He presents a sprinkling of history with informed discussions of fighting approaches and numerous training exercises on cutting, thrusting, blocking, and the associated movement of a kukri fight. Recognized as the national weapon of Nepal, the kukri has been associated with the British Army's fearsome Gurkha brigades since their creation. By mixing modern and historical concepts and illustrating the text with hundreds of his highly acclaimed instructional drawings, McLemore has created the first and perhaps ultimate training guide to this unique weapon. The kukri is one of the oldest combat/utility knives in existence today. The unique downward slope of the blade gives the kukri its distinctive look and renowned ability to effect powerful, accurate cuts.In this latest ad

"Be Careful Training These Techniques" according to Bandoeagle. Given the books on several weapons that the author has published and the detail in this book on various ways of engaging the opponent, I will concede that the author probably knows how to wield a knife. However, he needs to spend a lot more time with kukris and Gurkhas before he writes a book about this particular blade. The kukri's geometry, balance and striking power differentiate it from a Bowie knife or a tomahawk. Many of the techniques illustrated herein might work with one of those weapons, but are ill advised with a kukri. Just look at the reference materia. Book Review lui This is a great book to learn from if you are truly interested in implementing the basics of the Kukri into your training. It is not full of traditional things. The author makes it clear the information is based on his years of experience. I recommend this book.. great book! KAH1118 You'll need a training kurkri to go with this book, illustrations are great quality, wish it came in hard back to last longer.
