Sinawali(Weaving Pattern) often referred to as techniques used for double sticks or doble baston in Kali Escrima (Filipino Martial Arts).These patterns also are used for empty handed striking.I have been a beginner learning Filipino Martial Arts and I found these interesting drills that are explained in an easy to follow instruction, great for someone who just started with Kali.
The Karambit (Filipino Term) often called Kerambit (in Malaysia and Indonesia) or Hawk bill knife in the US as one important must haves self defense/utility knives nowadays. Originally having the double edge blade and a finger grip ring makes it the best weapon and is very very hard to disarm. To the practitioners of Kali and Silat it will be a deadly weapon of choice.
It is widely used in the birthplace of Silat, Indonesia for several centuries and has it's roots in Malaysia and the birthplace of Kali which is the Philippines, as a last resort weapon (similar to European daggers and Japanese tanto blades) and also used as a farming tool to harvest crops and for activities of daily living.
It is said to be brought by the Majapahit Empire from India which ruled South East Asia for a long time. It resembles the Claw of Hanuman (the Monkey God in the Ramayana) or sometimes called the tiger's claw. It is meant to rip through flesh than stabbing and with one arm swing it could produce 2 cuts instead of the conventional 1 cut movement with straight edged knives.
With the rise of violent home invasions this will be a perfect defensive weapon to own or even on the streets to fend off violent attackers.Even so, training in Kali (Filipino Martial Arts)which is the most effective weapon based self defense could complement the use of the Karambit. Kali is the mother art of the Filipino Martial Arts and has growing popularity and used by several Elite, military branches and law enforcement throughout the world.
Famous knive makers like Ernest Emerson, Steve Tarani and the founder of Cold Steel Knives were well versed in Kali and Silat.
