Teaching Icy Mike to Kali Stick Fight | Using what you know & adapting to weaponry | Lameco Eskrima 

Cant wait to see you try out buhurt next 🤣

Oh and the one handed weapon spin is used a lot in wmfc fighting to disguise level change and shot placement

Don’t know what to expect so you?

Excited! The fear makes you feel alive man.

Mike, now that you are learning some kali, you should look into balintawak. I feel like balintawak addresses some of the issues you have stated with using sticks/batons, where an attacker could get past your effective striking range. Balintawak eskrima in particular remedies this by involving boxing techniques with the stick on-hand, which I think would mesh well with your style

footwork is key

@Aiden Fisher you have to move ur feet to generate power from ur hips. So no youre wrong.

@Aiden Fisher 1 inch punch? Are you still watching Bruce lee movies dude? Its 2021. You obviously think you are much more powerfull than you really are. I suggest you train any mma first instead of watching Bruce lee movies and thinking ur the shit.

@Aiden Fisher okay you focus on power and all the guys that focus on footwork can focus on hitting you and somehow when you go to counter, they’ll be just an inch out of your reach. Thats the power of footwork. But it also means more power in general

@Aiden Fisher write less. Know more. You’re justifying being wrong, thats okay. If it makes you happy.but you’ve demonstrated to everyone you’re one of those “for the streets” guys. No logic, only feelings.

Let's do it!

Why and When would you use it?

I'm not sure if the term 'devastating', could be justified for a technique with such a loose grip, please elaborate

@@Muppen01 reverse moulinet to the wrist to change the line of attack for you weapon after you bait the extension, which then leaves you in position to follow up with another reverse moulinet to the temple or pterion, back of the head or set up for a stroke to the groin. As one example. You could use a forward moulinet to break a pattern that you set up when you force your opponent onto the defensive or to apply more force to set up a pattern.

@@johannesstephanusroos4969 I mean I could break someone's wrist or elbow with a reverse moulinet with a stick type weapon. The grip isn't loose at the point of impact. The grip is only loose for that split second it is in motion and then as you strike the target you tighten your hand on the weapon. You can also use a staggered moulinet as a feint. The weapon also should never be completely loose when done properly. The thumb and forefinger are tight and you are pulling the hilt into your palm with the other three fingers. It works particularly well with certain kinds of sabres because of the curve to the handle but that is to facilitate striking with the right part of the curve of the edge. With a sabre with a yelman I could remove someone's wrist with a reverse moulinet. Though more often the reverse moulinet is a set up for attacking the groin and is known as the hellish fourth in some systems. You bait out an attack from your opponent and the slightest extension of the arm or the hand offers you your target. It doesn't even need to be an overextension. I don't know how well you'll understand the explanation but if you want a better understanding of the movement by the top fencers who use these techniques, I highly recomment the Swordfish XI - Polish sabre demonstration video here on youtube; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vHPmIz-8tQM.html

@@nightshade7240 damn bro you silenced them 🤐

I've had a fractured thumb from such a thing. That did hurt.

Definitely!! 100%

Yeah, I do kali and Korean gumdo so it is a kind of a no no in FMA, but we do it all the time in gumdo with the kagum (katana).

I mean, it's actually a useful skill in Saber.

Its fun, but the grip is not strong when hand is open. If you train and get more flexibility in your wrists you can do the same kind of movement with a closed hand with much better grip on the weapon. I still do the open hand when im just messing around but not while training.

Its not like its a no-no in FMA, its just most of the time, practitioners forget that when you twirl you need to keep the grip Tight. Problem with this is that they have to routinely get their wrist flexible until they can twirl with closed grip. In practice won't be used as much in combat, but it sure as hell good for your wrist, not to mention the tight angle you can whip out the weapon can catch anyone(me) off guard.

🤜💥🤛

The reason weapon based arts have the weapon in front, is because its better over all for attack and defence. it can be a shield and a faster and closer point of attack too. Look at kendo, fencing, hema, eskrima, and other such art matches and it becomes clear why it's the preferred method. 6:20 It's not just a timing thing, it's a control of the weapon thing. If you want to risk losing your stick, go ahead.

Thank you!!

You mean LarGO Mano. Larga means to go. Largo means big/long

@@KenMikaze yes, that's correct, Largo. Sometimes I'm misspelling

Can I order that somewhere or is it proprietary?

Thanks!

Pretty much lol

JKD and Kali go together so well because Bruce preferred to lead with his dominant side, which he referred to as the "on-guard" stance. JKD peeps know that Bruce also incorporated fencing principals into his empty-hand attacks, so JKD, Kali, and other weapons-based arts have been blending together beautifully for many decades now, thanks in large part to Guro Dan Inosanto and some of his students in the Dog Brothers! I have actually modified my pistol shooting stance so that I have my strong side leg in front, which is also a better platform for one-handed shooting, something you may have to do in a self-defense situation. Consistency across categories!

Probably not lol

As far as the false lead all you said is logical.

For example, in mantis broadsword forms, we use the broadsword as a bladeguard to the forearm to close in to grappling distance and slice with a backhand in close quarters and use normal slashes on retreat. I can see Mike using a sword like this.

Great Idea!

@@metrolinamartialarts Thanks

lol why are all the stick fighters kali? because maybe there's more kali fighters that stick fight than there are hema practicioners in your area? why not have them cross train and spar together. maybe because dog brothers have a lot of kali fighters. if you dont know dog brothers, youtube it 😊😊

Yeah sorry about that

The Spanish ruled the Philippines. Much of Arnis/Kali goes back to Spanish Fencing .

Footwork in Kali is a pain in the ass. I'll make a video about it! My instructor Ron Balicki has an online training site with a lot of Kali. It's on his website! Marsonline.Ronbalicki.com

@@metrolinamartialarts Oh that would be rad! I'd certainly love to see that! And I'll take a look at your instructor's stuff, might be worth checking out :)

its just triangles, but like, a lot of em.

once you realize the triangle/ hourglass footwork is just shifted leads with square stances mixed in its super easy to learn and implement in actual rounds

​@@metrolinamartialarts I trained under the Ron Balicki lineage for quiet a while. a lot of good training!

It does!

Oh yeah, there is a shitload of grappling in kali. Tons of different chokes, locks, takedowns, etc.

I’d imagine it’d work decently so long as you utilize proper angles. Sport systems evade being touched at all as best as they can generally. And with something like this, the stick substitutes a blade, I’d imagine you want that same mindset of stay away, get in, hit, get out.

Think Triangles

It's from Lameco Eskrima International! They call it the Hand Cuff or something.

I watch a fair number

Lameco Eskrima International!

Luckily we don't fight with swords here. It's with a stick which would be intrinsically different

*flashbacks to that one comment saying that drunk people fight with swords in the rural areas*

@@mochiandturtles5642 Come to think of it machete are pretty common

@@kamenwaticlients I'm familiar with it too

Definitely

@@metrolinamartialarts Sorry...

@@patrickheath5011 you're fine! I learned from this video

It's Guro not guru.

@@metrolinamartialarts is that so? I have seven seminar certificates signed by Dan Inosanto under the designation ‘Guru’ Perhaps you should contact him and inform him of his misspelling

@@haroldscotclark7394 neat, he must've changed it. Cause I see Guro lol

@@metrolinamartialarts I guess you can’t be right about everything

@@haroldscotclark7394 definitely - if you think you are, you're wrong. Which just perpetuates the cycle 😅🤣
