FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS***pikal grip knife wrapping***

Uploaded by arnisguro on Apr 6, 2008
When i was young in the Philippines i was told that the serious knifers would do this.... scary!!! Notice that i leave my thumb on the bottom of the knife and then wrap the handkerchief over my thumb. This is to re-enforce your grip while stabbing and the cloth to absorb the blood for a "no slip grip"

we use to do that when we were younger.
-
good...mostly done in the visayan island especially cebu...nice2x...but the blade position is wrong face it inward please thank you
-
Yeah, that is a pretty terrifying situation to be attacked by a guy with his knife like that.
I guess the only disadvantage for the knife wielder would be that it's impossible to change hands. So if I manage to get to the outside of the knife arm, controlling it, I don't have to worry about him taking the knife in his left hand instead.
It's not much of a comfort though.

I use the pikal grip all the time. Never thought of wrapping before. Nice tip.

I see, thank you for the explanation!

your uncle knew what he told you!!!

Interesting wrapping technique. Thanks for passing on that knowledge.
Just wanted to add that the true P'kal style would require that the blade edge be oriented inward, not outward as is shown in the vid.
The primary focus of the style is to attack with an overhand, ripping, tearing fashion.
This also allows one to pull back in a shearing motion against your opponent's limb should they try to block with their arm. Can't do that with the edge oriented outward.

You are correct sir! I did not even realize that i did that! I think i was caught up in the whole "wrapping" part that i missed the true blade orientation of the edge facing my body... ooppps! I hope I dont do that in a real knife fight! LOL... yes the true p'kal as you also spelled correctly is for the ripping and tearing, mimicking the claws of an animal... thank you for your observation and knowledge...

May I ask what the heck will I do in the 65 seconds while he is wrapping his hand??? Probably hit/stab/shoot him, or simply walk away... :))

i have heard this many times... it was a something to do either before coming into a fight or challenge or both fighters would do this for a challenge match.... i have witnessed my cousins while walking into a sketchy part of town do this discreetly and quick, and also going into rumbles...
