The first minute exemplifies what I love about bo fighting. The staff has the ability for rapid, powerful strikes with a lot of modularity in a way that’s more versatile than a sword, mace, or other weapons. And the skill set can be applied to household weapons fairly easily.
Yeah, that’s what happens when you hold the stick in the middle. In SSBD, among other styles, we don’t do that; we hold the stick at one end and use it as a long range weapon, like a spear or a long sword. None of these techniques work against somebody who wields the stick correctly. This, respectfully, is the problem with teaching “defense”. The styles of Kali in which I train are “feeder based”, not “receiver based”. I see too many martial arts teaching “defense” before (if ever) teaching “tool use”. Don’t get me wrong here, I respect your path and your dedication to it, and I have purchased some of your excellent content (“Angle 1” and “Illustrismo”). This material is not of the same caliber, which is not a reflection on you, or your work. Thanks for your many uploads. Cheers. 🙏
This is Day 2 Chapter 6 --- I appreciate the feedback, but there is much more to this. One of those things is Datu Kelly Worden's insistence that you do what works for you.
@@ApertureFightFocused yes this whole vid seems based on some core movements - I'm sure there's more to it - I would relate it to boxing's 1 2 3 - there's definitely more to boxing than the 1 2 3. There's boxing and then there's boxing, and, then again, there's also boxing.
@@strollbaby Greetings from Berlin, Germany. We fight everything full contact in our small open club. When fighting long stick with padded tips, helmets and hockey gloves it always boils down to the same basic movements regardless of the opponents style. Especially moving into close quarters often happens with the long stick because of the long weapons time needed in hitting, defending and the occasionally wrong footwork during heated combat leading into close distance without wanting it. When stepping in the smart fighter grips his stick in the middle of course because the shorter distance favors this method. Usually before stepping out the fighter with the wrong grip eats at least two shots to the head, body or hands while landing a hit with a straight right to the "smart grippers" head :) . What the gentlemen shows in the video is an explanation without sparring but everything works in full contact fighting.
So, you missed the entire concept of transferability of skills and concepts to other weapons and empty hand huh? Also, kind of interesting that you draw a conclusion that Datu, of all people, doesn’t know how to use and teach long range staff.
@@Orschwerbleeede yes I think close quarters ultimately happens with any combat style and medium as it's the nature of collision. This style does look very European. I also thought of some stuff similar to taiaha and a little to bo from ninjitsu. I appreciate everything I can learn from every system out there - empty and full.
I love it when the instructor leads you from assembly of disconnected techiques to general, easily applicable principles! thanks for sharing
Our pleasure!

Hm, this dudes are big - considering a bo staff being 6 feet. Wouldn't mess with any of them.
They're sweethearts.
They look like a 5 foot staff.
Filipino Martial Art?
