COMBAT vs ART: Make Your Filipino Martial Arts Drills Dangerous 

Its like a Sergeant

Y.ou should meet him up in Toronto, or go to his seminars he is very charismatic dude with real-world experience with violence in the Philippines military and SWAT.

These guys are all over the Philippines. The fact is the Spanish Conquistador banned the short Blades that the SriVijian Emprire used for combat and that the Philippines was a part of that Nation that was Buddhist and was a part of before its fall around 1644 AD. Indonesia still uses the Blades and so does Thailand and they can use the sticks as well. The Philippines are not the ONLY fragmented Nation of this old Empire. Later Islamic Missionaries converted many to Islam and Buddhism was mostly forgotten. The Strategy varies but they are almost all simular with secret moves only allowed by family memebers too know and in Indonesia it was called Silat and later mixed with Ancient Chinese Kung Fu. I do Kuntao and Silat and mix it with Danzan Jujitsu and Ling Sing Toy. Fun stuff while you are young. Hard when you are old.

@@stevechan6244 good to know

@@stevechan6244Any conquering nation will ban the conquered nation’s use of weapons. This doesn’t show any proof that FMA swordfighting were any deadlier than any other type of swordfighting. Were they deadly? Yes, but so were everybody else. They seem to have given no special trouble to European side swords and rapiers which would have had a large advantage.

you should watch TABOADA style

what are you saying?? the pintados are Visayan people!!!.. they are not moros.

Yes, Pintados were Visayan (tattooed) people and not Moros or Muslims. I was born in Panay island. Tattoos are forbidden (haram) in Islam. Also, the Moros have distinct martial arts and they mostly distanced themselves from arnis/escrima.

@@neomagnon what’s Arnis and escrima

@@Unseen0161 It is known collectively as FMA - Filipino Martial Arts (stick fighting, bladed weapons, empty-hand fighting, etc)

@@neomagnon I wonder what kind of Martial Art do Moros have then?

Unfortunately it's true.young people want to train how to kill on the first day of training they want to skip the basics or foundation of martial arts

@@bagiraramah7560 I do see how people are impatient and want it all right now. However, I have found so few who are even interested in training at all. The time and dedication aren't there. And most who do wish to train only want to do kata or no contact b.s. and just get a belt. Realistic skills are dying out. Taking over is the fluffy, not practical stuff that only strokes egos.

@@zenshinacademy4096 it's because most of the traditional self defense skills and disciplines are being removed so that spoiled kids can be accommodated and also most Martial arts are being turned into sports .look in the case of TKD and judo most traditions have been removed now it's like watching a clown show

@@bagiraramah7560 agree, I miss the 80's for so many reasons. I am a young guy with the attitude from a gone age stuck in an aging body. But I have kept that alive and well within me. I just want to pass it on, and it has proven near impossible to find anyone to pass it on too.

@@zenshinacademy4096 well out of 100 people going to war only one is a warrior .9 do the most fighting but only one in the 100 is a warrior you'll find that one person or two who will be serious in following your footsteps

As far as I'm aware, it's all blade concept. Arnis doesn't change when switching between swords (ginunting), sticks, and hands. So yes, when using single edge swords, it works for that, too. The ginunting is single edge sword used in the Philippines.

*_In answer to your question • yes_* *_All of the FMA stick fighting arts ARE swords and blade arts! When the Spanish banned their teaching and practice of training and passing along the knowledge, they continued to train and teach by using sticks. And the Spanish were none the wiser._* 😎

balintawak Arnis eskrima in Cebu

There are kicks but theres specific term for that "sikaran" and for grappling theres "dumog"

You’re seeing a super super slow demo, I love guys that see a slow demo and tell tales of what they would of could of should of. Being poked in the stomach will automatically cause you to lean over that’s called auto kinetics ,so even if you strike you will lean down and miss his head poke to the throat worst it will stop you in your tracks you will hold your throat or cough. There’s no block meaning it’s attack or REDIRECT in combat if you try to block an attack it splits your mind into 2 attack or defend , leaving you moving like you’re fighting fence waiting to block an attack no if you’re in you’re in you redirect and end it .If you feel like his stuff have openings take his class and show us how great you are make sure you record it and put it on RU-vid I would love to get a good laugh.

@@MARTIALnoart I have studied many systems in Escrima from Cebu (Lapunti Arnis de Abaniko under SGM Ondo Caburnay, Balintawak, Tres Personas Escrima de Combate, Super Cuentada) to Manila (Tracma, Modern Arnis) to Pangasinan (Cinco Tero) to Baguio (Cinco Tero, Sincala, Sikaran) and other non_FMA arts. I know body mechanics (coordination of all body parts including the nervous system), auto kinetics and auto-reactions if you get hit, like automatically drawing your hand if cut or hit. But the decisive and strong momentum of the long stick will follow through even if you get hit in the stomach or neck (your weapon hand is not hit and no reason (or delayed) to retract). I know it's a slow demo, and the student is cooperative, stopping his stick short of hitting his teacher, and letting the teacher do his thing. I teach my beginning students in slow motion, too, to explain things. But I make sure there will be no questions or discrepancies or vague moves as to my attacks/defenses. And what is the vague "The change of change but not to be changed"? Of course, if you modify or improve things, it is already changing the original, for the better or for the worse. There is no withdrawal in Pintados? In all the systems I learned, withdrawing is an integral part of a good strategy. Even the "De Fondo" style must step back sometimes (to adjust positions or avoid an attack). We have what we call an "attack/retreat" strategy in Lapunti, which means, attacking or hitting while withdrawing or stepping back. (I know he is talking about the sinawali or redonda move.) "There is no block in Escrima", of course, there are many blocks especially if you are caught in an awkward position, your peripheral vision is slow, or your opponent is faster than you, but the IDEAL counter is to redirect/parry or hit the hand or preempt his strikes. If I have no choice but to block, my follow-up counter will be in a "nanosecond", that I learned in Lapunti, Balintawak, Tes Personas/Super Cuentada and Cinco Tero. That means the block and strike are in one (1 count, not two) continuous motion. It is called a result of fully developed intuitive thinking as opposed to slow conscious thinking and waiting. P.S. As I said, my comment is to the particular scenario he showed, but maybe he is really good in an actual fight. Everything has weaknesses and can be countered. No technique is foolproof and in perfect timing all the time. No man is formidable with the law of karma, no matter how skilled. Your fate dictates if you live or die. :)

That's stick is just a substitute of a blade.. when he said it will be finished, no block is because I. Reality. It's a sharp blade

@@bro.marlon_james Blocking is an integral part of every stick/blade system. Blocking is necessary. For example, the defender is in an awkward position when the strike is coming and has no time to evade or parry. Even the attacker has to block sometimes when his strike is met with a one-count block/counter combo. Yes, sometimes a block is not sufficient, especially with a slow reaction time. In this particular scenario, he was demonstrating the application of the two-weapon Redonda (Sinawali) style. All FMA systems that practice Redonda with a partner, striking and blocking go together- heaven six, earth six, the combination of heaven and earth six patterns. It is the same with Sumbrada 8-count drill.

@@neomagnon you have a good point. What I am saying is this. I grow up in the Philippines, specifically in Mindanao and witnessed fights between people who are members of bolo battalion. Blocks most of the times are not seen though it's important for most duels last only seconds

Just pay attention. You dont wanna miss a thing

I think pintados are refer to a painted people they also a warrior tribe way back and one of a brutal when it comes to sword and knife fighting .

Yes they are a warriors and they have a long history in the Philippines and there are others

Pta-shoto ..... Pikal style.... Real Life

Ptk es muy aburrido 😴
