Technique, distance, , timing. All there. But two things stand out. Respect for the blade and...control. You are not trying to punish or hurt but rather to get to the truth of it. Excellent work.
i love the video ,this method of training looks great.where are you in cali?i am from boston but go to california a couple times a year and would love to look up your "dojo".i am also interested in this training bolo when you have them available.thank you
if i am already good, maybe il reconsider trying practicing my skills with either kris, kalis or kampilan... bolo, nah... i had one at home, its not sharp and does easily get dull.
my, my... aren't we a bit rude here. i was talking about my bolo which haven't been sharpened. i don't have those nice sharp bolos that you have, what i have is the ones that is only used for gardening(bolos have many other uses than a fighting weapon you know).
like i said before, a bolo is a multi-purpose tool. strong as axe yet as sharp as a sword when sharpened. even a gardening bolo can be a deadly weapon when used properly with eskrima. fyi, i am training both arnis and karatedo for almost 6-7 years. i am not challenging anyone or anything i am just giving some random comments out of randomness.
man, this looks really fun and more realistic than actual sparring.. i really want to mod my bolos to be non lethal so i can try something like this. nice play btw
Excellent work Guru, you and your boys move well. You are all a credit to Guru Dan. I read your responses to some of the comments...I just wanted to say I am one "Puti" who respects the old ways. There are good and bad people in EVERY culture.
this looks fun. excuse me my filipino brothers and brothers in martial arts.. what kind of equipment are u using for the bolo? are u putting foam on the blade end? plz let me kno I would like to do some light sparring as well with some of the other students in my school, maybe we can train alike. -jon A.
I think as a sport WEKAF is not good either, there are better and more realistic ways to present the sport side of the art. Why people like it, I'll never understand. The same way I don't understand why people like point fighting in karate or musical forms, etc...
wekaf is good too. it's just differant. the problem is too many peoples sucks in wekaf, which make it look bad. most only emphasize the offensives and neglects the other side. diba? there is truths to everything out there brothers...

The Dog Brother clan are friends of mine. With regards to the T-shirt, I understand it to be his way of expressing that he does Kali like "doggy style".
Yes, If by first glance you look at the shirt & you didn't know what it really reffers to you will have other ideas.
Im not knocking your guys skill cause you got plenty of it...the point im trying to get at is PUTIs wanna exploit our shit take for example Dog brothers...they have a womens line of clothing with just inapropriate classless sexual innuendos that I guarantee you NO GURO/MAESTRO would be happy with. Dont believe me? Check their site. "wanna do it doggy style" What the fuck is that shit? It's just bad bad taste
Inappropriate, yes maybe, but I'll tell him that face to face because I respect him enough as a friend wether he listens to me or not.
But to comment on people you have never met & make judgement on their character just based on their color makes you as bad as any bigotted, racist people who treated our people long ago, & maybe still today.
I'll extend to you the hand of friendship over the hand of war. but if you reject my friendship, i'm a warrior with wisdom...

noname0112 3 years ago
If you meant gardening tool then why refer to kalis, kampilan & kalis. Not rude boy, just direct.
I say what I mean. Unlike you, back pedalling when challenge. hide behind your computer screen little boy. When you are ready to meet come over.

Just a different perspective Sir. WEKAF is a great sport presenting other aspect of KALI (olisi perspective).
Ours is base on blade. We try our best to train properly with regards to our perspective.
Thank you for your comment, It's greatly appreciated.

These "Whitemen" as you reffer to them are men of character who bring honor to my Filipino Martial Arts & culture.
Who do you represent with all your hate. I guarantee that you don't represent anyone that is real Kali.
If you want to hate. Come & cross "real blade" with me!
