I highly, highly recommend the Ron Balicki Defensive Edge Series, it's 3 volumes. It is IMHO the best progressive knife curriculum I've seen on video to date. I have a ton of knife video's and this series is my favorite.

Get them you will not be disappointed: www.ronbalicki.com

I can't pronounce this guys name and the spelling I am sure is awful. But can anyone give me some info on this guy? Thanx.

Isn't Ron Balicki Dan Inosanto's son-in-law?

Datu Kelly Worden has some excellent knife tapes dont forget others such as James Keating and Michael Janich as well.

Their videos can be found at www.paladin-press.com

There used to be a site in which you could reviews reviews of many different martial arts videos. I think the literally had hundreds of reviews but I just tried to go there and the site was unavailable.

Heartless Monkey Knife by Guro's Chas Clements and Steve Gartin is excellent. Lots of solid advice and technique. Really rich in information, you'll have to watch it a bunch of times.

Forgive the production values, it's still a darn good video IMO.

There's some very good footage of Willem DeThouars doing some of his knife forms. Wow.

If you hit Google and do a search on "Heartless Monkey Knife" you'll find reviews of this tape far better than what I can do.

Here is the current webpage with the video reviews on it

As for the knife videos, I like the video by Vladimer Vasliev on knife combat. This is a good video that teachs you what to do when BOTH you and the attacker have a knife. A lot of videos focus on the knife being with JUST the attacker or JUST the defender, not both.

I agree, Keating, reverse grip knife fighting, and Janich (can't remeber title) are both pretty good. Frank Cucci -TRS Knife Fighting is good as well. Mark "animal" McYoung series is comical, I didn't really get into it.

Stay away from "Brazilian Jungle Knife fighting" or something like that. Nice colorful cover, thats about it.

Is this supposed to be a style? It sounds like the movie Exposure (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0101834)!

Just a tid bit, I've been asking around about knife training myself and have come across All Weather Knife Fighting, from Master Peter Brusso. I heard it's hard to get into, as far as training because their very selective. So, I'm still researching but he has a video up for sale on teachingsofthemasters.com, a website I frequent. Hope that helps.

I like the Sayoc videos, but of course I have been to a few of their seminars. I can't say how they'd be otherwise.

Hello Arnisador,

I wish I had the option to purchase the Sayoc DVDs when I first started training with Tuhon Sayoc!! I don't limit my purchases to Sayoc Kali only, I have many, many videos from all over, but I do like the way the Sayoc DVD's are layed out and the quality being used in the productions.
