Knife Disarm on Ground
June 23, 2010 By Leave a Comment
From the Battlefield Kali Knife distance learning program, Burton “Lucky Dog” Richardson shows a worst case scenario- on your back, empty handed, against a knife. This is a control that works well if you cannot get to a 2 on 1 grip. Notice that the knife may be cutting the leg, but not severely. It is all about minimizing the damage in this terrible situation. This grip comes up often when we spar this position. (In Battlefield Kali we spar ALL positions!) Burton’s Website: www.battlefieldkali.com
Burton is using our Basic Gatorback with a Rubber Grip for this drill.
Naginata – A Blast From The Past
June 20, 2010 By 1 Comment
A couple of photos from one of my clients from way back. I made two of these in the late 90′s or early 2000′s for Todd Taganashi. He was kind enough to share these photos with me. Back when I made this blade it was too expensive to do good photography and I lost the bad photos that I took of this blade. This was an ambitious project. The Naginata has a mirror polish, guard, and full micarta scales. I’m happy to see that it held up for all of these years. Thanks for sharing your photos Todd.
