Your fists should be used to fight your way to a knife, which can be used to fight your way to a pistol, that you can use to fight your way to a rifle - if you own anything more serious than that, and need to use it, you are using an area weapon.
I think people get confused because you don't actually see a hit. These are all theoretical for sparring purposes. The moves are so fast you miss the "hits", that's the sign of a true master. If this were an actual fight it would have been long over.
Kali uses sticks for sparring but those sticks are portrayed as bolo/sword in real fights. Kali is not for sporting purposes it was created to kill and kill fast.
True Master's indicate their art by showing it. Both of these men are Master's notably because of their skill, but also because their not "hiding" their art. Beautiful stuff, this for me is the essence of martial arts.
Thanks everyone for your comments! Once again I thought it would be useful to draw the attention of many of the negative commentators to a fairly simple fact. Would you comment on a video demonstrating an armbar in BJJ with things like "I'd just stand up and stomp on him", or "I'd just start punching him, BJJ doesn't work."? Once again, this video is demonstrating one component of a complete system. As much as I'd like to be able to demonstrate all of Diamondback Escrima in one video, that would be quite a long one. Rest easy knowing that kicks, knees and grappling are all accounted for in the system.
Too many keyboard warriors and gunslingers in this thread. Just to make things clear. This is not a sport. It is a means of survival. No one should compare this to MMA. Nor should they compare this to guns. People need not show or tell other people their secret techniques just to impress you, because it is a secret. We have dealt with all this problems since the Spaniards came to our islands with sabres and cannons more than 500+ years ago, Japanese with their bayonets and katanas, and Americans with their advanced weaponry. But we did not become Hispanic, or Japanese, or American. So for a keyboard warrior that the most violent time in his life was school bullying, please give respect.
Anyone calling these guys "hacks" or saying this isn't real martial arts is simply ignorant of fighting mechanics, drills, technique, etc. Also, this is clearly lighthearted (not even official) sparring for fun. Whether with knives, empty hands, or a broken pool stick I guarantee at 100% full force and speed either of these two men would DESTROY most, if not all, of your keyboard warriors' favorite MMA champs if similarly armed. There is a reason why eskrima is taught to army special forces around the world, including the US, IDF, etc. Also, don't compare this to MMA period; this is a 'weapons'-based fighting system, which is why you don't see it in MMA or typical sportfighting. It's designed for defense against and delivery of murder, plain and simple. It is meant for street fighting, and war. Throw your MMA fighters into a bar brawl or life-or-death combat situation with a group of master eskrimadors, and your MMA fighters will most likely be dead when the dust settles.
I love this comment~! like god! people these days are so retarded! mostly MMA is for sports or gang fights (that uses mostly yer limbs) or something~ but eskrima or kali or arnis is for war or for survival situations because this martial art is straight to the point ( to kill ) or tryin' to defend yerself by paralyzing them, not tryin' to show some dude cool poses and kicks and shits. if sir ernesto were to be serious then that Australian guy would be dead by now and that stick would have been replaced with swords like a bolo..
You're thinking of the Dog Brothers. The practice full contact filipino martial arts... escrima, kali, etc. Sometimes dual sticks, single stick, (training) knives, stick v knife, etc. Years ago they tried to get the UFC to allow them to do exhibition matches... the UFC wrote them back and said they were too violent.
Thanks everyone for your comments! Please remember that this is one tiny excerpt of one tiny aspect of a much larger system. Saying, "This wouldn't work against a prison yard rush" is somewhat ignorant, as this video is not demonstrating knife defence or knife fighting, rather a way to break down stick to stick work at close range, and develop speed, distance and reflexes. Make sure to check out some of the other footage on our channel!
As a beginning student in Canete Doce Pares, it fascinating to watch the real experts spar and train full contact. What I'm struggling with is when watching full contact one or two stick matches, it looks like a bunch of haymakers and wild swinging without any real mastery of defensive/offensive techniques. The mano mano is fun to watch, as well, but I'm not sure how realistic the trapping techniques would be against a street boxer, kickboxer, or someone who rushes in to tackle and take it to the ground. I also never see, even the top practitioners, training with fully resisting partners. It's always with compliant partners where the techniques work every time. Any feedback is much appreciated. Thank you.
When they play full contact at Doce Pares, they use the armour yeah? With the armour there's no real need to defend yourself as you're not properly punished if you get hit, so all you really see is that sort of flailing. It's hard to go full force against a training partner without hurting them, but if you have a look at some of our other videos you see how we do full contact cane sparring, (with just a helmet and gloves), where body shots really hurt, and more defensive movements are required.
