Filipino Kali Knife tapping 

This is an old clip from 2013. I'm training with Tony Davis, chief instructor for Total dojo. We're doing Kali knife tapping. This is like blocking but instead of blocking and doing a finishing technique here we're concentrating on flow. We do single and double knife.
You tap to block a thrust but then to go with their counter or move the knife to somewhere more advantageous. Then you can finish or grab and retain. The hard bit is to not get stabbed with the initial thrust and to come off the centre line and to learn how to change and adapt in the moment. It requires great skill and feel. Challenging stuff
