Mastering the Balisong Knife (Revised & Updated) DVD by Michael Janich

Now you can master the lightning-fast techniques of the balisong knife. Completely revised and updated using state-of-the-art digital equipment, multiple camera angles, and crystal-clear slow-motion, this groundbreaking video production from Paladin Press by balisong master Michael Janich will teach you an impressive array of balisong techniques that range from the simplest of openings to the actual deployment of the butterfly knife in combat. First, Janich shows a set of basic, reverse-grip, and intermediate openings and closings that will increase your dexterity and familiarity with the balisong. From there, he progresses to the more visually impressive techniques, such as the helicopter spin, the finger roll, and grip and hand changes. Then, building on the foundation of skill imparted in the previous movements, he teaches the aerial techniques: tossing your knife into the air and catching it in the open, ready position. From the simple hobbyist to the experienced knife fighter, this video will open your eyes as to what the balisong knife can really do.
