Mix that with Capoeira and that will be just as badass.

here in dominican republic i pratice a similar art.

the machete was the best weapon for figth before the gun and pistol.

[oishiasan]

keeping the blade sticked with the opponent's one reminds me the "tui shou" from Tai ji quan

Lmao. This video bring memories especially when the instructor swipes the machete in the floor, people use to do that in D.R before fighting. Even though most haitians and dominicans don't get along. i like haitian people their very strong. THX FOR SHARING. THIS BRINGS MEMORY OF MY YOUTH.

very nice martial art !!!

[MrPotatoesLatkie]

This looks similar to the German Messer (big knife) fighting styles from the medieval era. Look up Langes Messer for an example. The big difference is that western martial arts people are trying to recreate an old system that died out, whereas the Haitians actually have a living system. The similarities are interesting.
