Kombatan Arnis - Master MacNeil

[kalifma]

are all of those spins with the sticks just abinikos? There's no way I could get my wrist to do that unless I ease up the grip on the stick.

[nazranaknapp]

Beautiful!!!

[SoundTripification]

nice form!

[MrMcordia]

@Glockshooter007 it is like useless in what you see but try to think if he is weilding a pair of kris /bolo or a samurai sword(wakizashi) instead of a pair of arnis stick? ..In my opinion i think twirling  is designed to be used with bladed weapons?. :#3

[KSJoshWhite]

11 people hit themsleves in the face trying to mimic him.

Arnis is the Philippines' national martial art and sport, after President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed the Republic Act. No. 9850 in 2009. The Act mandates the Department of Education to include the sport as a Physical Education course. Arnis will be included among the priority sports in Palarong Pambansa (National Games) beginning 2010.

[Glockshooter007]

Cool, but almost completely useless in a real fight.

[BatmanbinSuperman12]

@Glockshooter007 Don't be so sure. This is just a demo.

[nwotleets]

"Twirling" is mostly "flash," and the description here says "shows us some twirling."

Arnis is a devastating martial art, designed to counter other martial arts, as well as be incorporated with other arts you may know (hence, the acrobatic kicks).

[josefu0]

People who do fancy tricks are people who wants attention or to show or they want to express their art in their own personal style. People are different.

[kalipitbull01]

man you must be confused arnis ain't wushu!

[nomamao]

all flash, and very little substance. But, whatever. It's all good.

[baklauno1]

arnis doesnt feature acrobatic kicks just wants 2 enlargen interests really

[slapehdiebass]

@baklauno1 actually, sikaran which comes under the heading of kali/escrima/arnis is an art/game which focuses solely on kicks to the head

[dgstacker]

i want that uniform

[adys93]

unbelievable ;))

[WiiMan25]

Jin Kazama pants!

[dgstacker]

@WiiMan25 haha true

[MrMan254512]

very nice. is this part of senkotiros? i am a member from texas

[spildaleidodomo]

is this freestyle or any "form"? very nice,big respect!!!!!!!!

[Spiritboymark]

This reminds me of Filipino Jin Kazama training Arnis. :D

[LykAnAngeLXD]

NIce.. What more if he's already a Grandmaster?

[codlover713]

everything was perfect except for his bow when you bow your sticks are supposed to stay vertical and his pointed at an angle towards the horizon.

disappointed

[Richardtakemehome]

@codlover713 That's pathetic.

[Churchx77]

@codlover713 Do you even practice?

[dianaSD1]

@codlover713 it depends on what type of mma are they practicing. that way it depends on their bow as well....

[probableIMPOSSIBLITY]

I can see KICK-ASS doing this if they make a second movie. ^_^

[MarysvilleTKD]

Someone tell him his pants are on fire

[tuhokone1]

im pro in stick fighting but how in h*** is that possible =0

[zellymusic]

Nice Carensa

[AvatarOfDarkess]

wah so damn cool ah

[expressthedemon]

55 seconds of pure awesomeness! And being a master has nothing to do with age, but with your technique, and Master MacNeil's is very high off the charts!

[Aramis2000]

@expressthedemon I would disagree. Too many 30-year-old "masters" out there. What's the system for measuring mastery? How and by whom is it recognized?

[jhayzzzyy]

nice routine but not so realistic!! its good for an anyo competition!!

[wolvex123]

thats how you bow? cool!!

[Aramis2000]

He's very impressive, but isn't "master" a bit much for one so young?

[MrViceroyvan]

i saw lil bit of capoeira in his moves.

[AviPain]

Cool!!

he have pants like jin kazama in takken 3

D-:

[propoli23]

good job bravo!

[mawashigeri1293]

Guys whats the title of the music?

[mawashigeri1293]

More Power To all  Komabatan. ^_^

[1evanescence2]

well, this martial arts is pretty dealy specially w/ the right knowledge to use it... but it can also make quite a show when you form an ANYO

[Silverlake99]

It's almost hypnotizing to watch. The coordination, the speed, the flow... It's things like this that make me love martial arts.

[HonJao]

The martial arts are definitely one of the best ways people can push themselves to their limits.

[beefgator]

You Tube, Where the true martial arts masters leave commentaries.

[dirtyfighter34]

when you didthe hip hop move and the wushu you lost me ... stick to the combat effectiveness.

[pkabu09]

love ittttt

[steveo27545]

Bolo, very big knife, blade less than two feet curved and very deadly.

I am sure Arnis is the most deadly form of fighting there is.

I have seen old master in the Philippine , they wear plain cloths and if you were to mess with one, your death would be quick not painless but quick.

True Arnis is not about the show it's killing you the fastest and easiest way I can.

Great show, I have seen these old men, maybe 80 or 90 , I guess I will kill you is not really a threat from these men, it is a fact.

[felix7622]

very nice

[Readioheed]

A bolo is a live blade.

[ibangedbetty12]

the phil army use this technique but not sticks... they use bolo instead...

[Altonahk]

@ibangedbetty12 Usually in schools they start with rattan sticks, move to bolo, and possibly live blade after that.

[Readioheed]

@Altonahk I wonder what you think a bolo is.

[PinOYbOYtOY1]

@Altonahk lol

u should really learn what a bolo is before saying it's a stick or something

[Bladestar7]

Very cool Demo. So kombatan has kicks as well.

[kenshin9518]
