Oh how I wish this video weren’t my most viewed video as the techniques I was showing here are naive and borderline imbecilic. I’m so sorry :) The techniques shown are for demonstration purposes only and were done mainly for their fun/play value. Please check out our other videos for our more "combat-oriented" training sessions. Train safe and train smart!
My FMA background includes Rapido Realismo Kali, Modern Arnis, and some limited Pekiti Tirsia Kali and Dekiti Tirsia Siradas.
Actually kali is an older art than wing chun. Ng Mui lived between 1662-1722. Magellan was killed in the Philippines by Datu Lapu Lapu where kali was described by a Portuguese writer and sailor in the book Suma Oriental 1512-1515. Kali and silat were brought the islands when they were part of the Majapahit Empire - 1293 - 1527. They are branches of Kalaripayattu.Shaolin kung fu dates to the 16th - 17th century, with the Bodhidharma legend at least.
dont mind the negative comments from Keyboard experts, if they were any better they would've posted their own videos. good form and speed love your stuff
I learned arnis from a young age by my father and godfather who migrated to Hawaii after World War 2. Later traveled while in the military learning more from other people, styles and system. After retiring I moved here to the Philippines, Cebu to be exact I thought in the states and Europe was was high speed training, well it is but you should come to the source. They got it in high gear here. But keep training be safe and God Bless! I hope you all could make the journey here to the Mother Land, All martial Arts is good, it depends on the practitioner.
its very nice to see someone demonstrating a martial art without showing off. it makes it honest and beautiful to watch. to all the people making disrespectful comments: keep an open mind in all martial art or you'll never get far.
0:08 I am learning JKD at a school in my hometown and we just learned that arm trap last week! It's so nice for a novice like myself to recognize a technique from your video. Excellent work by the way!
@TheBatahsug Kabayan! We are located in Greenhills, San Juan! Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos. We'll be waiting for you!
After twelve years, still nice to see. Sure a lot has changed since in FMA, particularly in Escrima and Arnis, but Kali sticks mostly to the Base and their roots in Panantukan and solo/double Baston. And its great and so much important to repeat this basics even if you are high rank student or master. keep up the great work and spirit of FMA Mabuhay to all Escrimadores and practising fellas out there.
Thank you, brother, for the continuing support. I am and will always be a lifelong fan of the art.
That is great. Thank you sa pag welcome. See you soon guys. Mabuhay kayong lahat. Thumbs up! Way way up. ;-).
I'm not an expert. I'm just a Physical Education elementary teacher learning MA from youtube (but I did earned a yellow belt in taekwondo back in 1995 but afterwards no more formal training). I started my interest in learning Krav Maga and Kali on my own for my own protection on the streets. And I can personaly say that even without formal training, Kali actually worked in street fight My aggressor (obviously without training) went throwing wild punches at me. At first, all I could do was slap his punches away. And then at the right timing he threw a left jab at me that I outward block with my right, that he followed with a right cross (or was it a right hook?) that I blocked again with the same right hand followed by the traditional left hand grab, and from there (left) I knuckle-fisted the guy with my right, followed with a left hook to the face, and then spinning back-fist again with my right. It was a simple move but i looked so much like a trained fighter for someone who only learned stuff from the internet. Wait... I'm not sure now if it's Kali.
People think this MA is for MMA or some shit. It might work if you’re really good at it. This MA is more like a close range fights. I’ve seen my friend used this MA in a fight and that was pretty sick cuz he finished him in a second and he almost break his opponent’s arm.
In the history of World Only KALi WIN the battle against gun canon vs bolo and archer.... in the battle of MACTAN PHILIPPINES
Very nice hand work. I enjoyed it much.
Kali and Silat does work. The reason it doesn't work in MMA is because of distance. Kali/Silat is more for close quarters combat similar to how jkd and wing chun work. In a mixed martial arts cage you have freedom of movement, in buildings and tight corridors you do not. Some of the best security and special forces units use Kali and Silat. It is deadly effective in the right situation.
I agree! Every art has has its strengths and weaknesses! Thank you brother!
The last answer precisely explains why the sport is different than an actual self defense event. One is a sport, it is staged, in a ring, like boxing is in a ring. In a real self defending, battle for your life event, it would be different. Even an untrained individual going about their day, if attacked by an assailant, may and has full potential to kill the assailant many different ways. And if attacked like that, in example an attacker with a knife, club or gun, the one who fights back, if it is with the intent to finish-kill the assailant, stands as much chance of being killed than vice versa. This is why it is stupid to attack someone lethally. Because that individual is going to fight to survive, and will not stop until they have killed the attacker.
Your wrong. This is only good for movies not in real life situation. A good boxer can easily knock that guy out cold and that's the reality.
