFire

[@issabelisalvo4224]

its origin is silat from indonesia

[@kennethgeollegue8820]

The most famous brand of folder karambits must be Fox Karambits, as for fixed blade ones, there are a lot, but "Bastinelli" makes "handy" karambits which are very efficient because it's very easy to conceal, I recommend the Bastinelli "pika" karambit. If it's closed(folder karambits)you can hold it in your palm and index finger(like a knuckle duster) and box with it. It's more dangerous to the opponent if he tries to take it away from you(if you're an expert using the Karambit). Works well with "wrist" movements in capturing techniques. If you know a little jujitsu it will serve you well in close quarter combat as well.

[@wepntech]

The origins of the karambit are tiger claws, simple stick with tiny curved blade for shucking rice plants, over time the modern ones with a ring became a thing.
