[2xChow]

face your partner and do the pinky pinky XD

[cb1ryder]

4:19 Is that thumb positioning correct?

[Darkson85]

@cb1ryder your right, but he doesn't make that mistake anymore.

[MaharlokanSovereign]

Is this 1980's Documentary??

[mistermangetout]

great martial art but gotta have a lotta pain in the finger joints (arthritis) when you get older. No way around that. Raps of the knuckles - par for the course

[wilmarc123]

very cool :) for the vids, this is cacoy martial also, iligan chapter - youtube.com/watch?v=lHWLaSAhfA­4&feature=youtu.be

[alangname]

SERIOUS SERIOUS NO SMILES

[glasco7]

Practicing formas (kata) is a way to build muscle-memory in your techniques. Also for accuracy, speed, and power. Almost anyone can kick, block, or punch instinctively. But it is the WAY you punch or kick that makes the movement effective. Just ask yourself..'Am i a sloppy fighter? Or am I sharp and efficient?'

[Moooshey]

ahahah 7:48 (serious serious no smiles)

[JayPleezer304]

yo its chad from the neptunes!!!!



[NiqueJB]

He incorporated Judo! hahahahah awesome! ^_^

[NiqueJB]

Now these are arnis practitioners. No armor, no foams. Just pure technique and guts. Kudos. And he mentioned Cebu! hahahah ^_^

[crucessilat]

Curioso Documento histórico, con la aparición, de entonces unos jóvenes, Chris Kent y Cass Magda (entre otros, como el especialista de cine Jeff Imada, al que no conozco personal mente pero sale en buenas peliculas de acción y es responsable de coreografías: por ejemplo la del caso Bourne) recibiendo instrucciones del Genial maestro Dan Inosanto, tuve la suerte y el honor (y el buen recuerdo) de asistir a cursos con los tres y de hecho éste sábado 27 -mi cumpleaños y el de Bruce Lee- veré a Dan

[MSYTManagementCenter]

Kaartehan kasi ng mga pilipino... instead na palawakin ang kaalaman sa mga sariling atin na martial arts..... sa taekwondo, karate at iba pang martial arts pa sila nahuhumaling... yan lang ang nakakalungkot.... kasabay natin mamatay ang sarili nating martial arts kung hindi natin ito susuportahan.. kung pilipino ka.. irepost mo itong comment na to...=(

[talon115]

That comb over is epic!

[ters2256]

kalandrakas

[unclebraddah]

No doubt Cacoy is a great FMA practitioner but his class demonstration in this video is typical pinoy...showing off and nonsensical training when in front of the camera.

[gsbluez77]

Why is this called Eskrima? Eskrima is the spanish name called by the spaniards to this style when they saw these style as they got in the nation, the real name is "Kali"

[bloodhunters100]

@gsbluez77 eskrima sounds better

[gsbluez77]

@bloodhunters100 Why would it sound better when it's not the orginal? It's like karate an orginal Japanese name and you'll change it to a Spaniard name? Or Kung Fu an orginal Chinese name and you will change it a Spaniard name? And beside what business does this Spaniard names have to do interfering the names of some Asian Martial Arts? They have zero martial arts there.

[GaolisVideoLog]

@gsbluez77 I'm a linguist & the term "Kali" can only be traced back to the late 1970s, early 80s & is mainly used outside the Philippines. I would be careful of referring to it as "the real name". But, most names for this style actually mean, "sword" or "fencing" in their respective dialect. Also, the Philippines were, like most parts of SEA, a bunch of thalassocracies, not one nation. Even the 1st republic, founded by the Katipunan, named "Republika ng Katagalugan", was created for Luzon only.