Kali works in MMA, the reason we haven't see any UFC champion from Kali background is its smaller talent pool. Had Philippines have bigger tourism than Thailand, there would be more US gyms train Kali than MT Silat works in MMA, the reason we haven't see any UFC champion from Silat background is mentality. >50% of Indonesian ONE/Pride players came from PSHT background, while the rest came from Pencak Dor where >50% of Pencak Dor players came from Pagar Nusa background But only few, if not none of them utilized silat technique. Most, if not all of them utilized BJJ instead. Meanwhile, none of Silat world class player interested to touch MMA. Al Jufferi Jamari is a kickboxer, but he only do kickboxing to enrich his conditioning methods for his Silat Had Indonesians have faith in their own tradition, they could advance further. Simple logic, there're too many players better in BJJ than Indonesians, but not in Silat. Yes BJJ is better at ground fighting, but they should've do BJJ only for complementing their Silat, not dumping their Silat for the BJJ....
@@rodskie25junior57 oh really go up to any silat and kali masters and say that to their face
All the great things i would love to learn are thousands of miles away from Ireland :( Thanks so much for the videos guys.. Good luck with everything
This is some great work. If your not skilled enough you won't have the speed to quickly execute these techniques Which will allow your opponent to slip out and counter attack.
Thank you, brother! I understand, that that was your polite way of saying "these moves are more on the fancy side', and I appreciate your kindness! :)
so much here... keep watching it over and over thank you
Thank you so much, brother pls keep safe!
those are some awesome techniques, very nice video, never even imagined you could maneuver an opponent like that
Great video, showing various moves. I like the way people on the most part, keep their eyes focused on the movements of the opponent; it's very critical in giving faster times to react. If fast motions of attack are not seen from their start, it is likely too late to stop it because the brain takes time to give the signal for our muscles to move, so every millisecond counts. Thanks for sharing, from the wonderful country, Philippines!
the thing i like about kali is that they train with the understanding punches come in bunches.
@Bakunaga I have practiced krav maga, jkd, wing chun and brazilian ji jutsu but i don't think they can compare to eskrima since eskrima or arnis is so much more effective and deadlier in my opinion, because unlike wing chun, fma by itself with no influences is perfect. You see unlike like other martial arts, fma is fine on its own with any major influences. Thats what makes filipino martial arts the most effective out of all.
Your videos makes me want to start practice again.
i want to see more more more!!! awesome work you guys! i'd also like to see an instructional video on some basics fundamentals and principals of this style!
Wow an old video and very cool. I need partners to practice all this stuff with. I only know the basics when I was in the Philippines with Gerald.
Yall look like a pretty chill training group.
Yeah!!!!Filipino MArtial Arts
A Very Nice Demo vid.- Circular , Soft , Advanced - I love it ! Best Wishes !
nice!!!!!!! im loving that first technique!!
This is good stuff...thumb up
Nice stuff, looks like you guys are having fun!!! Mabuhay
wow that was awesome, nice flowing movements
@ARTBUS1 actually, contrary to popular belief the battle of Mactan was a true battle not a duel. From Pigafettas' journal who was the chronicler of Magellan, he said that Magellan was struck by spears hurled by natives and died covering for the retreat of his already beaten men. They sailed with three ships but only had enough crewmen to run two ships back due to the heavy losses incurred during the bloody battle.
i am realy impressed. massive respect.
Good stuff guys!
This is amazing stuff...I wish I know more on FMA
@cthomas1701 Thank you very much! You honor us with your kind words.
Hi mga kabayan. OFW po with a strong desire to learn. Glad to see this site. Thank you for the email add. My time is usually limited in the Philippines but will sure be visiting you guys. Is this in Makati or Ortigas? Salamat sa inyo at buhay na buhay ang FMA. Great skills guys.
Nice flow work brother!
Brother, you're too nice!
@@bladesociety I've applied different things from different martial arts and crafts, lol, for over 30 years in handling Emotionally Disturbed Persons (EDPs), criminals, and terrorists, in 7 years of working in psychiatry, and 23 years of law enforcement and military special operations, so there is that body of work, not fighting on bouncy mats as in mma or UFC, or doing movies as Bruce Lee, that has grounded and humbled me to recognize real world, workable and applicable concepts for less than lethal, working with EDPs, when you have to use haptics, as in hapkido and aikido, in order to not hurt psychotic people, and as well, against criminals and terrorists, how to kill or maim, close quarters, charging bull attackers with knives or shanks, which was illustrated somewhat here, which is why I said, "nice flow work." The charging bull redirection and trapping work here, as well as some of the Chi Na, body breaking for limb destructions, can all work off some of these flows, which I have actually worked against inmates in close confines. And yes, I do not like the "freeze frame concept" of this, "stop and I'll do this and that" type shown here, however, they are such as can be tested with such equipment as Spear High Gear or similar full contact equipment and pressure tested, which is where such "freeze frame," training can then, either be proven or discarded - as some things which, when your ammo runs dry or your space is confined, you may have to apply in a worst case scenario, as we cannot always dictate - break contact and shoot, for every edged weapon situation.
