Employ defensive tactics with the 'karambit' - also known as the 'tiger claw', the karambit is an exotic curved blade used historically by warriors in India, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. This concealable weapon is primarily targeted towards control points such as nerves and joints. Instead of creating wide and deep wounds, the karambit enables a fighter to effectively control and submit his opponent without inflicting serious injuries.
