About Gurkha Kukri Combat
Kukri knife fighting forms the historical core of Nepalese Gurkha warrior training. The curved blade of the Kukri serves as both a devastating slashing weapon and a survival tool. The system teaches lightning-fast close-contact slashes to the neck and limbs, as well as unarmed combat.
