Two philosophies i remember from my training. One "in a knife fight one of you is going to the hospital the other is going to the morgue". Two "when you get sliced/stabbed reach for your weapon and not your wound"
.The one single most important statement you made comes to this: "It's who strikes first...". This is a fact. This is the difference between living or dying. Being the Victor or the Victim. Fight first, fight fast, fight dirty ... just do it. But never bully anyone. Never harm another who is innocent. Never hurt anyone who is not an imminent threat to you.... lest you fail and fall
I'm a Gorkha from Nepal.That's my weapon and thats my pride ,everything else in this video is true except-it's not called Kukri, instead,it's called KHUKURI.Also We do not cut cow or bulls coz it's against our law and religion.
+Jeff Chen sirupati have longer slender shape which makes it lighter and faster good for path clearing in jungle/..the angkhola are shorter and have a thicker spine good for chopping wood/..my choice khukuri for the jungle is a long and slender kukri like the sirupati khukuri but buy one at Himalayan imports thy make them with the best weight as in pounds but are more expensive but its up to you not me. Glad to help:)
My dad was in Burma during WWII. He remained in awe of the Gurkhas, who fought along his side, his whole life. He told me many stories about them, including the ceremony where they take a cows head off. He gave me the Kukri he brought back, but it was, unfortunately, stolen. He also used to speak of the Kachins, Burmese natives who were fighting the Japanese Occupation. Didn't want to mess with those guys either.
According to the civil code for Nepal, the punishment for killing cows and oxen is 12 years in prison, six years in prison for being an accomplice in killing, two years in prison for causing injury to the animals
He forgot to say ,always keep your blade rusty so if the cuts don't ki//, your opponent the rust will get him later by poisoning the blood stream and heart with delayed death cut techniques.
The Gurkhas are a much loved and respected regiment in the British play of fearless brave I have been lucky to have known some British army Gurkhas and they are good friends and loyal and I would not insult by saying mercenary
Restoring one just right now. It's a "tourist" blade but from the 70's or so. So, not "that" bad. It has been mistreated along the years, but I will give it a second birth. 🙏
The good news is I doubt this man has ever killed a chicken much less a cow, and neither with either of those kukri... The condition of them make me cry.
A light weapon? Surely they're about as heavy as knives get. Mine feels like a tomahawk when you swing it, but it is larger than the ones he's using to be fair. I could nearly use mine two handed, and I'm not a particularly small dude.
I have been following Mr. Vandenberg for a long time and this video is taken out of context and edited from a documentary “March with the Devil.” In the documentary, he was talking here about his Gorkhali Khukuri teacher who is a Christian not a Hindu and married to a Christian Karen woman in Burma. He was not talking about all Gorkhali who in general are Hindu and don’t eat or kill cows but worship them. He served in FFL best unit the 2rep with ex special ops and elite soldiers from all over the world and many Gorkhali too. Some of the Serbians who served with him are now part of the Pink Panther diamond heist gang. He is truly a unique individual and to me he is just being respectful here to his teacher in Burma and other Gorkhali he served with in the Legion. Respect for this warrior for me. Lead Dispencer.
the brits found these guys charging at them with just a kukri in hand in the 1800s these nutters held off a british platoon the brits didnt win instead they offered them a job as mercenaries for them if the brits have one of the most ferocious armies and they hired these guys even today that goes to show u how deadly these guys truly are respect them because the enemy did multiple times . straight up bat shit crazy

BAD@SS Mushin (無心; Japanese mushin; English translation "no mind") is a mental state into which trained martial artists are said to enter during combat. They also practice this mental state during everyday activities.
I was curious about Vandenberg's background so I rented his bio documentary called "March with the Devil" on Amazon. It was very intense and gave deep inside into the modern mercenary world and French Foreign Legion. Scary thing is he probably used those knives on someone in his past.
@@naveensingh_0735 part of being a brat is thinking killing someone is cool... You're more edgy than a Kukri, yet nowhere near as sharp as a butter knife, aren't you ?
I don't know anything about Mr. Vandenberg. I've never heard of him before, and this is the first video I've ever seen of him. My initial thought was that his eyes say "He's not afraid to die" And then he started talking about "the state of no mind", and after these 3:43 minutes, I'm inclined to think I'm either psychic, or he's leaning towards the real deal. I'm very interested in learning how his fighting style can be "exceptional", and at the same time more open and arm-flailing than Al Harrington's Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tubeman Emporium and Warehouse.
