Reverse grip or ice pick grip is used for close range/ trapping. When distance is medium to long forward-grip is used. I prefer whichever is advantageous in reference to range. Pikal has been fun though.

@chillyguy penchak silat has several levels and distances in which we operate. It is not bound by the close range, although extremely effective at close range

@@chrispeterson6433 yeah that may be true in some cases. But most indonesians are SHORT, which is our weakness to fight with distance. That's why silat was basically created for close fight. I never seen any jawara keep distance in real fight, except in competition and friendly sparing.

Love the variety of options based on the angle of knife attack. That wrist slice followed by disembowelment is nasty!

Love the reverse grip has ability to strike different angles,and yet most brutal ,and can be hidden as surprised defense and attack

I like reverse grip because it is harder to read in the Western world, has gripping/trapping capabilities, and reverse grip has some amazing flows in addition to its powerful combat application

Given that I carry a karambit as my EDC, I prefer the reverse grip. Not only is it a more comfortable grip, but also I find it easier to conceal. Excellent demo and great advice regarding training 💯 🎯

Thank you! You can’t go wrong with the karambit.

4:05-4:13 - there is no return from such a deadly cut across the organs

Here in South Africa they will always use ice pick.

I'm not a fan of reverse grips because it's very brutal in grappling or close-quarter situations, just like with the karambit (I'm worried about lawsuits). However, I would still include it in my arsenal just in case I have a close-range attacker for self-defense. If I use the knife in another way, I could warn the attacker and cover more distance, but I'm not sure.

Hopefully a knife fight never happens and you can just run. If you can’t then reverse grip plays a huge roll in keeping the blade hidden. Both grips have their advantages and disadvantages. Good answer to my question.

My instructor taught this same thrust to the abdomen, he explained that the blade enters at an angle and when pulled it comes out tearing the belly, he also said the knife can get caught in the intestines and rip out the opponent's intestines when pulled. Is it true that depending on the angle of the blade, the knife can catch the intestines and rip them out? I think it's easier for the knife to cut the guts than to pull them out. Can you clear this doubt for me?

Great question, it's possible. However, I have seen a few knife attacks to the abdomen and have not seen any intestines protruding out. Now depending on the severity of the thrust/tearing movement along with wound opening would dictate possible disembowelment of your attacker. A good rule of thumb is when you thrust cork screw when pulling out. This will make it next to impossible to stitch up.

@@RenanFerrazN you’re welcome. After thrusting with the blade when you withdraw the blade you make a twisting motion to the right or left like a cork screw.

I’m more confident and efficient with forward grip, once I feel out my opponent and what I’m dealing with, reverse grip for the kill 🥷🔪🔪🔪
