" . . .the most useful thing I've learned about deescalation is to give the opponent an honorable exit."

Excellent Point!

James Keating's Drawpoint series were the first video's that I actually took the time to practice. They are well laid out, with a good drill progression. Probably the single best source for reverse grip instruction, short of extensive training with an experienced instructor.

There is one speed ...

Well done Mr. Blonde! Push forward and figuring it out for yourself!

Some people say they have trouble getting SE's to cut through clothing woven with heavy fibers, like wool. Supposedely the serrations will snag. . . . I have not carried out an experiment yet. (come to think of it, I have only ...

I've got one. Love it, it's bigger then I thought, but I've been looking for a plain edge hawkbill for a long time.

O.k. here is where to look for starters. . .

The fella that runs that sight is George Denson, who filmed a lot of Bram's Video's, including the most comprehensive Gunting video series.

The forum there, is a good place to find out when and where seminar's are happening.

Hope this ...

Agh! I wish I could carry my baton!

It's a great blade. I have one of the the G-10 versions, which is flat ground. That makes it a little thin, especially for a such a long blade. I would be a little concerned with the blade snapping. On the other hand, flesh is not renowned for it's density. If you don't twist or bend your blade ...

Rex, your only the second person, besides me, that I've heard use that expression.

Clear Water Gunting Seminar Review



Review of Techniques.

We covered the Horizontal-Vertical techniques 1-5. I've always known that there was about a half dozen ways to follow up any of these techniques. Once you've planted a guy on the ground, it's pretty easy to do with him what you want. But ...

I'll be in Clearwater, It sounds like Bram is planning on putting us through our paces!

I was at a seminar this weekend and managed to scrap open the knuckles of my training partner pretty good with my Drone. I've noticed before that the "blade" on my drone is cut nice and round but the edges are not rounded over much. By contrast, the "blade" on my CRMIPT is very rounded and smooth ...

It's nice being able to get answers straight from the source, isn't it!? <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

What's the latest?

There was going to be a prototype at the NYC show........

Gunting is great. Yes the edges of the ramp are "sharp", but not like a knife edge, think of it like the edges of ski's. all the corners and edges are right angles (90 degrees) but milled very fine. IF you rake bare skin with the ramp of a live "G" you'll break skin. The Crmipt has the ramp edges ...

Brandon, I'm going to tell you about closing the Gunting, but you need to pay attention because it can a little scary.
If your holding your open Gunting in your hand in the traditional forward grip, with your thumb on the lock. This is the important point, your forward most finger, usually your ...

Grand Master Ferrer instantly "Got" the impact and locking ideas behind the Gunting. I'm pretty sure he was still at the seminar when Bram went over Kinetic Opening as well. When he intergrates this tool into his style, he is going to be SCARY!

MMMMmmmmm pretty sure it was a ball lock yea.......(I'm visualizing......) the one I saw had bright blue handles. And I'm pretty sure that the fixed blade is called the Ronin and the Folder is called the Yojimbo....

Bram, I was REALLY hoping you weren't going mention the Kermabit! LOL

You know a LOT more about Grandmaster Louie Ferama (I'm not even sure how to spell his name) you want to give the guys a sentence or two on him?

On the subject of more classes in more locations: I understand that you guys will go to what ever city that has a group of poeple that can organize a class. What I think a lot of us don't know is: What does organizing a class entail? What information and resources do we have to have to lined up, in ...

was me! On another day, it will be someone else, but today it was me!



Met Bram at NYC Custom show on Friday. I've been to one of his seminar's before so,of course, I was anxious to train with him again. I knew that he was going to train some ATF and SS agents the following day.



So how does a ...
