You're not allowed to defend yourself over there, you wait for the bystanders to call the police and 2 female officers will come to collect your corpse.
FMA is legit. Kudos to you for taking another road in your MMA journey and showing vulnerability. Humility is always waiting for us as we try. new things.
this is a good reminder that once weapons that have a reach much beyond punching range come into play, skill with said weapons becomes more important than anything else including size, strength and other fighting skills.
That's why the are considered force multipliers only idiots think they can stop a weapon bare handed. Weapon vs weapon is the only way to fight especially out numbered
Remember Icy Mike saying that any pro fighter could pick up weapons fighting really easily and beat people who train exclusively with weapons pretty easily.
You are the real life Ryu. You are constantly learning from other martial artists and go around the country and world to do it. Musha Shugyo for real haha
It was worth it just to watch Jeff circle the bag screaming "Whack! Whack! Whack!" Great video as always. Been thinking about learning this art and have been looking around for local Kali schools. So thanks for the preview. 👍
Whoa it's amazing to see how effective some people are in martial arts , also really puts into perspective how diverse martial arts is basically its making your body into the most efficient tool 🔧
Anyone remember “The Perfect Weapon?” That movie had me wanting to learn this for a whole week😂. U know how it is when ur a kid. It’s definitely badass tho. 👊🏽
Filipino here! Just so you know, the stick-fighting is beginning level, afterwards you move onto knives (blunt of course when youre training) and then open-handed fighting once you mastered the previous ones. Let's say, you get conditioned by legit getting thrown into the fire.
I love Kali myself and It was great to see such an expert challenged by it lol! You're a great sport even when your not dominating Jeff. It wouldn't take you long to become lethal once you put your mind to it I'm sure. Good job bro. 👊
I love that you're already an accomplished martial artist and fighter and then step out of your wheelhouse to something like this to grow more. Hell yeah.
Usually, one can watch shoulders and elbows... but with this, even a flick of the wrist can inflict a lot of damage --- and there is no way to react in time. The stick has a lot of reach too. I have no clue how one defends against this (other than run). Awesome martial art.
Bro this shit got me dying LOL Im sitting here thinking how overwhelming everything looked and I would end up shelling up and running away too. When he was hitting the bag I got scared for you lol. The panic screams and everything during sparring sent me lmao!
that was cool. i really appreciated that. we spar a bunch here in san francisco although most FMA sparring has become more padded sticks to lower the entry barrier and blunt blades with fencing gear for the advanced guys. live stick sparring has become less popular other than dog brothers. would love to see more live stick sparring like this.
Man this video was awesome, props to you for giving it a go. For sure, it's easy to becoming overwhelmed by the attacks, especially with double stick sparring.
Brother you did much better than I did the first time I did this. It is a scary and overwhelming experience... But much respect for stepping in there and doing it. Do you see yourself continuing learning this art....
This looks amazing as a martial art. First time hearing of this actually. I’m gonna give it a try. I love how Jeff is always expanding his knowledge. True Mixed Martial Artist!🔥
So Jeff, well done, looks like a lot of fun! Your next step is to put on armor and join us in medieval combat. I’d love to have you Visit and train with us here in Japan, you could try some of our samurai armor.😁
😂😂😂 that was exciting and funny at the same time. I was so hyped watching it and wish I was there to try it, especially the two handed combat 😁 Also really good vibes and your comments were really entertaining 👍
You are really a great martial artist. You just dont stay on an unarmed style of fighting but you also explore those armed/weapon based fighting styles.
Props to being open in regards to fear when dealing with a new form of sparring even with all your experience as an mma fighter. It's not a small thing to do that in front of thousands of people online.
I just started stick fighting and Panantukan. It’s crazy how much different it is than hand to hand, first time I did a live drill I couldn’t even believe it lol
Well that seems fun! Does they involve wrestling or other strikes in kali? You said that you are scared but i think MMA is way more dangerous and intense (i do swordfighting and MMA so just comparing my experience). Your reflexes were actually sharp AF and you did so great fighting this style against experienced guy! :)
Ive met a lot of martial artists and heard a lot of RU-vidrs who all talked down about systems of Kali... they just never been whacked before. Great job trying something different Jeff
You can see why this can devolve to cave man hitting. The armor dampens the blow and everything happens so fast it can be like button mashing in a video game.
Sir @Jeff Chan there is also empty hands kali. One of Bruce lee's Kali teacher is Filipino Dan Inosanto. Its like Muay thai but a little different and it incorporates wrestling. Can u add it in ur MMA?
Hi Jeff I’m planning on competing in a kickboxing tournament 3 months from now and want to perform to the best of my ability. I train everyday for about 2 hrs, this includes pads, heavy bag work and sparring depending on the day. I also swim for cardio. I want to put in some extra work by myself to better prepare but I’m not too sure what kinda exercise to do other than shadow box and visualize plus extra cardio. What kinda program and extra training would you recommend?
Kali practitioner here. You can incorporate some long guard and semi-mma style footwork in Kali jeff. Your stick should be your lead hand and your rear hand should be covering your face. It is best also to use some karate footwork and using feints. Amazing video jeff didn't expected this goodjob❤❣
If you're not used to the distance and parry angles of stick or edged weapons, it's extremely confronting. There's heaps of motion economy to learn along with the balance of the weapon in your hand. I wouldn't be able to do much better than you Jeff, and I've been trained in swords and sticks for 10 years. Cool vid. Now go and visit a kendo dojo!
Trying different martial arts is so much fun, and I can't express enough how long time hobby-ists should do it, and don't take a break from jiu jitsu to focus on judo. Take 3 months off and do Tai Chi, or maybe pick up fencing, something completely different. None of it matters, but it's just another fun physical activity that your body will enjoy doing. Tai Chi though was a blast, look up your closest school.
