Is Master Dan's assistant here a young Jeff Imada? Looks like him, though the video is a bit blurry. Mabuhay ang FMA, bigay pugay kay Master Dan Inosanto!
I have appreciated Kung Fu only from the other martial arts. That elbow technique of Kali is similar to the Baji Quan elbowing and the Choy Li Fut's Leopard arm maneuvers. Fantastic!
What is with the pointless arguments? The arts are suppose to work for whoever they work. sometimes for some of us gunting works for some others it doesnt. If you have a good hit to a muscle im sure its gonna work if your hit isnt that great then maybe it wont work. even in some modern combatives they still use limb destruction. i think that a arm wrench can still be pretty effective if done a the right time.
@theawakener7 youre like an old dog. you have a closed mind. you wont get another responce from me champ. i'd respect you if you made valid critisisms from the things i said but youre insulting and i can not learn from a single thing you say. lose the ego
@theawakener7 what distant past land are you from? windup merchant? cause I know how to do something doesnt mean I need to use it. the mere sensitivity training from silat can make a better fighter. I didnt just take silat. I took jkd, bbj, savate, capoeira, kali, and muay thai. and don't put words in my mouth. i have faith in silat. It is a beautiful deadly interesting art that I'm very glad I know. I dont need to go to jail for killing some one in a fight though which would be the end result
@theawakener7 missing is important. you missed my whole point. gunting is the same as a parry with one more motion with your other hand . its a block/counter. would i use a gunting in a fight even though i took silat? probably not. would understanding the gunting and silat help me in a fight? defenitely. (if you dont know silat roughly translates to fight and is specifically developed for facing multiple fighters
@theawakener7 its the empty hands form so the motions match those with weapons. will a guntin work everytime? no. does a jab hit everytime? its basically a pary with an extra destructive motion. you hit the right spot of a bicept with one and you can tear it so your opponent wouldnt be able to throw another one. plus theres not really any wasted motion. even if it doesnt connect right it should still parry the blow and the gunting opens up a few counters and follow throughs.
@alteph I've heard him use a term that sounded like "quintorres," which he said meant "to calculate," as in knowing where the opponent's hands must go so that you can head them off. I cannot track down the spelling, nor can I find a discussion anywhere online. Are you familiar with this term/concept?
@ZhuangziZhou what the... :D i thought you were talking about this video right here.... cause you said you are not sure of the spelling or how it's said.. so i too will not have an idea unless i here it also man...
@theawakener7 Well OK,first of all I did not say it from my mouth I wrote it but let me rephrase and say that the fact that Inosanto has moved on to other things since the 60's does not mean he is no longer the most qualified authority out there as far as JKD goes. In fact I think he is doing exactly what Bruce intended in that he is continuing on his own path of discovery and is still a student of the arts. I admire that. If that means I have been led astray IYO so be it.
@theawakener7 OK mate,I'll agree to disagree with you as I know you have some good JKD that I've seen but Inosanto is more than just a bloke,he is a bloke who trained with Bruce Lee and helped develop a lot of what JKD became at that time. Nobody else is a qualified as him on JKD not Poteet,not Wong(who had no prior martial arts experience). The fact that he has moved on to other things does not change anything. It has nothing to do with idolizing him it is called respect and acceptance.
@theawakener7 You miss the point. The idea of Kali is that you are mobile and dont stand where you can be hit. I'm sure you know better than to try to block a knife and I'm no big fan of gunting either with empty hands but if you have a simple object in your hand like a pen or even your cell phone(or as in the Phillipines a knife or even a river rock)it can be effective,but again you dont stand toe to toe like one does in the sporting ring. Thats just stupid.
@theawakener7 I just think a little humility would suit you better since you are the one going around criticizing peoples videos like some kind of JKD Jesus. I mean Guro Dan has spent his life promoting good martial arts and teaching JKD concepts and principles,So you have an opinion but show a little respect!
@theawakener7 I see you are still at it as far as telling the world what JKD is not. We get it that the Ted Wong/Jerry Poteet branch of people do not like Kali or the approach Inosanto takes. Some people really think that JKD stopped evolving on July 20 1973 but Inosanto is still whether you like it or not one of the worlds formost JKD practicioners. Kali is an Ancient battle proven art and it really is silly for you to continue to compare it to Boxing JKD style or not.
