My late grandfather thought me how to use arnis and balisong ,,he also a Filipino soldier fought battle in ww2 !!🇵🇭🇵🇭💪🏼💪🏼
My grandpa was a soldier too surving the world war. He also practiced this art and had used to survive the war. But sadly no one in our family study the art cause they are busy farming the land after war.
My grandfather fought as a phillippino militia in ww2. I wish he taught me before he passed :-(
My grandfathers father is commoner and practice this art, lola said that lolos father fought gangs in San Pablo as I remember but unfortunately the art was not pass to us
So he just thought about it?
Sana all hahaha
Many who do FMA in the U.S.and Europe today would not know about or give a _damn_ about FMA were it not for *Dan Inosanto.* His name should be mentioned.
Saludo! Guro Dan Inosanto!
who?
I think it all started with Bruce Lee using the stick fighting in his movies besides being mr inosantos teacher as well as student.
@@revbobmartin Bruce Lee has a Filipino martial arts trainer.
Kali exists more than 500 yrs ago in the Philippines 🇵🇭
I learned some mixed martial arts with an emphasis on Phillipino knife fighting. I loved training in it and it gave me a confidence that helped me on the battlefield.
Sckarekrow Sorry about that. Thanks for helping me out.
The vast majority of Filipinos are culturally not rude or confrontational. I apologize for that person.
@@joelb7799 I love the Philippines for that. Usually very positive and friendly people.
Arnis is a PE subject in our state university in mindanao. Instructor is a practitioner and martial artist. But I never realized its relevance and significance until now.
Honor your teachers and instructors by naming them and their FMA Faction as a response to this comment.
Funker Tactical - Gun & Gear Videos Dan Inosanto, Edgar Sulite, Steve Grody, Patrick Finley, Jeff Jones, Rick Tucci. Their "faction" is obvious although I find the concept of "faction" to lack usefulness.

Like I always tell my friends, a Filipino with a knife or stick is a very lethal combination.
Filipino with an icepick, way more lethal combo
@@mickrory3979 or that butterfly knife/Balisong
Remember whatever they can do with the tools they can do just as much with their natural weapons besides kicking chocks and lookup ground and pound.
Not just filipinos everyone is
Yeahh the best friend of Filipino
My mother is Pilipina. I didn't get to know my apu & ingkung so I hope to connect with my heritage & family through FMA.
Kapampangan?
There is one style from Pampanga. Macabebe style. I think it was called Sinawali
This is very helpful! Im an architecture student here in the Philippines and currently making my thesis, and I'm proposing a Sports Complex specialized in Native sports and games particularly Arnis, kali, eskrima to promote filipino culture and tradition through Sports 😊
Pauline Joyce Samson Bajada that’s wonderful but the distinction between arts, sports and combatives is important. Arnis is literally a blood sport, the origin and end of the art. It can be pretty, but usually bloody when done properly.
wow i love that idea! where is this going to be located?
i also appreciate that alot of fillipino instuctors are christians too, when i went to bow to my Kali instructor, he stopped me and said, " there is only one person you bow to". and he pointed upwards. dont get me wrong, he does not preach or push christianity on anyone, or even talk about it. i just picked up on what he was saying. i was also stationed with alot of fillipino people in the Navy. the nicest, caring people you would ever meet. i just would'nt mess with them. lol
Bowing in martial art means respect,
respect to opponent as human being and nothing to do with religion,
if you can see how others bow like fist and open hand together, it means “NEVER STRIKE FIRST” or simply “DEFENSE”. Martial Arts learning is not about learning to hurt others or to defeat others but defeating oneself and life preservation by defending and not offensing,
Zeus should be praised.
Don't mix Catholicsm with Christianity btw
@@oncesavedalwayssaved240 What you know about Catholicism, that you think they are not christian?
Catholics are the first and true christian before martin luther came.
