Are there any kerambit instructionals out there? Not demos but instructionals.
 
Hello Smoke,

I believe Willem Sanders has a full vid on it or maybe partial. I personally have not seen this vid and have many others to buy before I get this, however, I do like to play with the kerambit.

Also, a vid I do have which has about 5 mins of kerambit application is Guy Chase's Mande Muda #2 from ESPY-TV. Most of the applications were exactly like the empty hand, but the kermabit facilitates the moves.

I'm not too sure, but maybe Kelly Worden has something too, his impact kerambit, or maybe on the real kerambit. Not sure.

HTH.

Thanks, all this kerambit talk got me fascinated again. Funny thing is Chase leaves in my area but then again so does Ralph Gracie.

The DTL created some controversy here a ways back. On a another forum, a guy used it, dropped and fumbled around. I'm not into keychain hardware much, I figure the Comtech Stinger is more my speed.
 
Looks like it has caused quite a bit but the post did not clarify whether or not it was Datu Wordens Kerambit or his own self made Kerambit that he was using.

 
I have seen William Sander's kerambit video. The the beginning goes through different styles of kerambits and variations of knives which are similar in technique as the kerambit. The rest of the tape goes through the different applications of the kerambit includng slashing and one or two disarms.
IMHO, I think someone who is into experimenting with the weapon could find the technques by training or applying their knowledge of edged weapons in a reverse grip. I did not see a lot of twirling or flipping of the kerambit by using the finger ring though.

I have not seen the DTL video, but I have a tape put together by Kelly Worden from a Natural Spirit seminar showing the variations of the DTL using it as an IMPACT weaon not an edged weapon. I use my DTL as an edged weapons trainer.
