Well, we are done with the Gunting seminar in Spokane and are now processing all of the new information Bram shared with us. It's different every time. There is so much that can be done with the Gunting I am sure it would take twenty seminars to see it all, but by then the number of applications would have tripled and you would need to see sixty more!!!
But the beauty is you don't need to invest that much time to become proficient, not at all. The basic K.I.S.S. concepts can be learned very quickly and with responsible practice will put you in the place to be effective with it early on. What a tool. It's proving itself on the street already.
I know that everybody says that about their weapon, their system, their whatever. With the Gunting it is true and Bram is the surety for that statement. He would not teach it if it wasn't real.
So my advice is run, do not walk, to the next seminar you can get to, buy the tapes, get a drone use this thing after you are shown the basic concepts and you will fly. You will develop your own techniques, it will make the ones you know work better. It works with everything you already know, even if all that is is flinch and cover. Hint: get your drones NOW, demand is about to go through the roof folks, and they may be hard to find for a little while, do not wait.
Sal, as usual you show your genius in bringing this knife into the Spyderco family. Thank-you for all the great things you have done for us out here who love and use folding knives. Your are a true pioneer in steel. Get ready to make history yet again; I think you may have just struck land in the new world. I believe it.
Frank, thanks for hosting the seminar. All of us have benefitted so much from your generosity and your immense knowledge in the use of the Gunting. Thanks to Lotus Martial Arts for the use of your facility as well.
Steve (ya, you the big guy from Warrior North), the round house counters you taught us were awesome. You made me dance like a puppet! Hope we get to do it together real soon. Well, at least as soon as my bruises go away.
Bram, simply thank-you. All words of gratitude would be insufficient, so I will leave it at that. You inspire me, man. The Gunting IS on its way; you can't stop steel with flesh, remember?!!
