24 Levels of Butterfly Knife Tricks (Balisong): Easy to Complex
Вставка

- SAFETY DISCLAIMER: Talent is a trained expert at operating these knives. Anyone who is not a trained professional and is learning to operate these knives should only use a dull trainer knife to prevent injury.
Professional balisong flipper Corbin Lovins explains balisong tricks in 24 levels of difficulty. Balisong flipping goes all the way back to the Philippines. The balisong was used in traditional Filipino combative arts, and balisong flipping was used to create openings during combat. Corbin explains how he's mastered balisong flipping, and how you can go from the simplest flips to the most complex.

I like how even this guy has cuts on his fingers and a bandaid on. No matter how good you are at anything, you can always be better and even "pros" make mistakes
Or he was just cutting vegetables
Or has eczema
What’s the point of doing these tricks w an actual edge?
He has a giant scar on his left arm, too, lol.
@@Frank7489 it's more flashy or something
Screw the knife, this dudes ability to execute such a solid explanation for each thing is top notch.
Thank you!
Seriously, explaining stuff without doing it is impressive, even with things I know well I'd still be like "uh, just watch hang on" lol
@@bombarded15 the guy is probably reading his script off a monitor behind the camera. He obviously knows his stuff, though.
@@guerilla_food quite possibly but I dunno, I caught once or twice when he had to look down at his hand (I'm guessing imagining the movements) to confirm which finger or movement is next. Would think if he was reading a script he wouldn't need to do that
@@djwolfie14 did you ever have to do an oral presentation with palm cards? You wouldn't look at them the whole time. You're looking up and gesticulating periodically to not sound like you're reading directly off the cards. That same principle applies for using monitors/teleprompters. Source, worked for local broadcaster for 8 months.
Nice tricks. Finally master all 24. The last few tricks are extremely hard when you only have 3 fingers left.
guys call the police.
Lol

