This is the best arnis fight in RUclips history. Correct me if I am wrong. Most other arnis videos are just hitting without thinking, because they have armors, they easily forgot the fact that these sticks are supposed to be swords or bladed weapons, so, what they do is just let their opponent hit them cuz they armor anyway. And that is why I believe this is the best sparring video I have ever seen, because they are thinking of what will happen if they are hit. I am not even an expert in Filipino Martial Arts(FMA) but this is just basic observation.
As one of my instructors used to say "If you ever pull this off in real life, make sure somebody records it or i won't believe you." Training is a reference point , it rarely if ever looks the same in a real exchange , BUT sometimes it's pretty close. Things get longer and wilder but those sticks are meant to be blades, imagine all the damage that would have been done
When I first started watching these kinds of matches I was highly critical of FMA because the live energy sparring didnt look like the practice I saw in training...well, I believe that to be a symptom of me not know what to look for. Slowing it down with commentary like this really helps and I hope it helps others as well.
Thanks brother. It was great sparring with you. It was one of my favorite sparring sessions. Can't wait till we can do it again at the next event. Keep putting out great content. And I love those shoes, lol.
Position one but your strike is not number one but number nine strike. Your left arm is cover your head. Strike him with number nine in the position of number one. Their are twelve number of strike. That's is very effective
Lots of mutual destruction, Zero degree strike on after another. I was taught to always put my feet together and bridge on all attacks. Never play tick for tack. Keep growing.
This is the kind of match I was expecting in the SEA games arnis tournament, where both competitors aren't fully armored so that they will be considerate in their tactics on how to trade blows in carefully manner, in this match I've seen a lot of moves that highlights the best of arnis, like a near disarm and abanico strikes, it's much more appealing to watch and easy to observe who lands the strikes, unlike in the SEA games both competitors are fully armored which made them much secure and compromise their defense in exchange of getting more landed hits for points, in the untrained eye of any viewers it would seem they are whacking each other in a chaotic manner which ended up arnis being ridiculed at. My suggestion is they changed the rule and the gears. Kinda the same you guys had, and both competitors should wear a fair padded white armors like in the match in the SEA games and the sticks should be changed with something so light yet durable so being hit would be enough to give the idea of being in a live combat so both competitors would not to compromise defense.. and both sticks should have a paint that Indicates the landed hit. Making it more easy to distinguish the landed hits for the viewers, also since it's a paint both competitors will be more careful and would rely on tactics on how to strike their opponent, I find your sparring more appealing than the actual SEA games arnis tournament! I really hope that the arnis org would change that rule
Correct me if I'm wrong but i think the rule system used in SEA Games is what they call the Continuous Rule. Basically the one who's more dominant wins the round. There is also like the one on this vid that they call the Point System rule, who lands first and deflects the coming counter wins.
Paintball for edged weapon skills... mistakes HURT and they should. RL hurts so much more! Thanks for sharing your skills...VG footwork and line control. Props!
This really impressed me :) I really liked the slowmo replays so we could appreciate what just happened.. To the untrained eye the speed makes it hard to see just how much more there is happening than just two guys hitting each other with sticks. I think some of those techniques you executed instinctually are a by-product of your training. You've figured out how to move in certain directions. Even if you never trained those specific techniques... It is possible that you wouldn't have attempted them had it not been from the foundation your training has given you. That's why experienced practitioners of any art will find it easier to learn a new art.. The body can only move in certain ways and once you realize this, the movements become easier to transfer from one style of martial arts to another.
@@everythingplayfull it is because the martial art is to remember the moves itself, it doesn’t have to be a stick, you could use a knife too or any other melee weapon
@@andrzejagria1391 yea but look at what the military typically the marine they use it to kill but the one that mosly being teach in public is like a art but the military one is actually ll the real one kali is for killing not self defense
Had a stick fight once with no gear. Got my mouth busted and my bottom front teeth r still crooked. Other fools leg got worked and I put some speed bumps across his head. Scored a knock down too. Shit was kinda fun, but if it was swords we woulda prolly both died.
We don't have any armor here in the Philippines. Last time we sparred full contact with rattan I couldn't move my hands for the next week. It's pretty brutal.
hey there just imagine what it was like when they played for keeps? Sword vs sword real combat fisrt strike wins (Usually) no squaring off, no time to think, multiplayer melee shit. Have to have heart of a lion, ballz of steel, and a passion forged in the belly of the sun to live that life. Winners looking like they r shark attack survivors. Don't think I woulda had the guts to be a fighter when men got down with swords.
@@nunyabizz1508 it's true during 2000's sparring matches is without gear. Even masters encourage us to fight without gear. But there is a lot of rules. So it's true that after the match you will feel pain and usually you will find bruises in your body.
