I am going to try and make a video showing some of "my art" using the khukuri for the convention, since i cant come.
Please give me some ideas, scenarios, situations you would like me to address.
anything you want to see, just tell me and i will do my best...
youll have to forgive me alot, because i am no expert and i am certainly no filmmaker.
 
:D

Outstanding Danny!

Thank you...this will give us something to watch after the sun sets, the BYOB flows and the knives are put away for the day.

Now then...CQC of course...defense against knives, sticks, longer weapons and multiple opponents at least. Demonstrations of your suggested techniques, blocking vision, blocking line of sight, avoiding injury and letting the Khuk sing?

Maybe even the best way to talk your way out of a fight involving an opponent with a gun? ;)
 
I'd like to see how you do the points 3 and 4 from your khukuri in combat post. It seems practical but somewhat difficult to visualise.

"3. Keep your weapon hidden at all times, even during combat. (hold it behind your back, up your sleeve, inside your coat, or behind your arm. put your hand in his face, raise his arm, just dont let him see the weapon. If he doesnt know its coming, he wont even try to defend himself against it.)
4. Don't try to use the khukuri, just move your body out of the way of the attack. In so doing, opportunities will arise wherein the khukuri will come alive and do what it does all on it's own."

Other than that, I would be happy just to see some of the movements in the art. I figure one can learn a little just by watching the flow of the movements and the blending of individual techniques (maybe with the aid of some slow motion :) )
 
Bruise! You're coming to the MKK??? Outstanding! :D
 
:eek:

And here I thought the allure of my yard and chilli had won you over! :(
 
Danny?

In the movie the HUNTED with Tommy Lee Jones,and somebody Detoro, there were marvelously coreographed knife fight scenes. I believe the KALI method was taught them.

One section of the film discussed attack from back...with a cadence:
"Arm, neck, heart, leg, leg, lung" (I think.) It was to disable the arm and free it from a weapon, pull back the neck to stab down to the heart over the sternum, cut the two femoral arteries in the thighs, and then stab into the lung.

OK. Then the best of my recollection for Gorkha training instruction is " Slash at head, good. Slash at arm, good. Slash at leg, good."

Given a fair amount of allowance for movie over reality...the two techniques seem to parallel each other.

IN yet another film, SWITCHBACK with Danny Glover and Dennis Quaid, the bad-guy did his killing by slicing the femoral arteries...mostly.


Sooooooo. Are there techniques of which you are aware which would incorporate some of these end results with khukuri use? Is a leg slash on the artery of the thigh a killing wound?

Thanks for thinking of doing this job.
 
Any solid hit with a kuk is a killing wound, without medical attention.

This fighting system is all about fitting into the moment. In fact, "fighting system" is probably a poor way to typify it. This is a living system. :)
 
Uh, I dont feel comfortable discussing specific techniques over the internet.
I will make a list of techniques you guys want to see and do my best to put some good ideas on video.
Once you get the video, I want your words of honor not to show it around to anyone who is not known to you, dont show it to kids nor persons of mental imbalance.
What I do is serious and I do not want to be indirectly responsible for injury or death of any person.


I will say this, the femoral artery is one of the biggest in the body.
A cut there bleeds you out faster than a cut jugular.

The stuff you saw in the hunted was movie stuff. Based in reality, but not real. (silly, in fact)
 
Danny, quite the contrary...what you share with us is taken seriously and is intended to prevent injury or death of any person unless the highest standard of judgement in use of force is met. I'd rather be shot (again) than take a serious cut from one of these!
 
At work this guy got his leg caught between a large truck and the tow bar for an f-16, it missed his femoral artery by about a 1/2". I was taught about sensetive areas of the body in my training, but it's really different to talk about it and then to see how sensetive these areas are in real life. This guy was bleeding so much I thought he was giving birth to a cow.

Another disabling area is the lower stomach, and the solar plexus(sp?). Does this sound right to you, Danny? Anything you are willing to show is good, but maybe some quick self defense strikes and blocks. Sort of hit'em hard and run away.

BTW, congrats on living through another year.

Kismet,

The femoral artery when hit, even with a kukri is not an immediate killing technique. If they are armed with a pistol for instance, you would need to follow up with a finishing cut. When attacking the neck, if you hit the carotid artery, no follow up technique is required!

The head instructor of my MA style is also putting together a Combat Kukri Video for the UK market, it would be interesting to compare the two at some point.

Danny, if you were armed with a kukri, how would you deal with 2 burglars armed with standard kitchen knives?? Thats the most likely situation i'm gonna come across over here!! Would like your ideas on that. Where would you attack first etc?
"K"
 
Let's raise the bar a bit, techniques to dissarm with minimal damage would be very interesting and show skill on a higher order. I'm sure the flat,shape, but and back edge of a khuk could be used very effectively and in creative ways. Yes, it is very difficult, but an intersting way to think. I want a copy, please.....
 
Danny?

That was just curiosity...don't bother yourself on my account. The question had been roaming around in my mind for a while.

I am not going to encounter any situation in which I need that information. And, most probably, I will never see the video. :)

Please, do not make yourself uncomfortable dealing with such a hypothetical. Your training is your training. If anyone else needs the information, then they can make it Their training.

Be safe and well.
 
I agree, minimal damage "opponent-controlling" techniques would be a good thing.
I will try to make every technique in both a controlling and a lethal version, i guess.
I want to make one thing clear:
I am not promoting myself, I am not intending to make money, I am not intending to sell this video.
At the moment, the only people who will see it will have to come to the khonvention or visit Nasty at his house, for he will be the khukuri tape keeper.
I am making it to fulfill a request from several HI cantina people.
I need to know right now if this is going to cause problems, I dont need any problems.
If it is, then I just wont do it.

So tell me that it wont cause any problems, tell me that people from other martial arts schools arent going to be upset, tell me that i wont get 100 emails from people who TOTALLY disagree with everything on it.

I dont need nor want that stuff.

IF we can all be adult and just take the good stuff and discard the bad stuff, than I will do it.
If that happens and the tape can be received with this kind of non-critical acceptance, then we will look into sending some copies to people who cant come to the khonvention. (you send us a blank and we will send it back dubbed)

I dont need any replies to this message.
If everyone agrees to this, then continue giving me some more techniques you want to see.

If one's mindset is correct, a properly loaded 1911 is employed and the shooter has some skill, I think the outcome is forgone.


(of course, that is a lot of "if's" ) :D