Kenpo Sean "Style" has little if anything to do in a real fight, just as your belt color doesn't mean nothing. It's all based on a person's will to win and warrior spirit. You can learn a million techniques and all it takes is one at right time to finish fight. It may not work for you because you have little understanding of how it works. As soon as a real fight happens technique goes out the window, if you are thinking of a technique your gonna throw you're gonna eat knucks. Martial artist aren't good fighters they're professor's with alot of theories. Maharlika kuntaw 5 yrs.
Kenpo Sean the trapping are for close quarter....in real fight, your opponent will attack you directly without footwork... everything is direct... unlike in sports or competition... people can freely use their footwork in sports and so they can easily evade...but in street fight, your opponent will fight your directly at close quarter.. This is where the trappings are effective... .. the mano mano is just similar to kick boxing too... the principles are the same....
Kenpo Sean If you are really training with Cacoy, or Jonh, the only feedback you need to know is to do exactly what they tell you to do. Don't be listening to a bunch of keyboard warriors on bashtube...
If you have to pick-up one thing from this video, it's this: Never, ever underestimate the mild-mannered nature of most old-timers. Especially in Cebu City (a known centre of FMA) of all places. It's one thing to just see it and think that it's two people flailing around, it's a whole different thing when you're on the receiving end of all those strikes. Saludo ko kang Manong.
I see many ignorant comments here. Of course to the uninitiated, it would seem like 2 guys slapping. In the same way that a pure bjj match would look like 2 guys hugging each other over an extended period of time. But for us martial artists, we can already count the number of hits the other guy got in eskrima, or in bjj who has control of the fight (even if he's the one on his back). Watch the eskrima episode of human weapon in history channel. You'd see when jason sparred with one of the eskrima fighters, it seems the fighter was just flailing his stick mindlessly but afterwards, jason is already filled with bruises while the eskrima fighter was scot-free
Negative comments only know basketball and MMA. but since basketball isn't effective in a street brawl they'll resort to MMA but since MMA is less effective in a knife fight what's next? Gun fight or Run right?
If this was slowed down you would truly see serious talent and unreal systems of defense and offence this was shit they did 600 plus years ago. I guess that why people comment the way they do., truth is some of the comments were funny and so original thanks for the laughs. Until its it slow motion it does look like two people trying to get out of the water when they jumped from an airplane and both got covered in the parachute panicking
I learnt few philipino arnis system from my Lima lama master a lot of years ago, I can witness that escrima is a real system and this two guys are very skilled, they could kill anyone in a matter of seconds, escrima is for survival not for bullshitting around.
Exactly thats why I have a gun, dont bring a knife to a gun fight, and guess what a gun could kill oyu in the matter of milliseconds with minimal effort
Just so a lot of you may or may not know, "eskrima or escrima" is not just stick fighting, it's also sword fighting. There are blades used and one is called the "kris". It's a wavy looking type of blade with a point at the tip as some of you already know. So let it be known that the word "escrima or eskrima" defined actually means "SKIRMISH" and not necessarily directed to only "sticks" used in the filipino arts.
@@talinhagaph7342 kali is a made up word fby us based escrima practitioners to validate it as an asian/filipino martial art. There’s no rootword for kali in the Filipino languages.
@@jrexx2841 kalis is a tagalog term and not mindanaoan or visayan. Like i said kali is a made up term by the diaspora Filipinos to denote arnis or escrima or arnis.
i am merely a neophyte at the art, and i am in absolute awe at the skill demonstrated here. anyone who discounts the phillipino arts does so from sheer ignorance-it is supremely effective in real combat
Wtf? there are a lot of ignorant people in the comments section. I've been training arnis, eskrima, and kali for 3 years, went to some tournaments, met a lot of good arnis players and these 2 dude in the video are really good. They are truly masters. I have played different styles of arnis and this eskrima stye might be just a child's play to you but it's really harder than you think. Eskrima was my first arnis style, and it was really a pain in the ass, i always got bruises and wounds after training. Then i switched to another style which we had pads, armor and go wild crazy about hitting the opponent. I'm live in the Philippines and the players from Cebu are the best, they fly, fast as lightning, and even has hidden techniques idk about. The point is, these masters know what they were doing, every move were reflexes. I tell you, when you get into a fight with these guys even without weapons, they'd still woop your ass.
