Secrets of the Karambit: Weapons of Southeast Asia Paperback – March 24, 2016

Very useful resource for understanding how to use karambits during fights. I bought this book to teach myself useful strategies for close combat if needed. Provides pictures and steps to assist your understanding. I also bought a plastic practice karambit so that I wouldn't hurt myself while learning.

Nice and easy book with good understanding techniques. I had fun reading it. I hope to learn more from it.

Those looking for information about the karambit but aren't sure where to start this is it. Hope this helps. Good luck.

There is little debate that the Karambit is the most lethal edged weapon in existence. This is by far the best book I have ever read on the subject, and I believe I have read them all. This is the only book of it's kind that illustrates and explains the techniques well enough that you can learn them at home. This is great because very few areas are lucky enough to have a teacher who has mastered this weapon. If you want to learn how to effectively and efficiently neutralize multiple assailants, buy this book.

Very informative. Great price. Purchased as a gift. It was well received.

This book is great, and in my opinion much easier to follow than the dvd series because you don’t need to keep rewinding to watch the exercises again.Edit: the dvds are now available on amazon video (digital streaming), which makes it much easier to watch anywhere/rewind/etc. I do have to say with amazon video availability I am using the videos now more than the book, but the book is still a valuable resource.

Good info on the karambit. Pics and illustrations are good but became too much with all the drills.

Well written & concise volume. I enjoyed the author's point of view on teaching Kerambit, self defense, situational awareness and teaching methodology. The training drills were easy to follow, and using the principles anyone would find in Escrima, Arnis and other FMA made this book a winner. I highly recommend this work to novices and to instructors looking to add another tool to their toolbox of skills.
