What's going on guys black Scout survival and today we're going to talk about machete fighting machetes or a great survival tool they can do a lot of different things building shelters you know in a lot of third-world countries this is the only blade that they use you know for all their tasks I've been to various countries where they'll use this.

For agricultural reasons using for trimming bushes and all that kind of stuff the benefit of this is pretty much you can have it anywhere you know so you can't walk around town with it but you can have it in your vehicle and stuff like that in this great defensive weapon it has a huge blade it's very thin very quick has a good reach on it you know so.

You can be far away from your attacker and stuff like that and I just want to you a quick story about I was in Costa Rica last year and I mean my wife were walking around town and you know countries like that sometimes you can you know be taking advantage of criminals try to rob you and stuff well there was a guy following us you know.

For quite some time and I started you know doing my you know counter a surveillance type deal trying to lose him but he still kept following me so at that point in time I seen a little market and I went in bottom a shady machete was like five dollars walked up and bought one at that point in time I'm walk around machete he immediately.

Leaves the rest of my trip down there I carried a backpack and carry my machete in the backpack so I was safe in a country that you can't have a firearm but I had a way to defend myself and you know it's just a good reliable survival tool as well as self-defense tool and so I'm go over a template a blade template for machete this is similar to a lot of.

Kali templates I did make some minor changes to it but I just want to show you guys how this can work for you and your training so I'm going to the template now this temple is just a list of strikes that you can practice you don't have to do them in sequence but the sequence is a good way to remember them and train them first off we're.

Going to go number one so number one slash cross body slash then come up number two which is the opposite cross body slash then a three is a directly horizontal crossing slash for another 1/5 is a stab then 6 is an overhead strike from 6 you're going to 7 which is a diagonal upward strike 8 and then a stab is 9 and then a reverse stab.

Is 10 so it should go 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 now this doesn't have to be like I said in succession this is just a training template for vital areas of the body so you could go let's say you know you could pray this various combinations you could go one to a eight to a three to attend whatever you want to do and just practice those various angles and.

This will give you a lot of you know striking and fluidity of fighting and keep your blade in motion something like a machetes super thin so super fast and you can train this with a stick if you want to so if you don't want to train with a live blade which I wouldn't recommend it you can train with a stick and do these same motions and be a lot.

Safer you know but the machete like I said is a great tool you can fight with duel machetes if you want to you know you can train with sticks and do the same thing and just a very serious tool and weapon and just keep flowing and practicing and eventually you'll get good at anyhow guys hope you enjoy this video make sure you scrub to our channel.
