I have seen a few video clips of people opening and closing their Butterfly and Balisong Knives. Usually, what you see is a person holding a knife out in front of the camera, so you can see their "moves". But I was wondering, does anyone ever practice in just the opposite way. So no one can see what they are doing. For example, open it up behind their back. Or take it out of their back pocket and open it up as they bring it foward. It seems to me, that not just the hand and wrist should be involved, but the arm, shoulder and the whole body.
I remember when I was over in China, the old people go out to the park to exercise. It's not the same as here in America, where they try to maneuver the body often in a rough jerky way to get it to do what they want it to. Over there, it's slower, a lot smoother and more continuous. More like a dancer where they search out the natural body flow, rhythm and movement. I know the body moves and flows better in some ways than in others. So I was wondering if anyone was searching that out as they were learning different ways to maneuver their butterfly knives. Thanks, JohnR7 www.BalisongKnife.com