[gsbluez77]

@GaolisVideoLog That does not matter, even before the Japanese and the chinese were not that one nation, because of their thousands or hundreds of different dialects the reason they have different tribes, and some of them have to build a fortress to keep away some other diferent tribes

[GaolisVideoLog]

@gsbluez77 Actually, I'm an Arnis teacher. I've been doing Arnis ever since I was six years old. I trained under Presas, Rolo, Solar & Canete and Pulanco. I'm not in favor of anything here, but it's not like I just started with it. And I have the feeling that you think that practicing forms is to most Asian martial arts. Also, I never said that there are no fighting styles in the Philippines. That's just in your head. What I said is that the USA founded the Philippines in 1946.

[Spiritboymark]

Well in my opinion I can say Filipino Martial arts are very effective in adaptability and in combat situations,, I mean most martial arts base their teachings on each particular system but Filipino Martial arts can adapt through street fights/riots, wars, etc... It doesn't need any form of Kata-like movements, because when it comes in street situations, katas won't help you.

[GaolisVideoLog]

@Spiritboymark "katas won't help you." Then you have no understanding whatsoever. You see, when a boxer is going into a competition you'll see him/her very often doing some shadow boxing. This is a form. He/she is reflecting on their techniques.

Another aspect of the form is that you hand down your knowledge, your tactics to the next generation. And they reflect on that. Easy as that. Mental preparation is key to success. That's why soldiers do quite a lot of dry practise as well.

[Spiritboymark]

@GaolisVideoLog So, you mean... I have to memorize moves... In order to protect myself from unidentified techniques of my enemy?? Is that what ur tryin to tell me?? Just like what you said.. Mental preparation is the key to success... That would mean that I dont need to memorize what you called Katas.... It's only in the matter of instinct, not memorized moves....

[GaolisVideoLog]

@Spiritboymark (Pt.2) And yes, you have to memorize moves in order to protect yourself from unidentified techniques of your enemy.Tough i wouldn't call them "unidentified". It's not like you're being told what he/she's about to do. No one does that. Not even in a sports or a game like chess. That's the whole point to MA. Also, your enemy has the same anatomy as you. That narrows things down.

[Spiritboymark]

@GaolisVideoLog Sad to say... You're a Filipino.. But you don't know how to appreciate the nature of your own martial art.... You're more in favor of Japanese Martial arts.... Well.. anyway.. I can't force you to choose what you like... neither the system of fighting you learn..

[GaolisVideoLog]

@Spiritboymark (Pt.3) Further, katas ARE THE ABC's OF MARTIAL ARTS. And it's not all instincts. Why do you think the GSG-9 practices maneuvers, like taking control of a commercial airplane. If you act by instinct only, it'll end up a disaster like the hostage taking in Manila last August 23, 2010.

[Spiritboymark]

@GaolisVideoLog and about the Manila hostage taking.. Do you think Katas can save those chinese.... If someone shoots you in the head from far away.. while you dont have any gun?? I know someone must practice in order to master something... but about those katas... I dont think it's as effective as Wing Chun neither it's as effective as Kali's hand to hand combat... =)

[GaolisVideoLog]

@Spiritboymark Further I woudl like to remind you that I was talking about repetition of movements. If you actually understood what the word "form" means in the martial arts you would know what I'm pointing at. It is repeating a certain action until it is engraved in your brain, so when a similar situation pops up, you are enabled to react appropriately.

[Spiritboymark]

@GaolisVideoLog and About the next generation thing.... In the future.... We dont know what system will be used... Things could go more complex.. nd Katas could be basic as abc's, but minds of Kali warriors are the xyz's... =)

[GaolisVideoLog]

@Spiritboymark Psychologically speaking, there are different kinds of memories. Repeating a certain set of movements over and over again, activates your muscle memory. E.g. when you were little you didn't know how to ride a bike & drive a car. When you started of doing that, it was awefully difficult. But after a lot of practice, you can do it while thinking about other stuff. You're moves were automatized & are activated through trigger situations. That's what kata is for. Also, it's tradition.

