The beauty in these stick tactics, is that the instruction is very clear, and the video exhibits both genders equally in action as well. During certain time periods in the Philippines, many of the women were well trained in close quarter combat tactics, and also, led the men in many battles. Very effective & refreshing material. Looking forward to seeing even more follow-up vids. Regal Regards, JW Networks/CEO
If appears. that you're Serrada is water down and the fundamentals are not done correctly. But your enthusiasm is awesome. If you would like to develop your Cabales Serrada escrima further, why don't you contact the real Grandmaster Vincent Cabales in Stockton, California?
Because I already trained with the best Serrada teacher around in GM Tibon - why would I settle for less? And the fundamentals are fine thanks - unless you are a politically motivated dipshit of course
Although I am biased, Sifu Jays instruction is less fluff , more stuff. You don't have to wait for the meat and potatoes as with other instructors. Its there.
we always trained in a way that if you were Kate with your block you got hit. Surprisingly no one was ever late! the great thing about practicing fma is that you really develop your focus. no one zones out.
Hmm, if you look closely at his stick, theres some tape around the 2/3 part of the stick from where he is holding it. Thats the precussion point, the point where most energy would be transferred,
Don't you feel a bit uncertain about your moves given that it only seems to be practiced as a staic 'one-step' type drill? I am a FMA practitioner and it's always been a puzzling aspect. IOW, nobody attacks and leaves their arm out there in space. They always use 'stemless' blows. Thanks for posting!
Hey Badge! Remember when you first learn to throw that angle 1 to 12? The numbers are so confusing ..you can't remember the order and so you keep practicing...then you add the footwork and its gets worse...live hand too? Aaargh!! But eventually it all makes sense and begins to become visceral Same principle here This is called "basic" for a reason, because it's the foundation pieces of the style...when the sticks get faster so do you and eventually you abandon the pattern and just go where you need to be Thanks for watching
@@HAVOCJKD you're right. at first you dont know how you're going to renembercanythingbthen one day your body just KNOWS what to do. I've hadvthecexperiencecwhere I've stopped doing karate for a time and when I've come back my previous skills were deteriorated some what with the fma that never happens I pick up the stick and my body remembers.

From every fma video I watched over the years I chunked down to balintawak, pkt, serrada. But I don't know which one to pick and learn. It's confusing. What's the most direct, the most applicable in concepts and techniques, combative wise. If I have a pragmatic straightforward mentality that understands wt/jkd principles let's say...
All are good assuming the teacher is, and you will benefit from any one you study. I will be biased in saying Serrada of course, but as I am also a Senior Instructor in JKD that may be because it blends so well with that art on terms of the base concepts and ideas
Ali, serrada is definitely a great way to start. It’s easier to understand the concept especially because it involves all three components (stick, knives, & open hand). I promise you could never go wrong starting with serrada escrima first. Happy Learning 😁
Hey guys, thanks for posting! I really enjoying the focusing on stick fighting from you guys. Aside from getting really pumped and wanting to try this out, I have to wonder: if this style (Krav Maga, Filipino fighting arts, etc.) looks so effective and is taught to military and law enforcement, how come it is not showed in the ring. I’ve never seen the move last shown in the video in an mma fight. What do you guys think?
Hey Aaron, thanks for watching! I was an LEO for 20 years in the UK and Canada and used to teach my colleagues as well as external. A lot if the techniques shown are not taught to general LE as they require constant practice and the schedule does not allow extrapolation on such a scale. However, as the batons are typically Serrada stick length the art is a natural to adopt As for the MMA point, it is a yes/no - you have seen it, as it is an Americana variation. You just may not have seen it from this set up. I am an active Catch Wrestler too, and the arts are not either/or choices, they are simply complimentary tools for given situations
It looks good and all but I would love to test the waters to see how realistic this could be and would it really work be helpful when dealing with a opponent that has a weapon as such as that.
Hey Fox, It's a great question and one that every practioner of every art should ask of themselves and of their training. This is a very, very, brief intro to some of the concepts of the style - if you look back to the beginning the first thing I start with is the strike making contact. This can be 1% or 100% power as you see fit...but before one can run one has to learn to walk Thanks for watching!

"...the inherent simplicity and efficiency" - the exact same reason I latched onto Serrada!

Your "assistant" looks great with dark hair! : )

Everything useful is simple!
I use the 20 inch version. For me, the 20 inch version has alot of versatility.

Not sure that's tape. I think it's a noded stick and it's the node you can see.
@@havocuk correct!

@@HAVOCJKD yes I was guessing serrada or balintawak from what I see and try to dissect. Thank you🙏🏻

What size and thickness stick is best for serrada
The stick is measured against the practitioner - measure from your armpit to the crease of your wrist. Thickness is personal preference.
Yeah it’s pretty clear that stick is not being extended out when she does that angle one strike and your doing that pass.

Fox Sailor you should explore the art more there is some really good stuff in it!
