African American Machete = Afrikan Kimarekani Kisu Na Fimbo (African American Knife & Stick)

[ogtribalpinoy]

This must be a trend, Afrikan Americans learning Kali (Filipino Martial Arts), and learning it badly, and calling it theirs. STOP THE THIEVERY!!

@ogtribalpinoy There is no thievery. It was taught to him by Dan Inosanto. He created his own style from Inosanto's teaching.

In all due respect, if you are unarmed and attack a knife wielding opponent with a reverse punch, then you're asking to be stabbed. It's the absurdity of the way the demo is set up that bothers me the most. In F M A, the attacks, even for demos, have realistic speed, focus, and intent behind them. Doing this posed stuff develops a false sense if security and poor reaction time in a real encounter.

I'm African American, haves studied a variety if arts, and agree this looks like Filipino Martial Arts with an African Shirt on. How does that mae it "African martial arts? " because African Americans are doing it?

[TheSubwaysurfer]

I ain't trying to hate, but who attacks a guy with a long stick empty handed with karate style reverse punches. I realize this is an old school demo, but even for a demo, some practicality needs to be emphasized

that martial art is uneffective :

wow...A (very sloppy) combination of arnis, silat, police baton, done with a dashiki on....to make it, "african-american"..wtfe. Cass should come down and fuck you up.

Bad azz moves bro!

Hello,

May I suggest you utilize some different footwork?

It's very lacking in all the demos you show here. Also, you're practicing some really ineffective knife stuff (especially your reverse direction move) during your close in work).

@Panzon300 Good points..This whole thing is very sloppy.

[sigmacombatsystems]

Very cool. I especially like the blade work. I'll be sure to check out the rest of your vids. You ever think about DVDs or a distance program?
