Thanks for watching! 🙏 Want more? Here’s my full (uncut) 1 hr 22 min Kali lesson + interview with Johan Skålberg: ruclips.net/video/PSq2F6GpfHU/видео.html
To me, U.F.C./M.M.A. = sports karate + jujitsu ... neither Kali nor kungfu ... this bothers me as I am watching !
Glad you enjoyed our martial arts.. mabuhay ka!
This is another not just great video . But needed documentation!! Thank you Sensei Jesse! You brought up a lot of major points about Okinawa that is happening !! I’m afraid when I finally can travel there to train it will be hard to find a master with the old ways willing to instruct
I really enjoyed this segment, thank you sensei
Could you explore about Kalaripayittu? It is said to have influenced Chinese martial arts.
Master Johan didn't just master the kali, he learned the passive aggressive humor of Filipinos.
As a filipino, I agree hahaha
Yup, haha
@9ine9ine1ne stoopid ????
TRUE HAHAHAHA
@9ine9ine1ne stoopid?
Man it's kinda embarrassing how foreigners are more interested in our culture than us and even find things that we couldn't by ourselves.
Stop saying "our"
Spain gave birth to Filipinos
Anything that existed in that island before the Spanish era is not filipino

Kali is not meant as a self defense unlike most martial arts nowadays, Kali is very aggressive and is more meant to kill rather than just incapacitate. That's why it's very rarely used in mma and more practiced by the military rather than an ordinary person.
Yep it is like Krav Maga but more deadlier
The only reason is more use in militaries because of it's effectiveness
It is not for self defense. But more of a martial art. As in "art for killing."
@@user-cr5zl3gz5z how? the backgroud, philosophy and techs are differnet
Yes I concur!
Filipino martial art is a deadly martial art. I honestly think this is one of many reasons it was not romanticized and being practiced/taught in a larger scale. It is not attached to any religion, philosophy but its an animal form of what humans can do with tools in order to kill. Tribes back then are head hunterers and the terrain is an endless jungle.
These arts are thought to the Philippine Military
and they are taught more intense to the Marines and the Special Forces and sometimes they train with "Bolo" blades.
@@N3Garage These martial arts are so deadly it's not good to teach it to the public. Our society can't have more bad people who know these fighting styles.
@@PoisonousRakun all people should learn it, regardless of their background.
It is romaticized, but in a lowkey way. A lot of Hollywood films. If you know Bucky, the Winter Soldier, his fighting style is Kali. If you watched the Bourne Identity, there was also Kali there. Basically, kali has been romanticized as this cool Hollywood fighting style.
@@m.g.patria8862True but not in the same way as other martial arts. Even in those movies, the characters using them tend to be of military background or a professional. It isn’t showcased like Karate as something a master would teach to just anyone.
Title: Why karate is actually a Filipino martial arts.
Filipinos: Who summoned me here?.
Wow
But you got me
Tru tru
Very true
Its like a youtube cheat code
I feel attacked.
Its just sad that a lot of Filipinos dont know their own martial arts...
They are more fond of cockfighting
Rlly I wanted to try escrimina but its not near my town.
We have kali tho? Aren't they taught in schools? I remember my fingers being slammed by those sticks.
only aware of Pambuan Arnis
Because we are street fighters not martial artists, mostly singers😂😂
as a Filipino I'm happy that our culture and tradition is being appreciated by other nation. Kali is an art of self defense and our national tradition. Thank you for your appreciation of our traditional sports.
Two of my Aikido and Aikijitsu partners decided to branch out to Wing Chun and Kali (one of my friends was half Filipino, half Dutch). The young man that taught the Kali was blindingly fast. I remember the sayings 'first in!' and 'don't try to hit the vitals that require long reaches, when the attacker moves on you, you disable the limb he has presented and eventually the fight ends because he hasn't got enough working limbs'. Ramel Espiritu (sp) was the teacher. I watched him show disarmed with sticks, bare hands, and flip knives. At slow speed, it was easy to see what was happening. At 75%, I could barely catch the move, and at 100% it was a blur which left my friends stinging and their stick or knife off on the ground somewhere. I have a LOT of respect for Kali and for Filipinos overall for so many reasons.
Another filipino literally just said its not self defense style 😂😅 which one is it?
Man, so surprised other Foreigners study our Filipino techniques.
But you could tell that slapping and using the olecranon bone ( called siko) is part of Kali
I learned Arnis in high school.
But as for slapping and siko....
Any Filipino knows how to do it.
Filipina harassed on the street slaps hard, fast and with no practice 😂
