It's interesting to notice that the kendoka was at first overwhelmed by the unorthodox style (certainly not the go-to in Krabi krabong), then adapted to it, and scored many points himself, then was overwhelmed again, when the opponent kept switching tactics, but could still score some points here and there. Confronting martial arts styles should be this, a mutual beneficial study

Style most definitely has it's place and this is clearly an excellent demonstration of what a style really can do. Now, style is one thing and the skill level of it's user is another. Again this is clearly a demonstration of what a style really can do; in the hands of an incredibly skilled practitioner. Considering the reverse grip is on full display in the hands of an incredibly talented practitioner, this was an incredible sight to see. Many sword styles have a reverse grip method. I realize now that the lack of proficiency in utilizing the reverse grip is due to it's stigma more so than the actual practical use of it. To top it off, the kendo user was no slouch by any measure. It merely came down to adapting to such a deceptively unorthodox approach in terms of defending against the reverse grip. I would have been absolutely slaughtered if I were in the kendo user's shoes.

It looks like there are several weapons used in this martial art. Two bladed weapons are used as well as a bladed weapon and its scabbard. So probably they can mix their offhand with anything from a club or scabbard to another sword. It's common practice in many martial arts to use varying weapons in the offhand of course
@NamMonn_2 жыл бұрын
In krabi krabong we always use a blade if we have two swords (same length) ,but if we have only one sword we just use the scabbard just for defense or parry (we don’t really mixed other weapons, most we do is use a shield, dual sword with different length in each weapons is very rare or never happen in krabi krabong)

From what I understand, this stance of krabi krabong is an offensive stance it's not strong in terms of counter attack so that we can see him getting hit. If you fight against long sword, I recommend you using double upward held and use hybrid stance. If got strike to upper body use the opposite hand to guard the strike then strike back. If got strike to lower body, use the hand that is the same side with the strike force to guard then strike back with the other hand.

It seems quite obvious from the fights that the reverse grips were not quite effective against thrust (see 0:49 and 1:53), and only works against slash. It's quite effective in delivering follow-up attack as the right hand blocks. It's quite weird how the reverse grip was sometimes held with the point forward (2:52) but then when the opponent attacked, he immediately withdrew the point and gave himself an opening for attacking.
@peterwang56602 жыл бұрын
