Another video for Black Belt Magazine from my Filipino Kali Series. Please remember this is just a DRILL to learn the various techniques. It is not actually fighting. Just an interesting way to practice and learn. Enjoy.
Hi Guro 😂My name is Juan Rivera from Puerto Rico, I love your work hope to learn more about your teaching. Iam in my 50 an i wish to learn more from you by Please keep doing this Wonderfull job it s the Best i have seen .thank you for teaching. Juan from Puerto Rico.
I've been practicing Silat and Escrima since 1993 and Taiji, Bagua and Xingyi since 2008. I like practicing slow twisting and circling steps with blades. It nourishes my brain and I circulate my chi to stay healthy and massage my internal organs to stay soft and limber. The first thing I would teach someone is how to relax and root and circulate Qi. After relaxing, someone can learn basic Gong Fu!
i practiced with Kanai shihan in Aikido all those joint locks have him attack you full steam only way to learn those locks ikyo nikyo sankyo gonkyo kote gashi shihonagi - one of his longest term students runs providence aikikai
Nice video with options from the hubud. I would humbly like to make a suggestion on the hubud. Please don't take it as a criticism, consider me to be an armchair quarterback. I realize the hubud is a drill as you point out. However, it is a good idea not to open a center line by pushing the hands too far off center. Rather, treat your partners hands like a hot potato. Make it more of a sensitivity drill. Naturally for an application the opponent's hand can be pushed wherever to suit the followup.
Hello from NYC.......do you still have the lockflow video? You had a video posted awhile back where you go from one lock right into another. It was a great video with alot of good little hints to make the locks flow smoothly.
Hello Sir, I still have the DVD. I sell them for $49.95. That particular one is my best selling DVD. If you would like to purchase, just send me info to raffijkd@gmail.com. I take payments these days by check or over the phone cc#. Glad you like the video!
Hello Simon. I am glad you are enjoying the videos. (how about a "thumbs up" on them please) To answer your question, I am not saying "B1, B2". I am saying "Beat 1, Beat 2". Each movement of Hubad is done by count. The catch is beat one, the pass is beat 2, the cover is beat 3. The cc is obviously off. Lol. I hope that answers it for you! Have a great day.
Quite more fluid than pure karate..it can flow towards bixing and grappling and low kicks in clise range..i hope ladies on this time will learn those methods..
I am mostly interested in FMA for the knife applications. However there are a lot of good western fencing skills that can also be applied for knife fighting. I believe based on my opinion of historical facts. My opinion is a theory that is historically accurate. The Europeans, specifically, Spain conquered the Philippines. The native Filipinos had to learn how to use their weapons - knives, swords, spears, sticks vs the antique firearms and cannons of the Spanish as well as the European Fencing. Epee, cutlass, etc... I personally believe the European fencer would defeat and kill a Filipino armed with sticks or even a knife. As the western military epee is a superior weapon to any knife except in a close combat situation. However the Europeans had some good knives. I do believe the Filipinos have superior knife skills over the Europeans. Especially now that Historical European Martial Arts HEMA is basically dead and most HEMA people acknowledge that FMA is pretty much the best stick and knoife fighting. I would say MMA - Muay That, BJJ, western Boxing and Wrestling is the best Unarmed Combat
Hi sir . You are correct with your observation about the locking. I did not invent this. It is a common practice method in FMA. Thanks for your question.
@@raffiderderian Hi. It may be common to mix these today (somewhere?) but introducing a Japanese martial art (Aikido) into traditional Filipino martial arts is certainly not very common in a wider context, and needs explanation out of full honesty and respect for tradition IMO. Understand, I'm not against doing this, infact, as a 4 decade long student, practitioner and now occasional coach/instructor of various combative forms, I have a very fluid and creative approach to martial arts thats neither bound by strict adherence to tradition or forms. It's just I feel we owe it to these traditions and their historical founders, as well as the public to EXPLAIN (clearly state) how we might be modifying or combining these styles and their various techniques. Progress is great as long as we are honestly and knowingly and OPENLY progressing.
@@Wavemaninawe Ikkyo, Nikyo, Sankyo, Kotegaeshi, and he shows a variation of Kokyunage and Shihonage. The way these techniques are presented here is either explicitly (directly) or implicitly (hidden) within Aikido with a slight adjustment Strictly speaking, the "aiki" in "Aikido" means to "harmonize with force" rather than to block it. And so very little of the techniques shown here are actually "aiki" in its purest sense. However, for example, when he shows "Ikkyo" he shows it very close to how one would learn (minus the Hubud entry) it as the "first technique" (Ikkyo = "first technique") in an Akido class or dojo. And so, although much of what is shown here may not be "aiki" itself, and may not even be explicitly presented as "Aiki-do" it's still very much there within the techniques of Aikido. This is understandable because Aikido is derived from JiuJitsu and Aikijitsu (both of these emphasize leverage and opening more than harmonizing. Btw, I have no problem with using Filipino Hubud as a more dynamic method of entering Aikido (Jiujitsu) techniques, I think it creates a more realistic experience for the practitioner.
@@davidmickles5012 Sorry. I have dabbled in a few different systems. But not yet any aikido. So Im not familiar enough to pick spot the techniques by name. I have however come across most shown here, in Fililipino Martial Arts & Silat (which I am more familiar with), as well as seen them used in catch wrestling, ju-jutsu and some southern Chinese styles of Gung Fu. Could it rather be a common ground of conclusions? We all have 2 arms & 2 legs. So there is only a finite set of ways to move. As I gathered from your reply, this doesnt represent the fluid principle of aikido. And likely, it shouldnt. Most South Pacific martial arts to my knowledge, tend to blend hard and soft principles.
If no one fights like the drill in the first minute, but it’s also to drill technique, then what technique are you drilling? If it’s not technique to replicate actual fighting, then why learn it ?
Where is the resistance from opponent in the joint lock flow drill. The counters? It's important to show locks in the drill to learn them, it must be followed by a resisting opponent (counters) I've never been in a violent encounter with a willing participant! Drills I was taught always had an unwilling opponent to show counters & must be as close to reality as possible. That's what I'd like see.
Thank you for your comments sir. This drill is not meant to have resistance. It is a drill to get repetition of technique to learn how to execute them properly. Once once that is accomplished, then you would begin to do other types of drills and exercises with the opponent giving resistance to test the technique. So, while I agree with what you said, this drill is not where it would be practiced