The green guy is playing defense because Eskrima here in the Philippines is taught for defense. When i was training eskrima, everything i learned was defense, the offense were just all basic strikes but we mostly use defense in eskrima. In kali, we focus on offense, combo and dodging.
Never heared of or seen this before but the speed and control with which they moved was impressive. It is evident they have trained many many hours to reach this level of hand and eye coordination. These two men are dangerous no doubt.
Daniel Thompson eskrima is not about flash, it's about functionality in tight quarters. The whole design of it is for self and family defense in doorways or other locations where you were likely to be attacked in the Philippines back in the 1600's. It's about getting the first strike in and disabling your opponent as quick as possible . It is not flashy, it is functional.
It really is a shame drills like this seem to be kept out of the mainstream, this was truly an incredable display of technique and raw skill, the drill reminded me a lot of the Lap sau drill used in Wing Chun, beautiful to see in motion.
Looked like a whole lots of stick clashing and "playing" to me, rather than a concerted attack by either. Tho i have no doubt they are both highly skilled, and either one would have no problem disarming/beating "lesser" eskrima practitioners, the fact is, you don't need that level of training/skill to handle 99% of street attacks (unless you live in Cebu i guess ) You don't need to be a 6th Dan to be able to defend yourself. Martial arts expertise promotes humility and good character. So the guy who swings a club or knife at you in the street is less likely to be such an expert. BUT i appreciate the dilligence and superfluous skills high level instructors/Masters have, in ANY art.
That's right John and your one of only a few people who noticed or at least commented about it. And you didn't make a nasty comment to anyone else or slag off another persons Martial art!! Respect to you.
its in filipino martial arts and culture to play defense unless told to "hit me" or "hurt me" contrary to the ways of thinking and other martial arts that the object for sparring is to prove you can hurt the other....
chad mercado To play self-defense? Sorry but the way I was trained was combative and never "defensive". We labeled it as "self-defense" because you can use it that way, but the way it was taught to me out of a garage was combative, meaning when presented with a threat you respond with equal and/or greater force.
+Ito Ke (Kageookami) Brother as you said, in your system it is customary to always defend against your opponent by attacking with greater force. That in itself is self defense, you are using defensive moves to counter an opponents offensive moves. Defense is not just techniques that defend against your opponents techs, it is moving and acting so that your enemy is crushed before you utterly.
+Diamondback Eskrima it's actually does even in our town, we do Eskrima as part of our Culture and belief it's always defense, if you master defense you master offense as well, because you know when and where to attack.
this is so true...people recognize telegraphed moves as useful or the right move....i can see that most people in the comment section have no idea what they are talking about and if they think they can beat this old the are clearly ignorant and mistaken
I wonder what type of knife fight this would be. So close to each other and doing nothing. If it was a knife fight they would eventually die of blood loss since they kept touching each other's stick.
I meet some guys who knew the white guy, Greg Henderson when he was doorman at pubs in Christchurch NZ. From the stories they told, he's a legend. Taking on gangs and all kinds of hard men and beating them all. They could make a movie about that guys life.
TheDiamondProsGaming Good fighter! But sounds like those pubs were either very out of control or he was just a terrible bouncer. I worked the door with an ex MMA fighter years back. 6'5" 240lbs beast, loved to fight and got a lot of practice at the bar. I'm 5'10" 190 with zero martial arts background. I worked there 2 years without getting hurt or hurting anyone. Came close many times but I was always able to anticipate and deescalate situations before they got out of hand. Never had to lay a finger on any customer except to help them into a cab.
Many of you are in a privileged position, sitting in an air conditioned room, eating salami, commenting on a man who has practiced a lethal art since decades before you were born. One of these strikes landing can crack bone and rupture blood vessels, all from a 2ft length of wood in a space the size of a gas station restroom. That Grandmaster doesn't have a gym, dojo or whiskey endorsement. He learned on the street and from other masters like him. This art was used to fight against enemies with knives, swords AND guns. If he's close enough to extend his arm, you're in deep trouble. Go get your gun brave one. You'll need it.
i read these comments and it's pretty clear that a lot of people cannot see the difference between wild gesturing and controlled defensive and offensive moves. It's pretty sad
sweetswing1 Yeah I creeped- I thought "who is this opinionated person who speaks with such controversy? Maybe they speak the truth and the rest of the world has got it all wrong..." Turns out your just another shit talking troll, probably taking it out on the world that nobody took the time to show them how to be a socially likable human and without those skills they now live a cold, hard existence, worried that maybe their golf skills wont help them come the zombie apocalypse. Talking shit may get you the attention that you crave but it will never get you the respect.
hi Junior. I think its around 24-26 inches its a little longer than the usual 24 i guess. possibly 28 inches assuming the guy from diamond back is tall person. i find the stick a little longer than the usual. the stick length though differs depending on the style/system of eskrima. some use the 18-20, popular is the 24 , some use the 30inches.
