    No style is the best. Everyone is striving to perfect the techniques but there is no perfect technique. I practice Filipino Martial Arts for self-defense because that is what I am inclined to, and I enjoy it more for it is my passion 😉 "The more you sweat in training, the less you'll bleed in combat." - Richard Marcinko

    The non martial arts movements teach you extreme control over the "weapon" even if your movements are not good in defensive situations. If you learn that degree of control first it will give you confidence when learning the defensive techniques. I would love to learnt his art for both purposes.

    Well said. Never really thought that there are people just do Martial arts just for sport. When advertise or looking for schools that say self defence and mainly only teach how to punch and kick, I always think WTF. So many schools maybe show you how to get out of a bear hug once every 6 months. Isn't that what people want to learn or from being mounted etc.

    I detect that many the "critic" misperceive the purpose of flow and drill - whether for self defense or art. For instance; I train in Kajukenbo. It's purpose, of course, is totally self defense. However, we occasionally train Tang Soo Do/karate style kata. Our head professor mocks kata, and calls it useless...even though our sensei will still make us include it in our training. Even our sensei has a habit of admitting that we won't necessarily use these movements, but what I DID find practical about kata is that in the beginning, my legs were so sore afterward. My toes and the soles of my feet would ache. I didn't realize that my stance and balance was being strengthened. I may not squat, and reverse punch a potential attacker, but I am more able to maintain my balance. In Kaju, our only weaponry is knife and rattan. A couple of our art's founders were of Filipino decent, and carried some Arnis over into our mixed art. Sticks(rattan) are not practiced much at my particular dojo(they are all different), but I, personally, spend extra time with rattan on my own. Why? Because, like with kata, I may not perform those beautiful movements - if...for some reason...I am attacked(and I have sticks), but I noticed that twirling those sticks both strengthen and loosen my wrists. I have a habit of warming up with double sinawali just to loosen up before class. Ha! Our Grandmaster in Hawaii, Jason Groff, is a large man, and is known to warm up with rebar before many sessions.

    Wonderful! Thank you for explicitly addressing this. I've done various martial arts for over 25 years and have run into so many dogmatic practitioners insisting that martial arts be for a single purpose. It took me years to unpack and escape the dogma. Martial arts are simply a tool and what you build with those tools is entirely up to you.

    I adore Arnis' panuntukan, and I'm glad you included some kicks in your vlog, but it makes me wonder why arnisadors don't demonstrate a wide range of kicking techniques. Is it because it is a weapon-based martial art, or was it not seen as practical for self-defense by our forefathers? What if you are certain your opponent no longer has a weapon? Can we use and integrate some higher kicks from other Ancient Filipino martial arts to convince others that our traditional Arnis is indeed a complete martial art? Forgive me for asking, but I had never seen a Classic master (except kombatan arnis while at that time karate and kungfu were still popular ) of arnis throw kicks when I was younger. Only in this generation have I seen kicks (higher than the waist) integrated into arnis, which I believe has evolved that makes it a complete martial art but not in the traditional sense.

    • @ponkhan
      @ponkhan Год назад

      You have to remember that arnis as we know it today, as systems, are fairly young. If you talk to the older folks now, they basically didn't teach kicking because they kicked as a matter of fact- it made sense to kick when they had to, not necessarily because it was part of how they were taught to fight. Arnis really is in essence more street fighting than holistic system, and it's only in recent generations that they've tried to codify that stuff. But yeah, kicks as part of the codex is usually a hybrid thing, even Kombatan owes it to Karate, as the Presas lineages are very influenced by their founders' karate education and have never been shy about it.

  • @FinnUkato
    @FinnUkato Год назад

    I agree with being honest about what you do and how you present your art to others. However, when you label something as a "martial art" you place the label of it being practical or at least applicable in a combative context. If someone advertises their style of Arnis as "for performances" then what they teach shouldn't really be classified as a "martial art". Similarly, the sport aspect of a martial art can be called out as not "martial" as you have scoring systems which might encourage impractical actions or discourage realistic or safe actions. I do enjoy the sport, performance, and self defence sides of Arnis, and other similar arts, but having this connotation of practicality or martial application is, I think, where all the animosity towards the different aspects of arnis comes from. This is definitely still an ongoing debate in many martial arts circles, even those outside Arnis, so this is by no means a good conclusion, but I do think that the term "martial art" just has a lot of problems where it creates certain expectations from people, which is something that is hard to solve.

      i am now a bit rusty to train sticks. i have completely forgotten about the stick forms, footworks and a few other balancing tricks. i only do the basic double weave, hard whip sounds, cross training and reverse double weave.
      i have not been doing arnis since i was a teenager. i went on a long hiatus. until i decide to switch styles. i started trained muay thai in 2019 and start liking martial arts again. and then i combined a few strikes, techniques, and concepts of any type of moves that i have developed for self-defense, combat and/or sport.

    Respect, Brother. 🙏
    This is something people tend to neglect.
    Just because I primarily practice Arnis alongside my study of Karate, which itself is geared towards self-improvement and self defense, doesn't mean I should stubbornly insist others do that. It just happens that our humble little archipelago doesn't have Kobudo which used to be a 'sister' Martial Art to Karate but has Kali-Arnis and for that I'm grateful.
    All things we practice ultimately meld together naturally as long as we keep an open mind and a humble heart.
    No style or "way" is superior to another, at the end of the day it's different paths that lead up to the (same summit) of the same mountain.

Your training is good, but what you lack of from training is using real training weapon stick now that you learn using toy stick it's time to use real weapon that is 26inches or shorter metal/iron pipe 5millimeter preferable thickness train and start cracking a whole coconut with husk green husk or dry brown coconut husk or start smacking a tire first then when you are ready build strength in your wrist and arm as metal pipe is heavy. I guarantee you no one will laugh at you when you whack a whole coconut with either green or dry brown coconut and watch it crack open train for the real weapon arnis weapon metal pipe. If you want nunchucks have it welded with chain. Ok no one is going to laugh at you I guarantee that now train.