@theawakener7 Well it does say "Inosanto Filipino Martial Arts" so it would make sense that there is no JKD in this clip. It is sometimes it is good to train an art for more than simply being able to fight or defend one's self. Learning about a culture, becoming more spiritual, or simply enjoying practicing something beautiful is in many cases more useful than learning to take a man apart. I like Dan Inosanto because he shares his cultural heritage as well as decades of experience.
I've seen him & bruce in person (not together), Inosanto is twice the martial artist that bruce is or was. But, at this point he's been training a lot longer. But the one time I saw bruce I can say this he was a good looking charasmatic guy.
dan was the chosesn heir to jkd but wing chun and jkd are not taken from fma and fma is not taken from either, just as hand trapping evolves to a higher form, they start to grow to share the same fundamental rules which make them look alike.
They say Ken Shamrock is the most dangerous man in the world they said that at one time......i think Dan Inosanto is the most dangerous man in the world he's THE BEST
Dan Inosanto says you should always have more then one art. He compares having only one art to likeing only italian food. Dan Inosanto is a master of at least 8 arts that i know of
My former sifu mark davis.check out his academy in anerley in london,its called mark davis martial arts academy.he met dan and I personally believe mark hands are quicker.I never seen anyone move faster
I have the feeling you are a martial artist like myself? in a real fight if im faster and have solid technique then 9 out ten I will win.If someone is has amazing technique but slow as a old man with arthritus then they are looking at a serious beating. power is good but if im faster and finger jab to eyes groin combo set up the slower guy will be in for a long night at the hospital.I have took my fair share of beatings,but that was against sifu's and they just humilated me:)
everyone talks on a computer keyboard...theory this, theory that... blah, blah, blah. training in a school isn't a street fight and guarantees nothing of a certain outcome. but that's another story. as it pertains to this thread about your sifu and guro dan, i have no idea who he is. but speaking to james lew, a former staff member of inside of kung fu, who's seen innumerable martial artists of accomplished status, he said that guro dan, in his prime, was the fastest he has seen to this day!
I ask you to politely look into what you just sent me. James lew hasnt seen every martial artist fact, and fact 2 is mark davis was told by dan himself that mark was actually faster then bruce lee. And we have them together on our acemdemy wall the day paid him a visit. and where we are located in London a place called anerley near crystal palace.Type in sifu mark davis
To refute your claim of theory this and that. logic wins the day, what gets to the point quicker a jab or a hook? what closes the gap in a fight quicker a shuffle or a walking in?
@ryukenb2k in in a fight...logic doesn't win the day. it is too unpredictable what can happen moment to moment. what knocks a person out more often...a jab or a hook. closing the gap...depends on who's doing it. who are you fighting...the technique or the fighter?
@unclebraddah Simplifying some techniques is good combined with lots of practice. Don't just copy something, use your head to adapt it to the situation. Jabs & hooks are rigid but what you see here is quite fluid & natural. I'd probably just elbow the guy in the head if close enough in this situation if I wanted to do damage & or strike the throat or groin if reachable & needed to take the guy out.
@unclebraddah my point is understanding that learning logic first i.e a few practical techniques which you can adapt to the situation can help allot more than burying your head in the sand and refusing to learn anything or just criticizing something because you need to actually use your brain to adapt it to the situation.
@zzsharka logic and learning a few practical techniques is not a proper correlation. fighting is not logical either. And I disagree w/ your notion that jabs and hooks are rigid. Within the context of each individually, yes, but not in combination with other techniques, especially a hook!
additionally...i've met many old men w/ arthritis that are martial arts practitioners, that would dispel your assumption that they are slow. there are a ton of videos here on youtube to support my comment. just look up anything showing filipinos doing FMA.
@MystikBeast I train filipino martial arts my self in finland, while i dont know if theres a straight connection between the two martial arts, i know that successful tequnices are often adopted into the system
Shoex, I'm not sure if you are correct. The first M in MMA does stand for mixed, but I haven't seen too much TMA in MMA. What I have seen is TMA guys running to cover their behinds after MMA got off to a huge success. Seems like they are trying to convince me that they started MMA. I dont think so.
Don Inosanto is the real McCoy! He trained w/ the late Bruce Lee, so he's got the credibility. I went to his seminar in Chicago many years ago w/ members of the Chicago Police Dept., he's really good!
