Piper System - South African Knife Combatives
The Piper System is a South African knife system. Interesting stuff and the video looks reasonable. Get past the Dork Ops, Skullz R KewL!!!11 type marketing and it looks very FMA-like to me, although it is apparently based on traditional African systems.
I wonder why the choice of such an unusual video format. They know the user is going to be viewing this via their webste so why pic a format for mobile phones? The video shows production so it is not just lifted from a phone. The only thing I can think of is that they are aiming for soemone to view it on a small, lo resolution screen for some reason...
I'm also rather dubious about systems which claim a historical precedent but are unable to show either a lineage or documentary evidence.
