Knife training video review

[Kev]

Hi,

I thought I would give a quick review. I haven't watched this one for a while, so I'm working from memory and notes.

I really like the progression in Guro Gibson’s tapes. It is an excellent overview, especially for those training in Inosanto blend of the FMA. It’s not a very visually exciting tape… but it is a good tape for those who are fairly new to the FMA(or a good reference for those more advanced students), and are looking for a good training progression.

Kev,

Do you have the other Gibson videos? If so, could you review them as well? I seen this one some time ago and I thought it was pretty good too.

Hi Don,

I have a few more, but I haven't watched these videos in a couple years. I'll rewatch Silat I in a day or two and write up a review.

I've always wanted to buy those Gibson videos. Do you guys know if I can find them for sale on the Internet?
I understand Guro Gibson has passed away years ago, and I wonder if his tapes are still available.
