Amazing documentary. Very informative. As a martial artist who trained with several masters in Bacolod city. I was saddened by the infighting among several masters of Kali/Arnis. In early 2000s there were several successes in joining them together on one event and mutual respect was achieved. Many of these masters passed away. To my late main Master Maxwell Maun of aikido/judo and Herada Pigada arnis, i am forever thankful.
sayang nga eh dati inabutan ko pa yung arnis na integrate sa Highschool physical education, tpos biglang nawala.. pinalitan ng dance at ball sports. mas ok sana yun di lang pang sports, its also about culture, defense and discipline..
My late grandfather was Bastonero/Eskrimador on my mother side while my father and his brother are Doce Pares practioner from Mindanao... I learned from them just a bit.... And in my highschool Arnis is part of the curriculum.
Thanks for making this documentry, I must admit, with my experience and journey, I'm more focused on the moves rather than the culture and history - and I'm Filipino! Definately an eye opener... you've also touch on it as a spiritual journey... I have so much to learn...
10:45 I had the distinct privilege and pleasure to meet and train with Guro Dan Inosanto in the mid 1990s. The experience was memorable. The man himself was remarkably talented, knowledgeable and fun! He was gracious with his time, answered questions without reservation, signed autographs for everyone that asked, posed for photos with everyone that came to meet him and made sure everyone learned something and was glad they came. Which of course we all did and we all were. The man gave every impression of being a great master, a sincere and dedicated teacher, and a humble man. Which of course he is. :)
This is amazing. As someone who is also on the journey of trying to understand the vast and rich landscape of our Filipino Martial Arts, this documentary has been the most extensive source in putting everything into perspective. A quick side note as well regarding the movie portion of this documentary, Filipino Martial Arts was also used in the Dune movie franchise. It is instantly recognisable to those who practice. This is our culture, our martial art, it is time it gets the recognition it deserves. Thank you for this.
1:05:46 I mean that happend all the time to the FMA.. For example back then, hundreds of years ago, when okinawan sailors learned the FMA from Filipinos they brought it home, changed a bit, and then called it Okinawa Karate.
I think teaching FMA in schools as part of the Physical Education curriculum would do wonders for the art and promote discipline among the youth of the country. The Dept.of Education should highly encourage such arts in schools.
Do you have a video or documentary of the Filipino Empty Hand Combat? I want the World to see and know this unique art of filipino fighting styles . This is Pinoy culture and identify that is unfortunately hidden to the world! Pls make more videos about who are most of new generations don’t have a clue on how started and got the Pilipino identity
Thank you for revealing this to us. Most or common Filipinos praised and gave credits to the Chinese martial arts whenever they watch movies of Bruce lee how very good he was in the action because most of us do not know that it's a Filipino martial arts. What happen to Filipinos? Can you bring that arts back to Philippines?
Integrate this martial arts to all our military and uniformed personnel and in school/universities. Make it mandatory. It is our national treasure na kaylangan matutunan ng lahat ng pilipino na magagamit natin kung kinakailangan.
My late Grampa from Capiz and he knew how to do stick and knife fighting. Sadly, I didn't get the chance to learn from him. He died because of wrong medication. He was treated for Tuberculosis, when he just had pollen allergy. All those government sponsored meds, f*cked up his Liver and Kidneys.
Good thing now, an animé and manga series recognize the FMA. It's called "Kengan Ashura". And one of the best fighter there is a character named Rolon "Lolong" Donaire, who specializes in "Silat" style. Hollywood action films and manga (comics) could be helpful for the Filipino Martial Arts to get known internationally.
I have not met a Filipino from the Philippines that know what 'Kali' is. We are talking people from Luzon to the islands at the ends of Mindanao. In Tagalog Luzon (from where I am from), 'Arnis' or more properly 'Arnes de Mano' is the name of weapons system developed by natives. (The weapons are all manner of blades and sticks of different lengths and 'hidden' weapons). 'Escrima' for us (I only ever heard it used in these contexts), are 'fencing' in general and European swords in particular. 'Eskrimahan' is 'swordplay' so used to describe either the act of fencing or a particular system of fencing i.e. Eskrimahang Hapon/Bisaya (Japanese/Visayan). You can see the old man making fencing wrist movements when asked about 'eskrima' and the association to 'sticks' when asked about 'arnis'. An obscure term used by my grandpa's generation for swordplay was 'estocado'. This referred to 'parry and thrust' European épée fencing. 'Sibakan' is another word I heard used to describe a bolo/itak fight/duel. The word connotes chopping/slicing at each other... In the Visayas, they use 'escrima' to refer to their native arts in their language.
