Chapter 45 Philippines: Guro Dan Inosanto, (Part 2/2): FRANK151 

Thanks Dan Inosanto for promoting Filipino Martial Arts. You are one of the best, if not the best FMA martial artist in the world. What makes you great and so unique is that you incorporated the very deadly FMA style with Karate, Judo and Jet Kun Do of Bruce Lee. I wish you can expand your gym here in the Philippines for our children to learn these combination.

A rare man, a real WARRIOR WITH HONOUR who cares about others and most of all a great example for our children and young instructors BRUCE LEE would be proud. CLASS!

I went to GURU Dan Academy a few years ago and to see him move is amazing . everything he does is with such fluid motion. God bless him .

I love and take great pride in being a student of Guru Dan it has been my life long pursuit in the Martial Arts didn't get my chance, directly until about 1989/90 , I love being a part of this JKD/Filipino M.A./Silat legacy. It's a true honor just to be in his presence at seminars or otherwise.

I think I can probably say that as martial artist Guro Inosanto is probably the best in the world.

I trained and taught several martial arts for over 35 years and almost every time I was introduced to a concept that gave me reason to re-evaluate what I was doing and ask if there was a better way, a little digging lead me right back to Guro Dan Inosanto. "Reference points" are a great example: Whether you're practising grappling, trapping, joint locking or striking, there are positions that come up again and again. Those reference points offer effective start positions for practice and mental triggers for action to apply a technique or switch between strategies. When teaching, you can build drills around them, or you can go into a dojo, show them something completely alien, stop at a reference point and switch to their system and nomenclature, so you can have a class of Aikido students practising trapping and finishing every drill with nikajo, sankajo or kote-gaeshi.

This guy is the real deal....

Dan Inosanto is a living legend.There's probably not a martial art out there that tjis man hasn't studied.

I love Dan so much... so much.

I am a 2nd degree Tracy’s Kenpo and 3rd degree Kajukenbo but my favorite to train is Kali! I believe Kenpo is the best mix with Kali because it flows and reinforces economy of motion so consistently.

I have the greatest respect for Guro Dan Inosanto. He's a very humble guy. Despite his wide knowledge in various martial arts and practicing it all his life yet he still calls himself guro. Very humble indeed. I never heard him call himself grandmaster. For me you are a THE Grandmaster. Mabuhay po kayo.

1 of the greatest teacher's of all time!!! D.I.

Mr Dan Inosanto is a living proof of Filipino Martial Arts. despite of the fact that he were Born and raise in the US for a long period of time a have my higher respect to him as a Filipino. longlive to yah Guru/Shifu/Master Dan Inosanto.🙏🙏🙏

Kali/Arnis is not dead in the Philippines. Actually, college schools have a curriculum for kali/arnis but with stick only. Not bladed weapons.

A great teacher that produces great teachers.

The idea of studying an art is to be able to absorb what is useful to one's needs and one's individuality and still be able to to respect all forms art (fight styles). As human beings the moment we stop learning is when we die. RESPECT AND MAYBE THEM WE CAN START THE LEARNING PROCESS.

great filipino martial art....

Mabuhay ka Guro Dan!

Kali is good for the brain. It trains the brain to think fast. Also good for coordination, balance, general physical condition. It can even prevent Alzheimer's disease.

Bruce Lee an this man were best friends. Bruce Lee trained him in ways but JKD weapons tactics stem strongly towards Kali. if Bruce Lee thought this man was good enough to teach him I'd say he is good enough to teach anyone. kali has my upmost respect.

Best summary of FMA I've seen.

It was always very informative when Guru Inosanto would do a seminar at our school

Idol Dan. Beginner practicioner here K.I. eskrima. I want to learn and to Preserve our Filipino Martial arts because its our treasure and its so Effective on a real life situation.

I studied at the Inosanto Academy for a few years. It was definitely a life-changing experience.

Thanks for sharing!

Excellent! Thanks

master dan is one of the best grandmaster in the world

What an incredible human being RESPECT 🙏🙏

That was a great interview.

My biological mother is Filipino Chinese and my Ethiopian Italian Indian paternal grandfather. My biological mothers mom is a CHICANO from a small village in Madrid Spain

Arnis(Stick Fighting) was taught way back when is was in High School.. It was a part of our P.E. class..