He is just a former student of Legendary Grand Master Angel L. Blancia. If not his Grand Master, he does know everything understand. He is great coz he was exposed in the media , movies and they dont give chance to tell the truth about his origin. If the Blancia System got chance to exposed im sure more than great to anyone. Im a Filipino and a former student of Blancia System.
@vfranad He is one of the only people to be picked by Bruce Lee to teach others in Jeet Kune Do. Lee told him that he should research as many arts as possible, thats what JKD is as a concept to find the best parts of an art and use them at the right time. There is no supirior art but there is a time and a place for each art. JKD is a concept of taking what is useless and leaving behind whats useless Bruce Lee said BE LIKE WATER
@Mider999 Dan Inosanto was actually the only student certified by bruce lee to teach jkd in the third level. I used to take jkd, silat, kali and various martial arts from one of his previous certified students and went to one of his seminars in princeton nj. Amazing intelligent humble interesting individual who really know how to teach and what hes talking about
Great vid-for those doubters out there, check out Paul Vunak's vids. Trained Seal team six many years ago with the same Kali/FMA principles. Trains FBI,CIA, LE groups around the states now.
I heard that Dan trained Paul Vunak and from what I know about Dan I was sure he did. I wasn't a hundred percent sure but I would get into arguments with friends of mine that he did train Paul. In the video I know thats a very young Jeff Imada, who has been fight coordinator for some movies but mainly know for doing the Bourne films. I just wanted to know if he really did train Paul? So I can feel better about defending Dan against some of my friends. Thanks
From what i know, Dan did train Paul. Although Dan did encourage Paul to explore and expand on his own curriculum and his own philosophy. Cant remember the source, but Paul talks about Dan in many of his vids, and Dan vice versa.
I tried to speak the truth. Seems like nobody wants to hear it. Good luck to you all with your TMA/FMA training. Be sure to check your local laws concerning concealed weapons.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This junk is so phony. Please dont ever believe that it works. These guys like Inosanto have been taking money for their services and turning out people that think they are ready for a real situation. It's a lie.
You fight Inosanto first, then come back here and tell us how it went. And while your at it go and fight some of his students as well, Mark Denny, Ron Balicki and some others. The rest of us will be waiting.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
OK i'll fight 100 year old Inosanto. Cant believe you said that. But I would be happy to fight Denny. He is just as deluded. He's not a fighter. He just trains weapons and some open hand. Put Denny in the ring and then you'll understand what's up. Not trying to hate, just stating what I believe to be facts.
cobrakeister, this art called kali/arnis/ekrima does work. it's been battle tested for centuries in the philippines. it's effective enough to be adopted by the u.s. marines and i think also the navy s.e.a.l.s. in their training program. and guro dan inosanto is 70 years old. try not to judge an art that you haven't tried yet. there are many martial arts out there that are more known than kali but that doesn't mean that kali isn't effective as well.
Just a heads up, to "put someone in the ring" isn´t like the ultimate test. Kali dosent function in a ring fight, you know why? Because it whas made for selfdefense. You cant kick someone in the balls in a ring fight or give them an eyejabb. But in kali you can and are encouraged to do so. There is nothing wrong with ringfighters but they are trained to fight one guy at a confined space with a ref. Kali was born on the streets of the philipines, and fighting there is a very differnet ballgame.
thing is, it can work in the ring if you know how.. lots of moves in kali can't be used in the ring but there are also a lot that are perfectly legal to use in the ring. it all boils down to the fighter and how he applies the skills he learned in a ring match. and yes kali was designed as a self-defense art but it can also be used offense-wise as well, as for the origins of kali it was born in the jungles of the philippines but it grew up in the streets.. by the way, do you happen to practice?
Do I prcatice? I guess you mean FMA. No I dont practice. I fight MMA. Would I be concerned if I was facing a guy with a stick? Yes I would. Do I think I could push through the stick and the guys technique? Yes I do. And when I made it through, with my bruises, the guy would be in big trouble.
no offense man but i wasn't talking to you. i was talking to veritasnicea. i don't doubt your ability to close in but that doesn't mean you need to brag about it. and that goes to show that you still don't understand fma. in fma we train w/ weapons first but the highest levels are empty hand, kicks and grappling. like i said, try not to judge an art that you're not familiar w/ yet. as for mma it was built for the ring but it can also work in the streets if you know how.
my response is this. You cant use weapons on the streets of America, and unless you strike or gouge eyes, open hand is a poor substitute for sport fighting.