@@marlonchavez210 But Cebuano uses the term 'eskrima'. 'Arnis' is more a northern term, specifically in Luzon. 'Kali' seems to be a term that popularised in the US during the 70s and introduced to Philippines later. I got that impression because nobody I ever met in the Philippines ever heard or knew 'kali' as a term until about 20yrs ago. Even then, knowledge of the term seems to stem from clubs who's associations originated from the US. As in, there doesn't seem to be an independent Filipino style only found in Philippines that used the term 'kali' until fairly recently.
@@marlonchavez210 I've done my research for 30 yrs. But, prove me wrong, I 'have no horse in the race'. Send me a link to a 'kali' club or practitioner in Philippines that does not trace roots to styles or associations in the US. I'm not sure if you're from Philippines or could understand the differences in language terms there. If Kali is from the South, why is 'Arnis', which is a Northern term, tied to it in your description? 'Kali' by itself if the term is from Bangsa Moro or Kali Eskrima if it's a Visayan variant. In Luzon, I'm Tagalog, 'Kali' as a style or variant name did not exist. No one I have ever inquired about had even heard of it outside American MA Mags in the 90s. Not in Batangas, Bicol, Ilocos, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Metro Manila, Mindoro etc excluding the Cordillera region, I don't come across a lot of tribal people but their MA I saw in 1990 were sword, axe, shield and spear based. Nothing I saw was even reminiscent of 'Kali'. So I come to believe it's not from Luzon. Inquiring with Cebuanos, Leyteños, GenSans, Cotabato, Zamboanga folks etc. nowt. That pushes it to Bangsa Moro, which is out of reach for me to make inquiries. Prove me otherwise because it has been a point of interest for me for years. One Cebuano opinion was the 'kali' was a marketing term and is just 'eskrima'...
first time too see techniques of arnis, kali and escrima. i got learn techniques of double stick. if i have to machete knife or small knife it could be scary. thanks for info. for safety ways on street. i just too grab some small wood, my life will fine
One thing i regret to discontinue my learning when i was a kid. I promise to my self having a grand kids this Pilipino marshal arts they need to learn. Kudos to all Grand master! 🫡
We love watching RUclips videos from you, we are going to move there next year by the end of june from here in Toronto to UVA tru TN Visa, we hope to find a cheap and affordable housing near the hospital. I would like to request you to make videos of a Nurse life there, thank you so much ❤️🇵🇭🇨🇦
in the 70's as a kid, we understood eskrima as the tagalog word of fencing. When we play escrima or eskrimahan, we use long bamboo stick with the plastic cap of nescafe serving as the foil guard. When we play espadahan, we use wooden sword made from tabla. Mostly patterned after the western sword. We havnet heard of arnis back then until we saw roland dantes in TV :) . Not knowing Arnis as FMA it is not that popular to us kids back then compared to eskrima and espadahan. When we want to play knife fight we call it saksakan. The only martial arts we know back then is judo-karate and kung fu. The first filipino martial arts I was exposed to is TRACMA when they did a demonstration in our place in the early 80s, not knowing that arnis is also FMA.
Pleas do recognize also GM Master Renato Giatano A. Diomo Born in April 27, 1926 Grand Master of Manoso Todo a Secret Operatives of President Marcos Sr. And a Member of NISA today is NICA. He is The Man who trained The Jabida Fighters and capture Manero of the Ilaga Group who killed Fr. Tulio Favale an Italian Priest in his time.
Funny to hear that Filiponos call muslim Filipinos, moros. That's what we Spaniards called the invaders from what nowadays is Morocco. Un saludo a Filipinas!!
