whatever you guys say, lapu-lapu defeated a group of people although tired and hungry but have rifles and cannons at their disposals not to mention iron breastplates . . ..
Any form of fighting is effective if those who practice it knows how to use it well whether its kali, karate, wing tsun or even taekwondo. Its takes brains and skills to make any martial art effective.
every martial art has there advantages excrpt ufc thaat is a game that why i am a black belt in karate and going to start krav maga ufc sucks haven't u realize that the each fighters are train in 2 certain martial arts and stupid fools just want to do MMA without realizing that

i tell you!! mountain people who practice this are more deadly than a normal practitioner... here in Philippines mountain people rule in terms of ancient arts.
@booringdude069 Also important to note, he's been in the area 21 years before he "discovered" the Philippines. Also important, the kingdom of Luzon (吕宋國）started diplomatic relationships with Portugal also 21 years before the Philippines were "discovered". That's how they could talk to the natives. Third fun fact, most of Magellan's men were already dead, those surviving were weary. Only 21 soliders were left. Lapu-Lapu on the other hand, just returned from battle and had an army at his disposal
@GaolisVideoLog There is no such thing as a kingdom of Luzon. But there were Rajahnates and tribes scattered all over Luzon. The existence of the so called Empire or Kingdom of Luzon is a hoax. Much like the code of kalantiaw that tragically taught in schools during and well beyond Marcos' time. Although there are records (Portugese records) that Portugese made contact with the "Luzones" (people of Luzon) "atleast" a decade before the Spanish even set foot in Luzon.
@SenkanYamatoMaru There was one single Rajahnate, the thalassocracy of Maynilad founded 1500 by Sultan Bolkiah. The rest weren't Rajahs. References to 吕宋国 can be found in the Ming annals, the Japanese chronicles as well as the reports from Portugal. However, an "empire" Luzon is ridiculous. It was on the pol. periphery. You can tell already coz ppl only talked about trading routes that pass by that place. However, what add. supports that theory are Hokkien place names like Vigan, Tondo or Lihan.
@GaolisVideoLog Rajahs in all effect and essence simply is translated to a "King"..."What is in a name???" Rajah Humabon was not a Rajah by reference of the Chinese records since the chinese historians didnt seem to think so? Is that what you are saying??? The Spanish seem to think that he is a King/Rajah? So where does that leave the argument? The Portuguese records speak of "luzones" who do not have kings but are ruled by chieftains. They are probably Pampangos and not the Tagalogs.
@GaolisVideoLog In fact the Potugese reported that the "Luzones" were trading in Melacca and that the Malays hire "luzones people as mercenaries for their fierce fighting ability...If your referring to the Sanfotsi and the Toupo records, The Chinese annals were vague in their record entries. No one really knows for sure where those locations are, only theories and speculations...I like the way you argue...you present references...But it does not have the context I'm looking for to be convinced.
@SenkanYamatoMaru Sir, are you a Pilipino? If so, do you live here in the Philippines, and Where did you get your informations regarding Filipino history, specifically the Pre-Spanish Philippine history, I am very interested reading more about Philippine/Filipino pre-Spanish history, want to read more about our history... could you kindly give me your references, preferably books and authors, so I could find them and read them with my own eyes... eagerly waiting for your reply sir.
@banyohazard69 Yes, a Filipino. I am a student of history and I do not mean I'm a pupil. Much of my argument over this kingdom of Luzon can be verified by doing basic research on the internet. Although I was privileged to read/view some historical Malay annals courtesy of some close friends in Malaysia and Indonesia, you do not need a Phd in history to have access to the points I made in my arguments...Most of it anyways. Read @arucons argument. He makes excellent points. Historically correct
