Fighting with Escrima Sticks : How to Defend Against a Knife Stab with Escrima Sticks

[kintice]

first off all it's called Escrima canes.

i train with Escrima concept and i've got to tell you that you are holding them wrong....

[jpjdo1212]

i as a filipino feel insulted by this..

[l2a3sterling]

I like hitting the air

[l2a3sterling]

I WOULD ALSO CARRY A BO STAFF DISSCRETLY UP MY SLEVE AS A BACKUP

[kisara88888]

oh yea I'll keep hiting to his hand while he looks at it and until he'll drop knife. do you understand how ridiculous it is?

[MrMatthewUnger]

@Ogichidaakana What's FMA?

[Lee94503]

Again...just strike the weapon hand...instant disarm!!

[thepapch]

wanna fight with me i get knife u get them .. ?

[Wayofthefighter]

I can't believe there was a time where I thought these techniques were practical...

[secuter]

@wallenp I'll follow your advise then. Then pls, will you teach then?

[wallenp]

@secuter sure no prolem, if you can come to me i'd even teach for free. Otherwise you can go to where i learned my style. Go to Marikina Sports Complex near Manila Philippines on a Sunday between 6 and 11am. Inside will be different martial arts groups and styles training beside each other. Look for Philkadi. Ask for Boy Halili or Edwin Bacero. They know me personally, they are my Teachers

[secuter]

@wallenp I'll gladly do that.. but belive me.. you r surely from us and Im from EU

[Vikverjar]

So, apart from the odds of having some lunatic go at two longer weapons with a single short one...

If by some one-in-a-million chance that things go down this way and you make him drop the knife, you are now assaulting an unarmed man with two lethal weapons. Good going. Enjoy the prison shower with Chester the Molester and his buds.

[SchmokinJoe]

This video is like students teaching students.

[Xeon404]

lol, why would you use one of your sticks to block when you can pulverize the hand instead?

Also, why go into medio distance when you can stay on largo and use your sticks to the full extend of your range?

Also, as mentioned. No footwork.

[nolimitations]

This video is a sin..... no foot work, no body mechanics, no skill.

[siguenza69]

hey but carry astick is eligal not every body carry one o those

[AbuBakerSmith]

A guy that works at Wal Mart in a town not far from Wilmington N.C. that was the National Champion in the Philippines when he was 18 and then later became the Asian Martial Arts Champion. Even though he claims he has no interest in fighting anymore I'm gonna go ask him if he wants to "visit" this "School". LOL

[machdude1]

well, you could do all those fancy blocks... but I find that a few parrys to the knife hand makes him let go. also, you are holding the stick to far from the end, that can become a handle and the opponent could take your stick away.

[SamKeupoN]

@machdude1 Regarding the way to handle sticks, the end of the stick is unlikely to be the first place to grip for a disarm but this way of holding the stick gives a better control of the stick (useful with heavy sticks), allows you to strike with it and to use it for disarms.

[terrorkarpfen239]

there is nothing against a KNIFE!

this is so senseless!

[crazzyincombat]

Strike to the hand which will break the hand, strike to the head to fracture or penetrate the skull. Their finished by then.

[wryupy]

in reality the guy would stab muliple attack... and he wouldn't leave his hand up even for a second. peace bro

[gabbomushy]

yeah ur right...look at how he does the trap at 0:32 it almost hits his face....

[VeritasNicea]

Blocking in this situation is redundant. Just hit him or the knife hand. Dont need to do all that movement. Just stay away and hit him. Less is more:)

[easy2mind]

hahha i bet the little tap at 0:32 hurt a bit..listen to that bone

[Agiminatoni]

If it dont work da first time just keep hittin

[rachidizere]

lol what retard would walk around with two sticks in there hand? Normally self protection is about using your own hands to defend yourself. Not two sticks. "oh wait mate dont attempt to stab me, let me find two sticks first....and then you can try and stab / rob me."

[Southern661]

ASP Batons, they can be easily concealed and are ready with a flick of a wrist. carry them side by side. 16" - 21" and 26" telescopic rods with solid steel tips. And believe you me, its quick and almost deadly effective depending on how you use them. A hit to the hand will surely break multiple bones, fracture forarms, sever muscles.

