I as a practitioner myself, would like to say that this is the most effective, straight forward and no nonsense method of teaching kali/arnis/escrima. Nothing fancy, just learning from start to finish.. pugay to pintados arnis system! Main objective that sensei is trying to teach here is that every move counts! There must be no room for errors. Fight like your life depended on it.
@@AHEUTUBE while ill give they do you expect a martial art with over half of its moves banned to have much if any success thats laughable at best. That would be like saying the juijitsu practioner is not allowed to arm bar me suddenly im kicking his ass even though hes clearly the better fighter cause he can't use the one submission hes insane at. It's made for the streets where in the cage are you gonna see a dude jam a finger in the other guys eye untl its gouged in or kick them so hard in the groin that kids aren't an option. So sick of this stupid argument its like asking a boxer to beat a wrestler in a wrestling match.
@@AHEUTUBE almost every traditional martial art practitioner who is not practicing for sports combat will get destroyed by a MMA not just Wing Chun. There is alot that is valuable in Wing Chun, it comes down to the way it is taught and practiced and applied. It can be great when used with other stars up martial arts. Bottom line though is that traditional martial artists approach is not the same as MMA. That doesn't mean there isn't valuable lessons and techniques to learn from arts like Wing chun though, we have seen many top level fighters in the UFC and other Organizations employ elements of Wing Chun as well as other Traditiinal Chinese Martial Arts into their repertoire, from Anderson Silva, Brian Ortega to Tony Furgeson, Ben Saunders,... Weili Zhang practices several different Traditional Chinese Martial Arts daily while training for fights in the UFC. I have seen some Sifus who teach Wing Chun side by side with Sanda and other instructors of Jui jitsu and Judo for MMA and modify their systems to those needs for that and have produced alot of competent fighters who compete.
Incredible transition from sticks, to blades, and finally into hand to hand. Not only demonstrates his initial concept but also has a visual demonstration of how these weapons are just extensions of our bodies.
This is mind blowing in-fighting insight. I’ve been trying to go from historical Italian fencing to FMA, but I was still in the outfighter’s mindset, thinking about throwing sinawali cuts from 6-10 feet away. But this changes everything. The way single-time counterattacks chain into grappling is so intimidating.
Fencing background isn't useless in FMA. The biggest difference lies in methodology. In fencing, to counter advance is an action of opportunity. To counter advance in FMA, IS THE MINDSET... it IS the methodology. "Offend the offense". "Defang the serpent"... or whatever other version you've heard a hundred thousand times.
I absolutely love that there are still instructors of various martial arts in this world who teach the real forms. Traditional skills were simple and effective as they were designed for life or death combat. Over the generations so much of the practical application has been lost to an artistry during less violent times as well as being ruined by those who don't understand the flashy style in cinema isn't real.
Very well written, nowadays martial arts is more about art and appreciation then actual practicality. I learned Wushu in highschool because the presentation they showed for the club was talking all about self defense and how its important in todays world blah blah, ended up joining it for 3 years and all I learned were some weird dance, how to punch air and dumb impractical close fight techniques with a lot of rules already set in it. Also learned how to rotate a stick so if i ever end up in a fight I can go searching for the closest stick to rotate it real fast and scare the enemies. Very useful indeed. Wanted to join boxing classes etc but was not an option. Seeing Practical martial arts like this is a relief :)
It goes back before film. As soon as fighting is done, people start asking, "but what if the stick master had fought the empty handed killer?". Folk take interest, because aggression is, inherently, and then ego joins. "Well of course they loose to weapons, but could anyone beat them without?" Becomes "well yes if the strikers arm gets caught by a grappler, they may loose, but how often is entangled combat applicable? I want to see to strikers fight", and were away from combat, back to sport and training, again. On the good of it, in peaceful times, someone who has trained for sport is typically more ready than someone who neither fights, nor trains.