FMA is like to our dish ADOBO... Every household has it's own variant...every region distinct yet the same. Adobo probably isn't even ours but we have made it our own. 😊
As a Ilokanos or a descendants of head hunters im gladly even contradicts martial arts and luzones is out of pictures it's ok im proudly says modern arnis .....my elders taught me was a being hunters but never got learned more because of living in the city's but when i remembered a head hunters have 3 skills in front line combat long spear ( sibat) and swords of badang then there's smaller knifes combat called kur it which is either straight or curved then there's silat or in English touch in northern tribe's they practiced in the woods how an individual's weak points then made it a sarimanok dance which is like a fighting cock yet its more like bird called adarna if you seen the tribes throughout Philippines has that design the bird feather boat with bird heads the swords with bird head the tribes dance like a birds that's what trubador Ramos thought to Bruce lee a bird dancing techniques thats why bruce lee lost because of unpredictable movements this techinque in our oldest head hunters tradition is combined with a birds movements which consists of defense and offens at the same time if you see the yahfugao style dance with long hand and short hand this is to measures the distances and how to attacks always in their mind is one swipe and dont comeback or make sure that when you strikes mainly to crippled them i hope ypu learned it even a little time you see the swords or bandang or long swords the famously is the kris swords once the elders told me usually the datus have lakan or now called luzon how they described that swords is copy of bathala guardians or the bird people which they have fire sword the spear is a like live fire and the handle is a bird heads the sword guard is a shorter claw then the logn is the tail ....the curved knifes copy of a talons of birds sarimanok....
I think Kali is the oldest original Term for this "FMA". Esckrima evolves with the Visayans that incorporated Spanish. Visayans have been highly assimilated by the Spaniards as the first entry of the "colony" many of them meztizas. There should be a concessions among practitioners to use the term Kali as the original/oldest - a unique Tagalog ancient meaningful word to describe the FMA. Eskrima is stolen Spanish word. It is not native. Kali is Cultural native Tagalog word. Tagalog is Ancient and a native language. Kali represent culture, Peace, Freedom and Protection from our forefathers Filipinos. 😊
Nasa video naman po sinasabi nang, may grupo na "Doce Pares" kung pinanood po nila maigi. Nagkahati-hati lang at nagkaroon ng ibang tawag. Panoorin n'yo po ulit. Since 1952, Dose Pares, meron na
Srivajaya?!?!?! What Indian fighting art ever became world renowned as being the most, if not one of the most lethal fighting arts in the world?! Stop being a colonial geek. Kali is OURS, not escrima, not arnis, but KALI! KALI in itself is a conjuctive BISAYA word meaning KAmot (hand) and LIhok (movement). It even has a very strong argument for the mother of ALL fighting styles.
In most Visayas island stick fighting is common on Sundays where Challenges and fight are conducted. That's something missing in Luzon! The usual fight on Sundays as per my father are between suitors of ladies.
Natatawa ako pag sparring, hindi ginagamit yung tamang paghawak ng arnis at position na porma, kaya tinatawanan ng ibang Martial art na peke daw... Tignan nuo yung dalawa na naka suit sa sparring, nakahawak sa dulo ng arnis at hindi sa tamang porma na naka depensa ang ksmay sa arnis..
Taenan. Kakapanood ko lang ng mg fake martial arts vs mma fighter , na realize ko na mga gantong klaseng style ay walang silbe sa bahay sa totoong laban 😂
The whole thing is a historical distortion. The more evolved, complex and advanced techniques with the blades are Spanish. Not original Filipino. The spanish had developed the most advanced combat fencing school of Europe at the time of colonizing philippines. With Italian and German fencing schools behind and trying to learn from them. The historical accounts show that a few dozen Spanish decidedly beating hundreds of east Asian troops. Whether the encounter is in japan or the philippin islands. How else do you think they have colonized the whole country with just a few ships on the other side of the world. Guns of the time were quite basic still. Relatively slow to load, short range and inaccurate, and would not provide enough military superiority where such a huge difference in numbers existed. No, the Europeans had a huge advantage, in not only technology and craftsmanship of weapons, but in all areas that a more advanced civilization affords. Thought, tactics, a school of military skill and arms, creativity of solutions, knowledge and experience to solve problems and so on. Enough already with the politically-correct-unscientific-nonsense. If we don't value the benefits of civilization we are going to loose it.
I do like the system of redirecting the Motion for an Opening Strike. It is a System that can be adapted to a Powerful Striking Hit. You do have to Have reflexes and Good Wrist but, the Entire Arm can be used. Japanese system isn't for flash it was Quicker finishes a Death injury move. With this it looks like more Rhythm motion so I could learn quicker with Music and with Yoga flexes could make this a Great MMA style.