@@unknownshadow4450 Catholics are not born-again because they haven't trusted in Jesus for their Sins. Catholicsm goes against the Bible what the Bible says such as praying to Mary/Saints and dead people and many more
Filipino trainers choose who to teach specially kali for everyone's safety because it's too deadly
Mate, they will teach anyone of the pay is good. And as much as I love FMA, it is not some magic stuff. Please don’t exaggerate
@@cmsacademy1673 No, filipino martial arts is so deadly it can kill ten thousand magnafanta ninjas and forty thousand cannons under bong bong's house so yeah.
@@KingKhrist imao
A bit too glorifying and mystifying of the art there. It's a backyard martial art not because it's "too deadly" all legitimate combat arts are deadly, rather as a cultural influence from its history
I'm Filipino man it's not that magical but sure it's effective used by Moro people and even military
what a great video. I need to train in FMA for my day job and for my culture.
+mixflip what is your day job if you don't mind asking?
double win. pugay
mixflip filipino martial arts real / hard take a pain.... make a real especially in cebu phil.
NOT A FUN
@@amistadhsaligumba2780 mind telling me where can i train?

i love this, i have trained in "traditional" martial arts for years. i found an Kali instuctor, and i learned more in one month, than i did in traditional martial arts.
i like my Kali instructor from the moment i met him.
What love at first sight 😂
There are several Grandmasters still alive in central Philippines.
Can you get me contact info? Any trainers in Negros Oriental that's where I live email me Christ.remnant.church11@gmail.com
Great interview GN! Whatever collab they come up with will be EPIC!
I really respect admire all of these guys. I’ve been training in FMA since 1998. The title of this video was misleading though. Didn’t really tell us anything about why the special forces are training in FMA. Just mentioned that they are.
I had the honor to train in the Filipino Martial Arts from both Gurus Burton Richardson Oahu, HI and Daniel Sullivan, Orange County, CA. Both trained under Guro Daniel Inosanto out of Marina Del Rey, CA. The knowledge all 3 gentlemen posses is way beyond anyone can fathom. Indonesian, Pencak-silat, Muay-Thai Boxing, French Savate, and many of the Arnis, Escrima, Kali systems of the Philippines, I had studied under these 3 gentlemen. The FMA has a good backbone in propagating the knowledge from the past to many future generations. Guros, Richardson, Sullivan, and Inosanto, Mara ming Salamanca Po! Fight On!
dan inosanto has been teaching these arts since the 70's....he taught bruce lee...
KungFuTweety1 I understand it technically began after WWII with a few masters teaching american servicemen in the 1960's, but yeah Dan Inosanto is the biggest name.
KungFuTweety1 but it took a second seat to jeet kune do. Dan Inosanto became known as a JKD teacher. It wasn't in the spotlight
Jose Piscano and now it has flourished in other countries except for the philippines. karate, bjj, boxing, taekwondo, and even basketball have more athletes or practitioners in the philippines. am i right or am i right? maybe its for the best since those became more of tournament sports than combat. and yet why should this practical combat skill flourish more in other countries? could it be that "guros" make more money selling this to foreigners?
i cant stand how filipinos in the philippines are proud of something that in truth they really dont support. eskrima or kali or fma in general is almost unknown in the philippines apart from small groups and the military. its hipocrisy
Miko Sandejas I think it's quite pathetic to tear someone down for drawing some self confidence and or respect for their heritage. Pride is more common from the bottom looking up than the top looking down. You should probably find something in your life/culture to be proud of instead of devaluing others.
Moreover FMA is closely associated with resistance forces in the phillipines and the sheer fact that FMA exists despite it's suppression for hundreds of years is admirable. This also explains why it appears so 'secretive'.
I trained with Jared when he lived in Utah. He rented space from our dojo for his classes, he would teach me Kali and I would help him with Thai boxing. He's is legit the real deal I still practice the things he taught me.
