Balisong Techniques

ChungSan · Oct 21, 2000

I wanted to see what kind of techniques everyone is into here. What do you use?

- Twirls
- Openings and Closings
- Sheath Drawing
- Striking
- Blocking

Or anything else I didn't list.

I try to practice a variety of everything. I really enjoy perfecting a basic technique.

I try to do a variety of openings and closings, but I find myself mainly doing twirls. Lately, I've been going back to the basics to get them down perfect.

So far, openings, closings and twirls. I'm not confident enough to try aerials yet.

I practice hard and often at basic opens and closes but I don't even really want to learn the fancy stuff. Aerials have little attraction to me. I guess I'm more of a balisong-user than a balisong-artist.

Oh yeah! Aerials are a big one for me also, can't beat the flying balisong

for me its mainly twirls and aerials. my god, do i hate those underhand aerials. they poke me almost every time.
that and roll-overs. i've been practicing my thumb roll-overs a lot (and the floor isnt too happy about it

)

BalisongMan · Oct 21, 2000

yeah, some of those roll-overs are hard

Oh well, harder is better

Manipulating a set of balis' is very relaxing to me after a tough day in the rat race. I find myself transing through finger rolls and aerials , just letting it role out of me.

I PRACTICE basics religiously. Kinda like a black belt in the TKD system...He has several skilled implements in his bag but he always practices that reverse punch.