@banyohazard69 Another thing...Wikipedia is not a reliable source of facts. It is good to read Wiki as a "Base" to do your research but do not take everything written there as gospel. What you can do is check the links of the purported "sources" of the info. Sometime people just post references there that do not actually contain what they entered in Wiki. A hoax ika nga...Katulad ng Empire/Kingdom of Luzon na yan. Another BS is the so called "Code of Kalantiaw". It was a hoax!!!
@SenkanYamatoMaru I already know that Wiki is an unreliable source sir, I was asking you if you had some book titles with authors that would help me in my reading about Philippine/Filipino (pre-spanish) history; I am into Filipino Martial Arts (Arnis,Kali,Eskrima) and I am fond of reading about Philippine history (pre-spanish), I think we the next generations of Filipinos should re-discover our peoples history to bolster true pride and honor among our people and eradicate colonial mentality.
@banyohazard69 Good...I think I'm a bit ahead of your generation kid but I like younger people like you who studies pre-hispanic history. For me it's not because I am ashamed of my hispanic hertige, which I am not, but because it is part of who we are. history in Phils is mostly about during and post colnial times. As if the Filipino as a race or group of people never existed before. I got interested in it when I was about ur age and I had the chace to read Indo and Malay manuscripts...
@banyohazard69 I came to the realization that we were part of a much greater culture which is the Malay peoples before the Spanish came. Anyways. Most of the books I've read were very old dont even remeber some of the titles. I do remeber "barangay" By William Scotts...Also Maria Christina Halili book just do not remember the title. her book tackles some of the hoaxes and the BS pre hispanic histories "invented " by idiots to make Phils history flowery.
@SenkanYamatoMaru Thanks for the useful info regarding the books and authors sir; I think that it is essential that we Filipinos rediscover our roots and "real" history as a people, so that we could move forward as a country and as a people, nowadays the Asian countries (our neighbors in the region) are getting more prosperous at the same time building on their respective identities as a peolple and as a country and all this is possible because they know who they are; it's time we discover ours.
@GaolisVideoLog 1st part - And another thing my friend, to quote what you wrote "Also important, the kingdom of Luzon started diplomatic relationships with Portugal also 21 years before the Philippines were "discovered". That's how they could talk to the natives."...I don't know where you got this one but the reason why the Spaniards can speak with the natives is because they had a translator. A SUMATRAN name ENRIQUE who was Magellan's slave...
@GaolisVideoLog 2nd part - The Spanish had CLEAR RECORDS stating that the island natives understood a certain level of "MALAY". It was in fact the "lengua franca" of the region according to the Spanish. The Malay peoples in what is now the Malaysia, Indonesia and Philippines can communicate using the neutral language which was an older version of Malay. ThAT IS HOW ENRIQUE was able to translate for Magellan AND NOT because the natives spoke Portugese. To begin with Portugese IS NOT Spanish!
@GaolisVideoLog Part 3 - Again there is NO STRONG EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST A Kingdom of Luzon but there were in fact records, from the Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese and even Arab records that there were KINGDOMS in luzon and all the other Islands in Pre-Hispanic Philippines, albeit small, they were kingdoms as they were ruled by people who call themselves Kings or Rajah or Lakan...
@boipinoi604 It's always safer to give the guy your wallet. A few years back, the french police special forces invaded a home of some islamists in Paris. One of them got stabbed with a knife and died. Knives are very dangerous. But to your question, You first learn how to fight with a knife and will spent at least a year doing so, before you learn some defensive techniques. This way, you know, how a knife works. Only fight against an armed guy if you've no other chance.
@GaolisVideoLog You're right.. Fighting against an armed guy should be the last resort... I watch these videos and think that it's like regular thing to do since they train so much of it