Never been one to do this kind of thing, but this is my cousin. I’m both proud and shocked to have stumbled across this video just now. Way to go man!
Thanks buddy!
@@lovinsbalis woah its the man himself
@@lovinsbalis what's your favorite balisong trainer?
@@SoldierAndrew it’s a little late, but I would go with the squid industries squiddy B as your first knife
@@lovinsbalis breh. My name is Corbin as well. I've been studying this video for a week and didn't even notice till I read this comment. It's super unusual to find another Corbin out there. Thanks for the balisong tricks, teach!
"Never catch a falling blade..."
5 seconds later
"Now we are going to do aerials."
Ik ur kidding but he meant the blade not the handles
But you can catch a thrown or flying knife. Just not a falling blade 😶😆
A common saying we’ve got in kitchens is “a falling knife has no handle” because we tend to keep our knives as sharp as possible, it’s very easy to cut yourself deep if you try to catch it and fail. But I imagine his knife isn’t nearly as sharp as a chefs knife
@@frederickauer8966 Can confirm, every holiday dinner I spend with a couple I know my buddy Scott has to remind the in laws where the, "normal knives," are. The man doesn't like to let anyone hold the knives he uses.
He means don't catch it when you mess up and lose the control of the knife
I am 100% in agreement with the levels that he proposes, he is a great flipper
I feel like fanning shouldn’t be higher then chaps tho
The only way you could do level 25 is double handed blindfolded flipping
I appreciate that more than you know! Thank you so much!
@@lovinsbalis awesome demonstration man, you earned another sub!
@@mrpwes8342 Exactly what I was thinking! I think it shouldn't even be higher than rollovers.
I've watched dozens of balisong tutorials, and this is the only one that actually taught me something
I appreciate you!
You weren't watching properly then, or you weren't practicing. This video explains a lot and is great, but so are most other balisong tutorials, if you didn't learn anything it just means you couldn't understand it.
Big flips is a great channel if you’re looking for more tutorials, short and simple explanation
try big flips, he has really good, in depth tutorials on balisong tricks
Looks at big flips
I used to flip these all throughout my late teenage years. I never knew any names of tricks or anything. I just made stuff up or modified what I saw in a movie (mainly 80s & 90s martial arts / action films). My friends thought it was awesome and some thought I was nuts but it always made me feel good doing it. Fast forward 25 years, I find myself missing this past time and ended up here. I'll be ordering a couple of trainers and going back to this as a way to de-stress and have fun doing it.
OMG, it's so similar to my own story! Been flipping (with crappy balisongs though) since the very beginning of the 90s, without knowing the names of the tricks. Now years later, I just realized: There's now a huge community of flippers, new tricks that are super cool, and I just ordered a trainer balisong. I can't wait to get back to flipping!
So ? You caught back your old skills ? 😊
Same. I just recently got back into it and amazed of how advanced it has gotten.
can you name some old movies for reference pls😊
@@v1Broadcaster some movies that come to mind are "Big Brawl" (the movie that really got my attention with Balisongs), "Face Off", "Falling Down", License to Kill", and "Double Impact".
I know there's a lot more low budget 80's to mid 90's action movies that have some Balisong play in them but those were just the first few I could remember the names offhand. Hope you enjoy those films and hope you don't accidently stab your foot flipping, while watching them. Lol
i can confirm, this man is a great flipper based off of the fact that i cannot do a single one of these
Start with a thumb rollover, I found after that everything gets easier, like he says it’s used in almost every trick
I can do a helix so that's about where I am
Nah it take some time and you'll get better so keep doing it
Yeah lols he was at blade show balicomp many times
just get one and practice while on the toilet like I did lol
When you fight with this guy, butterflies in the stomach gives it a whole new meaning.
comment of the century here! 100%
Butterfly knives in the stomach😳
Haha real scary lol
i got stab by one of those in the leg and they stole all my stuff let me tell you one thing ... that is a skill that nobody exept soldier should learn!!!
@@mathieuloyer7751 r/thathappened
Hello a passing neurosurgical resident here- i would like to add the left side of your brain actually controls your right hand and vice versa but got your point and independent bidextrous movements is really awesome
dude i commented on his IG and he actually replied back. humble great dude!
I actually also reply on here as well! Thanks for the kind words!
The band-aid on his finger was a really nice touch
touch? injury is not touch
@@tomepsilon whoosh
We know he did get cut while shooting this...
@@Jibi-kun I’m not surprised, demonstrating for a camera (getting the angles) can be disorienting.
It means even a PRO makes mistakes
imagine getting in a fight with this guy and he just starts pulling the level 24 loll
I'd pull my level 24 gun. Let's see who wins.
@@CouchCit I'd pull out my level 24 slippers and just run
@@CouchCit depends on how close the person with the knife is. i think there are a lot more situations where the knife is deadlier than one would initially suspect. everyone i've met who is doing fighting sports always told me getting into a fight with someone wielding a knife is the scariest thing ever, and even as a black belt you should usually just run.
@@CouchCit 90% of the time in a spontaneous melee situation like what most brawls end up being, the knife would win if they know what they're doing. It's faster, more accurate, and more efficient. I've seen people that can pull out a knife and slice your dominant arm with it before the gun is even drawn. Makes it pretty hard to shoot accurate after that or even wield the gun in the first place since it usually ends up on the floor, after that it's pretty easy to dispatch the person formerly holding a gun if their dumb enough to try to keep going.
A lot of the time tricks and flair don't translate into combat knowledge. It might be intimidating and there are people who do both, but they aren't the same thing necessarily. That goes for a lot of artistic variations on techniques inspired by weapons or combat.
I don't think I've ever seen such an in depth and perfect explanation of such technically difficult and dangerous skills
Thank you for sharing your expertise. I have a lot of new tricks to try now. And thank you Philippines for sharing your culture with us.
As a flipper currently stuck on what new tricks to learn, this came quiet in handy... Thanks a lot
A flipper?
flipper.
Wow.
You're a bigger loser than this dude is 🤣

For those just getting into the hobby: he’s right about the different styles. Every single flipper has a different style and by everyone I mean EVERYONE. There’s a reason why there’s no perfect tutorial, but this one was great :)
I agree most people have preferences on what type of tricks they like and dislike some people dislike parabolics or fans. It’s all dependent on what you like. Personal I dislike aerials because I find them boring
Yeah this is my personal take on the challenge they gave to me. There are flippers I'd like to see do it though

Oh thank you for enlightening us that the pro who's been doing it for five years is right. 🤣👍
Also don’t forget not to compare yourself to others. Don’t be like “oh i wish i was like _____ “ it gets discouraging at first but if you keep putting effort in to be the best “you” possible then you’re doing it right.
This is probably the most complete tutorial all in one video I have seen so far! Great job
Thank you for promoting my country’s FMA. You got some very impressive skills! 🇵🇭 🇺🇸 🎉❤