The kaudi prevents blood from running on the blade yes indeed but is also used to inflict a small cut on the young gurkas hand when the blade is handed down him. If you ever get the change to bevriend a gurka, he will most likely show you his kukri but he surely will first draw a little blood with a nick on the thumb. There is short and long khukri and they are a lot lighter than the one that spends 5 years in the french foreign legion elite 2 rep unit needs to try to be cool wankers they just are bad ass soldiers. Ronin.
Kukri are very sharp and very light? No sir. They're not meant to be very sharp, and they're rather heavy. The concave part of the edge is very sharp, but the convex part isn't.
Traditional khukuris weigh less than 5 pounds. You have a tourist khukuri made to feel heavier because, we Americans instantly assume heavy is better. It's the shape of the blade that gives it the power.
Hi This man has some proper moves whit two knives, this is not a walk in the park. I work in a triangle technic with one knife, in the beginning it was hard. Can't get my head around working with two. In my book it's a great video. And yes it's tools not museum art that needs polishing all the time. Do average Joe knows what blood does to steel? Specially spring steel as the original kukri is made of, it will oxide in an instant second. That's all pease / P
My knife the Cold Steel Natchez Bowie VG1 San Maii III is the choice weapon over this knife. Can this knife be rotated 360 degrees in an open hand? The balance must be shit. Draw that knife through the zone of your check hand. Not gonna happen cause the balance is not there. I practice with the Natchez Bowie and it will terrify you. I can take your life in a single swipe.
Gurkhas fight in first and second world war and even today for the british empire. Yes thats right ! BUT most of the storys from the Ninja style fighting without a gun just come with a knife behind enemies line and cut head of .... thats just legends. Nothing than legends ! In fact such things never happen ! The gurkha knive is just like a useful traditional momory but not a real weapon for fight in the war.
Rusen rai I talked about this kukri knives in WAR not for home defence. For sure its not a bad knive but did you ever hear that soldiers in modern warfare use swords or Axe ?
@Klaus : yes Gurkhas use the most advanced and latest technology on fight these days but these knives are always on their waists so that they can use when they feel like not westing their bullets.
Yes thats right ! Even normal soldiers wear often Bayonetts but its more a tool than a weapon. Fact ist that Hand to Hand combat situation are very rare today.
To check the power of the khukuri look for the video in the YT. the title of the video is Gurkhas vs the Special Forces of the World and you can see the gurkha chopping off, beheading the special head off in one single strike. but becareful and be warn....very scary.
I cringed so hard seeing the thumbnail, people are using our khukuri and turning it into fantasy sort of weapon lmao if you cut us we'll bleed too wtf people are turning us into mythological beings, we are peace loving people remember buddha was one of us we want peace not war
Don't used bad word for Khukuri if you wont to know about Khukuri just fight with Gurkhas than you will know about khukuri still Gurkhas dos't need Gun
The kaudi prevents blood from running on to the blade yes indeed but is also use to inflict a small cut on the young gurkas hand when the blade is handed down to him. If you ever get the change to bevriend a gurka he will most likely show you his kukri but he surely will first draw a little blood with a nick on the thumb. There are short and long khukri and they are a lot lighter then the ones that are made for the western market and yes for all the warriors on here no one that spends 5 years in the french foreign legions elite 2 rep unit needs to try to be cool wankers they just are bad ass soldiers. Ronin.
Nice moves, I just had 2 Khukuris made, both are the M 43 styles, one is 13" long and quite thick, a little heavy to carry all day long, so I had the 2nd one made smaller, 10", and 7m/m thick, white/cream bone handle, the other one has black buffalo handle, both are 5160, your right, the Khukuri is my favorite too.
U use khukuris to chop off a goats head. Use 1 hand with medium force to chop off a chickens head. Use 1 hand with full force to chop off a goats head. 2 hand + a large khukuri and full force to chop off a buffalo.
the notch at the beginning of the blade near the guard is made to stop blood from dripping all the way to the handle and making the handle too slippery in combat to a point where the user could actually loose it they would have no interest in making their finger bleed because it would also spread blood on the handle causing the very same problem
Nobody actually knows why the Cho is in the blade. there's a lot of speculations on the origin, but I have no steady belief one way of the other. but it's not a true khukuri unless it has one.
As an edged weapon lifelong student, I can see these are probably the ultimate weapons to take into a knife fight. But you simply cannot carry these around in case of self defense...if you ever had to use them and then explain yourself subsequently in court, you are going to look like a complete psychopath. Its a shame because they have huge advantages as far as edged weapons go. Defending against a regular blade is already incredibly difficult, with the way these blades curve forward and the tip heavy balance and associated velocity of the mass.....most defense techniques are going to come up fairly short. Also, those Kukri blades are far more shatter resistant than the usual steel we are used to seeing in sub 1,000 dollar edged weapons....that is because they are hand forged using old leaf springs from amiercan cars...and you can imagine how strong that steel must be to begin with...and then after hand forging over and over...its damn near the closest thing you can get economically to an ancient Japanese sword.
