The trick is quiet simple. Hand moves FIRST, then the ARM, LAST is the body. If the body or shoulders move first, then you give your intention away. And no, you don't lose any power

​@@joco762That's how Hsing I hits too

I remember being at a Dan Inosanto seminar where Mr Ray Floro also attended.He helped out many people with the techniques and always with a smile on his face.He made learning fun.If you get a chance,train with him and to Mr Ray Floro,thank you and God bless.

It's a combination of the vocal misdirection and speed in this video however it's the hand/body movement and the footwork of fencing which makes his system so effective. Even without the vocal misdirection, Master Floro is FAST! I picked up his video set a while back, used the material with some knife sparring to test it out and it's top notch and highly recommended. DEFINATELY something to add to your blade work system.

I practice a non-telegraphic lead punch every day for at least an hour. The trick is to be totaly relaxed while focussing on the forward movement. The less muscles you need to relax before thrusting, the faster you are and the less time the opponent has to react. I test this with partners who have their defensive hand near their face. Still they are too late to block or evade. The littlest muscle tension can cause the strike to fail.

@RayFloro It seems like you've adapted fenching mechanics perfectly for the knife! Consider this another sale of your dvd set!

The secret is to relax your body and arms but keep them slightly weaving. Whip your hand out loosely so your shoulders don't become tense, and clench your hand an instant before contact. And keep a poker face. You don't want to telegraph your intentions.

An excellent example of true time striking.

I have done some sparring with Ray and he didn't really need to distract me by talking at all. He's REALLY fast and his timing is outstanding. Plus, he's an amazingly funny, friendly and open-minded person. If you're ever around Sydney, make sure to contact him!

Rear hands are always the harder to not telegraph. Because of the distance gap. The jab or lead hand normal hides the cross when contact is made.

He's hitting them because he's within their reactionary gap. He's so close that noone except a genetic freak is going to be able to block the attack unless it's telegraphed. That's the point he's trying to make. And that reactionary gap is also bigger than people think it is when combined with his footwork (which he doesn't use here). Turning that around, if someone is this close to you and you feel he is about to get violent, you want to get as FAR away from him as possible or DO something.

A true fighter does not rely on his eyes when fighting, but rather his intuition. If you can successfully predict your opponent's next maneuver, then you can easily counter. Much of this is accomplished in a prolonged encounter through "feeling out" your opponent. Sometimes, you are not afforded this luxury to "duke it out" with your foe, so you must hone your instincts. This is usually accomplished by engaging in many real life fights, or to a lesser effect, sparring. I have spoken.

I saw that video, it was very much informative. :D

Incredible speed! Like the 'Ali Shuffle' too!LOL

@RayFloro So it's the other way around? Hand-shoulder-hip-foot. and Not the boxings foot-hip-shoulder-hand.

Fantastic! How long is a knife fight gonna last with this guy?? About one second.

Been doing Kenpo and Kajukenbo since 1992 but I love the Kali/Escrima arts

yes yes telegraphed punching is the key now when you can throw a bunch of convos that way you can be a good fighter , i practice that everyday

It is the smoothness of motion and lack of cues that enable him to do this...however I would love to see it in actual action. This strike can be a knockout strike but more than likely it will be the one that shocks or interrupts the opponent as he moves in with more punishing blows.

damn you're fast... even as an observer I didn't even see tension in your body before your attack!

About four. I'd imagine he'd stab me more than once.

cripes, he's fast.

@RayFloro is it humanly possible to develop the reflexes to evade this strike?

That's for throwing a power punch. Jabs don't work the same way. Jabs lack power but are great for setting up, power punches have knockout power but are telegraphic. Did you ever see a boxer throwing a straight punch out of nowhere? They always set up with a jab.

I wouldn't call the vocal misdirection vocal misdirection since he does it ALL the time.

The only way to stop him from hitting him in the face...is keeping the hand straight in front of the face..because if he keeps it to the side, his reaction to block is to slow. I like this video though because it show's you how easy someone can be hit..even when they are expecting it and a waiting to block.

what. i saw a demonstration, I want a lecture on this! >=(

it's not so much that the strike is non -telegraphic, because he is doing a great job, but he's using quite a bit of misdirection with both intent and other subtle body movements. I'm sure he's not aware of this, but he's also timing in between breaths of the opponents, watch him carefully. Good stuff, that's what it takes to end the fight when the necessity of preemptive attacking arises

i still think some work blocks work but u have to be fast at countering after. but this guy is lightning quick so it wouldn't work on him or anyone else who works really well with a knife.

@RayFloro it's easier said then done. it takes a lot of practice to achieve this

@yurkler pfffbbbbttttt.... I fart in your general direction. Getting people worked up on the internet is so fun. I'll leave you alone now to contemplate how awesome your life is. Take it easy dude!

@enzo321 i think it's a plastic bottle :)

That guy is pretty fast...

what's he holding?

A little late, but - it's a 'boffer' - hydraulic tubing, pool noodles (with extruded hole) et voila florofightingsingapore.blogspot.com.au/2009/09/how-to-create-ffs-boffer.html

cause he's not fighting.

plus dude, he can also pull this off while the others are moving :)

it's good stuff, but to be hoenst, it'd be much harder for him the achieve that if the receiver has done some martial arts or boxing before, first, when u fight, u don't look into people's eyes, u don't have to, if u look at their chest, u see everything, u see their arms move, legs move, body movements before a strike etc, if u look into their eyes, it's way too late to react when u realise a strike a laid

its like Bruce Lee's straight Lead!

Filipino martial arts.Blade sparing

It is. I can. Most Kali practitioners I know can. I'm sure you can achieve it with lots of empty hand drilling. That's how I learned it.

read the top rated comment. And watch search for a video by michael j white explaining the same.

actually, it makes almost no difference who he does it too. i've watched him pull it on everything from third degree black belts, to boxing champions, to cops and soldiers. it's scientifically calculated to hit home.

@yurkler Always haters... Just trying to share some knowledge... If you'd ever like to spar and are in the Houston area, I'd love to test your skills...
