  • Great videos, their really helping expand my jujutsu practice, and technique. Great flow drills, since our style focus on combative flow. Check out Tashi Troy J. Price here on the tube. It'll demonstrate how we've incorporated Kali.

  • u gave him a slap/irish kiss

  • Cat :)

  • Overall it seems pretty good, but on the 5 count sinawali it seems like there is quite a bit of wasted motion, which is not true to Eskrima. Eskrima is fluid and there shouldn't be any wasted motion.

  • Kombat Instruments Limited (KIL) sells the best rattan sticks on the market. Most well known PMA practitioners including Guro Inosantos and ALL Dog Brothers buy them. Sticks are meant to disintigrate after time to prevent actual Breakage which could fly and hurt someone. Great technique by the way.

  • NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL "INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS"!!!

    you hold the sticks like a true Filipino warrior would!

    Mabuhay!!!

  • I'd like to know where I can get some rattan sticks for training in the US. I've turned the whole country upside-down, and I cannot find them to save my life. D:

  • I would suggest that you try cold steel's propylene rattan sticks. I'm sure they'd do you justice.

  • Cold Steel has rattan sticks? Oh wow, how could I have missed THOSE?! Thanks for the tip.

  • yup, they're called 'eskrima sticks' on their catalogue if I'm not mistaken. They're a lil pricey, but they ARE propylene so it's definitely worth the investment.

  • Hi Phantom, Just check Century Martial Arts Supply. They have great Rattan Escrima sticks, about $15 a piece. I get these for all my students. You will be very happy with these.

  • @AshThePhantom me, I just go to my local home depot and use dowels, but their not as strong as rattans, but their still good, great 4 practice. U can also get them at ur local martial arts store, or oriental store, or online, plenty of 'em online.

  • Godalenvgs.

    I'm no master but , yes I've broken several arnis sticks. I don't buy the best quality for that reason :( Mostly they break during sparring with Sensei. Sometimes one could smell "burining wood " in the lobbly of our dojo. Bought myself a pair of Red Oak clobberin' knobs. By the way Renoboy666: again, awesome vid, you've got some killer moves and a rare grace. Are you thinking about some more vids?

    ~Calamity~

  • More coming, yes.

  • Thanks for the great instruction. You've made me a fan of Sinawali.

  • Thanks for the complement.

  • hey, I'v egot a very big problem:S after just training with sitcks some moths I broke mine just by hitting a tree:S I know these where high qualety, bught it form the bigest Martial arts trainingcenter around here.

    Am I very strong or does this sticks realy don't bear when you are hitting hard with them?:S is this a normal thing to happen?:S

  • yay! thank you!:D thanks to you, I finally mastered the Kali basic:D practised everyday in a week with the 'haven & earth', thought it was quit confusing in the beginning:p but now I do master It^^

  • I'm glad. Just stick with basic movements and drill them repeatedly, over and over again -- with and without a partner.

  • Very good! Tks!

  • This is one of the best Youtube videos I have seen. I think the basics are best for a youtube audiance.

  • Thanks, Jesuskopp. I thought some basic concepts of relating stick motions to empty-handed motions would be good for my students. I'm glad to reach a wider audience. (BTW, I first saw this same sort of demonstration explained back in 1985 at the Great Smoky Mountain JKD/Kali/Thai Camp by Guro Dan Inosanto, so it is anything but an original idea of mine.)

  • EXCELENTE, GRACIAS por estos videos.

    de Argentina.

  • Thank you so much for the compliment, Tansao1. This is basic stuff and not necessarily terribly exciting to watch or drill, but I find that I keep coming back to material I learned in the 1970s and 80s. It's the training that I will actually use in sparring situations (and have it work for me).

  • Great job there Steve: I like the fact that you are taking time to explain the basics. I'm constantly LOOKING how your whole body moves with the Sinawali. Nicely done!
