Training With The Karambit
Before you run out
and buy a real Karambit and start
flipping it around, you should be made
starkly aware that it's got a sharp
point and a sharp edge. If you have no
training and you go flipping around a
real Karambit at high speeds you're
asking for self-inflicted injury! Unless
you've got experience or training it is
highly suggested that you purchase a
training Karambit as well. These are
usually inexpensive and can save you all
kinds of medical expenses in the long
run. To purchase a training Karambit

Certain models of the Karambit are
capable of three applications of usage.
These are: 1. As a utility tool (such as
daily chores, camping, etc.) 2. A
martial-arts training implement (such as
for training, demonstrations, etc.) and
3. Personal safety (i.e., you are
violently attacked and are in fear of
loss of life or limb). Unless you're a
collector and keep your Karambit for
display only or secured, then you need
some level of training based on any of
these three applications.
There are four basic levels of suggested
training. Each level is recommended
based on the intended use of your
Karambit.
 |
Level 0 - Little to no
training.
If you choose to keep your
knife in a glass case and
only show it to your friends
and family members in your
living room, then you
require no training
whatsoever.
Level 1 - Safety and
operation training. |
|
If
you chose to use your
knife strictly as a
utility tool, then you
only need to know the
basics of gripping and
safe operation,
which can be found in
any
Steve Tarani
training
video or
book. This
web site also maintains
a section on the basics
of rudimentary safety
and operation training.

Level
2 - Personal Safety
Training
In
the event you may
need to employ your
karambit for
purposes of ensuring
your personal
safety, then you
need to become
familiar with the
basics of survival
using this tool.
This level also
includes those
elements found in
Level 1 and can be
found in the Safety
and Operation
training videos.
Additionally
recommended is a
two-day basic
KARAMBIT LEVEL ONE
TRAINING
SEMINAR. To order

Level 3 - Martial Arts Training
 If
you are interested in the full
operational capabilities of this
incredible artifact, then you should
take a serious look at martial-arts
training. This is the most comprehensive
of all levels of training, as it
encompasses mind, body and other
elements of the art. This level also
includes those elements found in Level 1
and Level 2 and can be accomplished by
joining a certified Pencak Silat martial
arts school (such as the Inosanto
Academy in Los Angeles and
others recommended
by the
Suwanda Academy
that teaches traditional Pencak Silat
lineage)
of Karambit training in your area, or
schedule yourself to take a seminar or
workshop with a bonified instructor. |
