"The exercising of weapons putteth away aches, griefs, and diseases, it increaseth strength and sharpeneth the wits, it giveth a perfect judgment, it expelleth melancholy, choleric, and evil conceits, it keepeth a man in breath, in perfect healthe, and long life." – George Silver (1599)

Mu Ryu Valkyrie Training: Knifefighting

From a martial perspective, this video demonstrates how a stronger small opponent can control a lankier weaker opponent’s knife-arm at the elbow.
I’m also a bit of a relentless jerk during this video. Oops! Sorry.
The song is Quitter’s Raga.


This lunge is pretty good. Slo-mo at 10% speed is interesting. It lets me see the wasted motion in the knife/leg, during seconds 3-5. Needs work. The recovery however (stepping from low extended lunged leg passed the lead leg) is great.