@boipinoi604 UFC is this unarmed "Ultimate Fighting Championship" originated in the west, right? Arnis is a primarily weapon based system, most of the time you're dealing w/ situations where either you or the other guy or both are armed w/ at least a stick, a knife, a machete or a combination of these. The focus is different. I think you want to see Yaw-Yan in there. Not Arnis.
@boipinoi604 UFC is a sport for entertainment. eskirma, kali or arnis is a far more extreme way of fighting. its an art and a fighting form combined.. this is not for entertainment , this is for ones survival...
Comparing eskrima with UFC is like comparing boxing with Kendo. An eskrimador fights with weapons and bare hands on only if he is disarmed. Hand to hand combat with Eskrima focuses on fighting with an "armed" opponent who can kill you with one blow as opposed to UFC or Pride fighitng, etc where one blow is not enough to kill you. If you want to test Eskrima, go get yourself a knife or a sword the try to attack an eskrimador. Then perhaps you will see how "ineffective" eskrima is.
@boipinoi604 so am i. kali/muay thai actually has influences of muay thai - kicks n shit. i practice both arts. its just that kali is more along the lines of street fighting (finish it as soon as possible) muay thai is more sport. but i enjoy practicing them both.
@justincredible418 Muay thai is crazy.. If I got into a fight with some random guy I would much rather hope that they are a taekwondo master than a muay thai fighter.
the more unstable the place, the more brutal the fighting, I've observed, particularly here in asia. most of those fighters back in the states have a lot to learn from in eastern arts..too bad judo and karate get all of the attention...thanks to hollywood
@mallcorekidsdie i think that eskrima/kali is more mainstream. they just don't advertise it as such. in movies like 300, bourne identity/supremacy/ultimatum, kick-ass,equlibrium,book of eli. the hunted, quantum of solace etc... it is used.
militaries of the u.s. etc... incorporate it coz it is very efficient and intuitive specailly for close quarters combat. it's a complete art though it's really for killing. i don't know if it could translate well to sports/competition such as the ufc or mma.
@fingertapper1 I agee..and its amazing for self defense..or offense when you're without a gun. to use in MMA, or for this jason charater to step in the ring like its MMA is a foolish approach. it takes more than a little holiday tour with jason and bill to come close to amstering this art.
if you watch krav maga, do they not have some fo the same motions applied?
this martial art is really effective, esp in the street, it has good reach fast effectve, you dont just train with the stick, they teach u empty hand against hand or hand against knife, so even if u dont have the stick, u can still defend urself against an opponent, ESKRIMA also teaches u locks and TAKE DOWN DEFENSE like BALIOG POMALE against styles like jiu jitsu
This is what I love about Silat and Eskrima they are violent out of necessity and they have kept their violent heritage unlike Karate that got watered down for sport :(
Eskrima is really great for learning angles and ranges, learn some or even a little to compliment whatever else it is you're using. Some of the movements feel like they're from wing chun and tai chi chuan, real nice.
in one philippine show,it was said that kali or eskrima was used by our first hero here in war........and that war was between ferdinand magelllan and our hero,lapulapu from mactan cebu in the philippines.....
@aaronon1 in eskrima you train with many different length weaponry. training can go from empty hands to stick and dagger to double dagger to double stick to dagger and sword to sword and stick to knife and and sword or any of the above just by themselves. it looks very nice and fluent as a 'martial art' but believe me eskrima was created to deal lots and lots and lots of heavy damage to your opponents tools (tools being your arms and legs)
Actually in Wing Chun you hit and block at the same time in most occassions.Wing Tsun is a branch of Wing Chun.The two systems differs in that Wing Chun tends to be more traditional.Wing Tsun in the other way differ in the stances of the body at that it has some new principles,witch can include even ground fighting and Eskrima tactics.Both of the systems is effective.Personally i have trained in Wing Chun and i have a 5th level grade.