Paulie, and others looking at this video, be very careful if you try to imitate what you see here. He might be able to get away with flicking around two blades, but frequently violates a core principle of kukri combat in not respecting the safety zone. Example being in minute 2:22 where he is making a deep long diagonal cut down with his right. It is heading toward his left knee. Should clear this by stepping. In answer to Jeremy, yes, they are more typically used singly, not in pairs.
Forget that. He was in the FFL, but builds on stories that are fake when questioned deeper. Example? he writes that they drove at night without headlights and heard crackling. When they switched on the light, they saw it was dead bodies on the street. Who can drive a car through foreign jungle or city if they can't even see the bodies on the road because it's so dark? Just like the story with the Kukri. As a Belgian and French soldier, would he have had a kukri with him? In addition to the combat knife? Ridiculous. No, he writes the stories to stay alive because otherwise he's only a C-class actor. What he really did there, for example the gigantic jump off the shoulder of a comrade in Mont Luis, is just not enough.
That is a tool that is used is all. A little tarnish will not harm the blade. And the blade is nothing more than a tool that can be replaced. It is the mind that is the weapon
Khukuri is our wepon.Nepal's we pon who said that British use it.I learn gorkha khukuri and your tecnises are wrong,and a khukuri is not polishied🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆😹😹😹😼😼😼
Prima vince/prepara la tua mente ( solo per difesa ) ... Eventualmente la "lama" (corta ,lunga, tattica,....)che rimane un attrezzo nelle tue mani . Ricorda ! Ex. Parà Folgore 8"BT Leoni.
Kukri notch isn’t for blood and other fantastic stories. Absurd. It is a symbol of Shiva plus fertility and the reminder that sacred animals like cows etc plus women and children cannot be killed. It isn’t even really sharp. Also it is a shape of cows footprint. Enough to look at the historical sources . Those are not Gurkhas techniques at all. It looks like some sort of karate.

Don't used bad word for Khukuri if you wont to know about Khukuri just fight with Gurkhas than you will know about khukuri still Gurkhas dos't need Gun
Great Presentation!
🤣
The kaudi prevents blood from running on to the blade yes indeed but is also use to inflict a small cut on the young gurkas hand when the blade is handed down to him. If you ever get the change to bevriend a gurka he will most likely show you his kukri but he surely will first draw a little blood with a nick on the thumb.
There are short and long khukri and they are a lot lighter then the ones that are made for the western market and yes for all the warriors on here no one that spends 5 years in the french foreign legions elite 2 rep unit needs to try to be cool wankers they just are bad ass soldiers. Ronin.
That's original khukuri on your hands but how
this is a joke...right?
No way, man. I cut the heads off cows with my pocket knife all the time. For good luck.
I hope so, but I don't think so.
no its true with one swift swing towards the neck of a water buffalo with my butterknife the head comes rolling off
Go pick a fight with a Gurkha armed with only his Kukri and find out! I guaranty you won't live long enough to tell about it!

I'll bring my sword. I think I'm gonna be fine :)
Look up How to kill buffalo in Nepal. It's right here on TH-cam kids! But I warn you it's brutal!
Nice moves, I just had 2 Khukuris made, both are the M 43 styles, one is 13" long and quite thick, a little heavy to carry all day long, so I had the 2nd one made smaller, 10", and 7m/m thick, white/cream bone handle, the other one has black buffalo handle, both are 5160, your right, the Khukuri is my favorite too.
"The fear of God" you mean Gods?
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
@@Isaiah-ft5nx 3 persons in one. Aka holy trinity
U use khukuris to chop off a goats head.
Use 1 hand with medium force to chop off a chickens head. Use 1 hand with full force to chop off a goats head.
2 hand + a large khukuri and full force to chop off a buffalo.
A little information concerning the martial artist appearing in this video: - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominique_Vandenberg
Buenos dias podrias enseñar como dominar el kukri paso a paso
Como luchar, trucos etc
the notch at the beginning of the blade near the guard is made to stop blood from dripping all the way to the handle and making the handle too slippery in combat to a point where the user could actually loose it they would have no interest in making their finger bleed because it would also spread blood on the handle causing the very same problem
Nobody actually knows why the Cho is in the blade. there's a lot of speculations on the origin, but I have no steady belief one way of the other. but it's not a true khukuri unless it has one.
it is a clitoris
As an edged weapon lifelong student, I can see these are probably the ultimate weapons to take into a knife fight. But you simply cannot carry these around in case of self defense...if you ever had to use them and then explain yourself subsequently in court, you are going to look like a complete psychopath. Its a shame because they have huge advantages as far as edged weapons go. Defending against a regular blade is already incredibly difficult, with the way these blades curve forward and the tip heavy balance and associated velocity of the mass.....most defense techniques are going to come up fairly short. Also, those Kukri blades are far more shatter resistant than the usual steel we are used to seeing in sub 1,000 dollar edged weapons....that is because they are hand forged using old leaf springs from amiercan cars...and you can imagine how strong that steel must be to begin with...and then after hand forging over and over...its damn near the closest thing you can get economically to an ancient Japanese sword.
