I’m still weighing in if I want one. What’s holding me back, It’s possibly an attempt attack for thieves with guns/knives to come and ask or take your stuff. I prefer to carry inside the waistband to surprise bad guys if they attempt anything.
these old guys training for 50 years have speed and power that is beyond comprehension. they only look old. they move better and quicker than 20-year-olds.
Omg! Exceptional skills! He is absolutely correct! His leg and feet position put him in a superior position of power ! Wow! He makes it look so simple but realistically it takes a lot of practice!
There are many views of the background... Kali, the word is from HAND BODY MOTION from before Spanish additions of Arnis and Escrima. The Indian influence should be understood and no person can say with finality that the selection of Ka and Li to form Kali was not in honor and auspicious invocation of the Hindu Goddess. Many martial arts denominations have deity references. Balintawak was devised to bring roots of the Filipino Martial Arts into a modern practice emphasizing maximum practicality and maximum transfer to all equipage and situations. The simplification to one stick causes integration of many flows of Kali techniques as well as compatibility to other systems. The stick is not a stick. The Spanish occupancy limited blade use and this led to the stick as a replacement open variable. You gotta' use something to learn; sticks were legal and the tradition stuck because of the beauty of the open variable and how skills transition to empty hand and whatever is around when defense must happen. This video is a very good source. It illuminates hundreds of points in the verbal explanations and in the demonstrations. 20 inches is the general length for children. 28 inches is the general length for adults, adjust for size and preference. There are practice sticks from 3/4 inch to 1 inch in diameter, defense sticks that are heavier to be capable of sufficient effect, these tend to range from 7/8 inch to 1 1/4 inch diameters, and there are practice defense sticks to take the wear of contact training while preserving the qualities of the sticks maintained for critical incident protection. As practitioners progress, a certain devastating efficiency is discovered and many decide Kali herself is involved.
Useful discussion with inset video clips demonstrating points. Clarifications presented about essential nature of joint locking are accurate and relevant. Manner of emphasis of need for distraction by off-balancing, pain or other is a great teaching to dwell on and find ways to bring into training. Similar to using the opponent's energy to prevail, there can be no justified dismissal of the importance of using the opponent's joint limitations to advantage as they expose opportunities. Emergency Room examples are relevant because surveillance cameras have become ubiquitous and in many situations an individual must be controlled safely for a period of time where a variety of applications of law apply. Top two things to notice about this video: 1 - the demonstration of comfortable agility in intuitive manipulation of opponents in a receptive yet strong orientation, and 2 - the communication of knowledge in an attitude of humility that directly avoids machismo.