Hi... filipino here.... Next time you visit here in the philippines... kindly try to visit Master Jaime Quizana ... He is considered here as one of the best in disarming techniques.. you can maybe played with him a live stick fight...
I think the conclusions I've come to will suffice. Seeing that there are no experts on the subject here with real experience. I think it's a reasonable assumption that this shit is bogus. I don't care man. This crap will get your ass handed to you by a real fighter.
Tom T. none of it is bogus. this is defense reflex training as well as stick fighting training. what looks like shits and giggles are well timed reactions to the others movement
***** it's called being skeptical. If you believe anything you are told and eat anything you are fed, then what does that make you. Perhaps you are eating shit too?
If you think this is slapping put the play speed to ×0.25 and you tell me they're slapping its just so quick you cant register much of there movements. Plus theyre like 60 haha
Another good comment as the Kiwi Grand Master is in his mid sixty's and the Filipino Grand Master I thinks is in mid 70s or older from what I remember when I was told about him. But don't quote me on that, I don't want to upset any of those guys, lol. Someone will put me right if I'm wrong. So respect your elders children, lol.
rou this was a fighting style that the Spaniards had outlawed because soldiers were getting beaten to death by locals. don't ever think you can't apply this to real life.
We've been using the art against each other looooonnnggg before the spañish came in the Philippines, we just choose not to fight and only a few did... That's the reason the Spanish banned the swords and the practice of the art and few practitioners continued the art by pretending it's a dance.
Wth man... if only people here supported this art more. Then maybe these guys don't have to live in such conditions. maybe... JUST MAYBE someone should go and create a "ufc" for this martial arts... (oh wait... people might actually die never mind)
We should be helping them anyway, regardless of the FMA. They are damn good people, and I would much rather see my tax dollars go to them, instead of ending up in the pockets of middle eastern dictators.
Damien Percy clearly you don't see it, ever heard the guy filming hit hit? those are hits, but ofcourse if you dont know how it works you will never gonna know,
it is an amazing demonstration of speed,control,and technique in such a close range. i bet most of the ignorant commenter will just hurt themselves if they do this.
when my girlfriend tries to snatch my phone when i get a message
lol me too
O Bi 😂😂😂😂😂
O Bi hahahahahaha
Paid The Iron Price who wins?
hahahahaha facts
I think what people forget to remember is that the Filipino grandmaster is 72! And he is still able to move very quickly in armed combat.
"he's playing defense! play offense"
*supreme grandmaster grandpa proceeds to disarm him right away*
Asking a senior grandmaster to play offense is reckless lmao
Kali offense is lethal and dangerous. It is originally intended to be use to kill.
How to know that a keyboard warrior doesn't know thing in the comments 101:
When he starts referencing guns in a martial arts debate
yup so truee
Insecure fools, they know they can not win against martial artists so they say something to feel less inferior
well it's true tho, a man whonhas trained in firearms for 10months will beat a man who has trained in blade fighting for 10years 9times out of ten.
Your fists should be used to fight your way to a knife, which can be used to fight your way to a pistol, that you can use to fight your way to a rifle - if you own anything more serious than that, and need to use it, you are using an area weapon.
The sad Part is some people in the comments are Filipinos insulting their own art.
Tis very sad right?
I admire my peepole
and what is the fucking art?
Hirap kasi walang alam sa sariling martial arts... saklap talaga
PUTANG INA MO!

so if they were fighting seriously with sticks, would the hits be strong enough to injure/knockout one of them?
@@Dave-mv1yk Yes, but both of them are aware of that stuff.
@@hihe530 so are there eskrima competitions where people fight seriously and knockouts/heavy hits can be seen just like in martial arts competitions?
I know this is late but watch dog brothers they spar with no protection only hands and head
Kali uses sticks for sparring but those sticks are portrayed as bolo/sword in real fights. Kali is not for sporting purposes it was created to kill and kill fast.
True Master's indicate their art by showing it. Both of these men are Master's notably because of their skill, but also because their not "hiding" their art. Beautiful stuff, this for me is the essence of martial arts.

Michael, what style of Escrima is this? Is this Balitok?
Looks silly but i can see what's going on. I'll end up in pieces if i went up against them in a sword fight. Pretty cool.
