Bobby Taboada - Balintawak Seminar- 2018 Slovakia 

Most of those guys are top instructors going hard out, and he is going half speed while chatting... Legend

"You can tell a lot from a teacher by looking at their students."..... And damm, his students are impressive.

Wow! If you pay attention, when he’s sparring with students their movements show muscles bulging, shaking, focusing on speed and strength. He’s doing everything and his arms are just as loose, smooth, effortless and deadly on point! This dude is bad!

Many Filipinos right now are hooked up with Basketball and Boxing neglecting "arnis de mano"

One thing that's very impressive about this man that the uninitiated may not recognize is that it often looks like he's going very, very fast when his student is holding still, which they are. That is isn't to exaggerate the movement, to make him look so fast against a nonmoving target. It's a demonstration of the momentum and control of the strike as intended, for those around to see without the problem of the other combatant flinching or blurring up the movement. The most important part though is to see the absolute control this Master has with this style of teaching. When you can demonstrate a powerful technique at nearly full speed, while inches away, and not bumble into your target, overreach, that's such a powerful thing.

I hope to see you soon GM. I remember my dad who was also a Grand master in Arnis. Gm Helacrio Jerez Sulite Jr. Who passed away last October 23, 2015 . Those moves are really effective, the footwork, hand coordination and etc.. I'm proud to say that I'm a filipino and that is our true filipino martial art and sport here in the Philippines.. God bless you GM..

I got a black eye just watching this video. Damn impressive!

My kind of teacher. Talented, powerful, humble and friendly. Much respect for this man.

When a old man says 'man I am good' at something and smile, believe me he is good.

I wish I’d have listened more to my Lolo trying to encouraged my siblings and I to learn eskrima when I was growing up.

This guy is the best I've ever seen. I would love to be his student.

The speed and skill of this man.....no words💪

This man is 70 this year. Remember that.

In comparing him to other grandmasters I can tell that he is The Real Deal!

Bobby Taboada's style is so practical. I'm glad so many abroad appreciate it. I wish many Filipinos would keep this martial arts system alive.

Proud of you sir, keep representing Philippines 🇵🇭 God bless you from Texas...

I'm a martial artist of Balintawak as well. Efficient, Simple and Practical. The techniques and katas are a mix of different martial arts as well. The stick is basically the weight of your movement. Remove the stick and your hands will adapt with speed and mobility. Making Balintawak formless and unpredictable.

That's impressive, having those skills, Arnis Filipino martial arts, and learning from a master like him could definitely save your life and would be deadly to your attacker.

For a change I'm so glad this was recommended, absolutely phenomenal.... Fitness & Defense Motivation 2020 here we come

I've never seen this before. He is unreal! This is true mastery, he doesn't even look when some of these guys are going full speed! Just a fluid motion! Wow! Blown the hell away haha!!!

imagine how dangerous our "Brgy. Tanod's" would be if they practice this.

Wow! He's pretty fast for his age! One of my dream is to learn Arnis. The defense skill is more than just physical, it's 100% mental.

So happy the beautiful people of Slovakia are learning our martial art, _Mabuhay_ (long live) Slovakia!

Wow! I didn’t even want this be over. I feel like I can watch this for an few hours. Do it even more. Pretty dope..

Wow! His speed & control are phenomenal.

this man is wonderful, I have been a teacher for many years ...

This is some legit stuff. It's not like some crappy training and demonstrations like the teacher was super fast and the students were hitting the teacher in slow motion. In this training, the teacher and students are doing it super fast and with the intention to really hit one another.

this is the most effective form of kali system that ive ever seen.

From the Philippines again!!! Damn great like Pacquio!!!! 👍👍👍

When you disobey Filipino moms... Mom: anak go get my istik (stick)...

You inspires me to get back to my practice Grand master love from India

Master Taboada is a true martial artist. Real martial arts culminate with weapons training because real martial arts is about life and death self defense where the possibility of encountering weapons is a reality. The speed and precision he displays is incredible and his students are excellent. Competition fighters are not prepared for the reality of "Anything Goes Fighting"

That was amazing to watch. He is so fast and unbelievably focused and yet still making jokes!

We're proud to inform that this vídeo was just awarded the prestigious " Best Intro Ever".

That is why this fighting system in the Philippines was regulated to train only those ppol in police and military.. Imagine gangsters are masters of this fighting system or even robbers and murderers... Now think of changing those sticks with blades and knives. The numbers of deaths from this due to street fights was damn so high in the pre ww2 era.

4:18 "damn I'm good!" 😂 I think the left side of my phone is gonna have a dent from having to back the video up every few seconds just to make sense of what I just saw! His sheer power, speed, and agility at his age is awe inspiring!

FMA NEEDS BOBBY TABOADA. He is the best teacher of fma.Such explosiveness and simplicity both as a teacher and as an artist.

I did pakiti tirsa for three years and this has me wanting to restart my training. Very Impressive!

If he took my Skittles, I'd wouldn't try to get them back.

Потрясающий мастер! Даже страшно представить, что в оригинале вместо палки должно быть мачете..!

Amazing skill and speed, this guy lived in New Zealand a long time ago, shame I never had the opportunity to spend some time learning this art before he left our country for greener pastures abroad.