Think about it, is Mark Denny going to carry a stick with him? NO. When somebody decides to make a run at him, he will most likely be at the bar, or grocery store. he carries a stick inside those places it's a FELONY. And I know for a fact that if he doesnt get into my eyes he is going to lose. Just food for thought.
man you still don't get it... empty hand, kicks and grappling are in the highest level of kali practice, i said that in my last post. he won't need a weapon to defend himself.
Seriously man, you cant hold on to the fact that kali is based on him hiting your eye, that was an exampel from me. Listen, Kali isnt build on fighting only with a weapon. The philipino idea is that you shuold be able to do the same attack and defense with stick/knife/empy hand. Its not like empy hand is some kind of second choice that only works of he hits you in the balls etc. the weapons are training tools for understanding all kinds of weapons and most of all, empty hand.
Yes... Weapons are outlawed in the US but that doesn't stop the cimminals, or me, from carrying them. Besides that fact, ANYTHING can be used as a weapon, especially in a bar. What are you going to do if someone throws a glass at you or uses a bottle, worse still, cracks the bottle so now you're faceed with jagged edges. I've witnessed these scenarios and it wasn't pretty. With our fundamentals in Kali, everything is a weapon. I can be deadly with a stalk of celery in the grocery store.
One more thing... In a street encounter, your eyes are the first thing I'm going for. If not in the 1st move then the 2nd or 3rd. How many people are trained to protect their eyes? How many people can recognize an eye attack? If it gets real bad for me, then I'm going to bite - that's the art of Kina Mutai - a martial arts based on biting. Look it up. I don't like to use the word "fighting" because it implies a competition - so, IN REAL COMBAT, THERE ARE NO RULES. I will not limit myself.
I think you're making sense. The eyes are our most vulnerable areas in an open hand situation. And NO I dont have a good answer for an eye attack. I dont think ANYBODY can claim great defense against an eye attack. A strong clinch is one way to try.
And weapons to me is WAR, and win or lose you're going to be arrested. If you really harm another person with a weapon you might be throwing your life down the drain.
I'm not going to jail for defending myself. In some states they have the, "Make my Day Law", which simply states, if I feel my life is in danger, I can use all measures to defend myself. Regardless of that law, Fuck getting a bloody nose, I'm not even trying to break a nail in confrontation. I'm going to leave you where you stand then go home to my loved ones. There's no second guessing in the street. I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by six.
@Mider999 Sorry, been away for a while. I think you're talking about the video, so yeah, an elbow to the arm will break it, especially if you know what you're doing. We call it limb destruction.
@Mider999 You wonder if he incorporates things from American Kenpo... hmmm... Guro Dan was one of Ed Parkers black belts before he met Sifu Bruce. Ed wanted Guro Dan to show Sifu Bruce around (basiclly look out for him) when he got to Oakland. The rest is, as you say, history.
Yes i know what you are talking about, i´ve seen the "kali Tudo" concept and so on and you are right. I was trying to make a point to Mr MMA here. My idea on all martial arts is that some of them were made for self defense and some for competition. But like you said you can still change that if you want to. There is no "ultimate" martial art I think it comes down what the practioner likes. If you trust your own martial art it will work for you. And yes, I train in Kali Sikaran:) you?
Wow! Sikaran, I'm impressed. Your kicks are nasty. I've seena demo of one of your "death" kicks. The one that deceivingly comes over an opponents head abd lands on the back of the neck. That's skill.
Ive been training for little more than a year with one of the founders of Kali Sikaran, and I have no idea what you are talking about mate, so im gonna asume you are being ironic.
No, true. Video was made in the Phiilipines. Saw it two years ago. If I remember, the opponent punches - the defender does a female V-step to the left while parrying the opponents punching arm. He grabs the opponents punching arm and pulls him forward - his right leg comes up and over the opponents head, like a hatchet or crescent kick, and lands precisely on the back of the opponents neck. The video referenced Grand Master Meliton Geronimo.
i train here in my native country, the philippines. the style of kali i train in under master ike villaflores doesn't actually have a name for itself. it's a combination of various styles of kali in the philippines. although it's an amalgamation of various styles it still keeps the traits that any form of kali must have, flowing, efficient, practical, aggressive and beautiful.
It wasn't untill about half way through that I realized this is Jeff Imada he's training with. For anybody that does not know, Imada choreographed all the fight scenes for the Bourne movies.
Is Master Dan's assistant here a young Jeff Imada? Looks like him, though the video is a bit blurry. Mabuhay ang FMA, bigay pugay kay Master Dan Inosanto!