@@delcastilloianAs a practicioner, I'm inclined to say that it's a killing art at its core. But the way it's taught and used these days (if for the general public) is slightly different enough to call it a self-defense art that can kill.
There's also the sport version that's fun but largely watered down for obvious safety reasons.
Filipino Kali has lots of similarities with Indonesian Silat and Bokator from Cambodia.
There´s a theory that all these styles originated from one common martial art, spread all over S. East Asia and then every region modified it and made their own version.
Kali has become very popular in action movies, because it looks very "cinematic".
For example, the sword fighting choreography in the last "Dune" movie is based mostly on Kali techniques, Netflix´s Daredevil used Kali stick fighting ( together with Indonesian Silat) and of course Bruce Lee showcased Kali in his movies, because his student, Daniel Inosanto is a Filipino Kali master.
also in marvel movies specially captain america vs buckt barnes
Also eskrima and arnis
ASEAN traditional like kris
ASEAN as in Association of Southeast Asian nations? Bruh...😂😂
yes, the motive of breaking an elbow as shown at 8:25 is super common in many styles of silat.
All of a sudden, Filipinos felt proud and patriotic after watching this video. Then they resumed playing their Tik-Tok and Mobile Legends.
Hahaha
After formally studying a bit of filipino culture I've always been proud of it, have been dissapointed by other filipinos when they have so much international bias.
Like think about it, modern tagalog (not taglish) sounds quite good. But only a handful of filipinos can speak it straight like that.
yep tumpak mo
@@MsDestroyer900 I hear you sis . As a proud Visayan here we have always been looked down upon by the the northerners specifically by the so-called "elite societies" of Manila. I can bet also the Mindanaoans reading this feel the same stigma as well and probably even worse. Tagalog is just one of the many 200 languages spoken in this country . We, Visayans and Mindanaoans are not the river pipol (Tagalog/Taga Ilog). Tagalog is not our mother tongue but is just a tool we use for general communication . Anyhow, peace out.
@@MsDestroyer900 can you give some websites or links where you studied some of culture?
Fun fact: the reason why most Filipinos don’t know much about Kali is because during WW2 the Japanese most likely asked(or forced) to be taught by Kali masters and once learning the Filipino martial art they killed all known Kali masters to add the style to their own(Karate) but luckily a few Kali masters survived and began teaching the martial arts again
Some of them was in the US as farmers which then begun spreading
I don't know, chief. Living in the Philippines, everyone and their grandma here has their own own branch of Arnis/Kali/Eskrima.
@@Shunieeez ah yes, the unholy trinity, walis, hanger, and the tsinelas
@@theysaidimasian9766 and as a bonus, the pink tabo.
Historically speaking this started with the Spanish. The Spanish banned Filipinos from any kind of fighting culture. They banned them to own weapons, there was a law where if you had a blade with a sharp point it had to be cut square so you can't stab with it. Guns were banned to own. This in turn affected their colonies that got raided through pangayaw by the Moro. The Spanish made the Filipinos helpless because they know the same thing that could have helped them in defense can also be used against them.
I just had my first Kali class because my parents don’t know I secretly want to do karate 🤫.
And Kali is incredibly underrated it’s amazing chokes, strikes, takedowns, blocking and then striking. It’s incredible
karate is only flying punching & kicking filipinos learn this method for life survival against enemy
yup various villages and even family members kept their own styles/techniques of the craft private in case tribal wars and raids went down and they had to fight for their lives/valor. So awesome to see more people discovering it across the globe!
@@janski555bro it's almost similar to Kali what make you think of that?
During my First Year of College (wayback in 2004), I remember this was my subject for Physical Education -- Arnis and it was taught none other than the Grandmaster himself, Sir Ernesto Presas in UST (field). This video gave me goosebumps because this was how it was exactly taught in our school/class. Thank you for this! :)
Me too but it is during my sophomore year.not sure if it is still in the curriculum nowadays but during our Arnis class, I broke a lot of sticks and injured twice my partner
“We can all learn boxing in 15 min”
“But it’s a minute to learn, a lifetime to master”

Hey, that was the old Atari rule.....kinda. Easy to learn, difficult to master!

This master knows a lot about Filipino languages,..
His master is a Filipino that's why
He cant promouce it right bc hes a european

