Kerambit

Discussion on the technique of handling kerambit and keris.
Kerambit is a weapon found among the cultures of Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The shape of the kerambit is in the shape of a tiger claw.The kerambit is characterized by a sharply curved, usually double-edged blade which when the knife is properly held, extends from the bottom of the hand, with the point of the blade facing forward. In Southeast Asia kerambits are encountered with varying blade lengths and both with and without a retention ring for the index finger on the end of the handle opposite the blade. However, in addition to being held blade facing forward and extending down from the fist.It is believed that the biomechanics of the weapon allow for more powerful cutting strokes, particularly against an attacker's limbs, even with a short blade. The index finger ring makes it very difficult to disarm and it also allows a finer measure of control as compared with a straight knife.

This looks like there's some fundamental knowledge being imparted here, some english subtitles would go a long way to make this guro/tuhon and what he has to say understood and appreciated in many more countries of the world.