I have the feeling you are a martial artist like myself? in a real fight if im faster and have solid technique then 9 out ten I will win.If someone is has amazing technique but slow as a old man with arthritus then they are looking at a serious beating. power is good but if im faster and finger jab to eyes groin combo set up the slower guy will be in for a long night at the hospital.I have took my fair share of beatings,but that was against sifu's and they just humilated me:)
ryukenb2k 2 years ago
everyone talks on a computer keyboard...theory this, theory that... blah, blah, blah. training in a school isn't a street fight and guarantees nothing of a certain outcome. but that's another story. as it pertains to this thread about your sifu and guro dan, i have no idea who he is. but speaking to james lew, a former staff member of inside of kung fu, who's seen innumerable martial artists of accomplished status, he said that guro dan, in his prime, was the fastest he has seen to this day!
unclebraddah 2 years ago
I ask you to politely look into what you just sent me. James lew hasnt seen every martial artist fact, and fact 2 is mark davis was told by dan himself that mark was actually faster then bruce lee. And we have them together on our acemdemy wall the day paid him a visit. and where we are located in London a place called anerley near crystal palace.Type in sifu mark davis

To refute your claim of theory this and that. logic wins the day, what gets to the point quicker a jab or a hook? what closes the gap in a fight quicker a shuffle or a walking in?
ryukenb2k 2 years ago
@ryukenb2k in in a fight...logic doesn't win the day. it is too unpredictable what can happen moment to moment. what knocks a person out more often...a jab or a hook. closing the gap...depends on who's doing it. who are you fighting...the technique or the fighter?
unclebraddah 1 year ago
@unclebraddah Simplifying some techniques is good combined with lots of practice. Don't just copy something, use your head to adapt it to the situation. Jabs & hooks are rigid but what you see here is quite fluid & natural. I'd probably just elbow the guy in the head if close enough in this situation if I wanted to do damage & or strike the throat or groin if reachable & needed to take the guy out.
zzsharka 1 year ago
@zzsharka what's your point?
unclebraddah 1 year ago
@unclebraddah my point is understanding that learning logic first i.e a few practical techniques which you can adapt to the situation can help allot more than burying your head in the sand and refusing to learn anything or just criticizing something because you need to actually use your brain to adapt it to the situation.
zzsharka 1 year ago
@zzsharka logic and learning a few practical techniques is not a proper correlation. fighting is not logical either. And I disagree w/ your notion that jabs and hooks are rigid. Within the context of each individually, yes, but not in combination with other techniques, especially a hook!
unclebraddah 1 year ago
additionally...i've met many old men w/ arthritis that are martial arts practitioners, that would dispel your assumption that they are slow. there are a ton of videos here on youtube to support my comment. just look up anything showing filipinos doing FMA.

