These guys are top class, I trained with them last month on one of my visits to Cebu, trust me they are much faster than that, they slowed it down for demo purposes. Carin Doce Pares is one of theold school styles tried and tested in actual fights. More power to them.
because it affects my family you know what? forget it. trying to make everyone who comes by this vid to understand is too much trouble and i gain nothing from it.
But only thing we can do is in time, with a lot of faith and cooperation with a stronger system. someday the Philippines will again resemble the picture my mother told me from her childhood...
I'm thinking exactly the same way... i didn't know anything about this until the other day when our capoeira teacher started to teach us some of the basics... i'm hooked already
Hi Mr el Bimbo, thanks for your GM Freddy Carin's address, and since i am new here in Cebu City....is this Dano street also in Cebu City? and also this C. Padilla strett....is this near the Colon street or area? so sorry to bother you !But i am thankful for your attention to this and your help!
man it feels so good to know that my race has a very cool martial art. i wanna learn eskrima so bad. i found two metal rods and try to learn eskrima but bleh.
are you really interested in this kind of martial arts? clubs in this craft are scattered all over the philippines but the best club ever is in cebu: sto.nino village, banilad, cebu city. I went there.
after seeing so many poor kids begging for money in the philippines and my own family betraying their own family so many times for money to survive... sometimes i just can't help but feel ashamed to actually have some relation to that place... the economy is so bad there... it brings out the worst in people...
Never feel ashamed of who you are. I am filipino myself and have seen the children on the streets of manila pouring their hands out for money, but is it their own fault its become like this? no. Nonetheless we cant do much at all to atone for the economy, with a weak government and fragile structures of the past due from war & corruption.
I like tonfa but I base on this video, escrima is way too fast when compared. But it doesn't mean tonfa has no advantage over escrima. Both has it's own properties in both defense and offense. Mabuhay Pilipinas!
yeah. take out the padding and u'll see the true nature of it. when competitors have padding, they r confident enough to just attack coz they know they dont b hurt. take out the padding and u'll know what kali/arnis is all about.
with how corrupted everything is over there i can't say i'm so sure that the phillipines will become prosperous and suitable any time soon but that would be nice.
also before i forget, read up on the Philippines alittle more, and understand its position in the world and its background before talking about the worst of our own people :P
ok you totally missed the point. the economy there is so bad that is forces people to do low things. THAT's why i'm ashamed. not because my family is poor. of course we help our family. we send them a portion of our income every month but sometimes that's not enough so they have to stoop down and do low things to survive.