Why I respect and dig everything these gentleman are doing, why is Guro Dan Inosanto not mentioned when it comes to opening up the FMA to the western world? Just my humble two cent question? My lineage is directly from Sifu Chris Kent in JKD & Kali who is directly under Guro Dan Inosanto. Two amazing master teachers that I am proud and humble to be a part of that legacy.
Yeah that makes very little sense, like they're forgetting an entire part of history
Kaliman99208 main stream
Kaliman99208 agreed, my lineage is from Guro inosanto directly. They don't really quite mention him too often.
I’ve been to two of his seminars, he deserves his name mentioned every time this stuff is talked about. His is the real deal!
Guro Dan had made the name known in the western world decades ago, but kali didn't pick up now because of him. kali is picking up on its own, because it's being used by philippine forces and it has been known to be used effectively then other international special forces picked up. the real legends are the special forces that are using it in actual situations to effectively KILL (not for show). i have heard of some local stories (officially reported also) but they are anonymized such as a certain officer in mindanao who used a single blade to kill 6 abu sayaff members. these are the kind of stories that have made kali shine and get picked up by international forces---real world situations. great respect for guro dan but i'm not sure why he should take the spotlightlight here
this is great! thanks for posting. On facebook i literally have tons of filipino friends from gaming and try to learn as much as i can about different things in their culture like food, history and now this! thanks.
Try arnis, arnis is like samurai in the Philippines, Japanese they used sword as a samurai warrior, and arnis warriors use two solid hard stick, made by nara tree, the oldest mother of all tress, their huge, the tree Branches are huge and very hard, even the sharpest axe struggled to cut the nara branches, the mean point is you have to learn arnis, you can hurt and punished a big guy using arnis, it is brutal 2 strike one on the head and neck means to paralyzed your opponent, it's sounds crazy, but it is true, you could also use arnis against burglar, if he or she carrying a gun, just incase not many of them, just one outsider got in trying to robbed you, hit him right on his rest and then kick the gun using your left foot or right then hit his head as hard as you can maybe 1 strike side of the and he'll be dead, arnis is not just a stick , a person who knows how to use it is more dangerous, arnis us weapon (: proud to be pilipino American
You want to see real Knife fight....haha...just go to Philippines provinces..like Guimaras Island for example....when they have fiesta going on and people drinks...I guarantee you...you'll see a knife fight...These people carry knife where ever they go...its their way of life....These people fight like two chicken with blades....saw it live man...luckily non of the three person died but all suffered multiple stab wounds....Ilonggo people are crazy...I will never forget that shit...
+Lapu Lapu Bloodline Illonggo people? the cebuano are way more crazy, and the illoccano tend to do it with machetes...
who said anything about Illocano? I said Ilonggo. Ilonggo are people from Iloilo & Guimaras Island in Visayas. They are the same Visayan as Cebuano. I tend to think Ilongo are more crazier, that's why they are the one who were sent to fought back against the Muslims in Mindanao during 1970s when the Military were lacking in manpower. Ilonggo created a group name "Ilaga" in Mindanao to fight Muslim MILF & MNLF...and was feared by the Muslims. Go look it up in CZcams "Ilaga" in Mindanao. Also, saw them fought in front of me during my vacation in Guimaras.
my grandmother taught me how to handle a balisong when I was a child. I'm proud of it!
guns are for americans.
Lapu Lapu Bloodline go to samar and see how "Warays" knife fight, there is always some1 dead.
Man, it's always so great to see the humility and geniality of true masters of their craft. On behalf of a the students of the world, we salute you.
Awesome video.
jared has always been a class act. glad to see him among these greats
Amazing =) I'm a Philippine Branding professor at the Asian Institute of Management in Manila. I must say this video is perfect in proving my point on what is Filipino Design. Kali is a fine display of grace under pressure. I love the movements and the history behind the art. Keep it up Funker Tactical!
This kind of martial arts is raw,deadly,brutal and so real.
Fantastic- I've shared this with our community here in NJ. Peace, be well.
