Visayan Style Corto-Kadena Eskrima:The Sikaran/Moro Footwork

The Moro footwork and the Sikaran- kicking/ trapping/ knee strikes within the Pendulum flow. Maestro Sonny Umpad's ~ Visayan Style Corto Kadena Eskrima is demonstrated by Jay Pugao, Ken Ingram, and Greg Manalo as they execute multiple possible techniques and applications within the 'flow / pendulum' utilizing the Moro and Sikaran footwork targeting the "folding hinges" (ankles, knees, and hips (groin area)) at a more practical level before going for the higher kicks (like the "Biakid" or "Panghilo" or "Pandamba" ) and higher targets (like the head and upper body).

the reason that Capoeira and Kali look similar is because they were both disguised as dance during Brazilian and Filipino colonial rule.

Beautiful poetry with the feet.

This is some cool stuff, question for people who know fma. What style of dance do you recommend to compliment Filipino martial arts?

Very nice jay. Jay and Maija is top best in movement.

Good stuff! I've seen other posts that have watered-down karate-like moves. Thanks for sharing.

@keith0227 tama ka. may martial arts tayo na maraming klase, arnis, eskrima, kali, sikaran, etc. sana ipalaganap ng gobyerno natin gaya ng ibang bansa tulda ng japan o korea na talagang itinatangkilik nila martial arts nila. maraming secret services o armed(military and police) forces sa mundo na ginagamit ang sistema natin kesa sa ibang fancy martial arts kasi mas epektibo at mas nakamamatay.

@truheart4lyfe original kuntao is no longer existing in the Philippines. It is a kung fu of taoist priest. when taosug came to learn this art they name it as kungfu ng taosug. then it was named again as "kunsagradong Hataw" (Kuntaw) If I am wrong well I accept and hear correction.

OK... how come majority of the posters here (or any other martial arts videos for that matter) always ask "I don't think this would work in a real street fight!!!" Do you all go out of your way looking for actual street fights? Don't even bother learning martial arts! Just go out there and find a bum and beat the crap out of him if that's what you want... sheesh!

Awesome video though! I hope I'm half as good as you guys! Pagpugay sa inyo!

@willw00ds I think you mean spanish/portuguese rule. The Portuguese ruled Brazil. The spanish conquered the Philipines

[yokogeri]

Look at the great footwork

[keith0227]

ang ganda tingnan.. sarap panoorin... sa totoo lang mas magaganda ang mga martial arts natin kesa sa ibang mga lahi eh... kulang lang tayo sa pagtangkilik..

I do see Silat influence. I guess there are several similarities in Indonesian and Filipino martial arts, it's just a matter of development and variations in technique.