Mabuhay Sir...

I learned kali or arnis in our physical education class 1 and 2 in the Philippines, from basics, disarming and groupings. What's nice about this system is once learned it's hard to forget.

One of the Greats!

great master

Mabuhay Po

Kali or arnis is not dead in Philippines.. Actually instead of using sticks they prefer to use bolo.. Hack to kill.. LoL!

nice to see and hear a legend!!!!!! ;-)

mabuhay guro dan!

sad to say.... a lot of western people are familiar with FMA while a lot Filipinos are not familiar with our own Martial art.... i think our country needs to pay attention about this so that we can preserve our own culture...

they said kali is dead in philippines because only few people knew this martial art and its not being teach in philippines even in gyms well they are wrong the reason why they dont teach kali and other FMA in philippines because its just very deadly and dangerous but very effective in both offense and defense thats why only those who are in special forces are allowed to train FMA but the sad truth is that only few filipinos knows their own martial art because they prefer TKD,KARATE,etc and they dont even have idea how rich their culture that they have their own martial art,most gyms in philippines are teaching tkd,karate kung fu you cant find a gym that teaches kali you need to go in some remote areas in philippines just to find a master,they dont know how special their martial art that it is being use to train special forces in other countries but kali is never dead in philippines its just its not being teach because they prefer westernized teaching for example in school they teach football which is not their own instead of kali which is part of their tradition that almost forgotten

Inosanto is true fighter.Respect

Ur the Man !

Here in my province in philippines, there's a lot of martial artist we know most of them already gone but they never thought filipino martial arts to other people, they are very careful in choosing people they wanna teach. The person must be disciplined and have a good heart. Because they said it is deadly and dangerous to learn of irresponsible person. They hide it, that is why i switch to tae kwon do. And luckily we have a few self defense lesson not knowing that our instructor already teaching us a filipino martial art.

Master Dan Inosanto the friend of Bruce Lee gives honor to the art of arnis in the Phil.God Bless Master Dan..you deserved honor and respect from your homeland the national sports of the phillipines!

The most knowledgeable martial artist on the planet. His knowledge now far supercedes that of Bruce Lee. Only fanboys could argue otherwise. Been everywhere and studied everything for 50 odd years. His humility is impressive considering his ability, something I think Bruce Lee struggled with especially as a younger man. May he live forever

Hey DAN, I KNOW YOUR BEST FRIEND RODNEY FISHER IN LONG BEACH MISSISSIPPI, ME AND MY BROTHER TOOK JAPANESE SHOUTOKAHN KARATE CLASS WERE THE OWNLY THREE PHILIPINOS IN HIS CLASS SIGN CHRIS MOORE.

If Game of Death wasn't a movie, the Bruce vs Dan scene scene would've ended differently.

Dan the man

I like this song wich is in the background could somone tell me the song name? or the genre?

Espada y daga? Sinawali? Good times. Good vid

I just recently started training at an MMA gym. Very talented jiu jitsu and very well rounded thai boxing but it just doesnt feel complete without elements of JKD concepts/Inosanto methods/FMA

i need the music in the background! help me!

My idol :) and I use to do Sikaran arnis and now tae kwon do :)

He states that Kali draws from Indo-persian, indo-Chinese, Indo-Malay influences ....but HOW and from what did the Philippines experience all those influences? What is it in Kali that you can see from other regions? Thanks

This is my grandfather's master

I really wanna learn it straight from a Filipino teacher. But dunno if they have any near me

Respekt

certified bad ass

Filipino martial arts supreme

arnis in the philippines is actually starting to become popular again...its being introduced in PE in schools to familiarize newer generations of filipinos to arnis...In the phil its more known as arnis rather than kali...

Si Andres Bonifacio b magaling din b sa kali?

Hey Stick's. Tell Mark Mikita that I said hello. My buddy trained under you and Mark Mikita for a long time.

He's 77 years old in this video

As a law enforcement officer, I have used Kali many times to defend myself. Along with that, not all cops are corrupt, just a VERY small percentage that we always try to weed out. You generalized too much, and generalizations are never helpful nor accurate.

This is why FMA is number ONE choice in SFs all across the globe, not some karate or Kung Fu bs that never seems to work nowadays...

