Abaniko strikes are great for breaking your opponent’s flow and setting up a monster strike to finish. Beautifully detailed explanation. Paul’s instructional skills are as impressive as his kali 👏
You seem to hold the stick very low near the end of it. I recommend holding it so the bottom of the stick goes to about halfway down the forearm for better stability & forearm defense as needed.
This is true. I found keeping my elbows bent helped. Downside to my strategy is when I spar, I am usually reaching more when I throw the strike and you know how that goes. So I use them sparingly.
poor technique and weak muscles will do that. Make sure when doing new movement that you allow your body to adapt to them. Better posture on the movement and such. Make sure you stretch and do a muscle floss (where you train your nerves to slither through your muscle fibers) and do fluid joint movements so you lubricate the joints and don't have them pinching and rubbing the soft tissues, nerves, and tendons.
There are specific exercises to strengthen the tendons and ligaments in the wrist and build their mobility. Proper training will greatly prevent injuries. I’ve been doing these in my Kali for 25 years and have not had any issue due to proper training progressions.
Great breakdown on the abanikos. Having an edge blade or trainer really shows its true purpose of the abaniko. If you use just the stick, people wont see the abanikos potential, which goes over a lot of FMA practitioner's heads! Awesome video
Absolutely fantastic!!! Thanks, Paul… Really appreciate your time and sharing your knowledge. training with your videos since 2019 in California. Have a great day.
Hello Paul thanks for the great video on breaking down the Abaniko will definitely add this to my Kali training much appreciated brother! David Tampa FL🙏🏼
Besides the classical forms of the abaniko, you open up a lot of head games when you incorporate the explosive supination of the wrist into your flow the way we work the twirling motion of doblete and flourete into other motions. For example, you can start with what looks like #1 slash out of abierta, but then go into a sudden abaniko and strike at the hand or whatever else the opponent wouldn't think the angle 1 would have been able to reach. The first abaniko strike can then follow up into another or possibly set up an angle for another slash instead. The abrupt angular changing is a huge strength of this technique!
Hi Paul, your breakdowns are always soooo helpful so that we know what the purpose and aim is. I also didn't know that the stick is used as training for the bolo. That makes a lot of sense now. Thank you for all of the cautionary statements so that us newbies don't hurt ourselves in our excitement :). Bob's looking kind of scrappy now. He takes such abuse with patience ;) Thanks for all that you do Paul! I appreciate you!
I went to Negros and trained Abaniko Tres Puntas in feb-mars this year. If I had the money for it, my kali goals would be to travel around a lot more and train with those different old school grand masters that might still be alive at the islands. That would be so cool.😊
I took a stick tip hit once on my forehead from an abaniko while stickboxing. It split my forehead in a star cut, five 1/2" long cuts all split from the center of the impact. Bleeds a lot. FYI, that was the last time I ever stickboxed seriously without fencing or hockey masks. 🤪 This was when only a handful of people had even heard of the Dog Brothers or seen their dvds.
Fast and deceptive! Easy to defeat and counter. Fight what strikes work under press and in motion with someone trying to knock your head off🤔🫱🏼🫲🏾🪖🇺🇲🙏🏾
You can tell by the way you wrote that comment that you really know what you’re talking about. 👍🏻 Looking forward to all of your high quality content. 👊🏻 I just wish there were a way to know what your rank is, or… if you’re a free-thinking non-racist American veteran of faith. I guess we’ll never know. 😒

Abaniko training is what gave me tendonitis issues ! Train smart and use braces if need be

Amazing... I will start learning how to use arnis. Thank you for all your beautiful videos.

Very helpful, and clearly explained to avoid injuries, thank you :)
This explains a lot! Thank You for the clarification.
👍🏼🙏🏼
Thanks Paul!!
Thank you! I appreciate your teaching
You are very welcome 🙏🏼
Fantastic máster
Super cool❤❤
Thank you 🙏
Awesome !
This is called Zwerchhau (Twerchhau) in HEMA (historical european martial arts).
Coincidence or influence from Spanish swordsmanship?
probably influence
@@jianchristian1367. I think so too, but that's more than most FMA practitioners would be willing to admit.
Not sure I'd say underrated, as I still distinctly remember Raymond Crowe beating it into us...quite literally in the early 90s 🤣
Great vid, all jokes aside!

TOP!
👍🏼
Great for a sneak attack
I really do think BOB is dead! Save BOB!!!! That's a really good technique to use, its out of the ordinary!
haha!! BOB has been through a lot! He's about to retire.
It’s a sword technique.
Man, poor Bob!
I watch alot of your vids and I think they're great. But I have a tip to increase your views: "More cat cameos."
I agree 100% :)
Slow N... Sexy
Good Song.

If you like training like that then you would LOVE training with Kali Center! Hope to see you at our next event!
