24 Levels of Butterfly Knife Tricks (Balisong): Easy to Complex

Рет қаралды 5,362,864

Күн бұрын

SAFETY DISCLAIMER: Talent is a trained expert at operating these knives. Anyone who is not a trained professional and is learning to operate these knives should only use a dull trainer knife to prevent injury.
Professional balisong flipper Corbin Lovins explains balisong tricks in 24 levels of difficulty. Balisong flipping goes all the way back to the Philippines. The balisong was used in traditional Filipino combative arts, and balisong flipping was used to create openings during combat. Corbin explains how he's mastered balisong flipping, and how you can go from the simplest flips to the most complex.

@@CouchCit 90% of the time in a spontaneous melee situation like what most brawls end up being, the knife would win if they know what they're doing. It's faster, more accurate, and more efficient. I've seen people that can pull out a knife and slice your dominant arm with it before the gun is even drawn. Makes it pretty hard to shoot accurate after that or even wield the gun in the first place since it usually ends up on the floor, after that it's pretty easy to dispatch the person formerly holding a gun if their dumb enough to try to keep going.

I used to flip these all throughout my late teenage years. I never knew any names of tricks or anything. I just made stuff up or modified what I saw in a movie (mainly 80s & 90s martial arts / action films). My friends thought it was awesome and some thought I was nuts but it always made me feel good doing it. Fast forward 25 years, I find myself missing this past time and ended up here. I'll be ordering a couple of trainers and going back to this as a way to de-stress and have fun doing it.

@rickyb955 Жыл бұрын

OMG, it's so similar to my own story! Been flipping (with crappy balisongs though) since the very beginning of the 90s, without knowing the names of the tricks. Now years later, I just realized: There's now a huge community of flippers, new tricks that are super cool, and I just ordered a trainer balisong. I can't wait to get back to flipping!

Purchase advice: if you're going cheap, just stick with trainers. Any cheap balisong is typically not well balanced or constructed, and you don't want a sharp edge on something that is difficult to twirl or may fall apart.

@overtheatlas 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah no brainer, I wouldn't want to use a cheap balisong. It would mean bad joints and bad blade. The parts of the blade could be sharper or duller. Super dangerous

Get a live blade first, and get a nice one. It’s unfortunate but and “real” balisong won’t be anything less than 200. Bite the bullet get the knife you won’t regret it.

I flipped balisong too earlier. I remember i started with a cheap 7$ balisong. It was such a trash, often screws falled out, than i used locktite to avoid this problem, than the pins broke, i used tape to hold it together, than one fall and the blade broke into 2 pieces. Than i bought a replicant clone, that was way better but still had a nice amount of handle play. Learned lots of tricks, interesting to see some intermed tricks and harder tricks i know, but i always stragle with a basic ladder. I like thumbrolls fans choker fans, vertical arials. I remember times when i had 20+ cuts on index finger and more on the others but it never stopped me flipping it. Its a good feeling when you make a trick its not that hard, but the way and time it requires to done it the first time can be long. But after you done it once you remeber the feeling, the momentum and its a great thing in flipping. Maybe its time to flip again .

@dennisd1530 Жыл бұрын

Man I love Corbin. He's cool af. Great person. When he won the bali competition I was so happy for him you'd think I won. I like the way he explains what the bali is doing during the trick. When it comes to difficulties my order would be slightly different. But that's expected when your learning some things come easier some come harder for different people. But they're all in the right area at least. Where I really disagree with him (not saying he's wrong or I'm right, it's a difference in opinion) is where he tells you to use trainers when learning. I'm not a fan of trainers. Been flipping for 8 years and have never owned one. Bali flipping is a full contact type sport. If your scared of cuts go play with yoyo's!

Literally the only thing I would want added to this video is some tracked indication of which side of the blade is the spine during the tricks. Because it looked like the bite edge was hitting his fingers a couple times. Just a red highlight to show how it's moving would have been the icing on the already awesome cake. Seriously, this was amazing.

@inksword6029 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah that blade in particular is slightly more symmetrical than others so it's hard to differentiate the edge for people who are not too experienced

@Hesuklista Жыл бұрын

That's why he always points his wrist down in case the edge is coming towards, you can stop it and end it with a shortstop or a thumb rollover. Also, the bite handle always has the latch attached to it

@izumi2165 Жыл бұрын

this is easy to spot if you know how a 'tanto' blade looks. if you look at the blade while it's static you can see that the edge isn't curved but has a part that changes it's direction. every time you see that, you know it's the bite handle. also, the spine on that little triangle that changes direction at the tip of the blade is curved in this exact model (BRS replicant). now, if you're more experienced, even without knowing the trick, you can guess what handle they're holding because of reflections or how they deal with the momentum.