I'm learning escrima right now and I've been searching RUclips for stick fighting videos but unfortunately there aren't a lot to see here.. so seeing this video made me very happy thank you
I guess that's the point of those endless drills. To make the strikes and reactions almost instinctive since in a fight you don't really get to think about your moves too deeply, you just see something and before a thought goes into your mind, the body is already moving. Good sparring match though!
at 3:54 (the super cool movement) Appears to be a modified abaniko, and with your foot work you managed to break his midline and land the shot. Good job.
Great session, i wish a lot more people starting self defence would see this video to realize you cannot go for the disarm or trap, things go too fast. Love the high spirit, keep it up please.
Cool to see. One of the gyms I used to train at, I got to do some stick sparring. We used gear and padded sticks one time, and sticks that resembled twist ties another(they werent very sturdy). Was fun. Got some decent strikes and took some strikes.
I know this is an older video but yeah it's one of the better FMA videos I've seen. I practice Kali/Eskrima and yeah I love the competitions, but without filming stuff and slowing it down for people, it always looks incredibly chaotic (and often is). I think padded stick is a good compromise between full armour and live stick with limited armour (shown here), because you can still train very regularly without picking up too many major injuries, but everyone should try sparring like this at least to see how it is and to really feel what it's like to be actually fear getting hit with a live rattan stick.
So this is how Philippines Kali looks like in real fight. It does not include any fancy movement Kali practitioners shows us how it would hurt opponent in a very artistic way
in this kind of stick fight i often use 'rotating wrist strike' parrying from the left and then hitting to the right or vise versa or without parrying just fainting your attack then hit the opponent. really useful!
hey GN .. what's your thoughts on collegiate full contact arnis here in Philippines? is part of next year's South East Asian Games and probably 2020's Olympics
I believe this is how sparring and competition should be. adding some realism to it. not just flailing in speed the sticks. wish grappling would have been included and strikes using legs and knees and some boxing and thai boxing. In short I wish it had MMA elements and I wish competition was like that.
From watching that I'd say anyone wanting to improve their stick fighting could benefit from doing some fencing, in particular the saber. The footwork and speed of a good fencer is a thing of beauty. Plus you'd be sparring every time you train.
@@maximusspes3319 Martial art, is called an art for a reason coz it takes discipline to learn, it involves self defense, and fighting. This one seems sports, no basic, no defense just pure striking based on points without no real meaning. Its things like this that gets arnis and Eskrido disrespected coz they are using it wrong and shouting at the world that kali and arnis are the same when its not. Taga cebu ko brad doce pares for almost 6 years. Since 20 years old ko. Dli ni arnis, sinapat ni.
@@exogendesign4582 you said "seems sports, no basic, no defense...etc. " Question: do sports have no defense no basics? Boxing for instance is sports. Do you think it has no basic and discipline? It's definitely a contradictory statement. If you really are into any kind of martial arts, you also have the so called MMA or mental martial art or mental defense. GN and those other martial artists with him in this video spent years to learn the basics and the discipline of the arts. Maybe you watch too much movie martial arts. That's choreography for entertainment. This video here it is meant for real fight like that of a "matter-of-life-and-death street fight." in real fight just expect every choreography you see in the movies every demonstrated movement you see in martial arts expo is gone. There is only trained instinct movement or trained reflexes, that if you are trained. Never limit martial arts to a Box of particular knowledge. Get out of the box and you'll see infinite variety of martial arts. Happy to exchange ideas with you BAY. Bisan asa dapita di gyud moatras ang bisdak. Salamat kaayo Bay.
And if you want to be sure this is the real deal, you can hear the word from the child says "dapat tanggalin ang bakal" means "steel should be removed" steel=bakal ruclips.net/video/uGvmOD11fcE/видео.html
GN your footwork was on point, great work. I'd try some Redondo, elastico type strikes maybe next time. I've done the full contact kali fighting. I know I've seen a lot of guys mainly use angle 1 and 2 attacks. Both you were imo the first I've seen use different angels. Kudos to you man for getting in there like that though lol. It's like a real fight, I don't if I could do that and I train in Kali lol. Keep training bro much respect 🙏
What type of gloves are you using? I've got some lacrosse style gloves but my hands got smashed, so I'm looking for something with a lot more padding. Would you recommend the gloves your wearing?
I love how people misconstrue kali as a pure stick fighting art. Forgetting that the ratan or kamagong sticks are proxies for the itak, bolo, etc. Sure, ratan and kamagong can be lethal, but imagine those same strikes with an itak.