Well as some instructor of fma would say, fma is not about form but all about usefulness and results
Balintawak is taught in US special forces, which is mixed with Muay Thai and hand to hand combat with a knife.
And I know this from a friend who teaches it to them.
knife is much more easier to use tbh. Like that big sushi knife
Mainly its an exchange of drill if they really intend of doing offensive blows this will be ending fast.
why is gordon ramsay there

I'm sorry. But MMA fighters would win over an eskrimador in a bar brawl. Deadly weapons are prohibited in a bar.
Too much ignorance in here. Well ignorance is a bliss. Escrima is pretty useful in a hand to hand combat, or a knife fight.
Very useful especially in close quarters combat..
I agree brother....I am a Kali practioner here in Philippines.
I agree that eskrima/ Arnis / Kali can be a useful martial arts especially in combats on war.
bullshit they will be charging using all there weight pushing forward lol
Damn, who would've known I was a grandmaster everytime my siblings take the remote from me

Lol
Youngman lee i think hes a filipino

the biceps on that old man. and his reaction speed even though he seemed like he wasn't paying attention...... damn...... respect.
Just so a lot of you may or may not know, "eskrima or escrima" is not just stick fighting, it's also sword fighting. There are blades used and one is called the "kris". It's a wavy looking type of blade with a point at the tip as some of you already know. So let it be known that the word "escrima or eskrima" defined actually means "SKIRMISH" and not necessarily directed to only "sticks" used in the filipino arts.
Arnis is more into stick fighting, Escrima for sword, and Kali for knife, but what the heck, these three are interchangeable.
@@KenMikaze Arnis for LUZON, Eskrima (Escrima) for VISAYAS, Kali for MINDANAO
@@talinhagaph7342 kali is a made up word fby us based escrima practitioners to validate it as an asian/filipino martial art. There’s no rootword for kali in the Filipino languages.
@@KenMikaze The name Kali is most likely derived from the pre-Hispanic Filipino term for blades and fencing, Kalis
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalis
@@jrexx2841 kalis is a tagalog term and not mindanaoan or visayan. Like i said kali is a made up term by the diaspora Filipinos to denote arnis or escrima or arnis.
When they said play offense to supreme grandmaster, it's a hit hit hit in the stomach of that Australian master...
Yeah and with every parry theres a pommel strike to the ribs and sternum and a micro swing to the cranium.
i am merely a neophyte at the art, and i am in absolute awe at the skill demonstrated here.
anyone who discounts the phillipino arts does so from sheer ignorance-it is supremely effective in real combat
Wtf? there are a lot of ignorant people in the comments section. I've been training arnis, eskrima, and kali for 3 years, went to some tournaments, met a lot of good arnis players and these 2 dude in the video are really good. They are truly masters. I have played different styles of arnis and this eskrima stye might be just a child's play to you but it's really harder than you think. Eskrima was my first arnis style, and it was really a pain in the ass, i always got bruises and wounds after training. Then i switched to another style which we had pads, armor and go wild crazy about hitting the opponent. I'm live in the Philippines and the players from Cebu are the best, they fly, fast as lightning, and even has hidden techniques idk about. The point is, these masters know what they were doing, every move were reflexes. I tell you, when you get into a fight with these guys even without weapons, they'd still woop your ass.
The green guy is playing defense because Eskrima here in the Philippines is taught for defense. When i was training eskrima, everything i learned was defense, the offense were just all basic strikes but we mostly use defense in eskrima. In kali, we focus on offense, combo and dodging.
Never heared of or seen this before but the speed and control with which they moved was impressive. It is evident they have trained many many hours to reach this level of hand and eye coordination. These two men are dangerous no doubt.
A Kiwi grandmaster from Australia
visit philippines then.
Dane Mark Jo "they fly" lol
Grandmaster and supreme grandmaster.!... tf.. with that title I want to see a hadoken fireball. Hahaha😂😂😂😂
alex u hot
Alex Roger lol same.. almost click bait TBH. I was expecting some triple backflip spinning kicks
You'd think that her body temperature would actually be on the cool side with the amount of clothing she's wearing..
Daniel Thompson eskrima is not about flash, it's about functionality in tight quarters. The whole design of it is for self and family defense in doorways or other locations where you were likely to be attacked in the Philippines back in the 1600's.
It's about getting the first strike in and disabling your opponent as quick as possible . It is not flashy, it is functional.
Hahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha
It really is a shame drills like this seem to be kept out of the mainstream, this was truly an incredable display of technique and raw skill, the drill reminded me a lot of the Lap sau drill used in Wing Chun, beautiful to see in motion.
Tapi tapi and sticky hands are almost identical in principle. The one almost minor difference is tapi tapi is (usually) drilling vs an armed opponent.
People don't know how hard it is a hand to hand combat with stick. That'll get you hit everytime
Looked like a whole lots of stick clashing and "playing" to me, rather than a concerted attack by either. Tho i have no doubt they are both highly skilled, and either one would have no problem disarming/beating "lesser" eskrima practitioners, the fact is, you don't need that level of training/skill to handle 99% of street attacks (unless you live in Cebu i guess ) You don't need to be a 6th Dan to be able to defend yourself. Martial arts expertise promotes humility and good character. So the guy who swings a club or knife at you in the street is less likely to be such an expert. BUT i appreciate the dilligence and superfluous skills high level instructors/Masters have, in ANY art.
the old guy was actually sneaking small compact hits which just looks like random swinging to other viewers.
Correct!
No he just like slapping the dudes lover handers
That's right John and your one of only a few people who noticed or at least commented about it. And you didn't make a nasty comment to anyone else or slag off another persons Martial art!! Respect to you.
looked like me panicking trying to swat a bee
They be like "give me my stick back! it's my bamboo stick!"
that's not a bamboo stick... it's either rattan, kamagong, or bahi... (i don't know the english equivalent of the other two)
kamagong is an iron wood. My stick is bahi, a bit heavier and denser than rattan.
i find this interesting. its cool but strange to watch when you dont know what it really is.
if it was a real fight that filipino guy would've hit him many times when he says "play offense".
Gordon Ramsey doesn't look impressed
Lol
What did you expect? He's Gordon Ramsey, he's never impressed.
Allan Covarrubias wtf hahahahahaha
its in filipino martial arts and culture to play defense unless told to "hit me" or "hurt me" contrary to the ways of thinking and other martial arts that the object for sparring is to prove you can hurt the other....
This is a false assumption.
in eskrima offense is the best defense
chad mercado To play self-defense? Sorry but the way I was trained was combative and never "defensive". We labeled it as "self-defense" because you can use it that way, but the way it was taught to me out of a garage was combative, meaning when presented with a threat you respond with equal and/or greater force.
+Ito Ke (Kageookami) Brother as you said, in your system it is customary to always defend against your opponent by attacking with greater force. That in itself is self defense, you are using defensive moves to counter an opponents offensive moves. Defense is not just techniques that defend against your opponents techs, it is moving and acting so that your enemy is crushed before you utterly.
+Diamondback Eskrima it's actually does even in our town, we do Eskrima as part of our Culture and belief it's always defense, if you master defense you master offense as well, because you know when and where to attack.
Watching two masters have fun is very entertaining and rare. I can see both are smiling while sparing. thanks mate
No fancy studio, you have to come to their home to see the teacher and learn the old school way, love it! 😍
I don't understand the rude comments. Its always a please to watch a highly-skilled practitioner. Great video.
its a eskrima.. u can use this to a knife fight. to anyone said its useless, think twice.
this is so true...people recognize telegraphed moves as useful or the right move....i can see that most people in the comment section have no idea what they are talking about and if they think they can beat this old the are clearly ignorant and mistaken
John Doe they using sticks
Think twice indeed
You mean fap fight?
I wonder what type of knife fight this would be. So close to each other and doing nothing. If it was a knife fight they would eventually die of blood loss since they kept touching each other's stick.
Even his mates looked embarrassed.oh fucking hell here goes john again with his stick
I meet some guys who knew the white guy, Greg Henderson when he was doorman at pubs in Christchurch NZ. From the stories they told, he's a legend. Taking on gangs and all kinds of hard men and beating them all. They could make a movie about that guys life.
Roadhouse
TheDiamondProsGaming Good fighter! But sounds like those pubs were either very out of control or he was just a terrible bouncer. I worked the door with an ex MMA fighter years back. 6'5" 240lbs beast, loved to fight and got a lot of practice at the bar. I'm 5'10" 190 with zero martial arts background. I worked there 2 years without getting hurt or hurting anyone. Came close many times but I was always able to anticipate and deescalate situations before they got out of hand. Never had to lay a finger on any customer except to help them into a cab.
The white guy was lose in that fight with the filipino master he was disarmed twice.
just to be clear, they did not proceed with hits. both acknowledge when an opening was made.
