Summary:
Kino mutai is a Filipino fighting style using methods such as grappling, pinching, biting, and gouging the eyes. It is a martial art that defies convention and is not commonly practiced on its own but is incorporated into forms that allow for fighting without limits such as jeet kune do. The aim of using kino mutai tactics is to gain the upper hand over your opponent by any means necessary. It might seem like a vicious and brutal form, but depending on the situation, it might prove to be the only option left for a fighter. In real-life situations, it has proven to be necessary, which is why it is being taught by some martial artists.
