Inayan Eskrima - KDM "Basics" (sample)

Very good demonstrations. But still, the very best thing to do when a guy with a knife corners you in a dark alley is to give him your wallet.

good movement n with a little comments as wildwhitedignity mention..but it just a demo...in real combat it depend on ``ones`` knowledge in self defence techniques...good work bro

I like it but it always looks like a lot of arm movement and not a lot of footwork, and like when he takes the knife to his arm pit it looks like the guys just letting him bend his arm i don't see it applied through any wrist/arm lock or footwork. any one with experience please tell me what i'm missing. I only have Aikido/Tai Chi experience.

no wonder footwork is so important to you. footwork in aikido is like a dog that can bark, those 2 always come with the other!)

@WildWhiteDignity

Well, there is footwork: triangle footwork. And for some moves, just a couple of movements of the feet can set you up for the whole technique. I know, I study Inayan Eskrima. But concerning that knife technique, he could use a lock, but he doesn't necessarily need to because he's using the foe's natural joint movement to his advantage. in addition, he doesn't have to use footwork because he already used it to set himself up for the whole technique.

Awesome man! I really want to learn this!

yeah...except for everybody does jiu jitsu.

like bruce lee said, "liberate yourself from classical karate". nowadays, people should liberate themselves from the worship of jiu jitsu (of any sort), muay thai, etc.

lol this school in in the US. I'm a student.