FMA🤘
man that old dudes got mad skills
it takes talent just to know and actually see the skill they have.
Never seen a grandmasters anything wear a fanny pack..
Nick F in this fanny pack is shuriken stars 🤣😂
my son and nephew do this every morning
lol +1
OoCOLDasICEoO they're going to be some nijitsu jujitsu samurai masters in the future.
OoCOLDasICEoO Over the last pop tart?
That supreme grandmaster must be expensive asf
Many of you are in a privileged position, sitting in an air conditioned room, eating salami, commenting on a man who has practiced a lethal art since decades before you were born. One of these strikes landing can crack bone and rupture blood vessels, all from a 2ft length of wood in a space the size of a gas station restroom.
That Grandmaster doesn't have a gym, dojo or whiskey endorsement. He learned on the street and from other masters like him. This art was used to fight against enemies with knives, swords AND guns. If he's close enough to extend his arm, you're in deep trouble. Go get your gun brave one. You'll need it.
i read these comments and it's pretty clear that a lot of people cannot see the difference between wild gesturing and controlled defensive and offensive moves. It's pretty sad
TheMoguera jiikkk
Clearly the fanny pack gave him the edge.
What is the length of the stick you are using? Beautiful art and deadly!!
according to internet it sholud be between 24-28 inches
sweetswing1
hahaha go back to your golf you ignoramus
sweetswing1
Yeah I creeped- I thought "who is this opinionated person who speaks with such controversy? Maybe they speak the truth and the rest of the world has got it all wrong..." Turns out your just another shit talking troll, probably taking it out on the world that nobody took the time to show them how to be a socially likable human and without those skills they now live a cold, hard existence, worried that maybe their golf skills wont help them come the zombie apocalypse. Talking shit may get you the attention that you crave but it will never get you the respect.
here you go- here is some attention, have a fulfilling life
hi Junior. I think its around 24-26 inches its a little longer than the usual 24 i guess. possibly 28 inches assuming the guy from diamond back is tall person. i find the stick a little longer than the usual. the stick length though differs depending on the style/system of eskrima. some use the 18-20, popular is the 24 , some use the 30inches.
This is what I look like when I am driving and a spider happens to come down in front of my face
Imagine walking out of a bar drunk and seeing to grown men in an alley doing this.
so this is what goes on behind the scenes of a tire shop......
I fought like this in 1st grade, i never knew i was a grand master all this time
YellowChocolate Then you should go back to 1st grade with that ignorance.
Manhua with reincarnated mc authors: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!!
Very cool! I wish I knew more about it. I can tell it takes a lot of practice!
Ginger Adventurez anyone can do it, just be gay and call yourself a "grandmaster" this shit ain't gonna work in real life
But Eskrima/Kali/Arnis masters themselves knew that a real fight will last less than 10 seconds.
This comment section is full of people who haven't even held an Arnis stick.
Hi... filipino here.... Next time you visit here in the philippines... kindly try to visit Master Jaime Quizana ... He is considered here as one of the best in disarming techniques.. you can maybe played with him a live stick fight...
haloow win I want to visit some of the lady boys. Get like 3 of them. With a bottle of tequila locked in a hotel room. Yeee hawwwwwwwwwwwwww
Gilbert McCumhumphries Thailand have better lady boys though
truely fucking amazing!!!!......with age sometimes produce masters! this man is magic to watch!
carl marcelin Its really awesome.
If hes my grand father i will never make him angry..
dont ever ever try. ive been there. HAHA

grandmaster:"give me your stick!!!"supreme grandmaster:"no!you give me your stick!"grab grab!!!
When the special education teacher says only one of her students gets the fidget spinner
I saw this technique on "The Color Purple" , when
Whoopi Goldberg and her Sister Nettie were playing Maki Da Da.
IntrigueDynamite lmao
.....wow. 2:51
the best part.
Without an in depth explanation I can't help but raise. Bs on this.
Tom T.
I think the conclusions I've come to will suffice. Seeing that there are no experts on the subject here with real experience. I think it's a reasonable assumption that this shit is bogus. I don't care man. This crap will get your ass handed to you by a real fighter.
Tom T. none of it is bogus. this is defense reflex training as well as stick fighting training. what looks like shits and giggles are well timed reactions to the others movement
***** it's called being skeptical. If you believe anything you are told and eat anything you are fed, then what does that make you. Perhaps you are eating shit too?
where abouts are u folks training at? sydney?