@@Nischal_Kandel Punching air, that on made me laughy :) My Silat trainer actually kicks us in the groin if we do not aim straight at his face when he is demonstrating techniques. He rather gets his full force in the face then us learning how to not hit someone :P
The artistic movement in asian martial art was a form to pass down the skill. In villages most people can't read write, the dance movement was to memorize the techniques (kata in karate). Kalaripayat, kung fu, silat, kali, muay thai, all the same
In Karate, blocking is an attack, while in boxing blocking is defensive. In at least one FMA, blocking as a defence is taught as a last second movement to an unexpected attack, in which there is no time or distance to counter. So it is more advantageous to counter rather than to block defensively.
@@irunwiththedead9777 My boxing coach and fights show fighters blocking. For example, the high guard is used strictly as a block; another guard is the low guard of the Peekaboo stance, a la Mike Tyson. Parrying is a type of blocking. Under the umbrella of blocking includes Catching as well. Genius old timers also used body parts to block, particularly the shoulder and the forearms.
@@shogunshogun I was taught to parry (redirect) an oncoming strike instead of blocking (absorbing) a strike in kickboxing. It just makes more sense. Less wear on your body.🤷♂️
It's an important principal in martial arts in general. Blocking can only buy you time until the opponents will eventually break through your defense. One has to counter to break the opponents chain of attack to prevent the eventual breakthrough.
There is a line in a medieval fencing manual in the Liechtenauer tradition, where the master says: "All fencers who only wait for the other to attack and do nothing but defend, will not have pleasure with the art. Furthermore, they will be beaten." There are times when a block is better than getting hit, but you're staying defensive with blocking. In order to win, you will need to gain the initiative and transition to the offensive. The most advanced strikes work into the timing of the opponent, take his initiative during defence and be an attack at the same time. Very similar from the concept the guy is showing here.
I'm pretty sure there have been boxers whose entire strategy was to block and absorb punishment until their opponent got tired, then more or less just push them over
@@emissarygw2264 You have to absolutely outskill the opponent to do that. Muhammad Ali was one of those boxers. And even then, he rarely get to do that. Generally they don't do that if they know the other guy are close to their level.
@@emissarygw2264 Ah yes, the slugger style of boxing, duking it out, attrition style. Yes it is viable strategy, but it's usually used by some of the heaviest fighters out there, using their size to their advantage. The problem with that however is they're not so quick in movements and anyone who can constantly poke and do evasive maneuvers on them tend to be advanageous against them. Muhammad Ali is the best example of that since he's an outboxer who does that strategy.
@@mephisto8101 I heard a quote once dont remember from where but it was something along the lines of, a master fencer knows there actually are turns in combat but they're all his.
It's called eskrima, it's a philipeno martial arts. Sometimes it's combined with isshinryu. Go find an instructor near you and learn it, it's a lot of fun!
I was active in HEMA, some years ago. In the medieval German fencing books are no blocks. Every action has to follow the intention, to disable the opponent to continue the fight. Therefore you need to 'close the line' - interrupt the opponents line of attack - and 'indes' (meanwhile) attack him yourself. Many people with martial arts background had a hard time to learn, how not to block, when starting medieval swordfighting. ^^
@@siberian4429 There’s nothing wrong. But there’s a difference between being patriotic and prideful. And Filipinos love to put it into people’s face. It’s more embarrassing if you’re a Filipino yourself because the country is inherently messed up right now. It’s not even a developed country yet.
When I was training Tae Kwon Do WTF style our master taught us a little bit of this. Even with the padded practice sticks its not nice to get hit. The great thing about it is it isn't just with sticks as this master clearly demonstrates. Make no mistake this is an effective style.
Very similar concept to a number of Japanese classical Kenjutsu styles. You see techniques involving "blocking" an incoming attack but in reality, its isn't a block. It's a simultaneous avoiding and cutting at an exposed area of the attacker so you defend yourself and counter-attack altogether so that you kill your enemy in the first move. It's fascinating to see different cultures with highly similar methods of fighting with close combat weapons despite the differences in geography, people, language and customs.
