Hi Sifu Leung,
I have talked
to a few people who have learned the knife form, and they say that
the butterfly knives have no combat value anymore. They said that
the butterfly knives are just there to train you to use your hands
better and that if you really want to learn to use weapons, then you
should study escrima/kali.
I don't agree with this point of
view and think that if you trained the butterfly knives as much as
escrima/kali trains the sticks, then you should be able to use them
just as good if not better than someone learning escrima/kali.
I am wondering what your view is on this subject? Is the
practice of the butterfly knives out dated and only serves to
improve your hands? Or do they still have their combat
value? | |