Three Inspiring Ambassadors for FMA! I really enjoyed this video.
Thank You!
OJ from TNP!!! That guy is great!
I've trained with Tuhon Ray. Was in FCS for a couple years until work took me away from training. I loved it and learned a lot.
I trained with tuhon ray Norton FCS Gulf Coast npr fl.
Bro...don't ever apologize for the length of this or any video you post. I would watch HOURS of this kind of content! Thank you so much for sharing!!
This is amazing to see..can't wait to see the colab...
I trained in Kali FMA under s
Sifu Blaise Loong, more than 20 yrs ago. He's one of the foremost Kali, silat practioners. A former SF soldier and an SF combative instructor. He was also trained in the PI under Sifu Leo Girong, in Mindanao.
Sifu means Teacher in Chinese... Call your instructor PUNONGGURO instead
@@greyson042290 who you though to said that who are you?
Imagine if the Philippines starts implementing FMA as a major subject on their educational system. :/
Arnis?
@@edwardteach1992 not just arnis
Yes my uncle top Prado istablish Kali to Philippine marine corps kng gusto Malaman kng sino Ang totong master seacrh mo sa youtube master of Kali local legends
what i like between the 3 of them during the interview.. you could see the humility that was taught to them or theyve learned througout their practice..
it shows on how they describe and talk to each other, thats one thing i remember when i was watching several "backyard" sessions back home, it wasnt really supposed to be taught to outsiders and it was supposed to be kept unto one self.. they still have it with them, even though theyre starting to share it to the rest of the world..
kudos to this masters! saludo at respeto.. salamat!
I am fortunate to have recently i met a grandmaster in escrima and he has been gracious enough to share his knowledge with me. I am liking what i have been learning so far. It will add depth to my training practices.
Thanks for making me check my phone at 2:42.
+GuyIncognito Right? I checked mine too, thought my girlfriend messaged me.
I am a middle age from Mindanao, Philippines. Adapt to survive is one of the philosophy of my martial art as most FMA are, but I rather take my knowledge and skill to my grave if my Canadian children are going to teach it outside my family and share it to the world.
Doesn't that simply end the legacy your own ancestors created?
Why?
Thank you foe posting this kind of Vid! Hope to see more! Mabuhay ka. And also those teachers and masters!
God Bless!
Great interview GN!!! Mabuhay to these guys...young bloods in FMA! Hope I'll have the privilege to train with them...
My ole man passed on the Art of Drinking for 40 yrs then Stopping...=( over 18 yrs sober) and now I can FIGHT by respecting All Others before me =)
The movie that's shows Kali,Arns and Escrima is the movie title "Buy Bust"😊
Uhmmm Borne series....Matt Damon use this also.
More power sa inyo! Please more videos to come! Salamat! Mabuhay!
THANK YOU GN THIS WAS AWESOME
An art passed from father to son? how cool is that man?!
Those are the old times though which is probably even before the 1700s. Ever since Spaniards, Americans, and Japanese took hold of our country it has been scarce. But I am glad it is gaining popularity now after the 2000s.
The only art my father could pass down to me is drinking..
@@xyon9090 hey that's why the Spanish never let us use knives. Because we're freakin' good at it
My dad and stepdad was both good in Basketball AND gambling. But taught me none about both. 😂😂😂
Great introduction and update. I haven't been following FMA but question for you, in the 80's for me I would hear a lot about Dan Inosanto. Is he still around in FMA it is he retired now? Just curious. Thanks.
jstevens2010 Guro Dan is still alive and well and teaching, I know because I am teach his methods herein St. John's, NL. Canada. his website is www.inosanto.com and includes seminar listings, and an instructor listing page if you are looking for instruction for yourself or anyone else. Thank you for acknowledging his lifelong efforts to bring the art to others. Very kind of you. Salamat Po Sir!
I believe he's still around, but, his daughter knows everything he knows, and teaches too.
Thank you much respect to Sifu Marc MacYoung for teaching me FMA and Silat.
