A keris is good for defence against a person who also has a keris/knife or is unarmed. If someone has a staff, sword or any heavier weapon your in trouble because you cant block a strike with your keris. If I took a swipe at you with a sword or staff and you tried to block it with your keris it would fly out of your hand. The only way you could win with your keris would be if you were at a much higher level of ability.
