baton stick

[battery77]

I got the power!!!!

[deathbyjypsy]

I need a video teaching me how to twirl

[jacobtehnewbpwner]

EVERY BODY WAS KUNG FU FIGHTING!!!

[FutureMarine246]

how exactly do I twirl the baton? i cant quite get it down

[wmpyr]

@FutureMarine246 the twirling cause it looks good as in most hollywood films (Star Wars lightsaber scenes and in many sword fighting scenes) is really not vital, however it can teach you fluidity, snapping, throwing & combos. You can still learn those 4 skills in ways other than twirling, so if you can't get it, fortunately it's not that big of a deal, I advise to learn other aspects of the stick/baton and then when your over all skill level is higher you might pick up twirl!

[audiocable]

never stop moving. never move in a repetative motion, dont allow the enemy to understand u. confusion is a very easy and effective technique

[GlaBurnzUrHouseAK47]

u a cop, you seem very familiar with that tool, or is it just brot over from some asian martial arts???

[xnickx29]

Those are some pretty cool moves there man. I gotta learn some soon lol

[oldsgtmajusmc]

I have found that repeated basic movements with a collapsable baton works well-personally the more complicated the movements the more you may get hurt-do you have some more vidios to watch? keep up the good work-whitewolf oldsgtmajusmc

[wmpyr]

@oldsgtmajusmc nothing like good ol basics and dedicated reps :) yes I should have plenty more vids floating around yt. thanks again for your comments!

[oldsgtmajusmc]

i really like these vidios by this young man-teachs it well and the movements make sense-i teach use of a collapsable baton so i can use some of his movements-whitewolf

[wmpyr]

@oldsgtmajusmc thank you! Your words are too kind! I've played a little with a collapsable baton, I really should get into it more. take care

[Cropi]

On the wrist "twirl" thru the single swing--Is the stick making a full circle? I find my wrist is getting alot of pressure and a callus on my forfingerinside knuckle--

Should I be swinging my arm more?

PS Great VID!!...maybe slow it down abit...

[wmpyr]

thanks, my advice is that the movement needs to have a natural flow, so it shouldn't crank your own wrist. if you actually hit something while your wrist is cranked you can hurt yourself. so take it slow and exaggerate the move and try to find the natural motion. it takes time. so yeah go ahead and use your arm more for now. for grip, you can wear a glove, you have to learn how to hold the stick and how to relieve/transfer pressure, once again it takes time.

[asd45687]

Thank you, very helpful vid!

[wmpyr]

your welcome! glad it can help :)

[chisme0]

Hi I would practice one stick figure 8 work very fast and I am not staying with the movement to be able to repeat myself

[wmpyr]

my best advice is to practice the basics tons more, simple swings, single circles. You have to do everything slow and controlled, buy doing this with the basics you are learning how to learn.

[chisme0]

please explains more slowly.good video

thank fron spanish

[wmpyr]

thanks for watching!

what is it exactly that your trying to learn?

[powerfury]

I've recently started kali myself, after doing mma for some time. The reason for it is mostly as I've been interested in it, and particularly for self-defense against a knife, so proficiency with a baton would be ideal for such situation (well, as ideal as the situation can be).

Just wanted to say keep up the good work, 'cause you're doing all of us a favor. And I'm not sure if I missed it in your stick forms video but I've seen one dual stick form where you make the infinity sign, know of it?

[wmpyr]

thanks!

unfortunately rare to see people train in other styles after mma, so good for you!

not sure what you mean, infinity, figure 8, basically are variations of circles, and there are a ton of that in Kali!

[powerfury]

Ah, yeah. Well, I very much enjoy mma, and it's fun and a great workout, however, it assumes a lot of things about the opponent (which come in the form of rules), so it's not ideal for only self-defense, but it's great as a sport.

And, yeah, I'm well aware of that. I was just looking for an instruction on one specific type of dual-stick drill where you make the sign of infinity/8 with the sticks, but it's hard to explain when you don't really know what you're looking for yourself.

[bm5423]

great vids, they help alot. check out the coldsteel batons. they seem pretty cool. what do u think about them?

