Kali or Eskrima, Is also the fighting style used by the Filipino character named Talim in a arcade game called Soul Calibur. Fascinating that it can be where karate and other martial arts rooted from. Kudos to the master he’s really knowledgeable and skillful in this art. BTW, what’s for your 20K subs video? Congrats 🎈🍾..
Ohhhh really never paid attention to it, I will ask my friend who is into beat em ups if he knows as well. Nice fun fact to know. He has a way to make it fun & educate at the same time. Not sure yet, and if we do something for it at all. But appreciate it.
You have to react also at The Russian House in the Philippines 🇵🇭 the most grand master are in that camp of FMA ( Filipino Martial Arts) Kali and there training camp of Kali, Eskrima, and Balintawak is breathtaking. And there are more student from different countries.
Thats bullshit, just when did our history say lapu lapu was the first master of kali? We may think we know lapu lapu but in reality we dont, yes we know he existed and he was a kind of leader during the battle of mactan but other than that most of his origins and background are debatable, theres even a theory that he was a foreigner lol
Kali is an ancient martial arts. Its an arts for self defense from a committed attack in a combat situation, thats why its not suitable for sports competition coz the art is lethal and can cause major injury if not supervised by a professional practitioner.
Martial arts dates back to India.Hindu travelers went to China.China monks travelled to Asia. Same with meditations,chants,etc.Merchants or traders travelled in Asia with martial arts skill.
No evidence that it started in India. The arts are so different. A lot of leaping, jumping and spinning in Indian arts. Very deep stances. Torso facing more downward (unlike a lot of Chinese arts with torso upright position) 45 degree positions. No leaping and spinning (eg southern mantis, wing chun, white brow style, hung gar, black tiger, white crane, hop gar, fut gar, hsing, tai chi......) Also the Bodhidhrama myth was trace to a 17cent fiction manual full of errors. Among other things. I could go on.
Kali is a brutal kind of martial arts 😊😊😊😊 if you face a Kali master make sure dont give them a chance counter attack you because if that happen .I'm sure your will be K.O
before spanish come to the philippines or filipino already trade to the asian country especialy chinese, we could it " barter trade or exchange product, like silk to.condements .so maybe thats all begun and the rest is history.
Somebody said Kali didn't originate from philippines but from the southern sumatra or west java during the reign of majapahit empire which extends to the island of mindanao to luzon. It was called Kali Majapahit originally.
Binondo in Manilla is the world's oldest chinatown. Dated to the 15th cent. Trade between Philippines and China been for centuries even before that. Porcelain and old Chinese coins can be found all the way from Malaysia, Indonesia to Philippines. Infact old Chinese coins are used in Bali Indonesia as offerings to gods there. They are also uses as lucky charms. They also have a temple dedicated to a Chinese princes married to a Balinese prince. I think they became deities or something like that. Also in Chinese traditional medicine they use ingredients that comes for that part of the world. Like mace, nut meg, cloves, bird nest soup, sea cucumbers...
Sa Pinas maraming tawag sa atin yan bro. Bawat lugar my tawag sa kali. Sa Luzon parang Arnis sa bisayas parang Doce Pares at sa Mindanao eskrima at kali sa mga kapatid nating nitibo at meron pang talim. Dyan bilib sa atin ang mga Kano at halos sa Hollywood action Movies used kali.
Japanese and Filipinos even share food I think. Japanese Curry = Ka-re Filipino Curry = Kare-Kare They even look the same! Still unsure? Japanese savory "pancake" = Okonomiyaki Filipino savory "pancake" = Ukoy They also look very similar. So martial arts? It would seem so. Food and fighting is how countries tend to easily connect anyway