you're not kidding. and then the Americans came and committed MASS GENOCIDE there. I believe one general was quoted as saying "Kill them all". I know you hard core "patriots" don't like hearing the truth some times, but you can look it up. Escrima arose from the need to combat the Spanish sword and dirk style of fighting.
hi guys i jst wannna say that eskrima,kali and arnis is jst da same the pronouncesation is jst difference and it's bec. of different language of philippines like in tagalog they called in ARNIS while in visayas they called ESKRIMA and in mindanao called KALI^^,
damn this show suck some major monkey nuts i mean no ofence but its just so corny how there always like "this martial is abrutal fighting style" and im like they all are there all martial arts there all brutal
best is the episode with krav maga, where the big guy states" ive have never experienced a martial art that blocks and strikes at the same time in such a way as krav maga do".. but it made me wonder, because the in the previous episodes, they had been training karate, muay thai, sambo and even wing chun. and wing chun has many counter techniques as those of krav maga.. so.. duh?? just wanted to point out that i know what you mean.. x-D
He was talking about a hit where you literally strike and block at the same time, extending two hands. In styles like wing chun, you block and then strike very quickly.
Wing Chun is not the same as Wing Tsun, first off, and second, Wing Chun practitioners block first then strike very quickly. In no way do they extend both hands at the same time. The proof of this is in the very fundamentals of Wing Chun where you step in to strike, which would be impossible if you were literally striking and blocking at the exact same time as seen here in Krav Maga.
Wow, I didn't know Escrima is so popular in Cebu. (I'm Filipino but from Manila) I wished we trained this martial art back at school. I also hope that videogame developers and designers will create a Filipino character utilizing Escrima. ^_^
One of the characters in one of the recent Mortal Kombat games used what they claimed was Eskrima - it didn't look very distinctively Eskrima, though. But then, that whole game was kinda shitty in that respect, alot of the styles seemed the same.
The character of TALIM in the fighting video game Soul Calibur uses Filipino Martial Arts of Kali, Arnis, Eskrima; Soul Calibur was made by the same people that made Tekken videogame; obvious ba Talim nga name e. ^^
FMA yun Filipino Martial Art; pag binasa mo sa Wikipedia according to the game developers it is a double blade or dual dagger ang gamit nya not an actual tonfa, ginawan lang nila ng konting play para maging uniqe ang weapon, basahin mo yung WIKIPEDIA article nya pre, daming info, Talim is a priestess or BABAYLAN in our ancient culture.
Saka Tonfa is used in Wingchun(chinese), pero yung kay Talim ay dual daggers then it is FMA , kasi in FMA they teach you to use dual knife or dual daggers, it is called "DAGA Y DAGA". hope all that helps, lets support our own pre and spread the word sa mga kababayan natin na may colonial mentality pa rin.
kung alam lang nila na even the U.S. special forces and law enforcements of western countries try to learn our native fighting arts 'coz of its potent nature, no BS, no fancy poses or pretty moves just straight up killing. while researching at it search mo na din yung mga "Juramentado" and their connection with the 45. caliber pistol or M1911, also a nice read.
@banyohazard69 is it possible to learn this art in the states? Do they even have schools for it, or would I have to go to the native country to learn?
@face2facechick you can absolutely learn it here in the states. I have trained (in NJ) with the Doce Pares school/family and even had the chance to meet Grandmaster Canete twice (in the yellow uniform) who Bill and Jason seek council with at the end. It is a GREAT art to blend and cross train with others if you have worked with other martial arts as well.
You can find various schools if you search on-line. Sometimes it will also be referred to as Kali or Arnis... they are all related.

