Why I Don't Disarm The Stick For Self Defense | Filipino Martial Arts | Kali | PART 1 

I learned Kali from Ted Lucaylucay (and some of his Filipino master guests), whom was a JKD guy (student of Dan Inosanto) too so he worked some of trapping, etc., like you see here back in the day. The video is about "Disarming" (from the outside), but AFAIK that is pretty advanced. If you have the outside distance, have good JKD style footwork, and the timing down okay, but in basic Kali you learn how to defend (and attack) from each of the basic 6 or so angles (advanced more angles and more straight/poking directions are considered). But I'm no expert. A nice thing about it is you can apply Kali to swords and other weapons (other than just sticks). So if you needed to defend yourself and there's a pipe, a plant stake, or better a knife, etc., handy, Kali training could be applied to take advantage of the weapon distance and/or cutting edge(s). Can be applied to open hands as well. Assuming a orthodox stance, a #1 angle could be a chop or backfist, a #2 angle would be an overhand right, etc. Really worth learning.

@@joeneighbor it’s more of a time commitment issue, school is grueling 😩 but i would love to check Kali out

Sweet! Let me know how it works out! Maybe I will do another video talking about sparring. :)

@@KevinLeeVlog You totally should! I was trained to always aim for the hand when i have a stick, that's the disarm. When in sparring, we wore mma gloves on both hands so that a stick wouldn't hurt when hit. Granted, we would also use foam padded sticks as well, but we knew to appreciate stick-boxing.

Can't hold anything with numb fingers that aren't there.

Disarming really will be finger missing!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 specially when the are all broken and beyond repair....

I agree with your preparedness because bad guys are looking for victims everywhere and the more non-intimidating you are, the greater your chances are of being approached. I'm a 4th black in kyokushin plus four years Judo plus 10 years kickboxing but I'm also skinny, non intimidating and look like a potential victim. And it doesn't help that I prefer to walk, jog or ride a bicycle instead of avoiding conflict by driving a car. So I always carry pepper spray called the fogger which has a wide spray instead of a narrow stream (a 2-inch can is legal but a 4-inch can is illegal, so stay legal), as well as a four inch piece of PVC pipe with 4 long thin nails sticking out of it like brass knuckles, only the PVC is legal (and you can quickly pull the nails out of it if you see a cop about to pull you over, (which never happens by the way because I look like an innocent person, no tattoos, no menacing look in my eye). And I also have an expandable ballistic baton but I hardly ever carry it because it is a felony if you're not a security guard with a permit to carry one. So, and only when I'm riding a bicycle, I would carry a cut off piece of garden hose, the length of my elbow to my fingertip, where I would tell the cops that I'm about to buy a new hose and I want to make sure it's the same manufacturer and size. Just remember your weapons need to look legal and a hose really hurts when used across the face or shins.

If you are that afraid to go out of your house why don't you just get a gun permit? You think you are going to take on 4 or 5 guys with your little baton? No really......

@@johnmatonne7834 in Los Angeles and because I'm always on foot, I've been approached by bad guys a few hundred times throughout my lifetime and never three or four at a time. Always one. The second one is standing by waiting to run away. Or pick his friend up after I have bounce him off the ground. Your vision of three or four guys at once may only materialize for you so good luck.

@@johnmatonne7834 I have all the concealed carry weapons (ranging from expandable batons, tactical whips, pepper sprays, tactical knives, and most especially handguns) with me, enough to take out multiple attackers, plus my situational awareness or presense of mind is always on point. I choose when to engage and finish, and when to engage and escape. I know exactly what I'm doing and if I die, at least I died fighting, unlike you, you keyboard warrior.

@@ives3572 Yeah, I like to avoid places and spaces that have certain types of people who are more likely to be dangerous. But, I'm sure you thought of that. The best way to win a fight is to avoid it in the first place right?

Action flex from Century Martial Arts!

Even if you have the time you may not be able to see it clearly.

@@annoyed707 same could be said about sucker punches

Check out Inosanto Academy. Or you could check their website for local affiliate schools.

I only teach disarm for training purposes. I don’t look to disarm weapons in real life situation unless 1) I have no choice, or 2) I happened to have control of his weapon. Then maybe disarm could happen. And yes, you do want to control the thumb pad area. In the video, I used my punyo to hook his thumb for the disarm.

@@KevinLeeVlog THANK YOU, I CAME ACROSS ONE OF YOUR WING CHUN VIDEOS AND AM VERY IMPRESSED WITH YOUR OPEN APPROACH TO TEACHING AND HUMILITY. I REALLY LIKE THAT YOU EXPLAIN WHY YOU DO CERTAIN THINGS.

Except the police will then arrest you and you will go to prison. Your principles might be good in the battlefield or in some niche warrior society but in most civilised societies you are not allowed to be excessive in your defence.

In that case just run.

Not really. Most of what he did there were not 2 separate actions, but 2 actions at once. Like the tap on the knuckles and then control the weapon, these are two actions sure, but one with each hand, done virtually simultaneously. In a fight tempo, that's counted as one action, and quite a few different martial arts use that idea to their advantage (such as the parry-counter, each hand doing one). When he did do 2 separate actions, the second one was done using the momentum of the first one so that they "fire" pretty quickly. One example is the dodge, hit inside the arm, hit outside the hand. Once the stick hits the inside of the arm, the movement of his body drags the stick to slide under the arm, and the momentum that creates (instead of coming to a full stop after hitting the arm) means that he barely needs to do anything except twisting his hand the other direction for the stick to come in contact with the opponent again. Flicking your wrist is such an easy and fast motion if compared to, say, a full kick, that it can easily be weaved as part of another action. Normally it's a motion that doesn't generate any significant force, but if you do that by taking advantage of an ongoing momentum, it can do some damage considering a hard weapon vs bare flesh. Most of the strikes he did show, I understood them to be simple displays of possibilities. He did point out that after controlling your opponent's weapon, they will try to use the other hand to attack you - and you should prioritize striking that hand. But he also shows that, hey, from this position you can attack pretty much anywhere and they can't do a lot to defend themselves. But do strike their hand.
