Mastering Your Knife: The Fundamentals Of Filipino Martial Arts

Apolo Ladra is truly a master of his craft. Here is a brief clip of him explaining the fundamentals and principles of Filipino martial arts, as well as teaching students and other teachers how to use and train with the blade. Knife training is something FMA practitioners begin on their first day of training.

    in now on these day we need to learn to protect yourself and family, we need to learn a self tactic defense to fight back the enemies for good intention . Very deadly and dangerous tactics but it is very important to learn these kind of skills.

    There are lots of them. The pin to the body is cool when it’s sticks but not worth the risk if it’s a knife. I don’t know about you or this gentleman but this requires that everything go 100% perfectly for us in a fight and in fights and training, so far things have never gone 100% perfectly for me. Other trapping and locking techniques create openings that are just as good as this without the risk. Remember, you’ve got his knife pinned, but the knife has your free hand pinned. How much is really being gained here?

    Pinning the knife to the body like this looks cool and looks fun but there are so many reasons why this can go horribly wrong and it’s giving you a kind of ok hand fighting W in exchange for potentially having that hand completely taken out of the game along with potential afterial bleeding and near certain lacerations to the bicep and pec. The hours you’d need to put in to make sure you have this wrist control down so well that it still works when covered with blood means it’s only working for kali grandpas against street thugs in the Philippines. For the rest of us, we need to focus on the techniques that offer almost as much control without making us vulnerable due to something not going 100% out way in a real knife fight cuz guess what, nothing in a fight will ever go 100% our way.

    I was trying to see how you don't cut your left wrist? When you pull the left hand back, you're removing your right hand first? I wish I could see the technique from the opposite side to see more of how the knife 🔪 holding hand is removed safely!!!
