[@charlescombs2522]

Do you have a video of what Bowie knife you recommend? Also what blade length do you recommend?

[@TREEHUGGAH1]

excellent thank you sir

[@martinvalencia798]

Is it like Thibaust Mystical Circle?

[@ruipedroamaral7473]

Have tou ever read a Brazilian novel called A Grande Arte (The Great Art), by Rubem Fonseca? I don't know If it was ever Translated to english. If It was, give It a try, you Will haver some fun. Nice vídeo, by the way. Thank tou Very much.

[@bharnden7759]

Yes, it is now in English.

Going for skeletal targets just to try to stop his rush seems like a wasted opportunity to me. Better to choose a crippling or lethal target e.g. eyes, throat, heart, armpit, subclavian, nose etc.

Says out of line but I'm thinking that this video is outta line

[@levifontaine8186]

While effective with a rapier or a sidesword... this seems unsafe with a knife as the length is far too short. Anything shorter than a cutlass demands a very different fencing style.

[@trentcostello4358]

How bout when the outlaw moves also with a bowie? My 3rd grade nephew fights his teddy bear also soooo cute lmao 🤣

[@Octopussyist]

This works fine when the adversary lunges with an equally long weapon. The idea is that you slip out of the line of attack and counterattack at the same time. Even if he tries multiple stabs he would have to change direction. So the idea is not to move too early. I was often successful with this move in sparring with various types of people. My main styles are Italian stiletto and simplified FMA. We normally use stiletto trainers of 40 to 45 cm length.

[@trentcostello4358]

Man I'm just hard headed I guess I know you train an are skilled but seriously a street smart person if you know you are gona have to fight....the first one counts close the distance lean forward an try punch out the back side of there head nothing but chin shots rite? Rite soooo if had knife in hand why Change anything you could not simply step aside I mean yea in Hollywood movies but.....no

[@trentcostello4358]

Just like a boxer jab there chin then let em have it with power hand

[@brianvannorman1465]

Don't hurt your training partner

[@philipverity113]

If you don’t wanna get hit by the train, get off the tracks.

[@redlee1126]

What if he's,Bob a she dont be sexist because you have a big knife

[@Krod50]

i suggest watching Martial Blade Concepts. The move you demonstrated leaves the inside of that attack arm vulnerable. all one would have to do is step further to the right and slash the inside of your arm. something to think about. good video interesting approach.

[@Octopussyist]

That is why you don't move too early. If the attacker has time to do what you are saying he also had time to just change direction and stab you directly. That is not the idea. The timing is that his and your first stab should be concluded simultaneously, just with the difference that yours was a hit. I advice also training distance and guard position right after.

[@Octopussyist]

This is great to show the moves and the principle. But you would force him to attack from a longer distance. Once somebody creeps up this close to you you are either soon in trouble or you launch a counterattack like a cut to his hand or forearm.

[@allengordon6929]

It's an evasive attack.

[@a661992]

He’s tripping over himself lol

[@bowieknifeconnection7177]

It seems you don't understand what you are seeing. This technique dates back to 16th century rapier.