I take my comrades and we do the same thing every day but without protective equipment, of course it hurts but that feeling when you block a hit so strong that you know you could die if it's hit your head is indescribable (Nobody has been gone to a hospital for the moment)
Dude, if it's possible, you and other FMA athletes should enter Combatcon 2020 for the singlestick sparring competition!! I feel like you'd do very well there despite it having a different format and ruleset... (and I'd love to see the clash of disciplines between FMA and HEMA)
I'm curious if you guys have an assessment of the various HEMA techniques, particularly the one's related to unarmed fighting and stick fighting, that are slowly starting to see a resurgence?
HEMA is an organization, you probably should refer to those techniques as MARE (martial arts of renaissance Europe,) which caught on in part thanks to the excellent book of the same name by Sydney Anglo. Although I will admit I'm biased due to my ARMA Scholarship. I personally really love Kampfringen but it doesn't get nearly enough love.
Kampfringen, that's a german discipline, right? I'm curious about them as they teach techniques with longer weapons that can reasonably be concealed out in the open as it were. Indeed, they can even be argued to simply be weapons of opportunity in the right circumstances which is good for the legal side of things afterwords, while extra reach and lack of need to draw it (since it's already in hand.) seem like they'd help with the practical end of things.
Kampfringen actually means Grapple-fighting. It's an unarmed discipline. ruclips.net/video/W0fV1oB3j4c/видео.html That stems from knights duking it out in the fields. I'm currently working towards mastery of the longsword, got a long way to go, but my next weapon will probably be quarterstaff and dagger. Probably rapier after that in about 10 years. Quarterstaff techniques can basically be used with any old stick or pipe you find out in your travels and I guess the same can be said for half-swording ruclips.net/video/vi757-7XD94/видео.html
Isang katanungan: Kali is for short range type of combat; you get in to stop an attack, to counter, to attack, do a lock or a take down, get out a bit and do a killer strike. But of all the sparring videos I have watched, why do the practitioners tend to do the whip strike with their body awkwardly stretch as to allow them to spring back away immediately which looks very silly? They could adapt Kendo's way of sparring that gives points to technique on how an attack, counter attack was deployed and not just hacking each other with the baston. This way, what is learned during drills can be applied. Kali is a fighting system (not an art or sport) which aims to end a fight quickly. With this kind of duels being practiced right now, it's much better to pick up a rock and throw it to the opponent.
Wowww, Great sparr GN, the last strike that you did look like a bagsag, from RRK, and Illustrisimo system.. Warm greetings to both of you.. Thank you for sharing..
A+ on a great camera and wide angle so we could SEE the moves, not other people's heads. Ditto on the slo-mo and descriptors so us noobs could follow the action, many THX!
I really enjoyed watching this video. Thanks for sharing it. I noticed a lot of angles #1 and #2 (downward diagonal strikes) to the head, as well as horizontal strikes. Would have liked to have seen more low line strikes, Redondo strikes, and don't think I saw any Punyo strikes unless I missed something. I've always said that Punyo end can be very effective. Question: What brand do you think makes the best protective gear? Miraming Salamat
conscious or instinctual? if techniques such as attacks or defense or both come out in the match, they've been trained I am pleased either way. sometimes it's too fast to think.
Please look into The Pekiti Tirsia Tactical Association headed by Jared Wihongi. They have done a phenomenal job at delineating art and function. History, preservation of art and functional, progressive concepts meant to address modern day threats.
My father was had Arnis skills. When I was younger, my father attacked by 4 men armed with knives. He managed to survive even he was unarmed. He got some wounds in his arms ☝️. Arnis players can fight without using stick, just a hands.
It's like eneything else the more people that do it the better it will be if it became a real sport that people did and watched people would get really good at it and it would definitely be offective

Hey where did you get the gear for sparing.mask / gloves?
Position one but your strike is not number one but number nine strike. Your left arm is cover your head. Strike him with number nine in the position of number one. Their are twelve number of strike. That's is very effective
Making move of forward And backward are not effective. Just make A stepping left or right while striking or defense mode
Lots of mutual destruction, Zero degree strike on after another. I was taught to always put my feet together and bridge on all attacks. Never play tick for tack. Keep growing.
I liked how they put some Capoeira ginga into the Kali footwork. It seems to transition well into Kali so long as you have the fundamentals down.

It originated as one art but became specific to individual islands.

Kampfringen actually means Grapple-fighting. It's an unarmed discipline. ruclips.net/video/W0fV1oB3j4c/видео.html That stems from knights duking it out in the fields.
I'm currently working towards mastery of the longsword, got a long way to go, but my next weapon will probably be quarterstaff and dagger. Probably rapier after that in about 10 years.
