I love Grand Master Leo Gaje. I trained with him , grand master John Dee, and master John Thai. Such a blessing in my spiritual and martial arts journey. Salutations.
The Master at work !! ....superb ! Grand tuhon is truly supremo - pugay kuya , maraming salamat po ! :)...dangerous with that ginunting in his hand for sure !.
@@kevinm8614 Yes... I know Ben and met him. We trained together at Intstructor Weekend in 2010. I trained under Guru Ken. Not too many use the term Sikal so I figured there was a connection ;)
grabe sa reflex si tatay, kahit nagjojoke sila, nakakatakot 'to pag seryosong laban.. puro mga major points yung target.. maiintindihan 'toh ng mga mahilig sa accupuncture.. kakakilabot..
@@subsonic9854 Popular in other countries but not in Philippines. That's why it's lost. So many westerners already learned it but not much in the PH. As a matter of fact, not all Filipino knew this art. They knew Taekwondo, Karate and most likely will enroll in those rather than FMA because this is rare in PH unlike Taekwondo and Karate, you can find them being taught in the lobbies of any near malls and grocery stores. It's actually deadlier, hence armies prefer to learn it rather than enroll in fencing and kendo. 🤣 And that's why I guess it's a good thing that it's a lost art, because so many people carry a knife in Philippines. And with the kind of mindset these people has, a small argument can quickly turn deadly. In case you don't know, so many people died in PH for simply singing the notorious song "My Way" by Frank Sinatra. 🤣
Imagine this with real blades and intent in the jungles of the Phillipines. Remy Presas, Bobby Taboada and others. Scary for westerners who grow in relative comfort and safety. But now with MS13 and worse growing in America and Europe this needs to be learned.
The defence not only using hand. The best self defence u can watch at youtube. Just type silat suffian. The trainer from brunei. It a malay self defence.👍
@@tuffguy007 do not make me laugh. Have you ever seen the practice of Kali techniques with real melee weapons on mannequins? For penetration? In dynamics? It is not there and will not be in the near future. So it's mostly clowning. Especially in the performance of the old clown Gaye.
I so enjoyed this combat form , I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to study this before I had to leave. Bless our tuhon and his family

I hope and pray that this GREAT Master pass on all his knowledges to the next generations of Philippines 🇵🇭. Amazing.
Respect 🙏❤️.
That's exactly what he's been doing for 50 years.

1:55-2:00 Those smiles... that's what its about right there! :)
I'm sitting here smiling at the same thing - well said, thanks for the time-stamps!
Enjoyed the heartwarming video. Best wishes for a long and healthy life Grand Tuhon Leo Gaje and Tuhon Apolo Ladra
Simply Beautiful
I really enjoyed this video - thanks for capturing (and producing, and sharing) this amazing footage!
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this.
So badass. Love GT. He’s an awesome martial artist.
its so amazing to watch. I wish kept with my heritage of Filipino martial arts. So beautiful !
Hnd pa huli ang lahat mag aral ka kapatid
Not this specific system, but I must say it is a true honor to be learning Kali and Silat. Sikal is everything!
Do you train under Guru Ken Pannell?
@@chrisdunnettmusic I have yet to have the privilege, I train under Guru Ben Sanford, whom learned from Guru Ken. Sounds like you may know! ;).

Legendary!!
A real civilized humble genteman
Does anybody knows, what is the name of the song/music in the background??

That was awesome to watch 🙏🏽
Galing nyo po
A true grandmaster
2 Masters!
GT you da best!
Grandmaster is too good 💪🏻😎👍
a lost art that that should be taughy in school.
It's one of the most popular FMA systems isn't it? Why "lost"?
No man it is damn deadly it had to be taught only to responsible persons
@@rohitupadhyay1116 no deadlier than hema, fencing, kendo, etc

Seeing this makes me a proud owner of the ginunting

Respect🙏🙏
Beautifully deadly

big humans...
😍
My man’s is the real John wick
GT!!!!! 💀💀💀
Ahahah!!
Never trust the elders! Especially those who laugh a lot.
They will tipically slice you into tiny tiny bits with traditional filipino blades.
Bad ass
I've studied the Filipino Arts love it just don't have a training partner only mook jung can do some much with need living partner 👍
Scary striking for the loser.....
fun to watch the dance choreography... highly doubt this is applicable to defend yourself against a knife in a real scenario.
Do more research on the art. It is actually one of the most effective martial arts out there for self defence and offence with weapons
Every flick of his blade is debilitating and potentially fatal.
Yeah, everybody has a plan until Tuhon slices him into a lot of tiny pieces.

you are right in many ways