[Spiritboymark]

@GaolisVideoLog Very funny... You cannot compare airplanes to martial ats.... and besides... Katas will never be compared to instincts of a warrior.... How about if you memorized 7 different kinds of moves.... while your enemy knows techniques like limb destructions, cut your arms while you are performing the second step in kata... Punches you rapidly in the face while you're starting to kick as in the 6 or 7 or whatsoever kata....

[gsbluez77]

@Spiritboymark What do you mean by founded? Cause when it comes to U.S. founding Philippines, I do know U.S. founded Philippines way before 1946, when they came to kick the government system of Spain out

[GaolisVideoLog]

@gsbluez77 Yeah, but the Republic of the Philippines. From 1913 on, the Philippines were considered an autonomous regions, because U.S. citizens were growing weary of the U.S. army fighting there, even though they supported the invasion several years earlier (well that sounds awkwardly familiar). E.g. if you look at photos of Quezon you'll see the U.S. flag behind him. The USA didn't come to kick Spain out. They bought the Philippines and stayed there til '92. At that year they were kicked out.

[gsbluez77]

@GaolisVideoLog WHAT!? U.S did not kick the Spain out and bought the Philippines? Where the hell did you got this odd information?

[Spanishfutbol2010]

@gsbluez77 Treaty of Paris, US got Philippines (including Guam) Puerto Rico and Cuba for $20 mil. There were zero Filipinos present in the negotiations of that treaty.

[gsbluez77]

@Spanishfutbol2010 The information you got is never in the history.

[Spanishfutbol2010]

@gsbluez77 Wiesner-Hanks, Merry E. Early Modern Europe 1450-1789 to start...you can read ANY books on Early Modern Europe or Spain and they will tell you Magellan IS Portuguese but he became a Spanish citizen....

[GaolisVideoLog]

@gsbluez77 Why do I even bother. 《子曰：攻乎异端，斯害也已。》那么，傻人是傻人。他们不学了。­Magsaya ka na lang sa ginagawang mong katangaan diyan. ᜉᜀᜎᜋ᜔ᜈᜐᜁᜌᜓ| ᜂᜅᜐ᜔||

[gsbluez77]

@GaolisVideoLog Why do I even bother the most. Mas magsaya ka na lang sa ginagawang mong ka baliwan diyan. And secondly, why don't you repent, be right, be humble, or if not, be sent to prison or die or get the heck out of the Philippines you black soul

[punongbayan4492]

i think, in my opinion the infuence that the japanese art gives in here is the way it uplifts the moral of the practitioner. but in japan, their martial art resulted in uplifting the moral of the nation.

[labana13]

you guys are probably puss..........

[zooyork2323]

why is bruce lee on the wall? it should be a filipino guy.

[tin1620]

Bruce Lee trained by him :)

[netjap23]

coz bruce lee was also trained in escrima

[unclebraddah]

Bruce Lee was Dan Inosanto's teacher in JKD.

[80KungFu]

I like Wing Chun more....

[roxgirl44]

it's kinda sad since I never knew that there was a fighting style in the Philippines and i'm a filipino

[tin1620]

You won't know that it exist unless you grew up in the Phils. :)

[Rcee01]

Ahahah same i am foreign to my own race.

[GaolisVideoLog]

@roxgirl44 " I never knew that there was a fighting style in the Philippines" It's coz in Philippine schools you don't learn anything about the Philippines. I notice when talking to people that they've no clue whatsoever about their country, BUT they have tons of info concerning the USA. It's coz the USA created the philippine educational system and dominate the country, by owning all natural resources and most agrarian resources. Apart from that, they penetrate our media and thus our lifes

[gsbluez77]

@GaolisVideoLog How can you say there is no fighting style in the Philippines, every country in asia has it's national fighting style, just like every country in europe has a castle

[GaolisVideoLog]

@gsbluez77 I never said that. If I may, I would like to ask you to re-read what I wrote.

[SBACRU]

The effectiveness of The Filipino martial arts is the techniques here can be applied with or without weapons. Again, the techniques here can applied with only the empty hand.