Woowww....Good future FMA...Salamat for all Kuya.
Blessings
eskrima, kali or fma should be incorporated heavily in our school curriculum because this is who we are and what really the pinoys are.
It's deadly
It's in school curriculum..
Kali term used in Mindanao
Eskrima used in Visayas (almost same in Spanish
And Arnis term used in Luzon...
Arnis teach ni school...
Yeah we enjoy killing each other that's why we should learn this at school also to help flatten the population because of teenage pregnancy
@@carlocereno7377 im from visayas and we call it arnis
im taking krav maga, its the only thing close to me, but im very interested in fma now
Teabaggin4Trump INC dude that sucks! I guess I'm lucky I have both just down the road.
EXTREME RESPECT for you doug doubt you would remember me from 1995 because we just passed a handshake and that eerie smile of yours has stuck in my mind since ..I knew there was more than met the eye . It was at a convention center in Tacoma while they were filming The Hunted .was so honored to meet So many masters in such a short time . A friend was studying under Kelly Warden and dragged me along .
Thank you for posting.
I believe its all about winning and survival so what ever works to keep you alive and from getting hurt or keeps you killing and hurting is the correct path and it may not be traditional or pretty but its not about being historic or good choreograph.. its about not ending up hurt or dead so I say learn all martial arts you can.. sword fighting and shooting guns.. learn medical, learn explosives learn primitive survival skills because you can never have too much knowledge and at the end of the day you don't know what might just save your ass. On that note psychology and people skills, how to win friends and influence people is just as valuable as any combat because it could keep the fight from ever starting, which again, at the end of the day what ever keeps you alive is worth learning. Being able to out think or talk your way out of combat could be just as valuable if not more valuable then combat skills at times.. don't limit your self, that knowledge you didn't think you needed or was bunk just might be the very thing that saves your life.
TL;DR Knowledge is power. no matter what that knowledge is.
+Kinjiro Tsuchiya true that
Correction: Knowledge PLUS Action, is power.
Coolnicknameguy Also knowledge seekers will be the ones advancing in life whether it's money or happiness. side effect of martial arts: I have something to look forward to at the end of each day.
Kali. That's the art that ended Magellan's journey 😂😂
Is it really though?
Lapu Lapu's men are practical. No running. Just hit that f revealing body of Spanish armies.
@@carcas3d Read up history
Actually, according to Pigafetta- it was the arrows
Very proud of you guys. Thanks. "Keep progressing" well put.
Thank you so much for showing me this video I’ll be subscribing definitely
Great conversation, but I'm disappointed on two counts: 1) I know, politics, but you talk about how FMA is becoming familiar in the West and opening up in the Philippines but no one mentions Guro Dan Inosanto. I'd like to hear the name of one person who did more in the 20th century to make that happen than he did. 2) The title of this post is BS. You don't really talk about SF at all other than to say that they've hired some of you to teach. They hire all sorts of people to teach. It's recreation. The rest of the time they practice how they actually fight which mostly involves shooting and blowing shit up.
Adam Sroka dan inosantao doesn't know fma like the people of the Philippines do. He only taught fma in the west, which has nothing to do with the Philippines
Outside of a few places like Stockton, CA and Hawaii very few people in the west would know about FMA if it weren't for him. It is difficult to overstate his influence so I'll just give one anecdote: every child in the world knows what "nun-chucks" are and associates them with Bruce Lee. Dan Inosanto taught them to Bruce Lee and they are not a Japanese weapon.
Adam Sroka They are a japanese weapon, they use them enough and also developed there own version. It may not have originated in japan but it is still considerably a japanese weapon
Theex pendable what I mean is that what Bruce Lee learned from Dan Inosanto and used in the movies was a Filipino weapon. It has shorter sticks and a longer chain, and the techniques taught in Okinawan karate are very different.
Adam Sroka yeah the tabka toyok.
why isn't Doug Marcaida allowed back to the Philippines?
