Appreciate you!

Trying to learn some basics for... _weird_ reasons. For context, I have more of a HEMA background, and I also play a lot of TTRPGs, and like to actually understand how my characters fight moment to moment - so, playing a Star Wars game as a Mando, and finding they traditionally prefer beskad and kal, I realized very quickly that Filipino swordsmanship had more two-weapon fighting, as well as weapons that seem more in line with the beskad. Some of this reminds reminds me of saber, some dussack, so I'm probably gonna use those as a grounding points. Thanks for the quick primers, this is immensely useful. Aside from being a massive nerd who can't stop fleshing out characters, it's always fun and interesting to see how different cultures developed armed and unarmed combat - what's consistent, what isn't, how the environment and available resources impact it, how culture impacts it, et cetera. It'll be interesting to see how this pairs with a parrying dagger in the offhand!

Great video btw

Hi! On that high horizontal fan strike, if you miss the mark, it seems like the stick will rotate beyond the capacity of the wrist to rotate and continue to hold the stick. Is that fan strike intended more as a light strike and distraction, sort of a red herring? I'm new to this, so I know my wrist and/or elbow would be killing for a week it that stick rotated thru without an attackers head breaking the momentum for me.

Good stuff, thanks. You may have covered it somewhere, but have you given any thought to showing how to transition properly from one strike to another? Example, what your wrist does from the end of a #1 to prepare for a #2, what our body does, what your feet do? Newby stuff, sure, but the transition mechanics I find difficult.

you don't. That's not how it is done, you need to "Kata" which means Combo in English in different terms, I don't do much Kali but there is another Arnis technique called Eskrima- its a self defense and offense for real life scenario and not for sports. You should check out JDCIO in youtube if you want to learn real stuff and not fancy move that has a little meaning.

I know I'm a novice with Kali but I study other disciplines and it's just about the flow of it my man, each strike connects to the next, think like 1-2-3 1-2-3. You just have to drill them over and over, I can't help much with specifics but slow the video down or pause it and emulate what he does.

I m from Malaysia wish to learn from u in person how great will be.

Self arnis stick is use for immediate atack and the left disciplin right with gd reason not the use in bed way

Great lesson. Do you sell the sticks?

Isn’t that a Abonito?

“use thrusts ‘cuz people will get caught up in their own spinning” 😂💯 now I wanna see a spar where that happens

Lupit nito tol! Just wondering where are angles 11 and 12. does this vary per system? is angle 11 and 12 the abaniko strikes? (just got on with it when they taught this in P.E. i wish i listened more )

It varies per system. Some as low as 5, others as high as 64. We have 10 and we modify the angles from there.

If it's PE arnis, more often than not it's a module based off Presas' Modern Arnis which was designed for school and sport- easy enough to find reference for that, the Presas book is regularly in stock in National Bookstore, or just google Modern Arnis. But yeah, different systems might have different notations, I'm just hazarding a guess since you mentioned PE arnis.

so easy to get lost in the sauce hahaha

Bad way

Slash is better

Hellz yeah. Teaching! The funniest one liner I got "A black man is the only reason Im here" I sat next to an awesome self defense trainer on a plane back in 15 who got me into carrying a collapsible baton. But the one liner!

That’s not funny at all. You should be ashamed of yourself for even posting that

Would be a lot easier to understand if you just showed all 5 strikes together at some point so we can see how it all flows together. Lots of talking and adding a bunch of superfluous information between strikes with just a really quick loose demonstration on how the strikes are actually performed.
