Great video as always, and yes it works in real combat because its a surprise attack to the enemy/attacker! Im ex military and have studied a lot of different arts and have taught them to students in Honolulu when i was an instructor, its as realistic as it gets 👍🤙

Great instruction Sensei. One thing I might add for skeptic naysayers (that are critical of primarly soft styles, and of all asian martial arts in general because they don't look like UFC) is that joint locking can allow you to subdue a person without seriously hurting them, but as in many Kali schools that consider locks to be breaks, you can seriously maime or cripple someone, if need be, with joint locks/breaks in a heartbeat - and they won't be fighting you anymore. In sport UFC style fighting you might have to whale on somebody a long time before they stop coming at you, especially if you don't strike points that are prohibited in MMA. Plus, of course, no one is going to hand you their hand or arm to be locked, but you keep an eye out for opportunites amid chaos, and/or set them up, especially through striking, body positioning and footwork

Beautiful silat

Много теории вначале. Вряд-ли её серьнзно восприняли.

It’s a tricky because you only have one shot to make it work

What is the source of that shoes with hidden blades story? If you want to add more power to your kicks, just use a working boot with steel toe and shanks

I'm assuming Sinawali is the key to learn advance FMA. Some I see working on angles 1- 12 angles but don't seem to do Sinawali drills.

Good video. I have trained and taught at a commercial school. There's good and bad but I really grew as an instructor and student when I went to teaching/training out of garage with a group of 2 to 6 students at one time. I also think there's a balance between hardcore/not hardcore training. One of example of this is the Hubud drill from FMA(Filipino Martial Arts). There are students/training partners you can go hard with and there are some that you have to go easy with. The FMA drills allow you work empty hand, or with a blade, or even create distance to draw and deploy a firearm. It does help if the instructor has real experience whether it's working as a bouncer, law enforcement officer, corrections officer, or as Mental Health Associate, etc, etc. Once you've dealt with the kinds of situations you can be a better instructor and student. Some students will thankfully never engage in a life/death situation but the instructor owes to them to prepare them mentally and physically as well as the aftermath (legal ramfications, medical issues). Keep up the great work. I just subscribed to your channel...:)

Sean you look great brother, it's Darryl from largo Florida, I'm swinging sticks with FCS Gulf Coast kali panatukan

Vent: Ignore if you’d like, I just wanted to share a current experience. :) I have nationals tomorrow. My coach told me it’s better if I stay home. I left practice today with a throbbing headache because she makes us sparr without head guards. If I lose, I disgrace my hall. I’m scared to leave, and I’m scared to participate. I get dizzy and faint in practice matches, what am I gonna do in the field?

You are missing 1/2 or more...I hate when silat is taught without foot movement, on a line

I like your channel, I like your approach and the way you explain the technics. Regards from London UK 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🤝🏻

So how is this a body guard technique?

Awesome

Great advice!!! Thank you!!!

I am learning kali from a friend who has 10 years experience and we finally finally got into some panantukan. I was excited to learn, but he taught me these kinds of 'simpler' movements but I was waiting for more flashy stuff. After I learned these and a few other things, we moved onto some dumog and the next thing. I was like damn, I wanted to know more! But now after seeing this, I'm like...hm yea... if I get in a fight or have to defend myself, these are the exact go to things I will be doing anyway.

2:12... He gets hit in the ribs just before they cut it out. Also the practice partner said" i haven't done this in a while" this is the problem with choreographed arts or training. Its not natural when it comes time for combat. It is drills drill drills. Drills will get you killed as they are repetitious dancing in a set pattern.Everyone on the internet sees what everyone else is doing and copies it. This drill seems to be a theme in the last year or two on the net...shows people just copy each other.

Awesome technique and demo with clear explanations 💯

Excellent demo 💯

I wish this was 2 hours or more and not rushed. Joel and Dan rock

Hi there, I’m currently in a predicament with whether or not to leave my local Iaido class because over the 2 years I have been taking part in it, I’ve had quite the love-hate friendship with the particular instructor of that class who is of the 7th Dan qualification because he would take almost every opportunity there is to find something wrong with me whether it be the even most slightest errors in my moves during the Katas we have to perform (don’t get me wrong, you HAVE to get feedback from others about improving your movements even in the footwork because you often fly blind when using the sword in front of you or behind you - or for those below the threshold for metal Iaido swords, we use wooden bokkens which is where I come in - otherwise you aren’t going to improve your prospects in eventually getting the aforementioned metal Iaido sword, which is dangerous if you don’t use it properly, and getting through to taking part in formal tradings at Seminars hosted by the British Kendo Association (BKA). My main gripe is specifically with the way my instructor would give that feedback to me. By that, I really mean he would accuse me of not learning from the last time, which he would use to test my loyalty to see whether I am loyal to the class or not, even though I have always taken the time, especially if the weather in Scotland is good, to learn from what has been taught to me including doing Kata training in my back garden since it has the most space available to practice my moves and reading the small book to gain knowledge & tips from it which includes knowing the grading points of each Kata & various slangs of the sport. However, the disadvantage here is that I don’t have anyone to give me accurate feedback over my moves so that puts me in quite a predicament but I try hard anyway. With that being done, he would always use those opportunities of telling me off to accuse me of not listening to him and if I were to ask him any questions on subjects or tips which I might perhaps have forgotten but need to remember just like with any subject to learn out there, he would turn it into a struggle session to accuse me of not listening to him.), knowing what was revealed about the grading points required in each Kata, knowing each part of not just the bokken & saya but also the metal Iaido swords and even when it comes to saying how my week went & any good stories I had along with polite contributions to topics being discussed outside of training. He would take his topical discussion opportunities to rant on certain views about politics as well as religion (he has made unkind & untrue comments about Christians & Christianity a few times in the past, at one point linking them all to the cult of Jehovah’s Witnesses) even though he lectures us not to say anything about those topics as students. I have noticed he tends to treat the other students, both beginners & qualified groups, as well as other members of the general public including some politicians who took their time to visit the class in a much more different manner to how he treats me. What made me want to write this comment to you today was when he out of the blue asked us if we wanted to continue training in Iaido or switch to learning Kenjutsu after the summer break for the class ends at the beginning of August. I dared not raise a full objection considering what I said earlier but I did politely say we should still stick to Iaido to which he then said I should improve in my bowing in & bowing out sessions which I already was working very hard to improve on including via training in my back garden. I find it more comfortable to get tips & feedback from other students including more qualified students than the instructor himself, it’s that bad. Now taking the opportunity over the summer to check out some other martial arts classes in town, I wonder what is your feedback on what I have written and can you give me some advice on this? It would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Exactly what I needed thank you very much