Thom Chen google it
sorakismenos can't find an article in google why..
joks jokai you can ask Doug on facebook
Thom Chen It was a joke, he said he's just busy
Thom Chen He wouldn't help the government smuggle heroin.
I was searching for the perfect blade to put on my tac vest for months. Your design with Bastinelli Creations with the Picoeur Karambit is def it. Perfect slim design with one of my favorite steels. I decided to make my purchase after watching your videos. Great work!
This is a great video! It'd be great to see an updated video! 😊👍🏾🔥✊🏾❤️
The reason that FMA is gathering momentum is simple - Hollywood. It's the go to system for fight scenes just now. Every fighting system claims to train Special Forces. Great marketing and very hard to disprove. I train in Krav Maga, FMA, and Silat and I'm sure some unit or other uses each one of these somewhere. They all get the job done just in a different way.
Steve Martin Not completely as Keysi is being used a lot
Steve Martin Training some bs, Train BJJ instead. For real. Respect for Knife fight but kravmaga? what kind of bs that is?
tofiysld As if a single system is ever complete. Plus, there's no doubt that the best special operations forces would take a little from every system they see. And indeed, this may be the fastest way to a complete fighting system, rather than taking years to learn one system and then going to learn another only to find that there are many techniques that overlap.
tofiysld what's wrong with Krav Maga? give me at least a few reasons why it's no good. My background is boxing, wrestling, Tae Kwon Do, Kali, Fencing and Krav Maga (among some other MBCs like Emerson Boxing and Arwology), I'd like to know why Krav Maga is bullshit.
Joe Cannabyte Because one doesnt go to gym and practice eye gauging and nutshots. Neither streetfights happen like that.
if they know ur technique it won't be effective anymore.. old timers was right but there is a risk of it going extinct.. so FMA is where its at.. not too popular but not too rare.. perfect
Then it's a rubbish technique, if knowing them nullifies it's effectiveness.
Everyone knows boxing. You know what the jab, straight, hook and uppercut are. But even Holifield could catch you with any of those.
Filipe Amaral Good point
Filipe Amaral what d fook! its fuck#ng common sense. if an opponent knows ur technique then u still have strength and speed as a factor to win fights! but u lose ur element of surprise..
***** >"if an opponent knows ur technique then u still have strength and speed as a factor to win fights! but u lose ur element of surprise.."
And if you rely on surprise, then you've already lost because you can be surprised yourself.
FMA must have to work on someone who's trained in FMA and untrained people alike. That's why it's a system. If it's not a system, it's just a move set.
Filipe Amaral ull be surprised that fundamentally all ur training is merely to surprise ur opponent.. aint that a shocking revealation?
Great interview! Thanks for the video
Amazing video made me more pumped to go out and learn fma
why isn't he allowed back in the country? did he do something wrong?
Irish Pauline i guess he is involve in some crime.
Why is Doug Marcaida not allowed in the Philippines?
+BlankPicketSign maybe he is deadly and exposing FMA to the civilians..
kevin cabreros
That hardly sounds like a Legal problem...
Filipino Martial Arts comes FROM the Philippines, you can't make that illegal.. makes no sense
+BlankPicketSign I think it's maybe because of armies.. If abusayaf or Milf learn that he's training armies,Milf will immediately stop them.
Great video man!! Loved it!!!
Thank you for this brother. Good shit right here!
Show us, don't tell us.
The upper class there will fight against this art, while there are new schools being built there,when it comes to the bladed hand these upper class view it as savage.