Shoex, I'm not sure if you are correct. The first M in MMA does stand for mixed, but I haven't seen too much TMA in MMA. What I have seen is TMA guys running to cover their behinds after MMA got off to a huge success. Seems like they are trying to convince me that they started MMA. I dont think so.

He is just a former student of Legendary Grand Master Angel L. Blancia. If not his Grand Master, he does know everything understand. He is great coz he was exposed in the media , movies and they dont give chance to tell the truth about his origin. If the Blancia System got chance to exposed im sure more than great to anyone. Im a Filipino and a former student of Blancia System.

@vfranad He is one of the only people to be picked by Bruce Lee to teach others in Jeet Kune Do. Lee told him that he should research as many arts as possible, thats what JKD is as a concept to find the best parts of an art and use them at the right time. There is no supirior art but there is a time and a place for each art. JKD is a concept of taking what is useless and leaving behind whats useless Bruce Lee said BE LIKE WATER

@Mider999 Dan Inosanto was actually the only student certified by bruce lee to teach jkd in the third level. I used to take jkd, silat, kali and various martial arts from one of his previous certified students and went to one of his seminars in princeton nj.

Great vid-for those doubters out there, check out Paul Vunak's vids. Trained Seal team six many years ago with the same Kali/FMA principles. Trains FBI,CIA, LE groups around the states now.

I heard that Dan trained Paul Vunak and from what I know about Dan I was sure he did. I wasn't a hundred percent sure but I would get into arguments with friends of mine that he did train Paul. In the video I know thats a very young Jeff Imada, who has been fight coordinator for some movies but mainly know for doing the Bourne films. I just wanted to know if he really did train Paul? So I can feel better about defending Dan against some of my friends. Thanks

From what i know, Dan did train Paul. Although Dan did encourage Paul to explore and expand on his own curriculum and his own philosophy. Cant remember the source, but Paul talks about Dan in many of his vids, and Dan vice versa.

Paul trained with Dan for a long time. Most all top level JKD instructors go through Dan for certification, Dan is THE head of JKD as of today.

OK i'll fight 100 year old Inosanto. Cant believe you said that. But I would be happy to fight Denny. He is just as deluded. He's not a fighter. He just trains weapons and some open hand. Put Denny in the ring and then you'll understand what's up. Not trying to hate, just stating what I believe to be facts.

cobrakeister, this art called kali/arnis/ekrima does work. it's been battle tested for centuries in the philippines. it's effective enough to be adopted by the u.s. marines and i think also the navy s.e.a.l.s. in their training program. and guro dan inosanto is 70 years old. try not to judge an art that you haven't tried yet. there are many martial arts out there that are more known than kali but that doesn't mean that kali isn't effective as well.
lavatun 3 years ago 4
I agree with you mate!
VeritasNicea 3 years ago
Just a heads up, to "put someone in the ring" isn´t like the ultimate test. Kali dosent function in a ring fight, you know why? Because it whas made for selfdefense. You cant kick someone in the balls in a ring fight or give them an eyejabb. But in kali you can and are encouraged to do so. There is nothing wrong with ringfighters but they are trained to fight one guy at a confined space with a ref. Kali was born on the streets of the philipines, and fighting there is a very differnet ballgame.
VeritasNicea 3 years ago 3
thing is, it can work in the ring if you know how.. lots of moves in kali can't be used in the ring but there are also a lot that are perfectly legal to use in the ring. it all boils down to the fighter and how he applies the skills he learned in a ring match. and yes kali was designed as a self-defense art but it can also be used offense-wise as well, as for the origins of kali it was born in the jungles of the philippines but it grew up in the streets.. by the way, do you happen to practice?
lavatun 3 years ago
Do I prcatice? I guess you mean FMA. No I dont practice. I fight MMA. Would I be concerned if I was facing a guy with a stick? Yes I would. Do I think I could push through the stick and the guys technique? Yes I do. And when I made it through, with my bruises, the guy would be in big trouble.
cobrakeister 3 years ago
no offense man but i wasn't talking to you. i was talking to veritasnicea. i don't doubt your ability to close in but that doesn't mean you need to brag about it. and that goes to show that you still don't understand fma. in fma we train w/ weapons first but the highest levels are empty hand, kicks and grappling. like i said, try not to judge an art that you're not familiar w/ yet. as for mma it was built for the ring but it can also work in the streets if you know how.
lavatun 3 years ago
my response is this. You cant use weapons on the streets of America, and unless you strike or gouge eyes, open hand is a poor substitute for sport fighting.
Think about it, is Mark Denny going to carry a stick with him? NO. When somebody decides to make a run at him, he will most likely be at the bar, or grocery store. he carries a stick inside those places it's a FELONY. And I know for a fact that if he doesnt get into my eyes he is going to lose. Just food for thought.
cobrakeister 3 years ago
man you still don't get it... empty hand, kicks and grappling are in the highest level of kali practice, i said that in my last post. he won't need a weapon to defend himself.
lavatun 3 years ago
Seriously man, you cant hold on to the fact that kali is based on him hiting your eye, that was an exampel from me. Listen, Kali isnt build on fighting only with a weapon. The philipino idea is that you shuold be able to do the same attack and defense with stick/knife/empy hand. Its not like empy hand is some kind of second choice that only works of he hits you in the balls etc. the weapons are training tools for understanding all kinds of weapons and most of all, empty hand.
VeritasNicea 3 years ago
Yes... Weapons are outlawed in the US but that doesn't stop the cimminals, or me, from carrying them. Besides that fact, ANYTHING can be used as a weapon, especially in a bar. What are you going to do if someone throws a glass at you or uses a bottle, worse still, cracks the bottle so now you're faceed with jagged edges. I've witnessed these scenarios and it wasn't pretty. With our fundamentals in Kali, everything is a weapon. I can be deadly with a stalk of celery in the grocery store.