In Brazil, the african slaves developed the "Maculelê": a fighting style with 2 clubs disguised in a "dance". The disguise was needed to the guards don't discover they are practicing self defense.
The reason that all martial art styles have the same basic moves is the human body moves in only these movements ,so every style looks like they are coping someone elses style but they are not each style came up with identical styles because the way the body is built and moves.
Same goes for historical european martial arts. Surprisingly compatible with classical Kenjutsu, always a pleasure to fence with a kenjutsu practitioner or someone doing FMA.
The way he described how the form of the technique should stay the same its only how it interacts with the stimulus is what i'd like people to learn how to do with traditional chinese martial arts.
FR this is what i do with wing chun i only use moves like wing arm sticky hands sticky feet so on and so forth until they try something different this opens free strikes every exchange i notice and really irks the person your facing. I can even keep up with karate and boxing with these though i dont know about high level tkd since i don't get to spar with headkicks often but i do have many double hands blocks so im sure i could survive.
@@dr.dylansgame5583 I do taichi push-hands through which I notice while doing the circling I can already see different angles how someone could attack. It's really helped my awareness, adaptability, and creativity with movements.
@@sillymesilly True, but I think the video also shows that minimal form is needed (the scissors block) in order to actually translate to training or real life. He basically does the same movement with both weapons and barehand, which is actually good if you consider that most life-death situations rely on instinct and less on proper form.
When I was in high school Arnis was a part of our P.E. A pair of two students would spar for a period of time. It’s one of the most favorite activity of mine during school. I remember coming home with soar hands! Good old days! I hope they can still implement Arnis as a part of curriculum.
I wish my PE class had done anything useful like that. Instead we got competitive sports with a dock to half your grade if you didn't change into shorts...
Yup 2nd yr HS was this. Sometimes it would break into a fight after hours tho. Hahaha. Cause someone hit another harder than the agreed strenght put on a strike.
Yo! One day I would love to learn this combat. One of the reasons I Iike Filipino martial arts is that there is no bull shit and the purpose is truly to hurt your opponent.
If you want to learn it's better go on kali knife version since knife or any sharp object are very common weapon on the street. There's a two type of kali the stick and knife or any sharp weapon.
@@nyctophilia6270 FMA originally has it all. Empty hand, knife, sword, machete, stick. It depends on the style you learn. Some do just stick fighting and "forgot" a lot, or doesnt learned. Some are still the real deal. Normally in good linages in Silat or FMA your body is the weapon. The others are just extended ( knife, parang etc. ) So your movement is the same. The principile is the same. What is changing is the range.
The problem with this mentality when you do not block the stick (btw...manong is correct in saying that you go for the weapon and don't block the stick is reality, not training), is during training, you will hurt your partner. If you hurt people you train with, you will no longer get partners. This is why arnis was dying a long time ago -- too many people getting hurt. Eventually stick on stick blocking was developed purely as a safety precaution. A lot of people think stick on stick is the basis for it. Not true. It's a substitute for the real deal.
@@hubster4477 idk if there's pads for arms (not that im aware of). I used to train arnis and we only used the head piece and armor as protection while sparring. I frequently get hit on the arms because im stupid and it did hurt like hell but I just thought of it as part of the training.