Good video most people don't seem to understand the concept of this almost forgotten martial arts
looks like two lasses fighting over a handbag
They are both high level experts. Kali is easy to pick up like cycling. Should be cheap to start depends where you live.
Troll!
Did you even observe the surrounding? It was a tight space, no long range fighting nor footwork. Movements are minimal.
Randy TheRam your mom and grandmother
there gonna hurt themselves take them sticks away from them old crazy men
amen
memyselfandi they will beat your ass I bet
Gerrod Gerrod maybe your punk ass but no man can or ever will beat me punk 203 and 0
My wife in defensive mode! Oops, NOT! I don't have a wife.
Hamish McHarg probably because you're openly STILL saying "NOT!". Might wanna work on that. Lol jp
when your brother doesnt want to give you the remote controller.
When I show my dad a picture and he scrolls through my gallery.
If you think this is slapping put the play speed to ×0.25 and you tell me they're slapping its just so quick you cant register much of there movements. Plus theyre like 60 haha
Another good comment as the Kiwi Grand Master is in his mid sixty's and the Filipino Grand Master I thinks is in mid 70s or older from what I remember when I was told about him. But don't quote me on that, I don't want to upset any of those guys, lol. Someone will put me right if I'm wrong. So respect your elders children, lol.
Respect to both of you 👍
we proud our skills, we proud as Filipino not our corrupt government officials.
+Mario Flores Right on brother.
JustSome Dude just like us Americans, eh?
yay I found the vide again even with youtubes stupid search algorithm! nice video, thanks!
Low key thought that was Gordon Ramsay in the back corner there just snooping around for his next cooking video 😂
looks like two kids playing with sticks
People, PEOPLE! There are enough uniform sticks to go around, no need to slap fight.
Care to elaborate?
Close quarters ?
How this will benefit you in real combat?
Brandons Opinion UFC doesn't use weapons you dumbo!!!
rou this was a fighting style that the Spaniards had outlawed because soldiers were getting beaten to death by locals. don't ever think you can't apply this to real life.
Jason Diaz didn't you see I was replying to someone who said that eskrima isn't effective just because is not on UFC?!? U blind bro... that
Saito samuraiX I only seen hand to hand combat in boxing in a street fight.
but your fancy brazilian jiu jitsu wont save you from a knife wielding maniac. this will.
Looks like the type shit my kid and his friends do when they’re playing around
Didn’t know you were supposed to grab the blade in a “sword fight “. Now I know for a future reference.
All fun & games until one of them gets a splinter.
Looks like 2 guys that would get knocked out by me
joe mamma in a fistfight maybe but not weapon fight
joe mamma hahahaha. Direct me to a video of you fighting please.
anony man Escrima teaches hand to hand as well.
joe mamma wow scarry comment
You could die in one hit of that stick if you fight eskrima with him
AMAZING
Only if my boys founded this before we got attacked by Spaniards
We've been using the art against each other looooonnnggg before the spañish came in the Philippines, we just choose not to fight and only a few did... That's the reason the Spanish banned the swords and the practice of the art and few practitioners continued the art by pretending it's a dance.
glenn galarosa Woah that's cool
I came from Guro Dan Inosanto demo in Smithsonian, another GM Ernesto Berdin. Salamat Sir sa upload.
Try to play it in Playback Speed 0.25, then you'll understand.
The "art" 😂😂😂 loll
Wth man... if only people here supported this art more. Then maybe these guys don't have to live in such conditions. maybe... JUST MAYBE someone should go and create a "ufc" for this martial arts... (oh wait... people might actually die never mind)
We should be helping them anyway, regardless of the FMA. They are damn good people, and I would much rather see my tax dollars go to them, instead of ending up in the pockets of middle eastern dictators.
Eddie Steele Ty all. But knowing my countrymen. Pride is everything.
they do have WEKAF (world escrima kali arnis federation) competition where in the contestants are wearing armours, and use padded sticks.
plenty of opportunity to strike yet they dont. puzzling
not at all, they're not actually sparring, they're doing a training exercise.
Damien Percy clearly you don't see it, ever heard the guy filming hit hit? those are hits, but ofcourse if you dont know how it works you will never gonna know,
Lightning Aurora Chaos Oh.... Ok..... thanks for helping.
Some body will go to the hospital if those contact. Look at them as boxer don't wearing gloves right now. They r just sparing
Respect
Of true martial artist
And discipline
When you tryna block yo moma from whoopin yo ass wit the belt
it is an amazing demonstration of speed,control,and technique in such a close range. i bet most of the ignorant commenter will just hurt themselves if they do this.