Kali is the martial art used by Jason Bourne in all of the Jason Bourne movies.
It was instantly recognizable in form in this video and it is an extremely effective and complex art.
I am very impressed and intrigued by this art and it leaves me at a loss as to why it is for the most part unknown
In western cultures.
@@9daclock131 bruh
Unfortunately Kali is virtually unknown outside of the Philippines.
It is, as stated, an extremely effective and complex art as is escrima, also from the Philippines.
Their complexity may be the reason it is widely unknown, as it takes more time to become proficient than most westerners are willing to dedicate.
and in the movie The Hunted (2003)...love the knife fighting scene most.
It is relatively unknown because it wasn’t a martial arts that was intended to be taught publicly to just anyone. Back then even tribe/families all have different moves/variations taught in secret. There were no dojos or anything like that for it. Spanish colonization made it even more secretive and designed to be taught on a one on one basis.
@@bmona7550 Thanks for the explanation.
The Philippine Martial Arts…just like anything else in the Philippines…like food, tourism and it’s people…are overshadowed by more publicized cultures.
This just shows how interesting the Philippines really is.
I hope the Philippines gets the world wide recognition it deserves- be it Martial Arts but also it’s people, food, places and culture as well.
Before our nation was renamed after a foreign king, we had this baddazz martial arts system that defeat the mongol empire of kublai khan when it attacked Java. That’s right, our ancestors defeated genghis khans descendants
I'd like to know where I can read more about this!
@@vicgon5807 Back in the days, there is Empire called Majapahit (Nusantara) include Indonesia, Malaysia, Filiphino.

Kali is not a sport because it is use by the special forces and elite units of military from some countries in the world. Its sad that Kali is part of our culture and history but our government did not made some efforts to preserve it or keep it in our present culture now. We tend to learn Karate, Taekwondo, Kick Boxing, Muay Tai and other forms of martial art but we didn't know that we have one and it maybe the roots of those other forms of martial arts. In the end I am proud of being a Filipino, thanks for this vlog. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas! 🇵🇭
It's part of the afp and pnp training actually.
Well you said it, it's not a sport. That's why it's not as popular in the masses. It's a lethal weapon that's used as the basics in the Armed Forces and Peace keeping forces. It's too easy to get lethal injuries in this art.
Idk if it's kali but I saw similar moves done by a Scout ranger demonstration
After researching The ph Scout Ranger's were the first to implement this in training
@@boggawt4387 probably is
Actually Kali is practiced by Philippine Military
One thing I got from this is that it showed how versatile and flexible kali/arnis/escrima/FMA is as a martial arts. It's movements can easily flow from weapon's based attacks to open hand strikes, disarms, punches from close range, control distance with kicks, joint manipulation, it literally has all the skills and techniques needed in fighting at whatever scenario or predicament you're in. The skills acquired from this could easily translate from one form to another depending on the situation.
After watching this video, as a Filipino, this video gave me *motivation* and *encouragement* to learn my country's martial art Kali Arnis and I planned to learn it in the future and Love your Karate related Videos and please don't overwork yourself too hard and take some rest if your tired sometimes and love your videos and Thank you👍

The Kali master in this video is an example of the ideal martial arts instructor in my opinion. He knows how to logically explain along with the philosophy of each and every move.
He is also an example of an ideal instructor, because he combines his expertise with his personality, his humor and kindness, and don´t miss to got your attention to listen to him carefully. I feel a huge respect for him, while just see him here on video. What a great person and charismatic teacher!
Yes. And he explains it clearly. No sugarcoating of words and guro Johan is humorous.😊
When I studied Shoreijiryu Karate-do, we learnt the Nitan Bo. Which was explained to me as Filipino Fighting Sticks. We did those exact exercises too.. very practical. Also linked into the Karate Kid drum technique with the Den-Den Daiko. "No be there." Thank you so much for posting this and showing us all some very good and practical techniques.
This was awesome to see. One of the first martial arts teachers I ever worked with taught a drill that was very similar to that Hubud. He had also studied some Filipino martial arts, which makes me think that's where he got that drill from. Great content as always.
Very cool!
How I wish Kali is promoted here in the Philippines and have schools around every city. As Filipinos, we should be proud of the inheritance and heritage given to us or taught to us by our ancestors. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas! 🇵🇭
@@fishgarbage16 Martial Arts doesn't teach riot, it teaches discipline which our younger generations lack.

