Balisong - Snap Aerials in Slowmo

NOTE: I am NOT a martial artist. NOTHING you see here has anything to do with knife fighting or any kind of fighting. If anything, this is an instructional film on how to do POORLY in a knife fight. Which I do not recommend.


This is filmed in 600 FPS using a high-speed camera, to show exactly how this move is done.

The speed of the snap in relation to the speed of the applied backward rotation is what determines the position of the knife when it has come to a balance point and stops opening/closing. This can also be done from a closed to a closed position, which is pointless, but really fun. :)

hey dave, love it, its wierd that you did this though cause i was talking to my girl last week about buying a highspeed camera for that stuff! great minds think alike haha, but what i had in mind for using was different, i thought about having the camera hanging over me and me doing arials to where i catch it in mid air right infront of the camera

yeah, i just need a camera with that kind of frame mileage haha, but im glad i can see what these videos look like, thanks dave, see if you can try a matrix style video with, ill see what i can do with a regular camera and video effect knowledge. a person with a camera, a computer, and freetime like me, could make there own hollywood stunts come alive in time haha. technology