@@clashes-pm9wx football pads have pads for forearms, as well as hockey. Heck even those foam water noodles taped on your arm would be better than taking hits on your bare arm. Just saw kendo pads for arms, they use raton cane to whack each other, they have pads all over. Maybe not as tough as stick fighters!😂
My father was an Arnis player. When I was younger, he got attacked by 4 men with knives. My father manage to survive even though he got some wounds in his hands. My father is so lucky because during in his younger age, too many Arnis gym around my town😉
This is the filipino way of fighting, and also this is very useful when you get into trouble on the streets this knife art style is very effective. I learned that from my uncle who has an ilaga fighter in the early 70s also filipinos have an amulet because of that is aprt of our traditions❤️
As someone who doesn't know martial arts it now makes sense why Filipino martial arts doesn't teach blocks, it makes you more confident in striking the enemy first and not rely on the block
Not really... It's extremely unlikely you'll ever end a fight with one hit, especially if your opponent is prepared and able to defend themselves. What Filipino systems, and styles like wing chun, teach is to treat every move by your opponent as an opportunity to attack them first. Limb destruction is a big part of that way of thinking.
@@peterclarke7240 exactly. Not even knifes will end the fight in one attack consistently, so how come that unarmed combat can? I have started Judo when i was 4 years old and i can tell you that not even the takedowns will knock people out consistently, you will usually need to keep attacking them after the throw or run away.
I've studied Chinese Kung Fu for 20 years (emphasis on weapons). I learned long ago, don't mess with stick fighters. It takes no time for a stick fighter to ruin your life... :) Thanks for the video! :)
And then you realized that those sticks are actually just a replacement of a huge knife because it's illegal to own such things back when the spain colonize the Philippines.
This dude outright is what I want out of anyone that's teaching me. Confidence and immeasurable skill. When you get in combat sports you learn to pick up on the skill of an opponent before you even see them in action. And older masters like this are by far the most tricky and dangerous. There's always this moment where your internal dialogue is going "small dude, old, frail, easy fight. Wait, he is an old dude that is that small and is ok fighting a young dude like me that is 3 times his size, this dude's about to give me a run for my money". This is also just good insight for fighting in general. Make your blocks flow into attacks, because in boxing for instance your opponent is kinda stuck in the recovery process from their punch that you just blocked. Doesn't help with my sumo wrestling unfortunately other than just reinforcing the always be aggressive mentality.
Yeah, never underestimate your opponent. Especially if it's the real deal, aka real fight. Luckily i've never been in a real fight, hope i never will. But martial arts have prepared me so i will probably not make a total ass of myself. But considering my style i'll probably still lose. Weapon martial arts don't work as well without.... well.... weapons.
@@Klomster88 honestly there are a lot of martial arts which are adapted from using weapons, or was originally intended for battlefield purposes. I recently learned wing Chun was originally a dagger based martial art. I'm an amateur sumo wrestler, so I honestly am not too too worried about actual fights. In sumo we tend to have practices where you literally keep having matches until you either pass out or there is no-one fit enough to fight. And we do things like ironman matches where one person stay in the ring while the entire dojo tries to take them down one match after another. Durability and endurance is the name of the game, and we headbutt into eachother off the initial charge if that says anything. I too hope I don't have to get into a real fight again (had to fight off my next door neighbor that was trying to stab me with a kitchen knife when I was 13). But my way of having ease of mind is to always have myself at a level where I feel that I could beat every single person in the room into submission if need be.