Guro Johan is clearly an expert in his field. He has the feel down completely and is able to take advantage of any opportunity he is presented with. It looks like he could create opportunities as well to take advantage of.
I like how he can transition from weapons to empty hands so easily and comfortably by using the same techniques and concepts.
Very impressive 👍
I first became aware of this art in The Bourne Identity, and I was impressed. I think it is probably so effective because few people are familiar with it.
I'm a Filipino when I was a kid my Grandpa taught me Kali. It's a martial arts uses a lot of things that can be found in your sorroundings to defend yourself when you are in danger.
does your grandpa teaches all the mom's out there?
No its not kali isnt about self def its about killing your enemy fast
your granpa is badass
Us Philippines can be very adaptive.
wait can it be use to attack?
This guy is a real master. It's a shame, as our host reveals, that true knowledge is fading away into obscurity while amateurs, showered in acclaim, teach the masses.
It's always been this way though. The thing is, the average student isn't going to take their art very far anyway. Low quality teachers are good enough for most people. The serious students will find the serious teachers. Some of the best on the RUclips only have a few views. You find them or you don't. Got to have the right karma maybe😉
Fun fact: The 2021 movie Dune used Arnis/Kali/Escrima in the fighting scenes of the House Atreides. Pretty awesome!
Late to this video obviously, but amazingly done. Kali was my first recommendation when i was getting into the field of private security. Definitely quick, functional, and if needed, very deadly.
I agree, the practice of martial arts was banned or forbidden by the colonizers (Spanish/Japanese) back in the day due to the fear of rebellion hence later on forgotten. There are still some living masters but they choose who to teach. One of Bruce Lee's training partners is a Filipino-American martial artist Daniel Arca Inosanto. Rumor has it that he even went to the Philippines to learn nunchucks.
Back in the day, keris weapon also banned in Indonesia. 17 yo boys usually got their own personal keris as a throphy of adultness from their parent, they bringing keris everywhere just like samurai carying katana. But dutch forbid it, then lot of mpu (keris makers) are also ban to produce keris
"It's a minute to learn, a lifetime to master."
Simple and concrete.
I have a few cousins in Leyte who practice this martial art. I'm late, but thank you for the video, I never really knew about the mechanics behind it all. Master Johan got the Tagalog on point as well 👍🏽
Where in Leyte. I'm also about my lolo that he and his friends used to do Kali in the mountains and she told me that it was so fast she can barely see what's happening.
@@muscularleopard9613 my mom’s side of the family (she’s the youngest of my grandmother’s six or seven kids) mostly live in Camp Downes, a small town near Ormoc. My mom likes to rep Ormoc City as her hometown.
She always said that a lot of the farmers in the area she grew up practiced Kali as a form of self-defense not only against other people but also wild creatures that would get in the farm. As a fisherman’s daughter, my mom was not too big on the sport. But some of my uncles raised their kids on it
@@muscularleopard9613 she also said Kali and Arnis (eskrima) are pretty much the same with a few minor differences, she never elaborated past that lol

I am a Filipino and I'm so happy that Kali or Arnis is now recognize abroad , in my youth Arnis was taught as a self defense exercise in school , but most kids wanted to learn karate instead because it was popular especially in movies , that's a shame we didn't embrace our own arts.
oo nga eh ang dami nating martial arts na sana makilala lalo na ng mga kataan ngayon one of it is sikaran
Man. I love doing Arnis in school. I keep this weapon under my bed so I feel safer. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah iam an arnis player in elementary for two year i quit because i don't have time to focus to school and were out of budget in other bills, i think our culture its not forgotten is just other people can't afford and others don't want them self or there son's to get hurt
Sad to say, in my school years, nobody taught us Arnis seriously. They only give us the basic & then thats it.
Madali lng mapromote ulit Kali. Need lng ng cool movie about it.
I love the way you put your ego aside to be able to learn and understand what the art that the person your highlighting is showing you and us. That is why this channel is so good. Thanks for the great content!
That's a perfect quote. "I'd rather have questions that can't be answered, than answers that can't be questioned".
"You kill me thrice" haha that's why Kali isn't in the game of sports. Kali is a way to defend and kill. Our ancient warriors are so damn cool 🇵🇭
It is a game of death and.. Bruce Lee was filming it
Yup. Martial means War (killing) and Art is forms of expression so 'Martial Arts' is The Art of War or Art of Killing.
It makes sense that the best defence is to remove the threat once and for all. War is just a means to the end, that is peace.
Now i understand what gen.mac arthur said when he said "give me 10,000 filipino soldier and i conquer the world".
Khael Salvador let us make the raid 3
*FMA bow* I practice Kali to. Fellow Martial Artist.
Makes sense that the Chinese learned this from filipinos, they were trading stuff since ancient times.
I think the Filipinos learned it from the Chinese, just like Okinawan Karate is influenced by Chinese Kung Fu.
Some technique of Karate from Fujian Province in the south of China, Before the Han Dynasty, indigenous here had more similar funerals and DNA to people from Southeast Asian countries. And of course the indigenous merged with the Han people eventually. This can also be proved in linguistics, some Fujian dialect has a few words can not be found etymology from ancient Chinese, but those words can be found in Southeast Asian languages. I think it was the indigenous people who retained the ancient form of martial arts and were influenced by Shaolin Kung Fu and eventually formed the Southern Chinese Kung Fu.

Jesse, what an amazing video!
Two years passed and looking to all these comments + the knowledge you got while you were there, I think it would be amazing to dig this theme a little bit more, maybe just like you did in China with the roots of karate with Kung Fu. Karate obviously has some Kung Fu influences, even if it is only it's spirit, that Asian hard style, but maybe it really started from the other side of the globe, and that discover would be amazing!
I can't think of anyone better than you to study this, and I wish that some day I can go to your seminars and maybe be able to learn a lot more with you, with real classes and so!
I'll be hoping and waiting for more, but thank you very much for your content and every research you do and share, I hope you understand how important that is now and the difference that you're making in this world of martial arts for the future as well. Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹 🙌🏼🥋
I love the fluidity he is teaching. It's of similar fluidity we have with the martial art I used to practice (sadly I barely have time to drop by the dojo these days). From this I can say certain martial arts really do have common strokes, and the differences lie in the timing and how fluid the martial artist using it. My deepest respect to all martial arts!

