Stick Fighting warm-up arnis Kali defense escrima sword

[theelitist]

speaking of hand-eye coordination, stop looking at the ground, it is not your opponent. I have commented on your latest video just to compare the difference. The change to a shorter, thicker (and probably heavier) stick is a nice idea, but it still is your choice on what youre most comfortable in.

I highly recommend learning from a good master near you, in any martial art form. Learning from another person is still the best way to go in the path of the art.

Hey imagine there were burning flames on the sticks in the night, that would look cool!

Next vid, I request a fireshow!!!

[akai454]

Hey man, that was very cool looking and I'd love to learn how to do that. Do you think you could slow it down and show it step by step? If you do decide to please post a response to this comment so I can see the new one. Thanks

[AyR4yRAy]

OMG!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS JEET KUNE DO

NOT ESKRIMA!!!

What a disgrace

[Maty69r]

its not either, thanks for the comment

[HKSilat]

...and you don't even know how to hold sticks!

[HKSilat]

What tha...? Hey dude, try not to make fun of the art you're like a band member or something... not an eskrimador.

[Maty69r]

LoL, sorry to disappoint you my man...

But as the video description states

"It aint Eskrima"

[gmax876]

I don't know about some martial arts, I think the only people truly capable of doing real damage are masters especially in the real world, Mike tyson said "everyone has a plan until they get hit" odd guy, wise words.

[Maty69r]

I think that is the wrong attitude to approach self defense, in fact anything really

we are all flesh and bone... Just some have more than others :P

[lacuestajs]

i want to learn this! Where can I learn this?!?

[Maty69r]

Just grabs some sticks and go for it!

i don't take any lessons, just make it up as i go along

[lacuestajs]

Ok, if you say so.

[ihatewhiningbitches]

I've had my fair share of practice too. surfpunk919 is right, those assholes who made those comments don't know shit about escrima!! Nice twirls by the way

[surfpunk919]

hey bro dont listen to these little fuckers who dissed you. They think just because they watch one Escrima video that they are experts on the sport. They dont know how tough the sport is.just work on your kicks a little more

[Maty69r]

True man, thanks for the advice : )

also i have improved somewhat on my kicking since 05 when this vid was made :P

[dgtalcue]

All masters and experts went in to the process of being a neophyte and to those who think they can do best, mind you that you once become like this. Some are fast learner and some are not, but in the art of stick fighting or any martial arts style...humility is the one who receives most of the respect :-).

So keep hitting dude ;-)...practice makes perfect.

[Maty69r]

LoL hey thanks man, appreciate the wise words :P

[BloodyMaelstr0m]

Dam, you have better skillz with the escrimas than I do... just work more on the height of your kicks and it will be awesome.

[jonton12swee]

aye man. keep up the practice. everyone is so critical these days. take lessons from a master and apply ur twirling cuz u can use it, u never know. peace

[Maty69r]

Cheers, thanks for the positive... Its pretty uncommon on the net these days hahaha

Well done mate, very fluid and very fast, I've just started doce pares and I need to learn this warm up, ignore all the rude little muppets' posts, they're not real martial artists with their childish attitudes.