Savage? What is a real fight if it's not savage. The skill is designed to kill, not your typical martial art exhibition. Having said that. It takes real responsibility to own such skill. Its not easy, specially if your under stress and and a lot of pressure. Combine that with adrenaline and rage and you have a beast in your hand. This is the reason why the real kali/Eskrima/Arnis is not widespread
Have you lived there or trained there i think not,i meet no masters that i would consider full of rage,most did think they where un beatable, to even get one of the old school masters to train me, i had to basically get a beating,once i got my beating,had to get a chicken sacrificed and my body was cover in it blood, while i stood in a circle naked all night,again the blade stuff is frowned upon by the upper class pinoy,The stick is gaining more popularity but the blade again is frowned on,Doug is on the black list this is why he can not go there, not sure why since he says he will one day be able to return ha maybe only get a year, i have many knives they question me on each knife use, may answer was it's a knife it is made to cut and kill things,i have train in this since i was a very small boy and only from very old men.
lol Where the hell did you get your training that you have to sacrificed a chicken. Its either you're handed a stick and thats basically it....your training start. No bullshit, no ceremony.
Whats the difference between the stick, the knife, the pen, the fork, the screwdriver, etc? Nothing....when it comes to Arnis.
It does shows your ignorance of arnis but im not about to start the history of arnis. The stick is for training (can be use as a weapon as well) and your training is for...to use any weapon (including bladed weapons), including any objects available in time of confrontation....and dont forget your hands.
Obviously, you havent been involved in a real fight either and not some bullshit tournament. A lot of arnis school ive seen are not even near practical in a real fight.....they might as well call it twirling sticks.
You watched those 2 guys try to hit each other with 2 sticks each and everybody goes ohh ahhh. Give me one stick and ill cut both of them at the same time. My training was handed down from a relative and we used to have a full on sparring with hard core guys (guys that are in prison)
Everytime, you face an opponent either for real or for sparring, you should have the mentality and the attitude of either you ready to get hurt or to hurt the other guy. If your just practicing the form without the spirit, i guarantee you, your training wont stand a chance against an unskilled opponent who is determined to hurt you.
Old masters always do it with controlled rage. So you either dodge their strike or get out of their way or learn to counter it
My point is...a training should be always a simulation of real life situation and its not for show, is not to be admired by the audience....its meant to make you survive a real fight.
Yes, during sparring, you are ready to kill the other guy and if so happened the other guy made a mistake and presented his head an inch too close to your distance....ohh well....shit happen....and it does happen a lot.......but thats how we learn by, the end of the day we shake hands....its part of the training.
A famous national arnis association have once visited us and was interested in sparring with us but before that happened they watched us spar. After that, they declined to spar with us, they called us barbarians
Lastly, there's a quiet a few so called upper class who knows the real old way....question is ..... who is gonna inherit it or are they gonna bring this skill to their grave.....after all .... killing by combat is not a way of life anymore.
I might bring mine to grave as well since i couldn't find anybody who has the right aptitude, not even my own son.
First training just a man who liked me i was 5 i called him Lolo which is Grand Father in Bisayan.
My other training was a old master in a small town in Cebu his name was Dudo, i liked the old Masters myself.The difference in a stick and a smaller object is simple distance,you would not survive the training with a old school master,you think you know to much,there are many school in Cebu only a few of the old masters remain,While Dudo was old, men came from many nations just to watch him,you could not train in his small school without passing the test which was a you are out number and you must face certain death or ass whipping and if you passed that you had to endure the ceremony, this is the way of the Escrinador, i do not question any master in any Martial Art,went to my class Monday was not allowed in the class the Sifu said i had to much anger for the class, i not feel anger but to argue with the master would not be wise so i just left,did leave the food i had brought
,I, had a good kick boxing class tonight.
Hagkilmong Lobot Babay is my name when i step up to fight,i like the name,yes arrogant is the name, but it fits my mentality. I move back to Cebu in November.will try to live in small island called Camotes,peaceful island,they are making a new school there,it has no ceremony you have money they will train you,i have talk with the master i not care for him,gets drink too much and is not a Filipino,maybe i will like him better in person.
Mabuhay pare.