Hey! Imagine if we Filipinos can make a decent action movie out of Kali it would be phenomenal!

I love that you are so open minded, and inquisitive! Keep up the Great work!!!
I agree with you. I think several hundred years ago, Karate, Kali, and other arts most likely looked the same, and were just as effective as Kali still is today. The various eastern arts probably looked identical when you add weapons. You really traveled far and worked hard for this video. I appreciate that fact. The Artist you were demonstrating with was a nice guy, but I believe not to be trifled with.. You have great insight on the arts, I can only imagine what some of your travels have been. Excellent video.

That's the essence of Martial arts. Humbleness
Welcome to the world of our Filipino Martial Arts. Your friend’s teacher, Grand Master Ernie Presas if one of the most important figure heads in our culture cause he and his brother Prof. Remy Presas were the ones who were able to spread the art by inserting it into the educuational curriculum of our nation. He is also a good friend of my Teacher. GM Presas travelled to Japan and stayed them for a long time. As i understand he learned karate and Kenjutsu there as well as him teaching. This is why as it is taught in the educational system of the Philippines are done in forms or katas called Anyo (meaning form in Filipino)
The term Hubod (hoo-bod) is a Visayan (local dialect) that does mean entangle but it is spelled as Hubad. Though Hubad in the Tagalog dialect (more wisely used) does mean strip or get naked.
What you got here was the real deal. Among other things, one of the most distinct difference bet FMA and other arts is that the art is taught with weapons first. Long weapons to be exact because that’s how you engage in a battle. You learn the shorter weapons and later on unarmed combat incase you loose or break your weapon, revert to your smaller back-up or worse, resort to disarming an opponent to survive or go unarmed combat. It’s good to see that he taught you how we Filipinos teach it.
I’ve been watching a lot of your stuff as a FMA practitioner and teacher cause i see a lot of parallelisms of FMA and Karate. It’s good to see you see the same.
Pugay!
(Praise and Honor!)
Thank you for explaining the rationale for learning the different weapons. I understand things a bit more clearly now.
@@sopwithcamelus You’re welcome. One must remember that the Philippine culture is a blade culture much like most of our South-East Asians neighbors. As such, the use of sticks as weapons came very late with in the 17th-18th century. The stick as we know it now (dimensions and all) were actually a walking cane, the Spanish term Baston or Cane, which every gentleman from the lowest farmer to the elite always carried. The use of sticks was that more recent as well as the incorporations of Espada y Daga or Sword and Dagger which was an adaptation from Spanish Destreza (swordplay). According to oral tradition (which was the only way the art was taught, unfortunately). The art was taught through need. If spears were available, they studied spears first. If the tribe was rich enough to buy armor and shields, they would do that too. This is probably one of the reasons why the weapons vary so much from region to region through-out the archipelago while maintaining a specific trade mark for the blades, the curved/hook pommel, reminiscent of a bird’s beak. Bathala’s bird who watched over the actions of men...as so the myth tells.
Great explanation
I remember arnis being taught to us in our sophomore year. The forms shown in the video were more advanced, because we only did the "introductory" lessons. Nonetheless, we learned how to effectively grip our arnis (the sticks that we use), block with them and hit with power. Thank you for sharing this valuable insight! Until now, I did not know that Grand Master Paras was the pioneer of spreading it into our schools. Salamat po sa kanya (I give my thanks to him)!
(Though I also learn traditional karate, I love both worlds)
I was surprised to see that there were similarities between karate and our martial arts.. It's really inspiring me to try and learn our art..!
It is always a great learning to watch your videos, Master Jesse Enkamp! Thanks a lot!
I love this video!! I've watched it before, I just felt like watching it again..
Hopefully before this Gentleman retired. He can transfer allmof this technique to more Filipinos
I would love to learn that.
@@schormu same here
I was thinking of wanting to learn Muay Thai but this is more better because of my roots
That filipino martial art should have been taught to more filipinos as there are so many crimes here, it can be used for self-defense.
@@markjardinez5602 on the other side it was used in crimes. If you watch news cctv you only see 1 strike but 4 wounds that aint good.
The only person who defeated Bruce Lee in a match is a Filipino.. But never revealed that time..
Oh yeah! Trovadour ramos?
His teacher is also a filipino
They don't want to ruin the image of Bruce Lee that time.
Bruce’s good friend Dan Inosanto has Pinoy roots. Dan introduced the nanchaku to Bruce..
Thats a hoax
I love your reactions to it!😄, I would've reacted the same way! That was very cool to see, I definitely learned something today. Thank you!
Man, i love your channel! I started my journey with thaiboxing, trained it 5 years, then transitioned to boxing and freestyle wrestling for another 4 years. Ive not trained since 4 years, because of life happened. Now is everything fine and i can continue my martial arts journey and its gonna be kyokushin-karate. Your videos motivated me. Thank you for that and keep up the good work brother.
When he said, "You have to do your ABCs" reminded me of what my master said, "first learn your ABCs, then put the letters in words, only then you can make a statement." Ah, the memories.
Damn, this is the 2nd comment I'm reading while in the video is also saying at the same time. The first one is happens a month ago from other vid, it was strange.
It's kinda scary how the teacher could basically kill you 3 times in 3 moves
That's how mostly Filipino would think and probably do IF someone gravely messed up with them.
Jave Lester Odvina yeah comming from a filipino🙄
@@JaveLester acting tuff I'm from Q.C wanna fight pull up