Seattle Flyboard when the apocalypse starts I’m duel wielding kukri’s
Um. Corroded blades? Dude! The bull sacrificing kukri is a lot bigger than the standard issue one.
True!!!!
love ghurkha love khukhuri but this is lame
Polish the blade like your soul. Free of imperfections. O' Maha Kali accept my offerings!
the background music sounds familiar. i think i heard it in AVP game from 2010
Can this kukri cut the cheesiness of this dude?
Also I'm calling bullshit on cutting a cow's head off with those blades.
This guy is on some shit bro.
i agree with the part of the mind 2:20 i think it that way to pj from P. T. K.
Paulie, and others looking at this video, be very careful if you try to imitate what you see here. He might be able to get away with flicking around two blades, but frequently violates a core principle of kukri combat in not respecting the safety zone. Example being in minute 2:22 where he is making a deep long diagonal cut down with his right. It is heading toward his left knee. Should clear this by stepping. In answer to Jeremy, yes, they are more typically used singly, not in pairs.
very well done
Chance favor the prepared mind.
Deep stuff
Cow is a national animal of Nepal..Gorkha dont kill cow or bull.. infact they workship them.
Forget that. He was in the FFL, but builds on stories that are fake when questioned deeper. Example? he writes that they drove at night without headlights and heard crackling. When they switched on the light, they saw it was dead bodies on the street. Who can drive a car through foreign jungle or city if they can't even see the bodies on the road because it's so dark? Just like the story with the Kukri. As a Belgian and French soldier, would he have had a kukri with him? In addition to the combat knife? Ridiculous. No, he writes the stories to stay alive because otherwise he's only a C-class actor. What he really did there, for example the gigantic jump off the shoulder of a comrade in Mont Luis, is just not enough.
What kind of martial artist lets his weapons get all rusty like that?
I'd be ashamed to be seen in public with such a badly cared for weapon, SMH
That is a tool that is used is all. A little tarnish will not harm the blade. And the blade is nothing more than a tool that can be replaced. It is the mind that is the weapon
I think that are just movie props. Cause this guy's just an actor.
John Smith it's blood not rust ,now go tell him what for.
the khukuri is so heavy its no way light at all
This guy couldnt fight his way out of a wet paper bag
uploaded on april 2nd... so im not sure what to think of this
Khukuri is our wepon.Nepal's we pon who said that British use it.I learn gorkha khukuri and your tecnises are wrong,and a khukuri is not polishied🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆😹😹😹😼😼😼
WOW! I didn't know you could learn enough to become a master from Steven Seagal movies!
It all depends on HOW BAD the cut is..... ha ha ha ha..... Yeah, you can live through some cuts, but you will die from others.
They don't sacrifice cows in Nepal coz majority of residents are hindus. In addition to that, Cow is the National animal of Nepal.....
Depends on the Master of his/her blade(s).

I thought the notch on the blade near the handle was to stop the blood from reaching the handle, causing the one using it to lose their grip.
hes not doin it like denzel in book of eli lol
Traditionally kukri should not be used to cut a cow.
Only Bull never a Cow.
it's not kukri it's khukuri plz spell it correct
Kukri notch isn’t for blood and other fantastic stories. Absurd. It is a symbol of Shiva plus fertility and the reminder that sacred animals like cows etc plus women and children cannot be killed. It isn’t even really sharp. Also it is a shape of cows footprint. Enough to look at the historical sources . Those are not Gurkhas techniques at all. It looks like some sort of karate.
He talks the talk
Well...did I just watch a stranger side of Anton LaVey😬🤔
No sé usa de esa manera el kukri se usa con el filo hacia abajo.
This guy is just an actor. If you look him up some of his movies are on youtube.
Telly Pea I susspect he also has a lot of movies on HOMOtube
Telly Pea He was actually a sniper and explosives expert in the French Foreign Legion's elite paratrooper regiment, an avid martial artist AND actor. This guy is the real deal.
Yep i have google also dude. I was referring to this video not his life.
sounds like fallout music XD
i would call it the water blade by how smooth he moved with the blade
