Filipino Martial Arts Counters & Disarms 

İ learned it little in russia. I loved it

@@ResidentOf was it hard it looks cool

I started learning it a few months back along with some other martial arts and its fantastic!!!

With all due respect to Filipino people sand thier culture and martial arts but I'm sorry to say it doesn't work in real fight.there is documentary on Kali on youtube two American guys learn it for a week or two and literally defeated Filipino marines.

@@hotheadsniper Yes, it's called fight quest and I know that episode very well, and I practice Kali, and I think you should rewatch the fight. They did not defeat them. They fell short one round. There's nuance to it. Balthasar dropped his stick twice, he didn't necessary lose to Jimmy because of skills and was just butterfingers and he really fumbled that. It wasn't because Jimmy was a better stick fighter. The knife round went to Balthasar, but the hands went to Jimmy. Jimmy is an MMA fighter and has boxing skills. Kali empty hands is probably the least practiced skill and it's more about dealing with a weapon instead of dealing with hands like boxing is fighting another boxer. Jimmy clearly had the upper hand with MMA training that Balthasar does not have, however the hands round was a tie. Then we have Prado. Prado won the stick and the knife rounds but lost the hands against Doug because Doug is a boxer like Jimmy. Same circumstance applies here where Kali empty hands is mostly used to deflect weapon attacks instead of deal with boxers. So this all makes it 3.5 Filipino marines, 2.5 to American MMA guys, therefore the Filipino marines were not defeated. Take off the head gear and take off the hand protection. The results would be 2 Filipino Marines, and 0 American MMA guys because they'd be dead after the knife rounds that they started with. Replace the sticks with bolo machetes which is what they're supposed to be. The protective gear just allows the fight to enter a sports style fight, which is not what Kali is meant to be, so if we want to look at the truest test, put live blades in their hands and take out all the gear. The result will be very different. Overall, the marines both won the knife round easily, which in marines-relevant situations, is honestly all that really matters. Trust me, Kali works, if you throw in a Kali guy into an MMA ring with a boxer/BJJ guy and allow him to actually be a Kali guy with a blade, place your bet. Evening the playing field to an MMA octagon setting and comparing Kali to that just makes Kali less of what it is, sorry but that's the truth

Lol what do you mean. FMA is everywhere in movies. Just that they aren’t so obvious. But yeah I know what you mean. Filipinos also need to embrace their art and make movies about their art.

the knife fights u see in movies involving special forces pretty much uses these techniques

Jason Bourne movies are all based on Filipino Martial Arts and many others

Bruce lee put it in enter the dragon?

John Wick 3

We hope you enjoy it!

Of course, I don’t really understand why in our time two people have to fight with large Chinese chopsticks? There are knives, shockers, traumatic weapons And walking down the street with two sticks and considering yourself deadly ... that was before the invention of gunpowder

@@PaulSith in Eskrima, there is a concept called "substitution principle". You train with rattan sticks as a training tool, but this translates into swinging an expandable baton, a machete, a piece of rebar, etc. The reason we train dual sticks is to teach ambidexterity, mainly, but there are still cases where dual weapons may be used in a modern context. For example, a year ago I was attacked by a criminal at my workplace. It was a liquor/wine store and the attacker started swinging dual-wielded champagne bottles at me. I was able to block and disarm one of the bottles when they swung it at me, then ducked my head to use the hard part of my skull to take the impact of the second swing which I failed to block (a better alternative to getting smashed in the face with it, where I could have easily lost an eye or worse), and then I tackled them and began striking them. I chose not to draw my knife in this situation. But my training in Eskrima had instilled in me the ability to recognize the angles that melee weapons will be swung at you and helped me defend myself from thos vicious assault. Yes, guns are a whole different beast, but you might be surprised at how commonly knives and other melee weapons are used in violence, and it is highly valuable to train Eskrima to prepare yourself for these attacks. A good Eskrima practitioner can pick up just about anything and use it as an improvized weapon, too.

@@Shacksies I don’t understand your expression to pick up something and use it as a weapon ... Street skirmishes are fleeting and usually the attacking side already has a weapon right away and will not wait while you fumble around in search of an analogue of a stick or its substitute

How are they simplified... how are they practical and how are they effective? You will be walking around town with two chopsticks... Or two large knives? We live in a world where they don't run around with swords and axes. We have a law ... ! Accordingly, those who think that he is deadly with chopsticks should be treated in a psychiatric hospital)

How do you know it’s effective? In a real wild fight you won’t encounter cooperative opponents. 🥴

@@avigator that's a drill. Keyboard warrior always complaining. But in the reality they don't know how to fight

The premise is the stuck in that situation, don't do it.

You don’t use that disarm against a bolo. Or, alternatively you do and you die.

This is for stick weapon... With bolo it has diff. Way

Commons sense my friend

If they uses a blade weapon he use also different techniques.

We hope you enjoy it

Hndi ako bilid sa style nito pero effective to Kong stick ang gamit pero Kong itak sugatan ka mona bago mo maagaw ng ganyan style

This is true of any martial art, timing is mastery.

@@tsak912 No it's not. There's a difference between bullshit like this and actual sparring martial arts where the stuff is actually tested against a resisting opponent. This is just make belief.

Learn to read pal.

@@tsak912 I know how to read pal.

I’m responding to the other guy who thinks that I was defending this art

You mean Cake ?

That's easy just aim for the hands.

Find him and test yo self lol

Don't just see a video go and try Do it yourself, experience it. I recommend Tabimina Balintawak..its different.

@@dockilat5576 I never do. 20 years working Kali.

@@vidgood8682, I guarantee there will be a modification to the application. Subtle but still modified. This isn't a question of his skill.

What *DAT* arm do??