I love the Richard Feynman quote! I love all of Jesse's stuff. Because of him I was, and continue to be, inspired to follow the practical training of martial arts.
It makes me feel happy seeing people learn about kali. Even if I didn’t pursue it as much as I could’ve when I started it, before moving on to HEMA, it still feels nice to see an art from my homelands
The way Master Johan cracks his jokes is really Filipino...
Although actually with history that states that ancient Filipinos traded with the Japanese as well, makes sense that they exchanged Ideas as well....
Some of the moves that I saw is also presented in wing chun
Perhaps Chinese , Japanese, and Filipino Martial Arts are siblings
There had to be a Chinese community in Philippines before the Spanish
@@stuart5811 yea before the 15th century
I remember watching a video about aztecs fighting against ottomans in the island of borneo for the spanish and i remmeber the video stating that japanese mercenaries were also included in the battle
@@stuart5811 actually there is.
@@stuart5811 china actually tried invading the philippines hundreds of years before the spaniards, it was like the medieval version of the vietnam war.
This guy is really underrated.. This is documentary grade content.
when i was at the Philippines at batangas my grandma's dad taught me kali,eskrima and i really love the martial art and the story to it so i kept learning and learning for just hobby that's how my great grandfather enlightened my eyes at kali. My Great grandfather is my true teacher in life
Your work is so beautiful! and your humble makes a great sensei of you.

My grandfather was an expert in arnis and kali, you cannot attact him even behind - he died at the age of 106, I used to see him doing those moves, Its very unfortunate that I was so young back then to be teached by him.
106? Dang, thats a very long life he had.
Hah, and my mom still thinks living pass the age of 100 is still impossible no matter what I show her
that's great. but what about your dad or your uncles?
@@HAhAhAhahAHAhHAhAhHAhAAH she will when she get there. Even my grandma's sister died at the age of 97... She didn't even expect that but I think she wants to live that's why. It's also the will that helps her achieved that much.
I’m a student at Chintokan, a Shorin-Ryu Okinawan karate and kobudo school, and we definitely do that too. The arm lock as well, and we even do it with Tanjo similar to the way you did it with the Kali sticks. It’s even part of our katas. Must be useful if it shows up so much!
I never heard of kali and karate being related like that. But the way you explained it, it makes sense. Really good video. Thanks.
This master has a great sense of humor, you can tell he has spent a lot of time with Filipinos. Humor is a big part of our culture, and part of hospitality, to make you feel at home and welcomed like family. Thank you for investigating and sharing this experience.
And trash talking. Copious amounts of trash talking.
@@MotorBunnyBDM
Well, it's better than being a trash talker in comment section
But who told him hubad to get naked only means
That this kali martial art is of visayan origin.
Tagalog hubad = naked
Visayan hubad = to translate, to untangle, to solve.
Naked doesn't make any sense at all.
@@greatkingkay7954 i think its hubod?
@@yusliadnanzakaria74 no it isn't any better
In Coach’s shirt says “punong guro” this made me proud as a Filipino but im sad at the sametime cuz this is not being spread and practice in our country that much. Its just cool having a master of our arts being a foreigner. Mabuhay!
Coz there's no film about the philippine martial arts i hope soon philippines will make a film about the KaLi

