James Keating leads off the issue with a look at
the Kerambit (hook knife), leading us through a flowing series of 5
elbow-shields and counters with the kerambit as well as introducing some ideas
in how to use the knife as a very serious control tool. You will find a lot of
neat stuff "hidden" in the elbow-shields when you start training them and making
the connections. This flow set acts as a "quick start" to Silat and Kerambit.
Kelly Worden is our Special Guest in this issue, and his segment on the Impact
Kerambit (a.k.a. Travel Wrench) and Filipino knife concepts will certainly prove
that Modern Knives is an UNCENSORED publication. (Any of you who have trained
with Kelly know that he has a wacky sense of humor and occasionally says things
that are "a little too hot for TV" when teaching seminars.) Kelly presents a lot
of great material here in an easy to follow way. He has the FLOW and also the
STRUCTURE to pass his knowledge on to others. There is much to be learned here
on foot trapping, entries, passing, zoning, footwork and so on in addition to
the obvious aspects of the weapons themselves. You'll be busy making notes
on this one.
Pete Kautz's segment is focused on basic Filipino knifecraft, and covers four
essential drills using the thrusting triangle from both forward and reverse
grips. You will learn the hand parry, the knife parry, the chain (de cadena),
the flow, and how to combine them all in spontaneous motion. Like the Espada y
Daga last time, these drills alone offer months of work.
For our video review, we take a look at Blaise Loong's Silat Sabungin DVDs.
This 3-volume series presents Blaise's approach to handling small blades, hooks,
spikes, fistloads, and open hand tactics based on his experience in the Filipino
and Indonesian martial arts. You can
read a full review of the
DVDs on the Alliance site, and then see Blaise in action here on Modern
Knives.
We will be hearing three different tracks from Musical Guest Others from their 2004 album "Garden Of Rage". These range from the ethereal and spooky "Descent" to the more metallic "Garden of Rage" and the driving "Devil May Care". You can find more music to listen to at their web site http://www.othersgothichorror.com