More for Show, not for Real fight, i will see a sparring Sequenz from this Master

Do he speaks tagalog?

As many hits and first hand experience with Bruce Lee. It has also help improve his own jeet kun do.

Dan Inosanto vs. Bruce Lee NUNCHAKU FIGHT DUEL ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H98MLmW5tYw.htmlsi=fvBMKYHD970Z1dO8

which one did he do in the game of death?

One one bruce lee's students and the first certified instructor to teach Bruce Lee's style all over the world.

that is a Balintawak style arnes wth combat judo combination.w/ knife fighting

Is this silat or filipino martial art?

Grandmaster

Its understandable. I'm not saying there aren't alot of assholes out there, and worst. But the majority are just average people. There is no way around it. With any organization that large, especially with an element of power involved, you will get power trippers, racists, dummies and occasionally murderers. But that same organization has an overwhelming majority of people that would risk their lives for people they have never met before, including me and you. lets agree not to stereotype them.

He is the one who fight to Bruce Lee

Can he speak Tagalog?

Was Dan already in martial arts before he met Bruce? Anybody?

Hawaiian LA anak...White Spanish Filipino

Shang Tsung!

The vast majority of L.E. are good people that are willing to risk their lives to protect those that cant protect themselves. The majority of criminals they might use these techniques against are people you likely haven't interacted with and that's why you are so misguided. Yes, there are bad cops and yes some "criminals" aren't really evil but you cant possibly be so ignorant that you dont realize that the majority of the time someone trying to stab a cop is an actual bad person.

Jacob bruce lee

I think Dan Inosanto is much more technical than Bruce Lee was.

That same person would stab you in the back or your family members with out a second thought. Do you think it would be better to not have any police at all and just let the strong and willing take from the weak and unwilling? You must have recently got a speeding ticket and now your all pissed off at LEO.

Show me the evidence to prove me wrong then. We aren't living in the 70s or 80s here in America.

in哦撒太哦 佛i他人诶那的哦 破肉 体哦 Bruce😅

Very small? Psshhhhhhh

HUNT KING DO is more simpler then jkd. by the way dan not a good idea to teach stepping close rang knife techniques especially while standing still. knife techniques should be taught while the partner closes in do your part and quickly move away from his the knife. 10/12/2014

FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUCK UUUUUUUUUUUUU

Bootlickers. I would have to test out a guro to see if he is worth my time as an aprentice. Full contact 3 minute spar, possibly followed by 5 minutes 3/4 speed full weight blows and 3/4 pressure locks. I will know in one minute who is more skilled. He has much experience in a couple of modernized arts. I'm all budo, military drill and traditional combat trained, 46 schools. Since i could Crawl startling with traditional western boxing/ no rules defence. Karate/ kimpo/ jujutsu/muay thai/dim mak/aikido/judo/ gongfu-sifuwong-chigong-taichi chin-na/animal forms and 8ways moving/ white eyebrow/ tibetan lion/ white crane deadly yang form/ secret venom family heir animal forms(6forms)/ ninpo/ budo taijutsu/ family heir restricted budo/ yagyu/ niten ichi/ aiki-jutsu kiaijutsu (7schools)/ goya ryu shadow boxing/ viking beserikir/ anatomica romana/ fencing 8 forms 4 def-4offensive/ pieced together vajramukti from shaolin north form diamond fist and kulari payut/ japanese pirate martial art otako ryu resurrected from octopus themed techniques in various 500+ year old ryuha both samurai-honin-shinobi in origin. I have absorbed entirely these arts and have not wasted my time adhering to philosophy of non-deadly arts that profess to make warriors. One question. Can I kill at least 10 attackers with this art? If no I die. Fuck bullshiddo! I will kill anyone at anytime i find approvable with my skill alone. Your philosophy will get you X'd and so will an overeager student with no formal training. Weak. If you are injured can you still fight? I can, have and will. I have used my teeth to bleed out a stronger attacker. This is necessary. You will not outlast me. Your students are but wallet padding and fodder. I would tear them apart in front of you and unbuild your egos temple. I am a force of nature; chaos incorruptible/ death incarnate. So, can you teach me anything?

Guro means Teacher in Filipino.