@boipinoi604 so am i. kali/muay thai actually has influences of muay thai - kicks n shit. i practice both arts. its just that kali is more along the lines of street fighting (finish it as soon as possible) muay thai is more sport. but i enjoy practicing them both.

@justincredible418 Muay thai is crazy.. If I got into a fight with some random guy I would much rather hope that they are a taekwondo master than a muay thai fighter.

the more unstable the place, the more brutal the fighting, I've observed, particularly here in asia. most of those fighters back in the states have a lot to learn from in eastern arts..too bad judo and karate get all of the attention...thanks to hollywood
mallcorekidsdie 1 year ago
@mallcorekidsdie i think that eskrima/kali is more mainstream. they just don't advertise it as such. in movies like 300, bourne identity/supremacy/ultimatum, kick-ass,equlibrium,book of eli. the hunted, quantum of solace etc... it is used.
militaries of the u.s. etc... incorporate it coz it is very efficient and intuitive specailly for close quarters combat. it's a complete art though it's really for killing. i don't know if it could translate well to sports/competition such as the ufc or mma.

@fingertapper1 I agee..and its amazing for self defense..or offense when you're without a gun. to use in MMA, or for this jason charater to step in the ring like its MMA is a foolish approach. it takes more than a little holiday tour with jason and bill to come close to amstering this art.
if you watch krav maga, do they not have some fo the same motions applied?

this martial art is really effective, esp in the street, it has good reach fast effectve, you dont just train with the stick, they teach u empty hand against hand or hand against knife, so even if u dont have the stick, u can still defend urself against an opponent, ESKRIMA also teaches u locks and TAKE DOWN DEFENSE like BALIOG POMALE against styles like jiu jitsu

@aaronon1 in eskrima you train with many different length weaponry. training can go from empty hands to stick and dagger to double dagger to double stick to dagger and sword to sword and stick to knife and and sword or any of the above just by themselves. it looks very nice and fluent as a 'martial art' but believe me eskrima was created to deal lots and lots and lots of heavy damage to your opponents tools (tools being your arms and legs)

Actually in Wing Chun you hit and block at the same time in most occassions.Wing Tsun is a branch of Wing Chun.The two systems differs in that Wing Chun tends to be more traditional.Wing Tsun in the other way differ in the stances of the body at that it has some new principles,witch can include even ground fighting and Eskrima tactics.Both of the systems is effective.Personally i have trained in Wing Chun and i have a 5th level grade.

you're not kidding. and then the Americans came and committed MASS GENOCIDE there. I believe one general was quoted as saying "Kill them all". I know you hard core "patriots" don't like hearing the truth some times, but you can look it up. Escrima arose from the need to combat the Spanish sword and dirk style of fighting.

He was talking about a hit where you literally strike and block at the same time, extending two hands. In styles like wing chun, you block and then strike very quickly.

Uhhh
lol
Wing Chun is not the same as Wing Tsun, first off, and second, Wing Chun practitioners block first then strike very quickly. In no way do they extend both hands at the same time. The proof of this is in the very fundamentals of Wing Chun where you step in to strike, which would be impossible if you were literally striking and blocking at the exact same time as seen here in Krav Maga.

One of the characters in one of the recent Mortal Kombat games used what they claimed was Eskrima - it didn't look very distinctively Eskrima, though. But then, that whole game was kinda shitty in that respect, alot of the styles seemed the same.

karlos000119 1 year ago
@karlos000119
FMA yun Filipino Martial Art; pag binasa mo sa Wikipedia according to the game developers it is a double blade or dual dagger ang gamit nya not an actual tonfa, ginawan lang nila ng konting play para maging uniqe ang weapon, basahin mo yung WIKIPEDIA article nya pre, daming info, Talim is a priestess or BABAYLAN in our ancient culture.
banyohazard69 1 year ago
@karlos000119
Saka Tonfa is used in Wingchun(chinese), pero yung kay Talim ay dual daggers then it is FMA , kasi in FMA they teach you to use dual knife or dual daggers, it is called "DAGA Y DAGA". hope all that helps, lets support our own pre and spread the word sa mga kababayan natin na may colonial mentality pa rin.

@face2facechick you can absolutely learn it here in the states. I have trained (in NJ) with the Doce Pares school/family and even had the chance to meet Grandmaster Canete twice (in the yellow uniform) who Bill and Jason seek council with at the end. It is a GREAT art to blend and cross train with others if you have worked with other martial arts as well.
You can find various schools if you search on-line. Sometimes it will also be referred to as Kali or Arnis... they are all related.