"if you want to go to jail faster use 2 knives" greatest quote of 2020
Actually laughed so much at that line
In the past we don't go to jail but go to an all-out war with our victim's family. Even back then it's more fun in the Philippines.
Depends on why and how you use it. And, of course, where you use it.
@@waaagh3203 tell me the situation where stabbing someone with 2 knives is both effective and legal exectly
@@yarinel3251, Medieval Europe, a Rapier and a Dagger. For Dueling. Completely legal
Modern times? That, I don't know. Maybe a place where there isn't any law.
The thing with Kali, is historically, it was taught to outsiders a lot. As long as you were a friend of the family or trusted, you were taught.
Traditionally in Karate and Kung fu, it was always "closed door", no outsiders.
But like you have seen, due to trade between the nations in olden times, what worked, was cross pollinated. The technics that were applicable to real time combat, exists in all the systems.
There is actually a big tie between Spanish fencing and Kali's espada y daga.
They always talk about the connection between filipino twin sticks and rapier+dagger, but they are really different, the twin sticks system is symmetrical, both weapons can do the same things, while rapier and dagger is asymmetrical, the rapier is the main weapon and the dagger is just a support, and is totally optional, you can fight with rapier alone or use your cloak as a defense for the off hand.
From America. I do appreciate you speaking English. It’s very good, your accent is different. But it’s good to listen to.
Really enjoying your channel Jesse. I am now living in the Philippines and sharing my Karate knowledge and I learn a little Filipino martial arts from the locals.
Great to hear!
Love the phrase "Punong Guro" on the master's left arm.
What does that mean?
@@patsonchulu7481 it can mean "headmaster'' or " headteacher".
Headteacher
I read Putang Ina
@@jairusramos1389 it can also mean "principal".
As a Filipino this made me proud,that a foreigner and my idol appreciates one of our culture ❤️❣️
Thanks! Okinawa and The Philippines have surprisingly many similarities! Both islands were occupied by foreign invaders for hundreds of years. (Okinawa by the Japanese samurai, and the the Philippines by Spanish conquistadores). Weapons were also banned and confiscated on both islands, so martial arts had to be studied in secret... Perhaps the very same martial art! 😉
Yup, You're right, Kapatid kong Filipino🥰
I,m also proud of my country b,cuz I,m also a filipino
@@KARATEbyJesse The Philippines also traded with China before the Spanish conquistadors came. So there's definitely a Chinese connection to the Martial Art Kali.
Sanaol nirereplyan ni sensei jesse
Hey, this is pretty badass... You're doing the 1st principals thing and building your own multi-discipline expertise straight from the modern experts. Freaking awesome, really. Keep it up, mate, good luck in your studies.
Wow. What a beautiful satisfying watch. Watching masters work is so satisfying.
I'm Filipino. I practice Karate
I see both Filipino and Karate, I click
Same tayo bro
nagulat din ako sa sinabi ni jesse.
I'm Filipino, I'm a Martial Arts Enthusiant of both Kali and Karate. So I clicked Like
Osu! (Oss) Same! I'm also a Filipino. I used to immerse Shotokan Karate.. for 10 I also I train more into Filipino Martial Arts
I used to train in kyokushin.
I hope this is just a teaser of what's to come. Maybe a "Karate Nerd in the Philippines" series sometime in the future?
👀 yesss
Looking forward on that "Karate Nerd in the Philippines" Kali , Eskrima and Arnis series.
THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!
And the beaches in the Philippines should easily convince his girlfriend to come along.
go have a visit at doce pares🤔
I loved this video! The moves make me think of my instructor.
fantastic as always... total fan of your reports. Johan Skâlbert was my kali teacher in Göteborg. He is a top.
Amazing!
when i was around 5 or 6 years old (im 39 now), i used to watch my uncle teaches some local folks in the neighborhood or from other places Arnis, Knife, and hand to hand combat, so that was Kali, now a days never seen those kinds of martial arts being practice, as a Filipino, I feel sad coz it should have been preserved as part of our culture.
They should have taught you 😅
I was still preserved btw, kali is just an archaic term or arnis.
Its still thought as part of the Philippine curriculum, Arnis is thought in elementary and high school although not as deeply as one would expect but only covers the basics.
My father taught me these hand techniques at a young age. They're ingrained in me as basic as making a fist. He wasn't even a teacher. It's just something he knew that he passed to me.
Cool!
My goodness as a martial arts nerd I used to get excited about martial arts series on tv that came out every rare while. Now we got amazing content like this that we can watch and learn from! Great work!
Saludos desde Guayaquil - Ecuador, sigo tus reportajes que son muy buenos y así aprender algo más o corregir, soy javier zurita y enseño karate shito ryu en el suburbio de mi ciudad a niños de muy bajo recurso....un fuerte abrazo
Fun fact: Some of the exiled Japanese Samurais that converted to christianity went stayed in the philippines
Fun fact. Before Spaniards came.
Chinese, japanese, middle easterners and also Indians were coming in and out of the Philippines, while Moro( the native filipino) were respected from their royalty as sultans and raja.
Sultan were sending Moro with mastery in deadly martial arts to neighboring country to participate in defending their lands from Mongol warriors.