Quarterstaff techniques can basically be used with any old stick or pipe you find out in your travels and I guess the same can be said for half-swording ruclips.net/video/vi757-7XD94/видео.html
damn bro, very nice, just seeing this. Good job!
Isang katanungan: Kali is for short range type of combat; you get in to stop an attack, to counter, to attack, do a lock or a take down, get out a bit and do a killer strike. But of all the sparring videos I have watched, why do the practitioners tend to do the whip strike with their body awkwardly stretch as to allow them to spring back away immediately which looks very silly?
They could adapt Kendo's way of sparring that gives points to technique on how an attack, counter attack was deployed and not just hacking each other with the baston. This way, what is learned during drills can be applied.
Kali is a fighting system (not an art or sport) which aims to end a fight quickly. With this kind of duels being practiced right now, it's much better to pick up a rock and throw it to the opponent.
And also thats what i was trying to say pero di ko pa explain opo bawal po yung papitick bawal din po tuloy tuloy palo
i have to agree, nagmukhang fencing ung laban and parang di naprapractice yung talagang system ng kali eskrima
Wowww, Great sparr GN, the last strike that you did look like a bagsag, from RRK, and Illustrisimo system.. Warm greetings to both of you.. Thank you for sharing..
Hope that I didn't offense anybody with thie last comment.. Cheers RUclips community and FMA practionners.. Gumagalang po..
A+ on a great camera and wide angle so we could SEE the moves, not other people's heads. Ditto on the slo-mo and descriptors so us noobs could follow the action, many THX!
1:58 is called "Paint the fence"

You did well bro, respect
Loved your footwork. It really messed up his OODA loop.
You really inspire me to practice more on footwork! Beautiful footwork man!
jinseng Footwork is vital in nearly all MA's.
Besides katanas, I love escrima/kali sticks. It is an excellent, all-around weapon.
last strike was awesome,
great counter.
Good job bro I respected it
Nice work GN
Girls: They're just sticks

My mma class practices kali after kickboxing and grappling. It’s really cool stuff!
Nice combi training...
I really enjoyed watching this video. Thanks for sharing it. I noticed a lot of angles #1 and #2 (downward diagonal strikes) to the head, as well as horizontal strikes. Would have liked to have seen more low line strikes, Redondo strikes, and don't think I saw any Punyo strikes unless I missed something. I've always said that Punyo end can be very effective. Question: What brand do you think makes the best protective gear? Miraming Salamat
So, my conjecture is correct. There really isn't much Kali hand forms being used in real fights. It is more about footwork and your wrist movements.
Nice you apply a real techniques congrats unlike other video of same content they are not throwing a technic.
conscious or instinctual? if techniques such as attacks or defense or both come out in the match, they've been trained I am pleased either way. sometimes it's too fast to think.
Its not actually something that I trained...-GN
ah yeah. well that's awesome. you did say that as I watched second time.
So basically all those shenanigans of big movements beautiful looking don't work in real scenarios but it's much better to train in fencing then !!
amazing fight, shows the instinct
Aren't these fencing head gears? Are these durable enough to stop prevent denting due to arnis thrusts? Thanks!
Wow this reminds me of my fencing days
Great video! Please do more contact sparring videos. This is superior to Doug's lame flashy videos with no resistance.
Please look into The Pekiti Tirsia Tactical Association headed by Jared Wihongi. They have done a phenomenal job at delineating art and function. History, preservation of art and functional, progressive concepts meant to address modern day threats.
My father was had Arnis skills. When I was younger, my father attacked by 4 men armed with knives. He managed to survive even he was unarmed. He got some wounds in his arms ☝️. Arnis players can fight without using stick, just a hands.
This is a sport? Where do i sing up i love sticks
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
nice footwork
You should go to a Dog Brothers gathering sometime. Nothing but full contact sparring there.
Planning on it.
I'd call those fights. seems like they're getting called sparring more these days by folks who haven't seemed to have been there.
@@zplitterz whats the difference?
I think you did awesome.
Thanks
This is alot better than with full foam armor.
That foot work required a lot of traction and strength to move like that. I'm a light guy and I'm sure I wouldn't be able to move like that
you sure can!
They do that shit in flip flops out here in the Philippines. These kids are crazy.
the strikes i noticed were "taas"(upward strike) "baba"(downward strike) and "redonda"(circular strike).
Awesome!
There’s no nearby escrima instructors near my place been doing self taught stuff but it’s not the same
It's like eneything else the more people that do it the better it will be if it became a real sport that people did and watched people would get really good at it and it would definitely be offective
You should read floro villabrille story how he use kali in the old time he participated in a death match
This is how the training should be. Not overly armored.
Is this better than krav maga as a form of personal self defense?
