Karambit - Filipino Martial Arts Workshop

Karambit - Filipino Martial Arts Workshop (Eskrima-Kali-Arnis)

Join us for an immersive Karambit Workshop, where you'll learn the art of wielding one of the most versatile and dynamic edged weapons - the karambit. 

The karambit is a special double-edged curved dagger, shaped like a tiger's talon. 

Originally designed for utility and self-defence, the karambit’s curved blade, ergonomic grip and signature safety ring for weapon-retention, make it a powerful tool for close combat and tactical applications.

Come discover the impressive efficiency of the karambit and expand your edged-weapon skillset!

What you will learn at this Workshop:

✅ History & Origins – Explore the karambit’s roots in South-East Asia and its evolution in modern martial arts

✅ Grip & Handling – Practice different grips and transitions for varying ranges and applications

✅ Targeting – Develop slashing, thrusting, hooking skills for different targets

✅ Takedowns – Learn how to use the karambit for weapon-assisted takedowns

✅ Safe Practice & Application – Work with training karambits under professional guidance (no live blades will be used at the Workshop)
