Tha advantage is the reach, hook, and force. If you’re going to hit someone to kill or disable, the shock of a blow from a sharp blade plus the concentrated mass of an axe head bringing a powerful impact can stun. While swords are romanticized in pop culture, remember that for most of human history, the ability to attack from a distance was an advantage. By putting a blade at the end of a stick or pole, you could create massive force on whatever you bring it down onto. Warhammers, Spears, axes, etc. all had this effect and were used from everyone from the ancient Israelites to the native Americans to the armies of Western or Central Europe. Swords are very regal and popular in tv and film for that reason, but long sticks with axe heads on the end were weapons of war you would reach for first.
Hello and thank you for the demonstration, If I may ask 3 questions: 1. Which backside (pol) is better for fighting? The hammer or the spike? 2. What size hawk is better for fighting (The Eagle Talon, fullsize Shrike, or s13 small shrike?) 3. In your personal experience what do you think would be the best all around all-use hawk a civilian could use in everyday life. (Carry, woods, urban, self defense, natural disaster etc.) Thank you
I really like the eagle talon for all around use. If you’re really concerned with having a good tomahawk for all-around purposes, I recommend a full metal construction rather than the cheaper plastic or wooden handles. The eagle talon from RMJ is basically unbreakable.
@@GuroJeromeTeague Thanks for your response, what is that makes you like the Eagle Talon for all around use as opposed to the shrike you used in this video (or other models you have tried)?
@@ThePeaceMaker09 I have the RMJ Eagle Talon. I like the overall size as it is a little bigger than the shrike. I used a shrike trainer in this video because that was what RMJ gave me to play with. LOL
Anyone notice hes moving at 1/4 of 1 mph. Thats .25 MPH. The person trying to kill you is NOT going to stand still so you can slice him 5 times with your hatchet. It will be fast and brutal. More akin to berzerker style in a real attack.
what's your opinion on the Spyderco warrior hawk? is it a legit FMA weapon or is it just a mall ninja prop? I'm considering purchasing one but I'm unsure of its viability in a self defence scenario due to its short stature
i dont get why he attacks the weapon and not the arm, a good hit to the arm immobilzes the arm and theres little to no chance that the opponent can use this injured arm again in this fight (or never ever again tho)
I saw one problem. I do not think you are going to catch this guys stick at full speed. Also the fight you always win is not hard training. I know you are demonstrating how to use the weapon, but it would be better training if you showed how to recover from misses and broken fingers during these demos.
Well you have to realize that he’s not going full speed either, the first exercise should show that. Demonstrating at full speed with contact would hurt the other guy.
@@alexc5243 I get all you are saying. However, in the second drill he is demonstrating catching a rattan stick and then using the tomahawk. The problem is if you train to catch a stick with bare hands in training you will try it when you are not training. So how fast does a guy swing a stick? How much force is generated? And how is a technique that will get your hand broken a good choice? All I am saying is train for reality.
you couldn't move a real hawk at that speed or change directions that fast, since its so much heavier, I like to see you move that fast with a real hawk, no disrespect
You can move it that fast, but not with much control.... But control does not matter in the fight. Just accuracy and violence of action. I regularly train my Eskrima with iron wood sticks so my grip strength and arm strength is good. Also, my real hawk is an RMJ Talon. It is light and very well balanced. It is one continuous piece of steel with a textured handles riveted on. It is built to be faster than the cheaper steel head and plastic handle hawks most people have.
When you practice with bladed weapons youll which technique you would apply. Ofc he wouldnt grab the blade. This is a demonstration of using a tomahawk vs a blunt weapon. Im sure if the opponent had a blade he would revise the technique
worst thing about "tutorials" like this is they are no way near reality. Real fights are up close, unprepared and at a disandvantadge. Teach that instead.
Don't forget the tueller drill. Basically, handguns are good at short range, not 'get OFF OF ME' range. Alternatively, why choose? Handgun in dominant hand, axe in non-dominant hand?
Looks great but in actual combat you’ll never be able to pull half that off. Great technique, lot of good content. Just with real conflict I have come to find out the Tomahawk gets hung up in fabric and material and gear and tactical vest and stuff great tool though save my ass many times.
Was thinking of using these applications for Chinese Damo Cane or just a Cane in general.
Your going pretty strong with your partner there.
Awesome video. Wish we had some classes like this where I live :(
US ARMY RANGERS should learn from you & apply this with their Tomahawk.😍😍😍😍
That guys arm is going to hurt after all the racking you did to him with that hawk. lol
I see the advantage of a hawk is the hooking part. And since it's also a consider a tool too it's a very versatile weapon to have.

Really amazing! Feel sorry for poor Andrea...! How long does it take to learn that?
Start with a slice to the manbun please.
shut your bitch ass upp
This is very nice stuff, thank you.
Id like to see those disarms on a live machete not exactly aplicable but cool to watch the strikes would work though
Thank you for the lesson :)
What model tomahawk is that is like to buy the exact one he’s using
RMJ shrike or krestrel

True i think sami is way more realistic
Facts!!!

This is beatiful dude
After watching this I'm glad the fillipinos are on our side
The two that thumbs downed this are fools.

Its an application if you react late and the stick is already flying towards your head
Very nice video sir
You did a great job with this video. Is very nice display a skills!
Extreme violence usually wins.
Gotta sign up for classes
very nice

EXELENTEEE...GRACIAS
Have you ever practised with a double bit?
More please?
Hey. Which RMJ Hawk are you using?
Eagle Talon
It isn't an Eagle Talon, it's a Shrike trainer.
i think u get a shrike trainer when u buy a Talon
you couldn't move a real hawk at that speed or change directions that fast, since its so much heavier, I like to see you move that fast with a real hawk, no disrespect
You can move it that fast, but not with much control.... But control does not matter in the fight. Just accuracy and violence of action.

Good technique. I like your style much more than doug marcaida. this is how u fight with tomahawks.
Sounds good until he grabs his opponents knife blade thinking it’s a stick
When you practice with bladed weapons youll which technique you would apply. Ofc he wouldnt grab the blade. This is a demonstration of using a tomahawk vs a blunt weapon. Im sure if the opponent had a blade he would revise the technique
Drunk Anonymous it’s called muscle memory. What you do in training you will also do in real life.
This is cool
the poor guy lol
Or... you could just aim for the head and finish your opponent?
worst thing about "tutorials" like this is they are no way near reality. Real fights are up close, unprepared and at a disandvantadge. Teach that instead.
I prefer the 1911 185grn jhp double tap move but you can keep your hatchet.
Don't forget the tueller drill. Basically, handguns are good at short range, not 'get OFF OF ME' range. Alternatively, why choose? Handgun in dominant hand, axe in non-dominant hand?
Just subd
Fucking effektiv
I should training with hammer first to streghten my wrist
Not sparred much? Good hooks anyways.
Strwf - if you have to finish a sentence with no disrespect you should perhaps have chosen your words more carefully
Here i chose my words more carefully, shut up bitch
This doesn't look realistic to say the least
😮😅😮👏👏👏⭐️🥋💪

Showin off isnt the same thing as demonstrating....slow down...noone knows what your doing besides you
And we’re supposed to pretend you two are not husband and wife? You’re going way rough with this little nga.
