Tribal Blade and Tomorrow's Free training session

Tomorrow will be our first Free training session on Karambit use. I'm very excited as I am planning to use this time as an exploratory and growth session for all the attendees. My intention as of right now is to demonstrate the versatility of the Karambit, and show how because of its unique design and shape, and characteristics, it can actually attack the opponent's targets from several planes much more readily than is available with a straight blade.

To accomplish this, I will be teaching some basic maneuvers using the Karambit, and then instruct a few necessary drills to implement a basic competency in meeting an attack from an opponent. Then, I will be drilling the attendees in a brief series of striking combinations. These combinations will then be applied on a partner.

This session will help to kick off the opening of my Tribal Blade training group here in the NYC area. My plans are to make Tribal Blade a composition of open-minded individuals seeking to expand their knowledge and expertise in bladework in general and allow for an atmosphere of friendship, and comraderie based upon a common interest in knifework. It will be open to members of all local schools of training in knifework and hopefully will add to everyone's understanding and experience in blade culture.