@@jeffreylardizabal3964 Brother, that was beautiful. I've always placed more value in what people who have had real experiences have to say. I would love to hear more from you. Honestly, I have had only one encounter in which I had to fight, and it was against one unarmed guy who I caught in the act trying to steal from my car. I cannot imagine the number of hostile situations you've handles owing to your varied background. I hope we get to hear more from you and your experiences. Thank you so much!
IMPRESSIVE
@goosenooseable Yes, Pekti Tirsia is very similar to this and I can highly recommend it. There are different styles of Kali and Pekiti is one of the oldest and most effective styles. I trained for two years and I can only say that I have learned more during this time than during my 7 years of Kung Fu and 4 years of Karate.
Great stuff guys. Watching u guys in motion makes me happy to know that FMA is alive!
great video
dapat ituro ito sa mga PE ng schools for self defense narin! nice armless combat!
Absolutely Awesome ! ! ! Unbelievably smooth ! BTW does anyone know what the music is called?
Just making a point - FMA's are old, and have actually survived into modern times and modern martial application with their integration into several military forces. Battlefield and street tested gives me a pretty high opinion of them. I have survived having both knives and guns pulled on me. Changes one's perspective.
Nakakamis to Doc ah musta kana.
@MaharlikaAWA Yes, you're right! We're very very near Greenhills shopping center!
I love this
nice, thanks for sharing!
nice kali techniques
Not gonna lie this was recommended to me
@bladesociety Do you work out in the gym too and runon treadmills and lift weights?
@MaharlikaAWA Yes, it is!
@Peekingduck i cant remember the title, but its a soundtrack from either tekken 5 or 6, so i suggest looking for those on youtube.
@bladesociety Isnt that where greenhills market is? Like in Metro Manila?
I can see why wing chun and kali schools were made. there is one here in Houston signing up asap!!!
where can I find a school here in east TN/ southwest VA? Can you give me contacts?
I think techniques need to be a bit varied depending on your opponent like if you are up against a smart and well-trained one or even just someone physically larger and stronger, you probably will think twice utilising some risky and complicated moves. You gotta go for the kill the soonest you can like going for the eyes or just run away.
I appreciate the constructive comment, brother, thank you!
I still love this🥊🇵🇭🇵🇭🔥🔥
Thank you brother! You have always been gracious!
nice hands n arms wrestling.. how it works to a stronger opponents..?
really good
is pekit tersia kali similar to this? i live in san antonio and there is only one instructor for fma here
Where is this gym at? Is it in the Philippines?
Yeah. That's what I meant. Just because I replied to your argument doesn't mean I'm contradicting you. I'm actually adding up to your argument.
Good Stuff.
Nice to know it's Filipino...
@Lastdragon93 I was talking about wing chin
any shorter moves 1 or 2 or 3, Thanks
looks like fun
@ 1:20 That little part where guy on the left punches and the opponent on the right blocks and detours the path of his fist, I was wondering: Is that a common 1st step you are suppose to take before delivering your self defense blows to the attacker? I ask because of course I've seen "the Bourne Films" and when I was watching the behind the scenes in one of the movies, I noticed that same gesture. It's an extraordinary martial art and would be nice to learn nevertheless. =)
Best defense against a knife is to convince the knife holder that you have a gun in your pocket. It worked for me.
HELLO SIR .. MERON BA KYONG BRANCH DITO SA PARANAQUE CITY . O KYA MALAPIT SA PARANAQUE .. GUSTO KO KC MATUTUNAN ..
Awesome
You're too kind!
Hi matey...I'm thinking maybe you have also been in a few street fights ..
sir meron ba kayon branch sa bohol ????
That's why Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan died in the Battle of Mactan Because of this art guns and cannons VS knife and sticks
All I have to say is when are we going to stop with the demos with always using the first punch ? When do we do restiance like the dog brothers?
when the student is advanced, and understands the concept of the drill. Even the Dog Brothers dont start that way, they build up to it. First a student has to learn the mechanics of the technique, and then they learn the application later. Drills are mean to to show the technique to the student, one has to learn to do it properly, no matter what martial art you do, that is how the beginner student will be shown, then once they get it and know, you up it to the next level. It is like playing Rocksmith, the first time you play it you play single notes, then you play chords and as you progress you put it all together. But first you have to learn the little things, and how to get there... going full speed, and against a resisting opponent off the bat isnt teaching you that, and can lead to bad practices. Start slow, get the technique and then you can add more as you progress.
but i will say the knife stuff here is pretty sketchy. But for empty handed stuff, I think the above applies.
