This 1 hr tape covers the knife, knife vs hand, and hand vs. hand. Basic drills are done with both the knife and empty hand.
Starting with an interesting 12 number striking system (the last two strikes were different from other systems)we get into the Knife vs. Knife section.
Another stand out point is that this tape keeps the international consumer particularly English speaking German in mind. The narrator is reminiscent of those on DW (Deutshwelle) television. BTW, if you didn't know FMA can be found in Germany, Australia, Italy, Spain, South Africa, the UK and is surely expanding.
The tape covers cuts, parries, blocks, and evading. Suro Inay and his assistant perform the techniques at regular and slow speed with occasional slow motion replays and different angles shown. The thumb up grip aka Filipino grip (Mike Janich) Cancer grip (Hock Hocheim) is shown with applications.
One of the drills uses opposing grips (ice pick vs saber). Similar footage is found in Ron Balicki's third tape.
Knife to knife disarms is followed by the Hands vs Knife section and drills. Then by the Empty hand vs Empty hand section. Seko taban (elbow hit) and gunting (scissor hit) drills are shown along with double elbow hits. An uppercut gunting is shown as well, something I haven't seen in other tapes.
Chaining the drills involves blending the earlier drills into one free form exercise. Lock flows involves dealing with an empty hand attack and going into a lock then the partner counters the lock. My favorite part of the tape and is similar to Wing Chun Chi Sao.
This intermediate level tape has plenty of 2 man drills to offer with a style that blends well with Boxing and Wing Chun type stylists as well as those who like standing joint locks. Suro Inay moves pretty well demonstrating the lock flow takedown into the ground. This tape is also a good companion to Ron Balicki's Defensive Edge three offering a similar Palasut (passing) drill and lockflow on the ground.