@@zoidsfan12 Yikes, the neighnour thing sounds horrible. Glad you made it. I hope it hasn't left any lasting marks, physical or mental. As for the more martial arts stuff you mention. Heavy does have endurance things, we avoid passing out but we go until we have gone past that pep talk from the others. (You know where you normally feel like, 'yeah i'm done' but a friend/anyone goes 'come on! you can do one more!') To that stage, so honestly not that over the top. But lacking endurance (like i do, i suck at those) it's really noticeable how much effectiveness you lose as you get tired. The ironman staying in ring we sort of do. But the focus is different. We call it 'Man in the hole.' We line up in order of skill/training time. Then we fight every other person until we faced them all. One is encouraged to give 110%. Unlike regular training. This is tournament level fighting. Then, in the same order each opponent gives advice and/or a remark. You are NOT to argue, just nod and accept. (To avoid pointless chatting) Man in the hole can be very rewarding, especially if the span of people is a great one. Since one can really see the difference in skill levels, you practice on spotting things in others, you get to spar with the noobs all the way to the pro's. And you get ton of good advice, remarks on your form, compliments and wrongdoings. So yeah, i'd say it's good to do in all martial arts. Probably. Also Sumo is one of those that looks super funky and weird, but i wouldn't want to fight a sumo. They be huge yo! And i'm a big guy :P
@@Klomster88 rofl to the last part, yeah sumo is weird, even showing people the exercises I have to preface that it won't look elegant but it is functional. The man in the hole sounds like a very interesting way of doing it. As it can kinda avoid the randomness we get in sumo. Because sumo is completely open weight, so your Ironman matches may be small guy, small guy, small guy, big guy. Or you might win against the king of the ring, go to start your streak and get taken down immediately because the biggest and most experienced dude in the dojo was up next. We also have a type of matches we do in preparation for tournaments. There are two types, 3 matches win or lose you stay in. So your first match you may have the match of your life and feel like you are bout to die afterwards and immediately have a dude ready for another match. The other type is round robin matches, we draw up a tournament bracket and everyone in the dojo ends up getting a match with everyone else. And holy hell I have never been so dead after a practice. Round robin matches are the type where you aren't even watching matches by the last 3 or so because you are fighting just to get your breathing under control and not puke. But it's a mutual thing, the first thing we let people know before they do it is if at any point you don't feel like you can continue/don't want to you don't have too. The dojo only charges $10 a practice because we know the likelihood of getting hurt is extremely high compared to other sports. That the nutty thing too, we are literal babies by comparison to the Japanese scene. The Japanese scene is you literally living at a sumo stable where you spend every single day doing 10 hours of sumo exercises and hours of matches. And regarding the neighbor incident, I appreciate your good wishes. I went through about a decade of PTSD, drowned my emotions in hedonism and excess so I didn't have to to address it. But hey, if it wasn't for going through that I wouldn't have gotten as into martial arts as I did. Because it was the constant fear that anyone and everyone could try to kill me that made me start religiously working out and shadowboxing on the daily. Buddhism was honestly the big thing that started my healing from the PTSD and got me to the point I am now where I can talk about without getting stuck in a flashback and recount loop.
@@zoidsfan12 Round robin is something we do to. Just a practical way of organizing a tournament. Also, i might not have emphazised, you fight everyone present, no matter if you win or lose. The focus is learning, it doesn't matter if you win or lose. Man in the hole is more of a 'check where people are in their path of martial arts' thing, since everyone does it. So at the end of the day, everyone will know each other better, be more knowledgeable of their own strengths and weaknesses, and everyone gets to fight everyone. But it's not a tournament thing nor a common practice thing. It's a thing where we invite people from the neighbouring groups, get a whole lot of blokes and just everyone get better at what we do. And nice that you found Buddhism, and that things seem to have worked out for ya. :)
Anyone and everyone who has ever learned any FMA knows its the real deal and loves the fact that it's all so similar and yet completely different at the same time all over the islands.
Some think they are the real deal but arent. FMA is not FMA ... depends on the lineage and on your trainer/yourself. I love a lot of FMA styles. And i learned a lot from and with good people. But like everywhere it depends on people. And some dont understand or learnd from bullshido masters.
@JizzyPres sure, you can learn TKD from a mall, or you can learn from a killer. Also, you can learn from a mall and be a killer or learn from a killer and still be a mall cop. my point is I've only met killers, I haven't met a nerd teaching FMA
Good stuff. A ton of good points to take away, and I remember learning some basic forms with a single stick for blocks, but they were extremely passive/defensive forms which opened up your guard quite a bit. I think they were meant more as a stepping stone, and there were probably more steps that I just didn't have a chance to learn before I left that class, but still this is far more useful.
Actually, the blocking part is just the first step After you block/evade the attack using the stick/hand, you'll then attack to force the opponent to submit either by attacking head on or getting his weapon then attack.
