[billybee2911]

Always enjoy watching your videos. very informative, great instruction, and beautiful flow. Greatly appreciated you sharing your material with us, some of us live in areas where it is difficult to find Silat instruction.

[wwood14]

Do you know anyone who teaches this in the Portland Oregon area?

[PendekarBobbe]

@wwood14 - ummm...Not really. I don't know of anyone in Seattle that teaches it, to be honest.

[MrAllisters]

@PendekarBobbe

MKG Kali group, teaches this in seattle and a whole lot more of this stuff.

[SenseiStrange]

Could you please do this at 1/4 the speed, please. I enjoy this work and would love to incorporate it into my own.

[SenseiStrange]

I always enjoy your stuff

[PendekarBobbe]

@SenseiStrange

[ahmad434]

very sincere instructor

good work

[PunkRocKs182]

its like wing chun

[Megdidar]

I keep hearing about these being a sensitivity exercise, what exactly does that mean?

[unclebraddah]

@Megdidar Sensitivity in gauging the force of the attacker's strike and being able to absorb, deflect and/or redirect his energy for the receiver to execute his flow and follow up.

[nyairorokidul2000]

I remember learning something like this (the version my school uses) about 30 years ago. Its not that easy to get the flow and go full speed but after the first few bruises you'll get the hang of it :-)

[HYBRIDCOMBATIVES]

well done bob

[joey349harry]

very nice

[terrainaholic]

In wing chun would the 2nd one be considered a hun sou to a punch?

[jesuskopp]

What does Hubud mean?

[Jonobos]

@jesuskopp

Higot-Hubud-Lubud =

Tying-untying-blending

[unclebraddah]

@jesuskopp Hubud is a derivation of the Tagalog word "Hubad" which means..."to undress".

[lmission]

we're big fans of your work. thank you. this is excellent and clearly shows the versatility of empty hand close quarter drills. keep up the good work.

[autumnmountainkwoon]

Thank you, i love all your vids, i am a Wing Chun/Taiji guy and have a little training in the South-east asian arts, you know what you are talking about and shows! once again thanks for putting these up! Shaun

[QuackFu1234]

Thanks for showing this - some people don't have the money to go and find an instructor and your vids really bring insight to these spectacular arts.

[anthoney101]

Hubad is pretty sweet and fun I've made into more of a game tho

[stokapvo]

It's good for reflexes...very good.

[flooopy1]

I am new to Hubad at first I thought it was stupid.... but with time and some practice I found it to be effective at setting up joint locks and to develop sensitivity in the arms and hands. It also develpos quick reflexes. It is some what adictive to do as well.

[sakuraspirngsteve]

It comes from the stick folks!

[anvildevil]

do your feet ever move?

[PendekarBobbe]

Sure, but it's a difficult thing to teach in a three-minute video.

Use whatever footwork feels comfortable to YOU, this is just a sensitivity exercise.

[STUDENTOFARNIS]

great example once again!

[SifuLapham]

Hey... Are you sure that isn't Lop Sau??

[unclebraddah]

great flow and drills. my only criticism is that the feeder should be closer in striking range, especially on the #1 angle.

[PendekarBobbe]

Well, he's close enough to hit me with his fist, as I am also to him.

If we were any closer, it would be elbow range. These drills are indicative of the end-of-foot, end-of-fist distance that we're playing at the moment.

[unclebraddah]

I've watched the footage again closely. You are in his range to strike him with your fist but he is not in your's because you are intercepting him before he extends.

[PendekarBobbe]

I don't explain it on the clip, but you are correct: I am indeed intercepting his strike halfway. However, were I to miss the parry, he would easily be able to reach me. In my school, I teach from a standpoint of both practitioners aiming for each other, with intent. The attacker must feed an attack, and the defender must be in at least a medium amount of jeopardy. Anything less is dishonest to both players.

[PendekarBobbe]

Understand, this is not TECHNIQUE, its first and foremost a sensitivity exercise with an entry into trapping, and variations on switching from left to right side. Don't lose sight of the purpose of the drill, its only one ingredient in the whole cake mix.

[Rapist87]

Nice smooth flow.You should do a series of clips on the whole hubud structure.Lots of FMA students would find it helpful I'm sure

[unclebraddah]

@PendekarBobbe LOL...Thank you for explaining. And I'm in complete agreement with you about the purpose of the drill and not getting locked into it. MY purpose was to get you to explain for those that just see Hubud and are quick to criticize, especially when showing such things on Youtube.

[terrainaholic]

Do you guys work at elbow range hubud? I consider hubud to have 3 ranges. Punching- long range: chopping- medium range: elbow- short range. Are their other methods of hubud besides those 3? Your AWESOME Bob:)!!!

[SuntokaranMMA]

Good Instruction! It reminds me of my training as a beginner in FMA when me and my instructor do this drills a thousand times after training. My forearms got sore in the beginning because my instructor has a hard forearm.lol

[dragonfistsn]

nice flow do you have more switches? I would like to see more of you philipino stuff

[neomagnon]

smooth flowing switches! very informative.

[MoodyGroove]

Truly one of the coolest martial arts videos I've ever seen on YouTube! Awesome techniques, clear explanations, and no annoying music. Can't wait to try them out. Thank you so much!

[Barrywilliams66]

This drill is also in Modern Arnis, but I have never even heard of switches, or seen something like this. Where did you learn it from?

[JeetTek]

Wow... I am truly a fan... I've learned the Vunak and the Inosanto methods but man this is something that feels new but familiar... Keep it up because Wow... Skill.

peace and honor

[PendekarBobbe]

Thanks Jess, I'm glad you liked it.

Bobbe

[BillyPilgrims]

Good stuff, Bobbe.

[wworld00]

This movement is so beautiful.

[tulisanginto]

God I love this stuff

[MasterHawke]

Have you ever done these with foot traps?

You should do a DVD.

Keep up the awesome work.
