Guy on the right needs to work on his lines. Not as clean and crisp as the master. Make sure your knuckle line follows the strike pattern. For example when you throw the number 1 strike and then follow with an upward strike notice how the master keeps his knuckles in line with the strike. Meaning if he had a blade in his hand he would be cutting whereas guy on right would be hitting with the flat part of the blade if that was a bladed weapon. You can see it when he ends his upward strike and the stick rotates his hand whereas the masters hand does not rotate. Anyway just some advice.
It’s funny since I studied for over 20 years but that is a question I never asked myself. Haha. I think Todd is right. It trains you to keep your “check hand” out of the way in long range. While these are sticks they are using, this is in fact a bladed art. Personally I also think it helps to remind you that in fact you have a second hand available to you and reminds you where it is without having to look down. Sounds kinda strange to say that but when you are actually fighting your vision can kind of narrow on your opponent and you can forget that you have a second hand, feet, etc that can also be used and can also forget where it is and you can end up getting it smashed (either by you or your opponent (My hands got smashed a lot LOL).
two purposes. The first is practical for newer students. Its stops or reminds them to stop the moemtum of the follow through of the stick. The bigger though subtler one is to put the hand in correct position to attack and defend in tandem while moving the hand and fingers clear of the blade with purpose.
Slapping his left hand means, you have a 2nd weapon you can use and always practice using both hands in a fight. (Example when you strike on your right you can follow up with your left by simply pushing, punching, grabing etc..)
Very nice GM Felix 👍🏾with lots of footwork and power. Thank you for sharing this knowledge.

Very interesting precision, thank you I'll try it
This is one of the best combo on kali I've seen.
Do you have a video on guarding techniques? Like covering your face for defence?
simple but effective when impact..

What is the purpose of slapping the body with the off hand?
Perhaps it makes sure your parts aren't in the way of the movement?

It is like when you punch you need to shout!,