As someone who has never really committed to learning any martial arts this did make sense, especially at 5:27, the rapid fire demonstrations made the big pictures really easy to follow.
I appreciate that he demonstrates each technique with him being armed and unarmed and his attacker being armed and unarmed to show that your reaction is the same no matter the situation and so the priority is to develop the best instincts and technique base instead of specializing based on what you or your attacker have.
Woah! This is the exact stick disarm concept by moving in that i saw on Icy Mike's channel a couple days ago.This master is just doing it better and with two sticks. Crazy !!!
Thank you so much! I have only recently thought about non-edged tools being used to train my body and entertain as a form of martial arts. I have been fencing epee for 42 years. I know how to do it quite well. But I am so encouraged to see AMAZING videos like this. My biggest problem is Pintados moves so quickly, I cannot see how to copy him. Please show more videos. I am enjoying this artform very much.
I thought FILIPINO MARTIAL ART ISN'T EFFECTIVE,NOW I KNEW SUPER EFFECTIVE I WILL STUDY THIS KIND OF MARTIAL ART. THANK YOU FOR TEACHING US. GOD BLESS US.
Closer to reality, thank you GM Oliver "Pintados" Garduce, FIlippino people living closer to the nature make use some tools to defend themselves. Pure, bare -handed fights are the last resort. What I appreciate most is putting levels to defence, showing techniques for beginners, then mabe intermediates and those for the advance, like complex block, armbars + counterfighting, etc. As you know, beginners lack speed in terms of reaction, what is the last resort for them. Paul,67, retired instructor of Karater.
This beautifully demonstrates the philosophy of "defanging the snake." Every move is designed to neutralize the attacking weapon by going straight to the source.
I am a practitioner of nunchukas and these are basic moves in my art also. There is no such thing as a "block" as every move by the opponent gives an opportunity to strike. Bottom line to top, the ONLY way to use these tools effectively is to start at the basics or you can and most likely will hurt yourself. EXCELLENT video
South East Asian martial arts are so unimaginably brutal, precise, and underrated So many varieties that operate on “kill or be killed” mentality that teach how to truly survive when your life depends on it Also, because of this mentality (unlike many other martial arts) most hand to hand uses elbows and knees to attack for maximum damage to your opponent Definitely recommend to anyone who has practiced good framework martial arts like karate, judo, boxing, etc Beginning with South East Asian martial arts is certainly doable, but the intricacies of it are much more understandable if you have prior martial art/combat experience Just remember, martial arts are an art form that turn your body into a weapon, you must know when not to use them as much as when to use them, for this, as well as martial arts themselves, a sharpened, aware, and meditative mind are just as important as a honed body
I love this simple perspective, that allows extra freedom in controlling, reacting and dealing in real time. I am not saying that this is simple at all; but I love this combat focused combat art. Arts that focus on internal or external training are great as well, but arts like this that emphasize technique are so fucking pure. Beautiful.
No one will ever change my mind. If you want self defense you HAVE to learn Judo. Every martial art fails the moment you get grabbed by a big guy you cant overpower, but get his neck in a pretzel cutting his air supply and you are safe. Remember, the best defense is running and avoiding conflict! If you get robbed at knife/gun point, dont be a hero, your life is more worth than your possesions.
Perfect illustrations in first minute of the same principle that makes aikido, tai chi & other so-called soft arts effective even in the street. It’s always about moving off the line of attack then counter, either to immediately neutralize the attackers or disrupt the attackers balance just prior to throwing or striking. That is the JKD-ish value of studying at least the basic nature, and perhaps weaknesses, of various techniques & systems. Good stuff. Going to subscribe & watch more.
I also like to say jkd-ish, but jkd was a principle that bruce lee thought should be applied by traditional chinese; only to find out that FMA and other southeast asian martial arts in general, apply the principle he thought long before he thought of it.
