Abaniko is the Fan Hit of the Filipino Stickfighting Arts. This tutorial will explain a number of drills to help you develop the Abaniko technique and add it to your skill set.
I trained NSI for years, as well as Pekiti Tirsia Kali, and Kali Illustrisimo. You can see Datu Kelly Worden demonstrating Chi Sao with me in one of my old videos!
Great demonstration ,years back when I had shoulder surgeries I used and still use these techniques to train and redevelop my shoulder and hands. Thank you for keeping this very fun and useful techniques going
Just subscribed! Awesome work. I've been a Kali/escrima student for some years now, and I say, there are learning applications I hadn't noticed in your technique, that I'll be conveying to my students. Thank you
Pitboss, maybe for our doubtful eskrima enthusiasts out there, if you could show or perform a complete abanico offensive strikes using a blade of your choice on a target, like a watermelon or coconut. Abanico strikes is not only using a stick but a bladed weapon as well, I hope you know how.
Whip it, whip it good! Btw, this is a great technique to exercise your forearms, & strong forearms are a must for stick, or sword fighting. Anyhow, I'll happily add it to my practice routine.
Hey pitboss i was struggling to get the whip motion on my abaniko you were talking about until i watched this thank you for the insight. I was also wondering if you can do a video on the abaniko feighnts you were talking about, also empty hand vs knife also how did you set those tires up? Sorry to be a bother with all the requests
Nice. My question is, isn't practicing kali a huge burden on the wrist and on the arm in general. Is there any connection to joint deterioration, arthritis etc. Please let me know if you have an article on the topic. Thanks.
Personally not a big fan of this strike (get it?), but that's just my preference and my Masters. Though l like your video, good clear instruction and you have a cool tire set up. nice work!
hope to see some FMA practitioner actually used a Bolo or other standard kali long bladed weapons so non kali fan can see what really a rattan(stick) stands for..in actual fight.
BZ U.S.A., Maybe you need to ask Maestro Yulii Romo about Abanico, he will tell you that there are Abanico masters out there that actually knows how to use it. And yes, he knows me.
abanikos lack man stopping power. i am always amused to see how the original movement has been taken out of context. the way you perform it is solely an exercise to strengthen your wrist. the true application is yours to find out. master secret 101.
I can assure you that if you take one of my abaniko to any part of your body I'm going to shatter whatever I hit... You've never actually fought somebody who knows what they're doing in escrima have you
why do foreigners want that kind of marshal arts? it should be in military school not for public because it is not for sports but a bloody fighting skill
BZ U.S.A., I respect your personal preference but you and whoever your Master is probably haven't come across a high level abanico eskrimador yet. Do not conclude that Eskrimadors who are effective in Abanico do not have your common slashing strikes or whatever strikes you reckon is far more better. If abanico users perform it with power and speed similar to your slashing or other strikes you've got, think of how might be our slashing strikes and others. The guy above is simply showing basic training of abanico striking and how to develop it. Maybe visit a Master of Abanico and we are willing to show you and prove your wrong. Forget about pillow fighting in tourneys and padded sticks, and crook referees and judges, and come experience how Eskrima is done in real combat. written by: Maestro Kyle Abella
Sorry but i discarded the abaniko a long time ago since it got no manstopping power. And in all fairness, it takes more than abaniko strikes to take me out.
Excellent! Beginner to advanced abaniko progession, integration of feints, grabs, total combos. Thank you for this video!
Very informative. I'm a Modern Arnis practitioner and this video has really helped with my solo drills.
the explanation was very clear and the movements easy to follow...
Awesome... ! This is a true, humble, martial arts instructor. He cares as much about his students as he does the arts.
The fact that you mentioned the NSI system tells me you're very versed in the various forms of FMA
I trained NSI for years, as well as Pekiti Tirsia Kali, and Kali Illustrisimo. You can see Datu Kelly Worden demonstrating Chi Sao with me in one of my old videos!
So great I'm proud to be a filipino and part of FMA keep it up
Excellent tutorial well instructed please share more videos like this as im just getting into Eskrima sticks
Best explanation of the abaniko I´ve seen. And great videos overall. Most helpful for us guys with no regular expert instructor. Thanks a lot.
Great demonstration ,years back when I had shoulder surgeries I used and still use these techniques to train and redevelop my shoulder and hands. Thank you for keeping this very fun and useful techniques going
You've inspired me to buy a couple of sticks and start training in the park again out of nostalgia.
Just subscribed! Awesome work. I've been a Kali/escrima student for some years now, and I say, there are learning applications I hadn't noticed in your technique, that I'll be conveying to my students. Thank you
I appreciate your teaching. You got rhythm and synchrony.
Best explanation of an undervalued technique
Really good material. Thanks!
Thank you! I am just starting Doce Pares and these videos have been great.
Pitboss, maybe for our doubtful eskrima enthusiasts out there, if you could show or perform a complete abanico offensive strikes using a blade of your choice on a target, like a watermelon or coconut. Abanico strikes is not only using a stick but a bladed weapon as well, I hope you know how.

Thanks, bro keep up the good work 👍
Good video! Good explanation of technique. Thanks for the video! I'm sure it will help me with Kali weapon development.
good job, keep it up
Your work is legit... I've become a new subscriber, thanks!
Watch the wrist. Abaniko's flow is using the hips and the elbow to generate torque with minimal wrist movement.
great follow on from your last vid, I've learned a lot thanks
Just subscribed, salamat for spreading the art.
Thanks for this video. i can share this to my friends.
nice :))
this will really help my Guba Doce Pares :)))))
Already subscribe , looking forward to more from the pit boss . Great tutorial !
thanks for sharing.good teacher.strong head too !!!
IMHO: I would consider switching hands very often, so that, THAT maneuver becomes second nature, in the event that it would ever be necessary.
These are great Pitboss! Can we see something on floretes too?
great video channel. A run through of how you made the tire stand would be excellent if your up for it?

thanx nice technics спосибо
I think that is wrong because there are possible that your risk is have an injury
abanikos lack man stopping power. i am always amused to see how the original movement has been taken out of context. the way you perform it is solely an exercise to strengthen your wrist. the true application is yours to find out. master secret 101.
You are funny casual.
I can assure you that if you take one of my abaniko to any part of your body I'm going to shatter whatever I hit...
You've never actually fought somebody who knows what they're doing in escrima have you
why do foreigners want that kind of marshal arts? it should be in military school not for public because it is not for sports but a bloody fighting skill
You should thanks to the founder which is tatang in philippines.
