Knife T-shirts

The pics for my knife t-shirts.
The basic concept was to design a knife t-shirt.
Because I love knives and I just haven't seen a whole lot of knife tees for some reason.

Both tee shirts present a type of Kerambit knife which is widely popular in martial arts circles. The knife is centered on the tee like a neck tie that can look good even when some kind of jacket is worn.


Valmont Tee is a Vampire inspired t-shirt.
Featuring a tribal rose background,
Inside the handle ring is an amethyst gem like color.


Platinum Tee is a hip hop bling-bling style shirt.
The Kerambit word is presented across the shirt in a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu kimono gi style.
The platinum color knife features a sapphire like sparkle inside the handle ring.

K4S Book

Knife 4 Street Book
available from Cafepress!

This book is part 1 of the Knife 4 Street series and it focuses on our knife combat curriculum.
Over 50 pages in wire-o binding so that you can leave it open on a particular page as you train.

This book covers street knife combat, Knifeboxing, stick fighting relevance, Kerambit truths, grappling with the knife and more! Contains lots of pictures.

I published this book back in 2007 because I found my knife combat system to be extremely beneficial and know that it would serve the public.

I created this style because I had a dangerous job and I lived in a bad neighborhood. This style was born of necessity.

For 2008 I revised the book because through my teaching experience I was able to make a much nicer and clear package.

And now for 2010 I completely rewrote the book, just focusing on one thing.
Presenting to you a blue print on knife combat.

I'm not trying to cover everything or sound cool. I tell it like it is. No nonsense, no bull crap.
These are my personal tried and tested methods, valuable findings through my own experience that I've developed through hard work. Your getting it from the source.

Thank you for your interest and I hope this book serves you well

Custom Knife

-Thorn
-Pain Wrench
-Choil Guard
-Two Position Lock

The thorn is used to open the knife with either thumb.
When the knife is closed, the thorn can also be used to scratch, scrape, and strike targets.

The curve indent area on the spine of the blade is called a Pain Wrench and it is used for martial arts techniques such as trapping, parrying, inflicting pain and joint locks.

The finger choil becomes a choil guard for safe closing of the blade.

The idea is for the knife to have 2 locks providing 2 locking positions. The 1st one would be a C shaped liner lock that will prevent the blade from moving up or down. The 2nd lock would be a lockback.

The 1st locking position will be at a 45o angle making a pistol grip.
This will allow the blade to deploy slightly faster than normal, because of the shorter distance the blade needs to travel to lock.

Sketch of the knife

This is a knife I designed, inspired by the numerous tactical folding knives that I have studied.

About Us

K4S is a martial arts interface consisting of stick, knife and empty hand.

Like a modern Jeet Kune Do.

Sensei Yasu AKA Wampire
Owner/operator of "The Dojo" San Antonio Texas
Rising Tide Martial Arts Assistant Instructor Austin Texas
Awarded blue belt from Carlos Machado
Assistant MMA coach at TABMOC fight team

Wampire proudly follows the STRAIGHT EDGE life style because to him martial arts is more than just fighting skills.
His teaching style is similar to the backyard type of training that Bruce Lee and Mr. Miyagi preferred.
He founded the K4S system, which looks like a dark vampire ninja blade style but it's really a modern day Jeet Kune Do which has integrated martial arts styles from around the globe.

Knife Combat

The K4S knife combat system is the result when the founder had to apply his martial arts skills in the real world after a hostile security job and living in bad neighborhoods.
Having a realistic yet open mind, K4S successfully combines elements from Traditional Martial Arts, Combat Sports and Modern Martial Arts.


Deployment
We specialize in deployment and usage of a folding knife, flashlight and similar shape items such as the pen. Furthermore we have a method to the madness and a complete training routine to make it real world effective.

Attacking
Our attacks are completely different from the common methods. It allows our training partner to simulate a much more sophisticated and dangerous attacker.

Defense
Some say knife defense is not possible, but we take the subject to a completely new level with a method never seen or used before.