It's really interesting. Light short weapons really work completely different to longswords or foils or staffs. Longer weapons have a lot of momentum that are harder to redirect so you gotta commit to blocks to throw people off the balance. Foils are just ridiculously fast
I remember what my instructor said during my basic arnis training. He said The movesets you learn in stick fighting will apply to any household weapon you can find in the home, knives, rods, wrenches, etc..
Reminds me of punch-blocks from heavy fighting with a bucker. Not much you can do if you block the blade, but blocking the hand you can push it afterwards since the blade has no substance to it, but the hand has. Sure, if you have to stop the blade, stop it, but if you can, stop the hand, then he can't make a follow-up without regaining his hand. Reminds me of that there are many styles of martial arts, but some moves, are so intrinsic to how the best way to mechanically move your body that they always show up in all serious martial arts, weapons or not. I'm more used to weapons, so there are only so many ways you can effectively move a normal sword. Sure one can do fancy tricks, but they move away from the simplest and often most effective blows when it comes to body mechanics. So keep it simple stupid. It will take you far. (Fancy tricks can work, especially when unexpected, but they often sacrifice force for an odd angle. Or risk hurting yourself if you're doing it exactly right. That's why the simple stuff is so important. Coz it works.)
This filipino's way is so much near to the Wing Tsun way. Acctually the Proper WT way! In my School my Sifu teaches Escrima (Kali) and the methodology of the two arts are very similar. Max Respect!!
You need to test your art against real aggression. This demo lacked that. Think instead of people like Emin, Bill Newman, Rene Latosa. They understand fighting.
@@VTSifuSteve Thanks for the sugestion! I agree with you, we need to test to see what really works and how to improve it. My lineage has its origins in the methodology of Sifu Martin Dragos (former partner of Emin). We recently disassociated ourselves from Sifu Martin Dragos precisely because he said he was against Sparring. This opinion (among other factors) was against the martial art view of self-defense of my Sifu, and also of mine.
@@VTSifuSteve In my School we are all big fans of Emin too. One of the few that really developed WT to really combat. Both my Sifu's are ones too and i wish to reach this level soon.
It's really awesome how everything works when your partner is just doing exactly what you want with no resistance... for example at 4:23 when the guy just attacks from the opposite side than the instructor was expecting and the instructor is completely defenseless.
Nah dude. You can see his expertise in how easy it seems. The faster, or should I say, the more instinctual his response, the better the practitioner. This one is an expert, no doubt. Now, I don't read minds, but I think that he needed a certain attack to demonstrate. You can see that the attacks are in order, and similar to ones before and after.
@@roey201 You're right, he needed a certain attack. He needed it to come from the side he wanted. Otherwise it was random, and therefor too real for his "technique" to work. But I'll be really straight forward with you about all this, since you seem interested. None of this crap actually works when it matters. And I'll give you a really good tip that will save your life. you see someone with any type of weapon come at you, regardless of your bullshit training with weapons in some park somewhere.... just run. Just leave the situation as quickly as you can. these types of "martial arts" are all bullshit. On top of that... when are you really getting into a fight with someone. Those days are over. And historically we also know how all those fights/wars went down. they were brutal, based on luck or battlefield strategy (which was mostly incredibly shady business, with no honor to see who was REALLY better) and it was over in an instant. This bullshit in this video... this isn't the way things work. Here's a REALLY awesome test you can do in fact. Give your friend a black marker, big one, and let him "attack you violently and with serious intent with it", then take all the things you've learn about defending yourself in melee combat and tell us all how many black marks you have all over your body. The way this guy is just swinging once, and then leaving his arm there for the instructor do what he wants (or keeping himself locked up by holding his stick) is a lot of bullshit. People don't attack one another like that when they want to hurt the other. if you can't tell, I have a serious hate for misinformation like this. It gets people thinking something that isn't true, and can actually get them hurt if something random actually happens in their life because they will think they can actually fight when in fact they should have just run away.
