One of the most common questions I get from students is: "What's the best training knife to buy?"
In today's video, we break down the most popular options used in Eskrima, Kali, and Arnis training, including:
β
Rubber Training Knives
β
Aluminium Training Knives
β
Wooden Training Knives
β
Padded Training Knives
We'll look at the advantages and disadvantages of each type, when they're most appropriate to use, and how they can fit into your training journey.
Not all training knives are created equal. Some are better for technical drills, some for pressure testing, and others for introducing beginners to blade awareness in a safer environment.
Most importantly, we'll discuss why training with live blades is never a good idea when working with a partner and how choosing the right training tool can make your practice both safer and more effective.
Whether you're completely new to blade training or looking to expand your equipment collection, this video will help you make a more informed choice.
