Many (too much) people just talk from their ignorance (that has been the rule specially from this last four years). Ancient Karambits are double edged, and you pointed well the legality of single edged ones. Great video as laways!

I unfortunately just found your page not to long ago, FMA is something I have wanted to do since I started training when I was 13. Bad part of is I am 50 now so I have to move slowly, but I'm learning, and my movement and mobility are getting better everyday. Don't ever stop being the Instructor you are.

I feel you man, but it's never too late we must believe... it's about the reason and the why, why we want to train and learn any art and defense. To defend the weak or weaker ones, our family and friends, including ourselves. Im just learning slowly via free youtube lessons. I know its difficult to learn just by watching videos, but it's better than nothing. By the way Im 39 this year my friend... God bless.

Thanks for taking the time to share your skills with us I love the karambit and did contact a few weeks ago to see if you did a online course ...... maybe it’s time 👍👍👍👍👍

Really great video! As well as the last one you made 5 years ago, you are a great instructor 💪🏾

Great lesson, as always!

Ive had all these karambits sitting around for years with nothing to do with em. Ddcided to finally learn and found you. Now not only can i train that but you are helping me learn many other techniques. And for that. Thank you!

i love karambit for ever , i practice , very good vidéo

Great 👍 drill... Love practicing with the karambit knife 🔪

Mark thanks for this vídeo. Awesome tips.

Thanks sir 🙏☺

Mark, you are an awesome instructor. Excellent communicator. Love your non flashy, unassuming way. Love the karambit. I'd like to see more combos or tech. I thought it hilarious when mentioned getting older, wiser AND, losing your hair. Funny part is I don't think you meant it as being funny but to slip that in there when you were plainly speaking was great. Thank you for your videos.

For me, the combos no need 😆 Knife fights end fast. GOOD ones with attackers on floor & without your blood BAD ones are WHEN they grab your knife, break your finger and stick in you All those done with no records 🥲 But yes, love those basic moves and flips anyway 😁

No offense to Mark He is my master ❤ Love the basics Get a hold of it quickly 🤓

The flip is def useful as a strike ...strike as an opening move to your opponents wrists or forearms...done in the right place unprotected can cause some really devastating results. Or even to the face or side of the head

My favorite knife! 👍

Subscribed today, I trained in the '80's and 90's with Tuhon Tom Bisio, Tuhon Wm. Mcgrath and had four one week seminars with Gnd Mstr Leo Gaje jr Your versions are just like our pekiti tersia abecedarios. I got the first 64, the 12 (plus one ) sinawalis and a few dozen disarms (bladed and non bladed) and the first sequidas but we never trained Karambit, (the extra one sinawali is MoyMoy Canete's ''one way'' He always won with it)

Appreciate the subscription, but I’m gonna be real with you. Comments like this make me hate the FMA community. “Your move is like ours” is the equivalent of saying “best regards” in a professional email. It just comes off as a polite fuck you, y’know? All you did was comment your resume on this video.. which honestly means jack. Don’t care what system you learn, who’s your instructor or if you like your drink shaken or stirred. I still have NO IDEA who you are and what you bring to the table other than a LinkedIn profile summary. Just be a good person and spread that energy around. Btw, you’re welcome for the video.

What is a technique to change from pakal (ice pick) grip to sak sak ( forward grip) with karambit?

Think we could have a video on using a Karambit vs a knife attacker?

Hello sir saan po ba training venue nyo para makapag pa enroll

Where you located?

THE NASTY BOY IS BACK BAYBY!

I'm confused about how a double-edged karambit would be illegal in canada... it's not a push dagger (explicitly prohibited). Lots of other double-edged knives are legal here. What am i missing? Thanks!

Are Kali & Silat much different from each other? As thought only Silat uses karambit as it's Indonesian weapon

@jehamoonsoon2847

as it's name Pekiti-Tirsia Kali can use any types of weapons like karambit indigenous in southeast Asia, take the example of Chinese martial arts with karambit or Krav maga with karambit.