[laughingtiger123]

I studied at the IMB academy in the 80's. Eskrima is great, but you will never have a fight in real life with any kind of weapon unless you carry it. If you carry any kind of weapon you will be vigorously prosecuted. Check out San Soo and Cheng style Bagua.

[yokimkyam]

brother, about the title, its, "Filipino"..... cool vid..

[k1bagami]

Serious but it's spelled that way on the documentary though.

[ironkong26]

self pwned at 7:48

[Spanishfutbol2010]

@ironkong26 I bet that hurt

[TierDrama]

@ironkong26 7:46

[dragonfist25]

@ironkong26 yeah that was funny hahaha..

[rightinthefriggineye]

10 minutes of wearing that Kubotan all over your arms and you'd feel that in the morning! especially with Dan Inosato making sure your hitting where you need to hit!

[vokuro88]

that chubby guy landed and may have broke his colar bone in front of the camera. lol, no smiles, puta!

[Jaimru]

I practice Karate-do and Japanese Ju-jitsu. I hope to learn Sayoc kali soon because it's very effective.

[dudewheresmytoast]

Marc Denny isn't in there but Paul Vunak is. There is no mistaking him for anyone else. Akab6 you should tag this with "Dan Inosanto"

[rctrue]

All of a sudden you see what looks to be Crafty Dog founder of the Dog Brothers on the floor dominating at 0:30

[gal04]

I do Hapkido and Eskrima and it's funny to see that this is the exact training we do, great upload

[traveller89]

question! is hapkido a korean martial art? is it an offensive or defensive system?

[gal04]

Yeah it is, and is defensive

[80KungFu]

Yes Hapkido is a Korean martial art and is both defensive and offensive; its soft and hard, all at the same time. But Hapkido counts as a soft and defensive martial if you read any books. Hapkido is very good for self defense and its very well rounded, it has punches, kicks, locks and throws. It teaches un armed as well as armed techniques. You should practise it!

[Peekingduck]

Thanks for up-loading

[IambWarriorLamb]

You're awesome for putting this up! Thank You!!

[daedolos]

Those sparring freaks are nuts. No gloves. Wow.

Peace

@_*

[2233178653]

Did anyone notice Sifu Cass Magda in the red? He looks like a teenager! Guru Dan is so much better than almost anyone. A month with that guy is like a year with another teacher. He would also let you smile and not jump over people.

[Lakandatu]

That was Chris Kent.

[Lakandatu]

^_^

[spadaydaga]

The guy holding the tire? That's Chris Kent.

[lestatdea]

hahaha..the trainer actually said..

"okay face your partner and do the pinky pinky"

hahahaha

[stonerfield]

Punta ka ng probinsya, mga magsasaka dun may dala lagi bolo.

[gurugurukuma]

i like the way dan inosanto compares Eskrima to other form of martial arts. he said eskrima is practical, and can destroy limbs quicker than the other martial arts

[stecha2]

its not escrima which destroys limbs...its the escrimador

[xueshun520530]

[manokiro]

you can visit CACOY DOCE PARES ESKRIMA in youtube,and you can see more actions 25 years after the WAY OF THE WARRIOR DOCUMENTARY...

[ASanchez83]

does the Doce Pares club have a heavy judo influence in their style?

[Akab6]

It says, I believe in the first part of the video, that it had heavy influence from the Japanese arts, so it is possible but I don't know the answer to your question. I hope you enjoyed the video though :)

[ASanchez83]

@Akab6 I did enjoy the video and it has inspired me to look into studying Filipino martial arts. Thank you for sharing it.

[CelsiusMaximusXXX]

Judo influence? yes! In fact much japanese arts are incorparated, with akido included. Cacoy has devised his own style called Eskrido. There is nothing like it, really.

[victorrain]

@ASanchez83 It does in their grappling techniques, you can also see a Judo influence in Modern Arnis.

[wowawe69]

wow! very nice...

[pakamut]

very nice documentary....