Damn that richard cotteril was amazing. Really put lessons to heart.

practice of this art used to be held in secret but now its all over the world

Love this style the teacher is amazing no words describe. All the students are fantastic keep up the good work.👍😉

CHIEF COACH RICH COTTERILL IS AWESOME .HIS STANCE ,HIS DELIVERY OF POWER STRIKING I REALLY LIKE THIS VIDEO

Incredible. I can only hope to be at his physical level at that age. Respect 🙏

,, this old guy is one of the best in stick fighting, saludo po sir taboada! And the students? Man, they're all great!

very impressive...no words strong master,blessings to all who use his power in right way Om!

Grand Master Toboada is magnificent.... almost effortless.... he is truly remarkable!

The speed of this old man made me WOOOWWW...!!!

As habilidades do Mestre Bob Taboada são impressionantes!!!

If a robbery enters this person's house, they will sympathize with the robbery.

Splendide . Long time I wasn’t fascinated like that .

Dapat ang sport na ito mandatory sa elementary at highschool sa pilipinas ang Ganda ng sport na ito 👍👍👍👍

@1:56 he says , now this is magic and takes it out of his hands....SAVAGE!

Imagine you have this kind of grandpa and everytime he scold you...

Man! The practice looks better than movie fight scenes!!

A true Arnis Master . Thank you sir .

Мы так же в детстве тренировались Сезон тренировок начинался после нового года когда выкидывали елки из них получались самые лудшие палки у нас они были мечи)))))

Excellent video. Arnis de mano at its best.

thank u defence pictures 1967-2018 avec slovakia

This video is exactly why I think FMA is such an incredible art. Ive never been able to take much martial.arts only life and am hoping I an start taking classes soon & I am absolutely looking to learn Eskrima/ Arnis. If I remember correctly fly it was Rural that I read about--being in his 80s on a jitney when 3 young thugs jumped in to rob the passengers. Risal had a thin metal rod and gave the dirt bags such a ferocious beating that they broke out windows to escape. Such a great video guys PLEASE KEEP SHARING THEM.

The hand and eye coordinationis just amazing he is moving just naturally or just by instinct.

It’s like hitting punching blocking at the same time!

I have no words. The speed is incredible. I wish I was there to join. The teacher is so good.

A long time ago I took an Arnis course with Grand Master Ernesto Presas. This is incredible.

Wow!!! I am watching this and being jealous that I'm not there to take it all in first hand. This man is incredible!!!

Damn their fighting looks like straight out of an action movie like ip man

I like how he just laughed it off whenever he gets disarmed by his own technique. His speed is unreal.

We use to this every morning and after class during my school days it is our physical education training back then, I'm 40 now living in🇨🇦 and I still using this martial arts in front of the mirror using PBC pipe

Just, Wow.

Good to see you still practicing sir. Wish cherish our talks.

That tough old boy could easily beat up all those young Martial Artists , and he would not even break a sweat.

When a man smiles like that, you should watch out!

That instructor is badass. His movements are flawless. Like watching an action movies scene.

Gm Sir we are proud of you out there sharing you skills on sticks. The Balintawak Arnis, God bless Sir

Really great video, thanks for sharing. Hope to see more of this teacher.

I lost three teeth in the last seminar.

Que maestro gracias x permitir ver sus videos. Simón desde Argentina

We should encourage our schools to practice this. This is our own culture. ❤️

I remember when I was on high school I trained a bit this self defence.An arnis or called it “Kamagong”It’s fun.

WHEN I WAS A GRADE STUDENT OUR PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER TAUGHT US OLISI OR ARNIS BUT ONLY FEW WHO WERE FOCUSING AFTER MATURED

Extraordinario, sou apaixonado por lutas, defesa pessoal. Amaria aprender

Being a filipino i learned this the hardest way, normal my friends and i went to the river and start training using this method of martial arts. The river helps to train our foot work because when your on the water you move slower and you will push yourself to move faster. I love arnis there's a lot of movements involved and mind control. You gotta be focused and fast learner so that you will learn the movement of your opponent, and be ready to attack with full speed.

Proud to see our own martial arts being shared to the world.

Langya eto dpt tinuturo s mga brgy tanod hangang s sandatahang lakas e ....

Wow. I will Train this👏🤛🙏

The reflexes in this video is above the roof.

if you slow down the video, his movements aren't even complex. In fact, They're very simple. He just does them with masterful precision with no wasted movement.

With sticks this Martial Art is deadly. With knives it becomes deadlier.

Definetly a master of his art scary how deadly with asticks

very impressed by this guy. Strong , quick and his students seem to trust him

Ang galing po ninyo. Sana palawigin pa lalo arnis sport ng pilipinas. Sariling atin ito. Proud pinay here.

though it's demo, the swings and counter swings are real. .no flowery and superficial moves. .gm taboada is the delta force and sas combined of stick fighting. .simple, direct, economical yet deadly. .once the art is internalized the motions becomes fluid and non mechanical. .it could only learned through long years of training. .

Damm man that master is fkn quick, Wow

Filipino has so many talents! Very simple people that you can trusted. Very friendly, kind and very hospitable personality

This man doesn’t seem to get winded . Amazing .

2:03 "push dat, push dat, smack dat!" 😂😂

ARNIS - Philippines Martial Arts are fantastic! Grand Master Bobby Taboada and Grand Master Rodel Dagooc are awesome! Many Pacquiao are wonderful in boxing. He is also Pilipino. I'm a lady, but I like watching manly martial arts. I like a man who can fight and protect me.

This is a beauty to watch