@OG Gaming you seem like the guy who just says no to ALL martial arts without even trying to look at what it is. YOU don't get the point. when he said THERE IS NO BLOCKING, it goes both ways. reistically you can do is hope and try your best to strike before your attacker can. Your marker test is a joke. if i gave my friend a marker and both of us are allowed to go all out, he'd be down before he can remove the cap off of that shit. that is the core of this martial art. it's not "how to stop a knife" or "how to disarm a gun" type of nonsense. this shit, is proven and used during their country's fight against the spanish colonialists. the things you see him do in the video are just DEMONSTRATIONS OF WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU GET INTO SUPERCLOSE GRAPPLE against your aggressor or WHAT TO DO WHEN THE AGGRESSOR ATTACKS YOU WITHOUT WARNING. it is NEVER ADVISED to get close to a person with a weapon. they NEVER said that you shouldn't run and jsut face your aggressors head on either. In Arnis you are taught that EVERYTHING happens and is decided in a flash and it's always gonna be a gamble so RUN WHEN YOU CAN. cuz running believe it or not is a 100% guaranteed win. Eskrima is NOT a self defense martial art like your little martial arts hating ass seem to think. it's used to fucking disembowel Spanish Soldiers in seconds. that's why it's not taught or marketed as such in countries outside their own while it is true that 99% of the martial arts out there are garbage nonsense, you fucked up, cuz you really chose to clown on one of the most practical and deadly close combat arts to have ever been created. did you even watch?
@@Akoto1242 dig from the past. Around 3,000 years during pre-colonial history. We literally got malaysian blood rooted deeply in our veins. No wonder we (Filipinos) got words in our language that are the same or sounds too close to Malaysians even in this modern day.
Great video!! The elegance of it's genius and simplicity, by stripping away the extraneous and superfluous, allows for immediate application and practice. Very well done.
It's also important to switch up tactics. If someone can figure out your fighting style, they can counter it & it's useless. Simply bocking an attack for the sake of throwing off them learning your fighting style isn't weak, it's strategy & allows you to learn their style kind of like a stalling technique. God, I love the art of fighting!
In real life situations the fights are typically started and ended within a few seconds. Sparring and training wise however its definitely important to not be predictable.
Oh wow, that is Kahana Bay! I had seen people practicing Kali when driving by and always wanted to stop. I trained FMA for many years and I always love seeing this combat art spread! So useful! Chee Huu!
Excellent demonstration of the Fillipino style of martial arts. Although, I do have to say as someone who's been a student of both Modern Arnis and Tkd, blocking a kick with open hands can get pretty dangerous, mainly because it's a good way to get broken fingers... just saying.
Reminds me a lot of Musashi's Niten Ichi Ryu and southern dragon kung Fu, both of which inspired my own art style. (Along with the Jedi arts of star wars. I barrow from the attack zones in it) the eventual goal for my future students will be not to block but to cut off the wrists, for example, if they had a sword. Or to use that bone just below the wrists and hit a nerve cluster in the forearm of an opponent (or biceps, neck, ect. Depends on the distance)
I may be wrong in the numbers since it’s been years, but I think this reminds me of the 6 to 4 position parry riposte I learned in fencing epee. You advance into the stab while blocking the one that was directed at your chest. I only kind of remember this specific one cuz I put it to use in my limited time lol. There’s probably a lot more and similar
I think what the philipino chuck norris is saying is that it actually would end in two .... unleass you counting the body dropping if front of the yellow cloth
thats the real point, it's aim to kill not a reward or title or anything, but when they develop this thing called art became sophisticated, but in real life it's always attack and attack no block
Great video. I guess I get recommended videos like this jow. Thanks to the HEMA videos I found. So I have been wondering. Does the Philippine martial arts have techniques for dealing against a spear? It drives me curious.
Yes they do, basically you want to close the distance and get so close that the spear is useless. With this style of fighting they like to get really close to their opponents.