Western people makes this art become deadly art rather then perform art

❤❤❤

Not criticizing the demonstration of the movement. The movements look nice and I'm always happy to see Pencak Silat represented, just some remarks on the terminology because that seems to be a problem here in the west: 1. Jurus is not the plural of Juru. The word Juru doesn't exist. Jurus means movement and is both the singular and plural form. 2. Kuda means horse, and is not a word used for martial arts. It's "kuda kuda" and that means fighting stance in general and not a transitional stance as explained. That being said, enjoy your Pencak Silat training 🙏

Guro Sean I enjoy your videos a lot! This is an old video when you were still heavy. Now you're lean and mean. How did you get from this point to that point? Please advise. I'm trying to lose weight.

ahw man I have been looking for this. I saw the other functionalize panantukan video as well. I used to do FMA and I have been meaning to get back into it but there is no club near me. My old teacher is on yt as well but now that I know more about martial arts in general then back then, I'm less gullible I'd say and I see that the demonstration-friendly training style he employs is never gonna translate into practical self defense stuff. I love the panantukan and the silat movements, doing sneaky things based on biomechanics but if I'm gonna train it again, I need it to be practical as well. You are the first guy I see online that really emphasises that point. Thanks!

Silat are very famous in my home town West Sumatra there Silat Harimau, Kumango, sitaralak, tuo, sunua etc. I love it's

The right name is yawara

Muchas gracias, con una tercera parte seria genial.

Thanks so glad I found ure channel. Can I use the ASP batton as well?

Just a bit of constructive input: the techniques are fine but I’m not interested is using anything that looks like a knife, even if I’m just intending to just trying to stop aggression. If it looks to somebody, for instance, law enforcement, that I have a knife in hand, things could escalate quickly and maybe not in my favor. Still, it’s a legit tool to just blunt the offense without causing permanent harm.

Thank you Sean. A friend of mine, who earned a 2nd degree black belt in the 1980's kickboxed professionally. He always credited his boxing training as a teenager for his 27-2 record.

Great job on the video, Sean! I've met you at IIMAIA camp a few times. So happy you've gotten in fantastic shape. I enjoy your videos a lot. Peace!

Sean, are you OK? Yiu don't look so good these daya

Another great video- I'm hooked!Thank you.

This is the best close up demonstration of joint locks and flow that I've seen, Just subscribed- thank you. Great video.

Dude.... it's been a year or so since I have seen a video from you. What did you do to lose weight?? No offence or anything of course, I'm genuinely curious, because I have been struggling the last few years to get back into shape. The pandemic really ruined me

Thorfinn is greeting

Hi, I'm gonna have to argue some points here. I've had a fascination with cold weapons and in that context I have trained some kali, krav maga and hema, no expert but I have a broad experience of different styles i visited here and there over the years. I always had the mentality of taking what makes sense and leave the rest and reverse grip was always one of those things I couldn't find a good spot for in realistic scenarios outside of the clinch, it gives a stronger grip, but that's the only advantage. Now to me, a blade gives reach advantage, a speed advantage because you don't have to transfer anywhere as much force and can then retract a lot faster. When you hold them reverse grip your range is severly limited, your attack angles are severely limited and require open and exposed movements and without a karambit, maybe hawkbill design your cut is extremely weak in the reverse grip. The one and only thing I found that worked really well with 2 knives was to run a clean boxers upper body style as it always positioned the tip towards the enemies attack angle when holding guard which scares the f out of people in practice, your arms are in a position that actually allows good reaction time with some natural preloading and the angles are good for stabbing at incoming attacks. Beyond that, when focusing on throwing clean boxing punches while holding 2 knives, reverse grip, the knife ends in natural, mechanically strong cutting angles when you hook and uppercut as well as limit an opponents opportunity to dodge by head movement when throwing straight jabs, 9/10 cases people dodge backwards to not risk catching the blade if they missjudge. So yeah, I am curious if you ever tried this?

SHOW IT BEING PRESSURE TESTED!!

Reverse grip (ice pick grip) is good for concealing the knife.

great video Sean keep it up

This is really good stuff. In DC, if you strike someone in the Head, one may be charged with attempted murder. So, we have to adjust OUR techniques only using the arm, or hand, as a target. Excellent instruction Guro. Thanks much

Thanks you ❤❤❤

Very good

I can’t get enough of this. JKD, Silat, and Panantukan are the Holy Trinity. Watching Mr. Elder’s work is a joy. This man produces art. I will never be able to get enough of this.

Very nice! I once took a hard elbow to the inner bicep while sparring. It caused a vein to rupture, making my arm numb and basically useless. Also resulted in the biggest bruise I've ever had.

Lay off the roids my friend you don't need roids to do baton twirling it's unhealthy.

Would be interesting if we try hubud lubud vs chisao how would it work i mean in a fight😮 just wondering ???
