Balintawak -12 Basic Strikes Of Balintawak 

Most FMA train both left and right. Training your no dominant hand makes your dominant hand even better.

Chamber back the opposing arm/hand brother (so it is ready and can deflect/check/block or strike with power if need be) 🙏

Theyre the same. The only difference are the footworks.

Thank you for watching the video. Balintawak is limited when it comes to videos. Most of them don’t want their material filmed and put on display. And each linage has a different approach to teaching and methodology. What part of the Philippines are you at?

@@CodaCombatives i am from Columbio sultan kudarat. I was a taekwondo practitioner during may high school and college days. I even represent caraga region during my college. I stopped playing since 2012. Now, when i saw videos about this martial art. I want to learn it first so that my coming child will see me doing it and can encourage my child to do the same. I want my child to have this filipino spirit.

@@CodaCombatives by the way thank you so much for your reply. I appreciate it. God bless.

It’s possible but you have to move if you expect to have good defense.

@@CodaCombatives ahahahaha! is it easy for women to learn?

Yes all the techniques are applicable to men and women.

6 is for chest and 10 is for the eye..

No I’m not a beginner, though this was filmed earlier in my Balintawak journey. I was going over what was taught to me by Manong Sam Buot. I am now under GM Bobby Tabimina, he stresses the core fundamentals of random, on target, real time and under stress.

I like to believe predominantly all Eskrima is deadly when you take all the fluff out of it. Balintawak is simple and direct to the point. Some linages teach it differently the popular ones tend to use the grouping system which you learn certain attributes as you progress through the system. The other is direct installation by your instructor and can’t be taught by the masses or on video. Let me know if you have any questions or want me to link you with one of our chapter heads.

@@CodaCombatives well actually im debating to myself on whether or not I should learn kali or this. What is your opinion?

I have experience in both. The style of Balintawak is effective. Don’t fall in the rabbit hole if you really want a combative Art I would check out Balintawak. If you want to memorize patterns and look good go with Kali. This video might help you. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a_GHmyGZe4M.html

This is DAS ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-br6-t7nu-ik.html

Balintawak was found by GGM Anciong Bacon after he left the Doces Pares which he simplified and direct without the twirling and fluff. There are different linages of Balintawak which some emphasis the Grouping system and the other focuses direct teaching of Anciong which was installed to the student 1 on 1. My linage now is Tabimina Balintawak System founded GM Bob Tabimina a direct student of the late Anciong Bacon. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a_GHmyGZe4M.html

Thank you for your reply. So, to simplfy it, das is more to double sticks and single stick drills, on the other hand, balintawak is more to close rang single stick drill, am I right?
