Yeah we aren't a fan of point systems either. We don't keep count, we just reset if someone lands a killshot, disabling or disarming blow. We solely focus on Blades when practicing/studying Kalis Ilustrisimo. We do study and mix Arnis, Silat, Muay Thai and BJJ in our group "Weapons Class" though. Our experience is that you can land a well placed strike with a blunt weapon, which could finish it, but more likely a trained opponent will manage to cover the gap and tie you up. Realistic stick fighting for us looks more like a mix of Floro Fighting Systems (FFS) and something similiar to the Dog Brothers style; incorporating a LOT of Strikes, Clinch, Grappling, Ground + Pound and Submission work. Thanks for commenting, all the best with your training!

Thanks! We've been finding the smaller steps, more even weight distribution and constant shifting is really helping us change direction quickly (defensively or for offensive setups). Good luck with your training!

We're always happy for new students/sparring partners to join us!

We're based around Manly, on Sydney's Northern Beaches in Australia.

Mind you. Instructor Sparring Day is quite competitive.

Yeah unfortunately most of the lower rank students aren't too keen to have video footage of them losing to their instructors back-to-back. Also, some of the women and parent's of minors aged 13-17y.o feel unsafe putting their image online. I may organise a sparring day, informing everyone prior that the footage will be uploaded unedited. We will be visiting our Master Ray Floro again soon too, potentially with one or two of our recently promoted instructor rank students (HMA Black and Brown Belt's, Lange-Corral Arnis). Kalis Ilustrisimo and Floro Fighting Systems (FFS) is our post-Black Belt syllabus for students after covering Arnis, Harimau Silat and some basic MMA techniques, counters and positions.

Haha yeah, you can't get much more of an Aussie setting than that!

Thanks mate, I appreciate it. We're trying our utmost to honor our teachers, following their lead by executing and improving to the best our abilities will allow. Good luck with your own training legend!

Yeah that is our end goal. We've already drilled the Corto/battlefield range, left hand assisted definitive finishes. You have to make it through the sniper Largo range and bait/counter Media range to get to Corto though. When lower rank students charge in recklessly, we pull these Corto finishes off regularly. We want to get these down against fellow KI instructors but it's been a long road, as most KI instructor have very good timing, measurement and counters! We're still consistently improving so we'll get there soon, thanks for the comment and support ^_^

Thanks mate. If you're ever in Sydney feel free to hit us up!

Yeah thought the same, we just put bright white and yellow tape on most of the sparring weapons. The new batch of foam buffers I'm making will likely have reflective tape too.

Thanks legend. Too bad the rest of the footage was corrupted!

It has many names across many cultures. Unfortunately most viewers/students aren't aware of the various blade names and origins until deeper into their training. I personally refer to our black PP trainers as Bolo's and the yellow PP trainers as Barung/Barong's. In general, Sundang is the common term in Indonesia, Kalis/Espada in the Philippines and Sword/Machete in the West. A lot of my students are Westerners so the term sword makes sense here in Sydney, Australia. You do have a valid point though. Thanks for the comment legend!

@@humphreymartialarts No bro, sundang is a Cebuano term. We call that here sundang.

@@FirstLast-jf9on I've only heard Silat practitioners and a few Balinese martial artists I briefly trained with use sundang before. Although I didn't speak much Tagalog or Cebuano prior to my trip to Manila, so maybe I did whilst there and didn't register it. I'm always happy to learn more about Filipino culture though. Thank you for expanding my knowledge on the correct terms for blades and their cultural origins. Maraming salamat po!

Sundang is BISAYA language here in the Philippines southern part of the Philippines we called that sundang taller than that we called it lagalaw there is something like C form as well we called it Sanggot hope it helps

@@fulmarkmarco3849 Bisaya ko uiE, ang sundang mao na ang baga nga ginagamit pamutol ug kahoy. Ang sanggot aka garab, mao na ang ga'kurba/ga'curve nga ginagamit sa humay pang-ani. Ug naa pay espading nga ginagamit pan'tapas sa tubo. Lahi-lahi jhud gru ta haha

Thanks mate!

Yeah we aren't entering into the Corto (close) range on purpose as we've been primarily focusing on our Une Pulgada (One inch Rule) evasions/counters across multiple weapon groups for the last few months. In the longer ranges we avoid reaching for our opponent's blade, instead prioritising defence with our support arm in order to free our weapon arm for offense. Once we feel our Media (Halfway) and Largo (Long) range have been internalised, so our actions are sub-conscious, we will switch our focus to entering for definitive finishes which actively rely on the left hand offensively to check, parry, trap, bind, etc. Fair question and a good observation. I hope our sparring has helped you with your own game and this comment answers your question. Thanks for the support!

@@humphreymartialarts Hi mate, thanks for the answer and the details. It's always useful to contrast your own way with other methods but what with sparring being used to practice various things, you're not entirely sure if you're comparing apples with apples. Cheers and best of luck with the practice.

Yeah I mentioned that in the description. "Sections of this raw footage sparring session have been muted for privacy reasons." It's only about 30 seconds of this video. Part one had 90secs muted and part three approx. 20secs. None of the conversations muted had to do with technique or sparring application, so it won't affect the continuity of the video. Thanks for watching/commenting though!

Thanks legend, looking forward to our next sparring sesh!