So why do most (if not all) EUROPEAN, American, canadian, australian, south african special force military units, Tactical police such as swatt, SOG, SRU and presidential body guards ALL train in the filipino combat system for their secondary weapons training and not a European system? I'm European blood myself but I can say from experience the filipino combat is the most practical system (depending on who's teaching it and for what purposes) has many dimensions, impact weapon (such as baton), sword, double stick, double sword, improvised weapons, knife, knife and sword plus hand to hand combat! If you do a bit research you'd probably find a new passion an addition to your European sword fighting skill set! 🙏
@@RacerX1971 Kali is great but historically Magellan got shot with a poison arrow in his leg, Magellan troops is literally outnumbered, and armors are more disadvantageous if your shins are soaking in water which they were fighting on shores, movements are heavier.
A MUST WATCH for every Filipino! A must watch for every martial art practitioner. ❤

The Arnis in DepEd are adapting the Philiippine Karate Association (PKA) rules..mean 1970s-1980s rule..

Do you have a link for them or videos?

I think teaching FMA in schools as part of the Physical Education curriculum would do wonders for the art and promote discipline among the youth of the country. The Dept.of Education should highly encourage such arts in schools.
In our school, arnis is being taught to learners who are interested. They are even sent to contests here around PH.
Sana ibalik uli iyan sa mga school kagaya noon naabutan kupa iyan sa mga kapated ko noon nag aaral sila
inabutan ko din yun 1st yr highschool ako pero nung nxt year mag 2nd yr na kami nawala na.. pinalitan na ng mga sayaw at ball games..

Balintawak barely got a mention. Should have interviewed GM Bobby Taboada. He currently teaches in North Carolina in the US.

You ask about Saaverdra Eskrima the father of Eskrima, which Ancion, Canete and other arts of Eskrima systems.
in the 70's as a kid, we understood eskrima as the tagalog word of fencing. When we play escrima or eskrimahan, we use long bamboo stick with the plastic cap of nescafe serving as the foil guard. When we play espadahan, we use wooden sword made from tabla. Mostly patterned after the western sword. We havnet heard of arnis back then until we saw roland dantes in TV :) . Not knowing Arnis as FMA it is not that popular to us kids back then compared to eskrima and espadahan. When we want to play knife fight we call it saksakan. The only martial arts we know back then is judo-karate and kung fu. The first filipino martial arts I was exposed to is TRACMA when they did a demonstration in our place in the early 80s, not knowing that arnis is also FMA.
FMA is the origin of mixed martial arts. From fist, sticks to blades as weapon for combat. Kaya pala hindi makapalag si triallanes kay zubiri..LOL
♥️mabuhay pilipinas
the Arnis was originally in CEBU BY CACOI CAÑETE
ARNIS is the more popular term not Eskrima.... it's just that you're calling it Eskrima which is unfamiliar to non practitioners

I do like the system of redirecting the Motion for an Opening Strike. It is a System that can be adapted to a Powerful Striking Hit. You do have to Have reflexes and Good Wrist but, the Entire Arm can be used. Japanese system isn't for flash it was Quicker finishes a Death injury move. With this it looks like more Rhythm motion so I could learn quicker with Music and with Yoga flexes could make this a Great MMA style.
European sword art is a thousand times better
So why do most (if not all) EUROPEAN, American, canadian, australian, south african special force military units, Tactical police such as swatt, SOG, SRU and presidential body guards ALL train in the filipino combat system for their secondary weapons training and not a European system?
I'm European blood myself but I can say from experience the filipino combat is the most practical system (depending on who's teaching it and for what purposes) has many dimensions, impact weapon (such as baton), sword, double stick, double sword, improvised weapons, knife, knife and sword plus hand to hand combat!
If you do a bit research you'd probably find a new passion an addition to your European sword fighting skill set! 🙏
Sure, that's why Magellan got killed? Verdad
Nah bruh
@@RacerX1971 Kali is great but historically Magellan got shot with a poison arrow in his leg, Magellan troops is literally outnumbered, and armors are more disadvantageous if your shins are soaking in water which they were fighting on shores, movements are heavier.
@vgb3693..too many excuses, then how did the conquistadors beat the Aztecas, they outnumbered them like 10 to 1..heller
Subiri is a senator and should propose a bill to preserve the art.