One more thing... In a street encounter, your eyes are the first thing I'm going for. If not in the 1st move then the 2nd or 3rd. How many people are trained to protect their eyes? How many people can recognize an eye attack? If it gets real bad for me, then I'm going to bite - that's the art of Kina Mutai - a martial arts based on biting. Look it up. I don't like to use the word "fighting" because it implies a competition - so, IN REAL COMBAT, THERE ARE NO RULES. I will not limit myself.
magussupreme 3 years ago 2
I think you're making sense. The eyes are our most vulnerable areas in an open hand situation. And NO I dont have a good answer for an eye attack. I dont think ANYBODY can claim great defense against an eye attack. A strong clinch is one way to try.
And weapons to me is WAR, and win or lose you're going to be arrested. If you really harm another person with a weapon you might be throwing your life down the drain.
cobrakeister 3 years ago
I think most TMA guys would concede, that they had rather have a busted nose, than spend years in prison from beating a guy with a weapon.
In lieu of weapons, I believe that MMA is far superior to TMA/FMA in a " street " situation.
cobrakeister 3 years ago
I'm not going to jail for defending myself. In some states they have the, "Make my Day Law", which simply states, if I feel my life is in danger, I can use all measures to defend myself. Regardless of that law, Fuck getting a bloody nose, I'm not even trying to break a nail in confrontation. I'm going to leave you where you stand then go home to my loved ones. There's no second guessing in the street. I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by six.

Yes i know what you are talking about, i´ve seen the "kali Tudo" concept and so on and you are right. I was trying to make a point to Mr MMA here. My idea on all martial arts is that some of them were made for self defense and some for competition. But like you said you can still change that if you want to. There is no "ultimate" martial art I think it comes down what the practioner likes. If you trust your own martial art it will work for you. And yes, I train in Kali Sikaran:) you?

No, true. Video was made in the Phiilipines. Saw it two years ago. If I remember, the opponent punches - the defender does a female V-step to the left while parrying the opponents punching arm. He grabs the opponents punching arm and pulls him forward - his right leg comes up and over the opponents head, like a hatchet or crescent kick, and lands precisely on the back of the opponents neck. The video referenced Grand Master Meliton Geronimo.

i train here in my native country, the philippines. the style of kali i train in under master ike villaflores doesn't actually have a name for itself. it's a combination of various styles of kali in the philippines. although it's an amalgamation of various styles it still keeps the traits that any form of kali must have, flowing, efficient, practical, aggressive and beautiful.