i want to train with one of you guys. i live in Jamaica but i dont want to learn Karate or Taekwondo , i want to learn kali or Israeli style. i dont have any anger or evil intentions. Do you guys know of anyone in Jamaica teaching
Appreciate the work done for this outstanding feature. You should make another featuring other great ambassadors of our FMA like Guro Dan Inosanto who taught the legendary Bruce Lee Kali which he used heavily in his blockbuster movies or Guro Roger Agbulos of Lameco Astig based in California. He's been going around the US, Mexico, Canada and Europe (including Serbia!) conducting well-attended "Non-Telegraphic Blade and Stick seminars for the Police and Special Forces of even Serbia!
11 years ditto sa loob Pilipinas- GREAT VIDEO.
The reason why International Special Forces train in these Filipino Martial Art is because we used it effectivly against the US Army in the conflict known in history as the "Philippine Insurrection" that is the longest war that America ever fought and lost, from 1898 to 1947 when the US government decided to call it quits and just surrender back to us our freedom and independence
+EMMANUEL CRUZ so, you're going to shoot him just because he pissed you off? wow.
I wish they don’t invented guns because. Filipino. Is badAss in blade MaBUhay💪💪💪💪💪💪we are real waRrior
Did you know they made the 45 caliber bullet because they cudnt kill Filipino warriors with their old 38? Fun fact
Proud of you guys...all the best
Thank u guys I think FMA is awesome
Because Filipinos are the world's most powerful race. Few know this. Fewer still understand what this means.
How many of these guys have ever used a knife on a living, breathing person, do you figure?
As close to zero as you can GET.
I doubt that unless he's from the U.S. Claiming to be a street fighter, I wouldn't trust THAT.
Victor Hartmann I read somewhere that Doug had some expierence with random altercations in the Phillipines. There's also a interview on this channel how he talks about experiencing violence and how people cope with that and some related subjects.
Also, if Ray comes from the poorer districts near Manila then he might've pulled a knife on someone more than once (not necessarily doing harm, but pulling nonetheless). But that's just some assumptions only one can make from his background.

Oh right, the old "HE LEARNED FROM THE MYSTICAL MASTERS" kung fu story. How compelling. :^]
Victor Hartmann In the Philippines? Probably more times than they cared to.

Thanks for video, I don't train in FMA, but I enjoyed listening to these humble and dangerous men. As always Doug is always cool.
Very positive and refreshing!
Professor Danny Paulo , Professor Frank Edward's Cowboy , Guru Len .thank-you for opening your Doors and sharing your knowledge
Very nice. Grow even stronger. That's the way it is done.
Hi GN it a pleasure to see all the three legendary Masters thanks to you. it would have been an epic if Master Boby Tabowada was also here to share his ideas.
Salute, bring it back home!
FMA is amazing I have bin studying these kind of arts most of my life and my father was trained by a filipino man in Arnis stick fighting and I took that and applied those techniques in my art and I call it adaptable striking and grappling and these guys just said it adapt and overcome that’s my philosophy. FMA is not going anywhere!!
Longer videos are better! And thanks for your content!
Amazing video. A major evolutionary breakthrough in FMA thanks to great men such as these.. visionary masters and role models...Thank you.
Anyone aware if their systems are available in NYC?
Big fan for a long long time Doug.
@ Funker Tactical- Fight Training Video. This was the kind of video I was seeking. I don’t have popcorn.. I have a cup of coffee with me. :):)
Thank you for the information, very good information
Great video. Been training traditional martial arts for years japanese ju-jitsu, recently Chinese kickboxing and very interested in FMA. Unfortunately classes are very, very expensive in UK. Oss. Respect
Hey look! It's Officer Jared from TNP!
It's a small world indeed. It seems like nearly everyone in FMA, or at least Pekiti Tirsia, knows one-another.
Salamat po!
RESPECT !!! PROFESSIONALISM, AND DEDICATION
Great video it reminds me my grandfather always silent but when he teach me he said one swipe don't comeback he teach me bamboo stick first then bolo knife.....god bless...