Obviously he has done this a few times. The fact that he can break it down so easily shows you his level of mastery. If you have never tried to teach people, it can be eye opening
few? try THOUSANDS
@@alex-qu7kb 😐😐😐
100% like you can learn something at a high level but that doesn't mean you can teach the same thing. Crazy how that works because you have the knowledge and practice. It's just you can't give that to someone else the same way you understand it.
@@alex-qu7kb absolute cantaloupe of a comment.
@@drdre4397 Meaning?
honestly, it’s more impressive to me that someone can clearly explain each of these tricks and not confuse themselves (let alone the viewers) with the verbal explanation of something that I’m sure has become very largely muscle memory at this point.
YES! So much yes. I'm Filipino and grew up flipping the balisong. I didn't even know those tricks had names. It's just something we watched somebody else do and copied. The "do it like this" method. The verbal breakdown of the techniques involved is very impressive.
yea it’s one thing to perform these tricks, but to also be able to explain them so clearly is very impressive
Yep. I tried to teach my cousin to do the trick once and I just gave up trying to explain and sent him a tutorial video link instead 🤣
I very much appreciate it!
meet bigflips
I'm Filipino and I never knew u can do tricks like these. People here usually use balisong to stab people. :)
Dark asf XDD
Tondo moments
As a Balisong flipper and UA-camr, I can agree that the hobby is a great thing to get into and has an awesome community
Never have I seen 24 levels of ways we can shank someone in style.
Imagine trying to shank someone but you end up doing tricks for them
I love how he has a bandaid on his little finger
And a huge scar on his forearm
Finger count of 10 = win. For now.
A bandaid? He has 3 bandaids, Jesus Christ, he's been doing it for 5 years and still getting gut this much? This hobby is so dangerous I'm shooketh.
@@DemanaJaire ❤️🔥❤️🔥
Funny story how I cut it during filming actually
I like how specific and detailed you are with explaining the tricks. Great resource
I like how wired actually gets someone credible to talk about the topic they’re doing a video about, unlike other channels (watchmojo) that talk like they know what they’re talking about but don’t
I appreciate it!
In case anyone is wondering, the knife he is using is a BladeRunnersSystems Orange Select Replicant w/ Alt blade.
Commonly known as a Tiger Rep
@@daddydankmemes6260 Not true, Tiger reps and orange selects are very different. Orange are more common and less expensive and only features orange and black. Whilst the Tiger rep hasn’t been produced for almost two years and includes white coloring and often better hardware 👌🏻
@@drewbee2024 ah guess i didnt look close, looked like a tiger rep to me
all sold out :(
@@eugenelenskih2885 always...
I like how he starts by explaining the bite and safe handle, then the second trick is a Y2k rollover. This trick brings back good memories, first time I dropped a knife on my foot
Thank you!

Thank you my balisong sensei!
This is going in to my favorite list so i can come back now and then to practice those ive not learned yet.

This trick learned in Philippines
This video is extremely well done. The slow-mo back and forth really makes the movements make sense
I LOVE how Wired did this
I had the opposite opinion. The slow motion and reversing really confused me
@@j45002 thats what i was going to say, the revering the video makes it impossible to follow for me
A++ on the editing for this video. I can't imagine the organizational skills required to put this together.
I've been playing with these knives since I was a child. I'm 41 now, I never knew there were competitions or actual tricks. However, I have a motion or two that I did not see in this video. Amazing content, thanks for the entertainment.
proud to be a member of the community. It is refreshing to see some light shed onto this beautiful passion
I'm with you on that!
Definitely
👍
Same but also pewds has really gotten into it too which is cool to see
@@TrenMonster who?
I feel like flair bartending would be a cool one of these types of videos to see.
Ooh yeah!
Also there are versions of bottle openers for these knives!
Yes. I've always wanted to get into that. That and the science and chemistry required for professional mixology.
I jus started flaring a month ago , learnt about 9 tricks or so so far , its actually really fun n gets me a lot of tips at the bar
i finally did my first rollover. i feel so proud
Corbin's a legend and a legit pro
Here in the philippines there is something people say, when they open the balisong flourishingly, he isnt dangerous. But when he opens the balisong with both hands, thats when you run.
Meaning he means business and wants dugo.
And if he opens with both hands he is…
A noob
@@colbytucker2178 Or a leaf cutter
I'm Filipino. As a kid (before internet), I remember sitting in a bench one summer, watching in awe as a "motorista" (a motorcycle taxi for more remote farming villages with no public transport) showed us tricks with the "veinte y nueve". It's a bit weird seeing it become an international hobby. LOL Even Pewdiepie has one!
It's definitely blown up even since I came in. Batangas definitely has a special place in my heart
@@lovinsbalis you're such a legend, thanks for the tutorial it's really good.