[gmee123]

you over extend to much and are very off balance

[Gytislawas]

Knife VS Sticks :DD

[dynamole]

if you need a youtube video to tell you how to beat someone with a knife when you have two sticks then you deserve to get stabbed. hit him hard. really really hard. end of video.

[PhilippineMafia]

Yaw Yan short for saYaw ng kamataYan or dance of death is the philippine Kickboxing.Promote this FMA so it get more popular in our country.

[rjsn2109]

Why would you block him when you can hit him straight away?

[ScorchedVideos]

to block the knife trying to stab you, and to disarm him

[nedrav]

except the Arnis, and the Kali. Hey Man thinking... What was the name the martial arts what made Lapu-lapu. Not escrima.. other thing: one stick is better than two?? Are you sure? I think that you tell the big joke isn't it? Or if you think real: you need must to go in philippines..

But, You've got a trust: he need a more practise.

[MightyGoldenBoy]

Who needs escrima sticks when you can have a platemail and a bazooka, i mean the odds of you walking around with those sticks when you get in a knife fight is about as big.

And if you get in a knife fight you'll probably be so damn drunk that the sticks wont help you.

Probably better advice to just try and not get in a knife fight, i know they're hard to avoid but give it a shot.

[ericartzt]

This is unlikely to play out the way he expects.

[MMAfighter70]

if someone came at me with a knife, i dont think i would have two sticks at the ready, lol

[GammaSouljah]

unless he had them under his big long leather jacket with all his other weapons and martial arts paraphernalia!

[whiteandy81]

ok so you've got and extra foot and a half over your opponent, so you get too close to be able to use it. Why get that close to someone with a knife anyway? Use your distance.

[DuraheLL]

ok now i just gotta constantly walk around with 2 sticks in my pocket....

[Nemesisangel19]

Theyre not massive sticks and last I checked there isnt any laws on carrying sticks there are however on carrying knives also a walking stick could easily be used hell any item of stick like properties. Also escrima is very good for improving hand eye co ordination and the grappling techniques can easily be translated to open hands. A martial art is seldom one dimensional based on its teaching aids techniques ect. A smart person adapts there skills to a situation not the other way round.

[CanadianReddDevil]

yup i'm gonna walk around with two massive sticks defidently won't look suspicious...

[hindigwapo]

When in time of danger, you can grab something form your surrounding. like bottles, stones, sticks, or anything that would be of help. Arnis/kali is not just about sitcks, sometimes it teaches you about knife(balisong) fighting, and even punches or how to avoid/ block those knife and punches..... in real life, the rest is common sense, dont let fear engulf you, and luck.

[triggerhippym44]

Word!!

[blindbagua1]

STOP..being judgemental....he is just demonstrating a peice of vast system...it's just one possibility out of thousands....i TTHINK HE HAS DONE A GREAT JOB EXPLAINING IN THIS CLIP...i HAPPEN TO LIKE ESCRIMA STICKS...IF YOU CAN'T SAY ANYTHING NICE OR DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT PLEASE KEEP YOUR COMMENTS TO YOURSELF...

[n8uraln82]

It's easy to fight someone when they just stand there and take it. Only an amateur would come at you with a knife like that.

[wallenp]

you always have two hands with you, so if you dont have a stick, or anything in your surrounding that can be used as a club or blade, the same movement applies. even your gun when it runs out of bullets become a great arnis club.

[FireNinja007]

just chuck a stick at his face, and when he's stunned, take him out with a spinning back kick

[shrtgnthr]

no... get heavier sticks..hold it right.. wack wack wack. finish it....

[CR125iswhatidrive]

wack wack wack.. haha.. i like that part

[527659]

Good video but I'm wondering...

the knife attacker isn't even in range, he's off by 40cm, furthermore you're instructing us to coordinate a block, sidestep and lunge faster than someone can jab. A jab is one of the fastest moves someone can throw. I'm a bit iffy on this move.

But all in all you give clear instructions and the video quality is excellent.

[EversmanSAT]

Although I agree with you, he was talking about a "thrust" not a jab, so he's be almost lunging at the person correct? not bringing the knife back in close fast, giving time to do this blocking move.

[retsum5]

and just keep hitting it...

are you kidding me

[kporta08]

Basically Eskrima has different fighting system... With sticks, Daggers and Hand to Hand combat.... Please stop being a Di Di DI
