[robgaunt]

This was very helpful for me. Thanks!

What you do at 1:05 looks like a 3-beat weave from poi spinning.

[renoboy666]

@robgaunt -- Happy to help!

[tigress66]

hi, what filipino art school is this from?, keep uploading more, thanks

[pieter4151]

this wont work on the street.

[spartanwarrior1]

@pieter4151 you know nothing since it s just the surface. look deeper and comprehend its application, fool.

[pieter4151]

@spartanwarrior1 but this aint work on the street and beside that, i dont wear sticks with me all the time. lol

[renoboy666]

@pieter4151 -- Good point. I don't carry sticks with me either.

[pieter4151]

@pieter4151 However it might be work well if you keep practice those drills over and over again. Untill you are a real warrior and you dont need to fight anymore for your own good:)

[spartanwarrior1]

@spartanwarrior1 errr.....imagine this guy doing the same motions without sticks but with his palms or fists clenched...many laymen don`t see its true applications..

[Aeonnz]

@pieter4151 so the people of the Fhillipines have got it all wrong ?I wonder how they managed to cause so many problems for the invading Spanish ..

do you know any thing of what you are talking about , and for the record over 90% of these applications can be done with empty hands or other environmental objects that may be available. including Double swords and dagger .

{ it is better to remain silent than to speak and remove all doubt }

[danbau08]

Just curious what particular arnis style is this from?

Thanks

[renoboy666]

@danbau08 -- It's from a combination of styles within the Filipino martial arts, but mainly from two primary sources: (1) Dan Inosanto's system and (2) Greg Alland's interpretation of pekiti tersia, but these movements are common to most double stick techniques in hundreds of Filipino systems.

[rohaimie]

video great man!

[Snowcal09]

You're a great teacher! Thanks to both of you! : ) If this comment post several times, it's a youtube problem. Again, thank you!

[Snowcal09]

You're a great teacher! Thanks to both of you! : )

[BahoUtot]

Outstanding video. I'm reminiscing the good old days of elementary school in PHI.

[NeuroProctologist]

Hey thanks for posting this.

I just learned six count last night and made some decent progress with it overnight, but I like the way you've demonstrated it. It makes it easier to visualize the steps as a continuous movement, instead of individual steps.

Thanks again. Very helpful.

[TheSassilein]

is it also sinawali 6 standart?

[niox20]

haha, i'm gonna join my local kali club and then go ninja on the forest nearby with your drills! thanks!

[lastsuyan]

great Guro :)

[renoboy666]

Thank you!

[eteune]

this is perfect, great, great job actually teaching

this is exactly what I was looking for

[renoboy666]

I'm glad. Thanks.

[sychkid]

Great videos. They sure help me remember some of the drills and patterns I learned when I was still taking up arnis in 2003, before I shifted to Shotokan. Drills like rompida, abaniko, banda y banda, ekis, ocho, sungkiti, single sinawali, double sinawali, rodonda, reverse rodonda, kadena, etc. Thanks for posting these videos!

[maxell89]

Hi Steve, these sinawali videos are very helpfull. We just started kombatan with my friend 2 weeks ago and these drills are just great. Thank you very much for posting! A bit of trivia, I also have 10 years of Goju-ryu behind and can honestly say that until just recently I haven't been able to really understand that art. Imho, it really takes a lot of work to make those techniques work properly.

[renoboy666]

My first immersion into the martial arts was Goju-ryu, coincidentally. A 7th grade science teacher showed me two or three katas during phys ed class and then I started taking a class that following summer.

[ronin752]

@renoboy666

Really, I study shorin, and the Filipino arts really open up the meaning of many of the blocks in Okinawan karate. Heaven 6 is just a "middle block" and a punch or a "low block" and a punch. It took me very little time to pick up the movement of the sticks, because it is the same movement as our empty hand. Seems to blend well with Okinawan karate. What are your thoughts?

[ronin752]

@maxell89

I don't know. I study Shorin, but know quite a few Goju kata. It seems to me that the kali enlightens the goju. Try putting the sticks in your hands, doing the strikes Steve shows, and then doing Seiunchin. Goju movement, "Filipino" strikes and blocks. Tell me what you come up with.

[rtourtelot]

Great stuff, Steve--thanks for this. I've been training boxing and muay thai for about ten years, and have just started getting into kali. I really appreciate you posting these great drills.

[renoboy666]

Thanks. I think you'll find that western boxing, Muay Thai, and FMA all go together nicely, especially when you investigate the connection between Filipino Panantukan and the development of boxing in America, circa 1898 as a result of contact between Filipino boxers and U.S. servicemen during the Spanish American War.