This is what a tutorial video should look like and sounds like. Very clear and clean. 10/10. Pass it on
No this is not a good tutorial for beginners, there are much better video series out there. It's very entertaining though.
“Dude, I’ve had you at gunpoint for 7 minutes now, just empty your pockets alrea-“
“Nah one sec bro just gotta **hyunhh** Chaplin the reverse zero-g double trouble finger bubble into the **hyeaunh** staggered freestyle zen wombo combo **nyuhh** then you’ll be shakin in those boots”
i have been thinking of a name for a trick i made up, it is now called the freestyle wombo combo
Mugger: *pulls gun on me
Me: * Pulls out bali. Blender to aerial to twirl to helix to zero-G Chaplin to thumb rollover to wrist pass

loooool
Purchase advice: if you're going cheap, just stick with trainers. Any cheap balisong is typically not well balanced or constructed, and you don't want a sharp edge on something that is difficult to twirl or may fall apart.
Yeah no brainer, I wouldn't want to use a cheap balisong. It would mean bad joints and bad blade. The parts of the blade could be sharper or duller. Super dangerous
Got any reccomended trainers that are good quality for the best price? I plan on buying one but don't know where to start.
@@PerseusR51 I'm planning on getting a Squiddy Balisong trainer. It looks great imo and I heard that It feels and as well and it's pretty cheap.
Get a live blade first, and get a nice one. It’s unfortunate but and “real” balisong won’t be anything less than 200. Bite the bullet get the knife you won’t regret it.
@@PerseusR51 I do recommend the Marcolo C116, it’s excellent
This vid really helped me get the Chaplan down and I started a week ago :)
just got my first butterfly knife yesterday, and my hand is already bruised and cut to bits. i love it so much already
I’m glad the algorithm put this in my feed. I never knew about these blade tricks but I still watched the whole video. Really neat. Insane tricks!
Thank you!
As a long time balisong collector and flipper I love the exposure that this gives it, it’s not a very well known art form but to me, it’s one of the most beautiful and relaxing.
Oooh what’s in your collection.
I have a Kraken Trainer
A lucha with alu handles
Squiddy B & a few other little crappy things.
thaannk you for this video it's really well explained congratulations ❤️❤️❤️
I flipped balisong too earlier. I remember i started with a cheap 7$ balisong. It was such a trash, often screws falled out, than i used locktite to avoid this problem, than the pins broke, i used tape to hold it together, than one fall and the blade broke into 2 pieces. Than i bought a replicant clone, that was way better but still had a nice amount of handle play. Learned lots of tricks, interesting to see some intermed tricks and harder tricks i know, but i always stragle with a basic ladder. I like thumbrolls fans choker fans, vertical arials. I remember times when i had 20+ cuts on index finger and more on the others but it never stopped me flipping it. Its a good feeling when you make a trick its not that hard, but the way and time it requires to done it the first time can be long. But after you done it once you remeber the feeling, the momentum and its a great thing in flipping. Maybe its time to flip again .
I never imagined a childhood memory being an international hobby... This is so cool
Plot twist, he actually cut his finger chopping vegetables.
Well, at least he cut his fingers, _with style_
Not only is he doing all these tricks, with a live blade. But on top of that he's able to explain them on an incredibly digestible level and then most impressive of all he's able to fail the tricks in the exact manner that he is describing as to show what not to do.
I'm super grateful you appreciate all those small things
Awesome, thanks for sharing
So glad to have been able to watch this hobby and community grow! It’s amazing to see it come into a larger light and get some support!
I would NEVER think such a specific thing has so much techniques behind it
I mean, pen spinning and yoyoing is the same
Inspiring, great vid
You are a balisong master ...professional player...
This is exactly what I wanted to see today ❤

