-----------------------------

The video hightlight was shot during a successful International Kerambit Seminar in Italy.

People from different martial arts attended the seminar and more than half of them are instructors and have thier own martial arts academies.

Attendance came from Czech Republic, Slovenia, Spain, other than from different parts of Italy.

The seminar covered entries, release counters and take-downs in regards to the Kerambit.

What is a KERAMBIT?

The Kerambit (a.k.a, karambit, korambit) is a small hooked knife with a ring on its handle. Its a traditional close quarter, stealth weapon found most commonly in old silat styles and a few other southeast asian martial arts like several Filipino Kali/silat schools.

No matter how a person tries to convince you that the kerambit is an agricultural or D.I.Y tool you cant help but feel and see that its design and function is more for killing then anything else. Based on the design of a tigers claw, a competent practitioner don't just cut any part of the body but aims for the arteries and soft tissues of the body.

The kerambit cuts and slices, but its design functions more for tearing and piercing, to inflict maximum damage.

This seminar aims to raise curiosity and awareness among people of different nationalities about the martial heritage and culture of Brunei Darussalam and silat in general. The understanding that what makes a martial art is the culture from which it comes from and not generalizing it simply as all silat being the same.

APPRECIATION

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to (my brother) Carlo Andreis and his beautiful family for treating me as thier own.

To every one from different martial arts background and nationalities, who attended and help me in the demonstration and instruction in the seminar. You guys (and girl) are great. I can never thank you so much.

Too many. I like classic martial arts, but sometimes we forget all this was meant for war. Even the very classic styles we practice had a practical meaning in everything, they were born because some warrior thought there was a more practical way to do things, but, as time goes by, some people begins to do things just because the elders did, they don't understand what are they doing. Many martial arts have suffered this situation, specially modern interpretations of ancient war techniques.

That's a generalization. You're talking about state laws. In California for example, hell yes, you aren't allowed to carry anything dangerous without special permission. However, in Arizona, i'm allowed to carry a Nepalese khukuri in public all i want. :) Also, we just got rid of that license law. If you are an adult with no felony convictions in Arizona you can buy a gun, load it, and carry it around in your pocket. ;)

@wolf3001

That sounds like it would totally mesh :D

I dabbled in some Wing.. The close quarter motions would couple really well in conjunction with the Karambit..

Good luck carrying or using these things without going to jail.

It's illegal to carry ANY deadly weapon specifically for self defense use unless it's a pistol and you have a CHL.

@weltenbummler82 good point, in my home town we use knife and machete in real fight, and that is the truth about real fight `you use weapons`, because the pragmatic idea of using weapons in real fight is the same as if you want to dig a hole in a terrain, you want to do it fast with less effort...and what way you can do it? ..you use a tool (shovel if you want to dig ahole and machete for example for afight), so a person who use a weapon in real fight considerebely a smart person.
