Screw the knife, this dudes ability to execute such a solid explanation for each thing is top notch.
-
I like how even this guy has cuts on his fingers and a bandaid on. No matter how good you are at anything, you can always be better and even "pros" make mistakes
-
Nice tricks. Finally master all 24. The last few tricks are extremely hard when you only have 3 fingers left.
-
Never been one to do this kind of thing, but this is my cousin. I’m both proud and shocked to have stumbled across this video just now. Way to go man!
-
I am 100% in agreement with the levels that he proposes, he is a great flipper
-
"Never catch a falling blade..." 5 seconds later "Now we are going to do aerials."
-
I've watched dozens of balisong tutorials, and this is the only one that actually taught me something
-
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.
-
The band-aid on his finger was a really nice touch
-
For those just getting into the hobby: he’s right about the different styles. Every single flipper has a different style and by everyone I mean EVERYONE. There’s a reason why there’s no perfect tutorial, but this one was great :)
-
Thank you for sharing your expertise. I have a lot of new tricks to try now. And thank you Philippines for sharing your culture with us.
-
dude i commented on his IG and he actually replied back. humble great dude!
-
As a flipper currently stuck on what new tricks to learn, this came quiet in handy... Thanks a lot
-
i can confirm, this man is a great flipper based off of the fact that i cannot do a single one of these
-
I don't think I've ever seen such an in depth and perfect explanation of such technically difficult and dangerous skills
-
Thank you for promoting my country’s FMA. You got some very impressive skills! 🇵🇭 🇺🇸 🎉❤
-
Obviously he has done this a few times. The fact that he can break it down so easily shows you his level of mastery. If you have never tried to teach people, it can be eye opening
-
imagine getting in a fight with this guy and he just starts pulling the level 24 loll
-
As a Balisong flipper and YouTuber, I can agree that the hobby is a great thing to get into and has an awesome community
-
Legit watched so many videos on the basic opening, and this man explained it better than all of them in 10 second. Thank you
