KALIS ILUSTRISIMO & VERDADERA DESTREZA : a Technical Comparison

Yesterday after my seminar in Spain
Ton and I,
we enjoyed comparing some of the techniques from our styles,
and we could find some similarities between some of them,
so we made this short video, we believe that it can be interesting to watch.
I wish also to thank all the people that attended my seminar and the hoster,
it's always a pleasure to teach to motivated people!

Thanks for sharing this. What is the make and model of the rapiers you are using?

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE TAGALOS LEARNED OR COPIRE THE SPANISH TECHNIQUES SINCE THE SPANIARDS PLANNED THE PHILIPPINES 500 YEARS

[@francesco7168]

it is not just possible its a fact that spanish and tagalog/visayan blade arts influenced eachother. The spanish left a huge mark in our terminologies in FMA, not just in our filipino names. A lot of the names, basic strikes, stances and excercises are similar. But i digress, maybe its just the names also since many combative arts in the world, when passed down thru generations, retain what is useful (most of the time when put into the context of where and when the art originated).

@@francesco7168 If we were influenced by the spanish martial arts it was not rapier fencing...more likely military saber since the rapier was not a military weapon. I remember reading something on this debate i believe through a HEMA website if im not mistaken.

@@peekaboojujitsoo525 Yup sabers, in the Bicol province the blades called Minasbads look like spanish sabers and at the same time i was looking at the basic strikes of military sabers it was very similar to basic strikes of some FMA schools. It would be interesting to learn more about this, I'd love to find out too! thanks for your reply!