My man!
A great video all together very helpful although I couldn't help but laugh as he explained at each new trick that we are increasing complexity
The fact that he broke down every trick with a well edited video playing on the side makes it so easy to understand. I just started flipping and used to think that no way I could do those complicated tricks but this video totally changed my view of it. Appreciate it
Literally the only thing I would want added to this video is some tracked indication of which side of the blade is the spine during the tricks. Because it looked like the bite edge was hitting his fingers a couple times. Just a red highlight to show how it's moving would have been the icing on the already awesome cake. Seriously, this was amazing.
Yeah that blade in particular is slightly more symmetrical than others so it's hard to differentiate the edge for people who are not too experienced
That's why he always points his wrist down in case the edge is coming towards, you can stop it and end it with a shortstop or a thumb rollover.
Also, the bite handle always has the latch attached to it
this is easy to spot if you know how a 'tanto' blade looks. if you look at the blade while it's static you can see that the edge isn't curved but has a part that changes it's direction. every time you see that, you know it's the bite handle. also, the spine on that little triangle that changes direction at the tip of the blade is curved in this exact model (BRS replicant). now, if you're more experienced, even without knowing the trick, you can guess what handle they're holding because of reflections or how they deal with the momentum.
safety tip: never catch a falling blade
reverse guillotine: catch a falling blade
Well those tricks are no longer safe, no one said so
@@Tacet137 i think anyone can fill in the blank that theres no safe way to play with knives
this commend bud
thanks to Corbin for my new hobby :>
I'm 18, and just realized I've been using a balisong since I was 8 or 9. Kinda crazy how the tricks become muscle memory and once you have them down its no problem to incorporate any basic move into any advanced trick and add your own flair
Everyone has different styles. It's crazy to see we learn the same tricks and they still come out different
As an Octane main, I approve and stand by this video. Thanks, WIRED.
Lol what’s ur rank
@@milyunn1462 I got to Diamond playing Octane. I love just boosting straight at teams and running them over, but players get too good to just do that past plat.

Octane who?
@@Rath460 octane deez balls lol
"How you get out of it is your choice" : Well then, I guess I am getting out of it with fewer fingers than when I began.
Thanks a lot for the tricks
I like that he was able to show some of the tricks done incorrectly. I know it can be difficult to override muscle memory once you’re well-practiced in something.
The blindfold and freestyle doubles is just insane
Super well put together video by everyone involved - I've always found butterfly knives/balisongs fascinating and this video really increased my respect for the equipment and those disciplined enough to do these crazy tricks, good stuff!
Man I love Corbin. He's cool af. Great person. When he won the bali competition I was so happy for him you'd think I won. I like the way he explains what the bali is doing during the trick. When it comes to difficulties my order would be slightly different. But that's expected when your learning some things come easier some come harder for different people. But they're all in the right area at least. Where I really disagree with him (not saying he's wrong or I'm right, it's a difference in opinion) is where he tells you to use trainers when learning. I'm not a fan of trainers. Been flipping for 8 years and have never owned one. Bali flipping is a full contact type sport. If your scared of cuts go play with yoyo's!
I saw the Band-Aid on your finger you really are the champ
I’m more on the intermediate level of balisong flipping. I love how he explained just about everything there is to flipping all in one video
Thank you!
I bought and learned the first 2 tricks on this video with a training balisong a decade ago mostly because of my love of playing the Spy in TF2. Corbin Lovins, I feel like picking it up again and seeing what I could learn next. Nice video.
Pm me on IG! I'd love to teach you stuff!
This video came out on my birthday, i think that's a sign for me to train
Love seeing balisong flipping shown in a professional light! Not the usual asian gangster crap you see in movies.
This is the first vid in this series where I can actually do some of the stuff! I've got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9*, 13*, 15. (*trainer only)
I've been flipping since early 2021 and have learned a bunch of tricks, it's absolutely fun and a great stress reliever for me.
Also a life ender if you mess up 🤣🤣🤣
I have a Philippino, hand-made balisong. Got it in 2015. Crazy how good he is because I'm not nearly that good, but then again I don't practice like it was my career.
I definitely practice 2-3 hours a day haha
I've watched this video so many times before I actually owned a balisong. Recently got one and I'm using the video as my progress bar. Thanks Corbin and Wired
No problem 😏👌 keep up the flips!
The fact that this guy had to memorize all of this stuff is crazy
This barely scratches the surface of what corbin knows. The dude is absolutely amazing.
Hope this video gets some people into the hobby!
Looked it up a bit, sadly these knives are banned to own in my (and many other) countries… even the trainers 🤣🤔
Been flipping 5 years so I already knew everything but it’s still nice seeing balis become more popular
@UCfcn4QPKzuyb2rPzIRvu0tg I’ve cut myself too many times to count because I’ve caught falling balis 😂