Before the native from Luzon and visayas embrace the so called Christianity. Neighboring country such as Malaysia, Japan, Vietnam, China,India, middle east, were respecting Moros because of their strength and knowledge in martial arts, battles and tactics and wealth.
Then here comes Spaniards, those from Luzon, visayas were enslaved and raped. But still embraces Christianity.
And those who fought and never been conquered were from Mindanao, and still pure Moros.
yes Joan naito and Takayama ukon etc in Paco Manila ask historians ambeth ocampo, Felipe jocano also an arnisador
True. A lot of different peoples migrated to the Philippines over the centuries.
Interested to note Manila has the oldest Chinatown in the world "Binondo" From the 15th cent. If you visit it looks like any other Chinatown in the world but very big.
@killer queen Yes, aeta are native Filipinos also mansaka, mandaya etc. Even Mindanao didn't colonized by Spaniards not all of them are moro
That's really interesting amigo. Thanks, I love learning something new. Cheers mate!
his shirt says "Punong Guro" .. i really hope this goes mainstream and be taught to schools 💜🙏
Thank you, for show your video, my uncle from Hawaii that passed away, was trained by Dan Inosanto many years ago
Jesse, we need a Karate Nerd in Philippines series exploring the history of Kali and other Filipino martial arts. You will leave exploring the country, eating the food, and learning cool new martial arts!
U could say Kali is being 'modernized' here in the Philippines to what we now know as Arnis. U were able to see how deadly kali is; in the time of our ancestors, death or receiving fatal injuries during training was common. After the colonial times, Remy Presas, the founder of modern arnis, developed it to make it 'safer' for training. Instead of killing purposes like back then, Arnis now focuses more on self-defense, countering, disarming etc the enemy, and to develop brotherhood/camaraderie between the trainees or respect to their seniors.
It's been included in our PE classes at school (tho that depends on the school itself, my senior high only recently added arnis last year while my college has had it for years now).
You're a lesbian, right?
@@zevelenoshi9233 in ur mouth?
@@junjungatbos3548 yטסr dad takes it up the a22
@Miss Chalk There are dozens of styles. Modern Arnis is just one of them, although one of the bigger. Kali Sikaran, as in the video is another. You can also look at a more american approach with the Dog Brothers or something more for shorter distances like Balintawak, just to name a few. There are lots more.
Arnis was taught at our public high school up until 2001 and got removed the next year when I was a freshman. I don't know what. I went to the park last weekend, a saw some students practicing Arnis with their teacher. Wish I had I same opportunity.
"I'd rather have questions that can't be answered than answers which can't be questioned" is such a perfect line. And not just for martial arts.
I love it!! Definitely will repeat this quote to others thank you.
You should give proper credit for this quote which was originally intended to question the authority of religion.
Richard P. Feynman.
@@jamestown4867 It's so tempting to say "no I was quoting Jesse in this video" but yes, Feynman is where the quote original comes from. Thanks for adding that :)
imma steal that.
The way this guy moves and how this art works is exactly how you move in Gongfu and how Gongfu works: flowing, sticking, going into openings and being in constant motion or in a state of preparation for constant motion, releasing power is kept to the shortest time possible (called Fajin), being ready for adapting to your opponent instantly again (no stiff unnecessarily long tension: flow-shock-instantly flow again).
Wow...i admire and happy to see tjis video again Sir Jesse, how i wish you could go to Philippines enjoy, and discover how Karate started in the Philppines, Mabuhay Sir Jesse...🙏
The sad part in all of this is that during Japans war time they apparently asked a bunch of older Filipino martial arts to showcase their knowledge in a show in Japan but they never made it cause they were killed. If those masters were never murdered maybe we could’ve learned truly the connection between our arts.
Honestly, the way this Master uses his knives are terrifying and just put my 10 years of martial arts experience in the trash.
and this happens in a flash. you'll never know what happened. that's how fast kali/arnis is.
That knife stuff in particular.
You shld research the so called “batangas”. A kind of knife. I grew up watching my older brothers showing off who has the best batangas. A boy/man carry one during my time. Don’t worry, this is almost the equivalent of swiss knife but this is used for protection instead of a carrying a gun.😜😜😜
@@teresitaanggo4739 "the butterfly knife" yea ive seen them before and had some people demonstrate some moves infront of me. They're definitely an intimidating blade when flipped around. seem pretty solid also. I'm in Canada and theyre illegal to carry here.
It's OK. Nothing I have already seen. But only because there's a guy I'm learning balintawak from, who's knife stuff is even more terrifying. Add quickdraws and hidden draws while he's attacking you with the left or right hand. Knife from a kydex hidden behind his t-shirt, and then after stabbing hiding the hand again... That is terrifying.
I like this video bro,, it wakes me up to continue on my skill... i remember my childhood giving time with martial arts. Goodluck bro..
