Love it!
Great stuff – thank you!
I was once shown how reverse grip makes it difficult for an opponent to grab the knife hand & not get seriously cut!
Thank you sir. I kinda figured having the blade facing outward in the reverse grip was a better way of going about it, so it was nice seeing someone like you affirm it
using a reverse grip with a wal mart folding box cutter (cutting edge outward) is DEADLY. if you doubt this, try it on a hanging bag of sand or a hanging piece of meat and see how deeply it cuts in case you would ever have to defend yourself with such an improvised weapon. it works WITH a natural punch motion we grew up with.
@killforfunandmoney69 thanx for viewing and commenting, it's a good training knife, I want a metal one, but this has worked very well!
You and I use the same style Cold Steel Tanto-style training knife. Cool!
@bassreeves1965 I think its important to be able to utilize a variety of stances, I like to switch styles and stances to throw my opponent off 🙂
@bassreeves1965 Hi there thanx for watching and commenting! I'm not sure what your referring to when you mean traditional warrior stance, since there are so many different styles out there.
@Susanoo58 thanks! reverse grip is really good for close range so I can understand why a lot of martial artists choose to study it.
Nice movement! My instructor does alot of reverse grip knife & stick work!
@smirkdancer thanx man, yours too! take care
that is a great use of tiger claw! very good and informative vids man.
@blacksilkblacksilk thanx Silk, the Heaven 6 to me is like a template to work from. Like notes it allows a person to make music. I've seen something similar probably in every style I've encountered. Without it, it's just fast chaotic moves, I think the H6 explains the method to the madness.
Thumbs up
Your exploitations of heaven six seems endless, which is the best for combat. Only one motion you learn and everything built on it. Your way of basing everything on the heaven six allows the student to become REALLY proficient, and it still is never boring since so many things can be done with it.
Also the deeper stances you mentioned would provide a better base for the wrestling phase, and in my experience whenever sparring (let alon a real fight) gets enthusiastic grappling happens