[wmpyr]

thanks,

I haven't used theirs so I can't say, but the best baton/stick I ever had was one I found on a "street" walk.

[onlylookingforgod]

Master wmpyr...Great Videos. Infact it really got me into trainning with a baton. I started out practising with 8 and S. Yesterday I broka a wooden stick so today i will go to kungfu supplies to get some. If you ever need any eqiptments from Hongkong, I will be honoured to have them sent to you.

[wmpyr]

Hey Thanks for the kind words, but please do not call me master! I am a teacher/instructor/student, nothing more ;)

[dgtalcue]

The frame 1:29 is really not a good idea(as what you've menstioned also)simply because the stick can easily get out of ur hand specially when it hit something(like if opponent just place his stick while you're twirling). That move are for Fiesta Marjorettes(hope I spell it right) only =).Grip full is the right one.Twirling also help you do multiple hit to the opponent.Check out the Hellboy II movie in the prince fight scene with the kings guard.He twirl his 2 sword with an open hand =).Not good

[Saddler1993]

you look like Jet LI :D

[wmpyr]

I've actually met Jet Li, and sadly it wasn't a very nice experience.

[bmounir]

What happened with jet li ? :)

Cool technic, I just bought an asp and i'll begin to train with this exercice. Do you have more combo to show us ? If yes don,t hesitate to post them ;)

thanks again bro

[wmpyr]

nothing, he just wasn't really nice.

thank you for your comment, good luck with your asp training.

[dgtalcue]

BMOUNIR may I ask what "ASP" (batton) stands for?

WMPYR which one you think is much better? Straight extensible batton or the sprint type? Thx

[wmpyr]

not sure what the sprint type is, extensible baton is okay, not 100% impressed with it, the best stick I ever had was metal.

[dgtalcue]

Sorry typo error...its a spring with the metal head at the end.

[wmpyr]

like with the knives, I prefer manual :)

[slingninja82]

awesome video man! but lol why do all that twirling and spinning when u could just take the stick and beat the hell out of ur attacker?

[wmpyr]

thanx!

there is a video on the internet where security with a baton is trying to defend against a mob, and he swings at them and they get in on him and beat him up. With practice, the spins and twirls become fast strikes that make it hard for people to enter like a jab in boxing.

[slingninja82]

can u please tell me the name of the video?

[wmpyr]

it was a while back, I don't remember, more specifically it was police vs soccer hooligans I think... and it was shot from a clear side view so it was easy to see what was going on.

[theforceq]

You look high on this video, when you start talking ~hahaa

Do you smoke weed ?

Your eyes are glowing red ~lol

[wmpyr]

I was probably tired,

I'm straight edge, so no weed, no drugs, no drinking no smoking.

[theforceq]

That's good, I'm trying to cut drinking out of my diet.

[MisterAaronSmith]

I agree, hang on to that stick. Kali folks would call that second technique a florethi. (I think that's how you spell it)

[wmpyr]

thank for watching!

from what I understand the Dog Brothers are the ones that strongly emphasize that.

[Piotrek830324]

Very nice !! even with some russian language :) 5/5

[aikidoshomenuchi]

again ... well done , the music , the footage , everything. Is that philipines kali technics ??

[wmpyr]

thank you!

I guess you can say it's Kali. But it's really a combination of my own experience from a variety of martial art styles.

:)

[dgtalcue]

Cool! This shows how far you've been with your sticks. You know well the fundamentals & ur great in explaining these. I just watched the Forbidden Kingdom of Jet Li & Jacky Chan. Like Jet Li said "Learn the Way and Find Your Own Way" and I think you have a great way c",)

Keep Posting Dre

[wmpyr]

thanks for the kind words!

I realize I have a lot to go, good luck to you in your training, and wish me luck in mine as well :)

take care

[JckthRppr]

Again, a great video. But now I'll have to think twice before I attack a drummer :p Anyway, gonna practice the techniques, thanks.

[wmpyr]

hehehe! I've never faced a drummer ;)

good luck in your training!

and thanks for the comment!