David Downs I understand what you mean because I used to do jkd concepts and trust me I understand the process of learning . But I will never see a Kali or jkd person just introduce them selves talk about the knife, show the technique and now show it with aliveness. When ever a person comment on jkd or kali demo stuff but yet do not show restiance they always keep trying to give that process of learning before you get there and I truly believe that's there excuse of getting out of being held accountable for not teaching a person aliveness. Yet they can collect that money and justify the price due to them being in a tree or lineage of other teachers teaching pattern crap. Its become a scam. When some one has this mysterious lineage now no one can now question there methodology. This a new day new era its the era of mma and we want to see things that work and work against trained people when some one is not allowing you to do it not a patty cake drill or you do this and I do that. The key is restiance. If you want to learn how to fight you have to have the person fighting back. Thats my take to much pattern and no aliveness.
Anthony Allen, the problem is that real knife defense is hard. A slight change in angle of the knife attack can mean you got cut or stabbed and no one really attacks like they do during training drills. There is an art to learn, but realistically angles, footwork, and parry and blocks trained during live sparring is all you need to learn for defense.
Hey i nvr heard of kali style before
@Mider999 You are right but engagement for a cop in uniform against a criminal is a slightly different matter. In my opinion (I have held a concealed weapons licence and been an avid shooter for over 20 years)is that if in a street fight situation if you dont have your gun out and trouble starts up close like it most often does by the time you see the knife you wont have the time and distance to get a good shot off. Taking one hand out of the fight to reach for a gun may get you killed.
san ba club nyo gusto kong matuto.
very cool
@Yo Whatssup I was talking about wing chun
meron po check guro chris roque sya po ang guro sa paranaque group :D
You will never trap/catch a knife wielding arm in a fight as it's flailing about. Don't even try it.
That is great advice! It is always safer to keep distance than to try to engage a knife-wielding assailant. Thank you!
@MaharlikaAWA Haha sometimes, when I get bored.
Bobbing and weaving? Looks good in boxing, but in reality, it's the best way to absorb a powerful knee strike to the face.
@TheBatahsug Of course kabayan! I just sent you a private message!
KALI and SILAT...if you take LI and SI...from the two words...it is KALAT....kalat ng moves pg di pro ng demontrate...infairness may isang pwedi na...praktis pra ma perfect..👍
Thank you, we appreciate all comments negative or positive
im filipino.and im ashame of my fellow countrymen not patronizing our own art
@copypacercopypacer you realize that all of those martial arts you stated including FMA are made up of different martial systems right? Kali/Arnis/Eskrima has obvious influences from kuntao, silat, western fencing, and in some schools even jiujutsu. I agree that kali is very practical but also has it's limitations.
Bruce lee learned kali from dan Inosanto and in return Dan learned Jkd philosphies.
@Bakunaga kuntao and silat is part of fma and the only western fencing i know in fma is the ones that are used in sports, which is not meant for actuall fighting. the only system that uses fma with jijustsu is eskrido, man fma schools only use whats native filipino since it is known to be more deadlier and lethal then what is taught from bjj and wing chun schools.
My kind of Style👍👍👍👍🥋🥋🥋🥋💯💯💯💯
ours too! thank you!
@@bladesociety You're very welcome😁✊✌
I agree with cthomas.
Both wing chun and kali is good when it comes to self defense. No martial art is superior then another, it depends how good the practitioner is. for e.g. Rookie kali vs expert wing chunner= Wing Chunner Rookie wing chunner vs expert kali artist= Kali Artist. Do you understand my point?
But I'm not sure about Kali empty hand against knife attacks. Knife attack on the street is not just a single-action movement. Just like wild street punches, they will stab you multiple times successively. So I don't think a kali empty hand flow wont work. I'd rather have a stick or a lead pipe at hand, or if possible escape. Or better yet, pull out a gun.
I agree completely, sir. I would never be comfortable facing a knife wielding assailant while unarmed. And in a street encounter using melee weapons, I'd me comfortable with a lead pipe in my hand than any knife. And tama din po kayo. In the street, the gun is king.
kat mana ni? area pj or shah alam ada ka?
ni at Filipina
@Bakunaga Easy, panantukan is better then wing chun, panantukan doesn't need any influences. Its good on its own, unlike wing chun and ji jutsu which rips some things off of filipino martial arts.
sa san juan po sila :D
Not to mention Wing Chun is actually older, and is only similar in regards of trapping techniques.
Is the guy in black a police officer?
Hi! He's not :)
ahhh fair enough, apologies~
