Summary: the 12 angles of attack using an "earth grip." In this grip, the "blade is facing out, the tip is facing down towards the earth. Initial Stance: Fighting stance with the weapon in front. - Angle 1 & 2: Downward diagonal slashes at a 45-degree angle. - Angle 3 & 4: Step back, perform a palm-down horizontal slash, followed by a palm-up horizontal slash. - Angle 5: Bring the butt end of the weapon to the chest, step forward, and thrust to the center. - Angle 6: Reload to the shoulder for an overhand thrust. - Angle 7 & 8: Perform a circular cut towards the opposite hip, followed by a "tsuki te" (stab across). - Angle 9 & 10: Step forward with a level change, executing a backhand strike to the thigh. - Angle 11 & 12: Step back and perform two upward slashes. - During practice "Take your time on them. Make sure to make them very smooth and accurate." - check out the video seminars in Budo Brothers to further educate yourself on knife fighting! - Warning don’t expect to watch a video one time and think that you are ready to use these techniques. It takes months and sometimes years to become proficient at this style of fighting. @Erik Allan @Kyle Mahadeo

We’re going to try to film with everyone you’ve selected. Here’s the plan so far: Dan Inosanto We just spoke with Tuhon Apolo Ladra. There’s a possibility we’ll be traveling to the Philippines with him and Dan Inosanto next year, if everything goes to plan. Doug Marcaida We need help here. I’ll be reaching out to his team via email. Harinder Singh@Erik Allan will be traveling to Texas to meet @Clay Pratka at his school, where they’ll be creating something special for you. Hanshi Greg Duncan @Doug MacDonald has graciously started communication, and we’ll work out a date to film. Benny Urquidez We need help here as well. I’ll be reaching out to his team.

Just a heads up to everyone in the Skool community—there are only a few sets of Purpleheart Kali left. If you’ve been thinking about grabbing a set, now’s the time.

This is a rare inside look into a private DTAC.08 training intensive—captured by the Budo Brothers during a closed session for Law Enforcement and Military personnel. What you’re seeing is not technique… It’s a Tactical Delivery System. At the core is ARC (Adaptive Response Control) and the principle of Tactical Circles—a universal movement method that allows you to: • Control without force • Flow under pressure • Adapt in real time • Integrate striking, grappling, and control seamlessly Built for Real-World Application This system can be applied across: • Law Enforcement • Military • Martial Arts (any style or system) Tactical Circles allow you to: • Move around resistance • Position before applying force • Control outcomes, not just exchanges Proven System DTAC.08 has been taught and tested at ILEETA, where Sifu Singh has been selected 14 times to present, and has been taught to 200+ training officers and agencies worldwide. Built on the principle: State → Strategy → Tactics → Tools Weaponizing Flow This is about awareness, positioning, and execution under pressure— turning movement into flow, control, and adaptability in real time. https://youtu.be/aB1OLtHl_Dc?si=giWxyYfboIGEnYEG
