Thailand's most brutal 'Krabi Krabong'

#Muay Thai #มวยไทย #'กระบี่กระบอง

[@KurtAngle89]

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

[@NamMonn_]

I'm thrilled to see that Krabi Krabong has been chosen! I never imagined that you’ll make it. As a Thai subscriber & martial artist, Thank you so much!🙏

[@TWS555]

God speed you sir or ma'am. I'm not Thai but I realy like krabi krabong too as I have interesting in both weapon and unarmed combat ( combat is only complit when is complit "wwuc" ) saw I was have only one reaction when I see video to wach. "At last!!!!" XDDDD God bless you sir or ma'am.

Some of these reverse grip was used on the sword's sheathes, which can be served as a stun weapon if necessary.

What this channel teaches me is that of you want to beat good fighter, train not in only in what you are good at, but against techniques and styles you don't normally run into. Even MMA can have it's own version of dojo syndrome.

[@deathtrooper5759]

Interesting to see the reverse grip. With my very little experience using one handed swords, I can see it as being usefull mostly for blocking lower slashes with my off hand which would otherwise not be doing much if I used a single sword. Still very niche for myself but if it works then hey why not!

[@eastoforion]

so many interesting stances from the krabi!

[@burnsson]

interesting comparison. thank you.

[@protectoroflight5895]

One of the best fights. Отлично.

[@watermelonprom7197]

I really enjoyed the use of "reverse gripping" by the Krabikrabong practitioner by instead of using it as a offensive tool he uses it like a light shield of sorts this is the only good use of the reverse grip and it can actually be called viable as another option besides using a shield which isn't fun to carry around and all you have to do with this is use a Scabbard but using another sword isn't bad either especially when your up close and can get that extra cut in if needed overall great fight

[@LightPresident95148]

That's really interesting because i learned Krabi Krabong (thai swords ⚔️) in Muay Thai. But i don't understand the style in the video, our teacher always was a friend of "simple technique wins". So we normally repeated the basics on and on and there was not much room for some special style. But i don't care, i love that video very much

[@mailais3403]

I think the reverse grip here is just becuase it's cool and showy and less about praticality

[@deividoliveirafaria6541]

@@mailais3403 I do not like reverse grip as the main way to handle a blade. But in this case, as a secondary weapon, it seems to work a lot more than just look nice. Seems a lot effective as a support defensive weapon. When the most attacking power is on the main weapon with regular grip. One of the more interesting technics I saw on youtube so far...

Well, my feelings about icepick gripping a sword have officially been changed.

[@tumultoustortellini]

he's not getting much utility from it though since only one hand can attack compared to regular dual-wielding

[@Banana-cc5rx]

i guess it's just preference. Reverse grip seems more useful for stabbing, like a short spear.

[@Doflaminguard]

Only as a guard.

[@Strawhat_Pirates3D2Y]

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.

[@Fwibos]

His skill seems to be "ignore he got hit"

[@Strawhat_Pirates3D2Y]

@@Fwibos There is truth to what you're saying. I saw at least two times where he got hit and the video editor did not highlight it for whatever reason. Now, the point still stands, in terms of the reverse grip method, this was still a stunning display of skill. He clearly blocked and countered quite well. It's worth noting that I have only watched the video once though. So, I did not do a detailed frame by frame analysis.

[@WatchMysh]

Reverse grip has a "stigma" for good reasons. This guy would have fared better if he'd used his off hand properly.

[@TrickinNinja]

@@WatchMysh stigmatizing something because it was done improperly, only serves to obscure the actual practical usage of that thing. So you are hiding more information than you are revealing. There is a time and a place for everything, so to only focus and dwell on the wrong times and places in demonstration, and claim there is no exceptions, is disingenuous, misleading and dishonest, and therefore not a good thing.

[@WatchMysh]

@@TrickinNinja so when is the proper time (in combat) for a reverse grip on anything longer than a knife/dagger?

“Krabi Krabong” sounds to my English ears like a really good nickname for a Kingler in Pokémon

[@ivergonzales8349]

The best Krabi Krabong I've ever seen

[@greyclaa]

Outstanding exhibition. Is the left hand always a blade or can it be a tanbō or hanbō?

[@vareeshordo5204]

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_]

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)

[@vareeshordo5204]

@@NamMonn_ Thank you for helping me understand better ☺️

[@LightPresident95148]

When i was in Muay Thai and we learned "Krabi Krabong" there, it was also called "Thai swords ⚔️" and the sticks were always used instead of swords. So principally those sticks are two swords

As a reverse grip LARPer it was great to see a real world example that was martially sound.

[@severedconnections4821]

Great session.

[@zkgtv6211]

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.

[@phoeben9764]

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.

[@peterwang5660]

Point forward is so he can parry if the kendo fencer attacked his left. If he held it point back he would not have been able to swing at a slash to his left.

[@phoeben9764]

@@peterwang5660 Hmm when the kendo attacked his left, his point-forward was drawn backward again for defence, then what's the point...

[@Shadowbagles]

@@phoeben9764 I may be mistaken, but it could be as simple as mind games. A lot of times when a southpaw boxes against an orthodox fighter they both keep their lead hand out to fight over control of the space, even if it means they have to retract slightly to throw a strong jab. Idk, just a theory

[@covenmorgana1571]

I think the point forward on the off-hand was to "intimidate" or to "Distract"

[@pard2397]

reverse grip or ice pick is for short thrusting weapons like daggers. it was common for fights against amored opponents. they try to get the tip between armor plates.

[@nagamalaya4232]

Salam from Malaysia 🙏 In Northern Peninsular Malaysia our warriors use reverse grip alot including the half reverse half forward grip techniques like this video. It has been used since the war against Siamese that invade our lands. I've never saw a thai warrior using this technique before, usually they use forward grip on both hand. Silat cekak, silat kalimah, silat parang are some of the silat style that use reverse grip technique. Here's a video of how malay silat practitioner use this technique fb.watch/bF2o2iatBr/

The weapon style has infinite possibilities, however every choice of defense is a lost opportunity to kill. Without continuing to press the attack the single swordsman is likely to be struck. While it might be necessary to execute a frontal attack it's essential to move to the rear of the opponent
