Hi Sean , I have been watching your videos for quite some time, and as per the little knowledge I got from many youTube videos abt filipino martial arts ....... there is a similar movement pattern for both armed and unarmed combat ..........in simpler words ....the weapon drills traced without weapons forms the crux of unarmed combat .......please correct me if i'm wrong here......... and its a huge request ......pls do make a few videos on those similar movement patterns in filipino armed and unarmed combat !! ,,/\,,
You are correct, much of the unarmed fighting (Panantukan) in FMA is based on the movements done with the sticks or knives. There are differences in how the movements are applied depending on the weapon being used, but the foundational patterns cascade through the different weapons. It is a fascinating system, and we call this concept "Substitution Principle". I have practiced FMA for 5 years now.
@@Shacksies damn cool man !... And as per what I have observed ...not every instructor on RUclips teaches the ' substitution ' principle........is it because there are many styles in FMA and only few styles follow that principle !?
@@r.ashutoshsrivatsa5138 i dont wanna claim i am an expert - but IMHO many know that "Substitution Principle".. but very few are capable to explain AND Show AND Teach it in a manner so that every one understands or becomes aware of that. And for me: although i know about that in theory .. its hard to DO it (more often than i like)
Yes, You are correct. One of the draws that I find very attractive about FMA is it's universal movement, patterns, and flow from empty hand to any object (Weapon) in your hands. Obviously, a understand of each weapon and it's direct applicability to the engagement and strength of that weapon is very important. For Instance; Heaven Six with hammer fist, finger jab, grab, or chop with the hand to certain targeting system to the correlation of double knife developing the body mechanics and understanding of when to use point of the blade to thrust, slash or punyo (butt of the knife) to direct targeting systems. This could be a great video to cover some of the basic concepts to get anyone started on the path of understanding it, and developing the body Mechanics.
@@PINNACLECOMBATARTS okay....so .. is this " substitution principle " a foundation of FMA( that some one can learn without much difficulty) or an advanced skillset that we get to learn and understand only after we have achieved some sort of flow with the weapon drill and the targeting efficiency!??
I sent a message via facebook several days ago and never received a reply so I'll inquire here: do you have any instructors that live in or moved out to Eastern TN or North GA? Chattannooga, Cleveland, Ringgold areas?
Looks like Dan Inosanto mixed in JKD or WC with his panatukan. Thats a very JKD move. Since pantukan is a blade art, it really focused on defanging the snake with destructions, and is a less direct than JKD but totally understandable since you have to deal with the blade. I highly doubt, Filipino Panatukan practitioners would deal with a blade like this.the parry yes, add an elbow destruction or fist slice yes,but parry to eye jab leaving the blade mano v mano vs one hand, I dont think so . You can use pantukan emty hand, but it is a blade art and IMO, should be practiced with blades
❤❤❤
Very good!!!!
