3 Basic Tri-V attack combinations and 16 Count Form
The single stick you guys use for Kali. What is it? Can I sue a hanbo?
Of course. The "kali stick" can be a stand in for a short sword or hardwood stick. A hanbo would be fine though you would have to adjust the range just a bit.
@@BlackbirdTrainingGroup how much would you recommend?
@@whateverwhatever4476 It really depends on how strong you are and how heavy your sticks are. We are using 30ish inch sticks here, but I have fought guys who use 36" sticks, but if you aren't used to the weight I'd start lighter and build up. Try light rattan and build length and thickness over time. Going too heavy too fast is a great way to give yourself tendonitis.
What type of stick are you using?
I think this are inch and quarter rattan, we got them from Franks Supply.
Another great video, Lamont. BTW, when your hands are spaced wide, do you ever play with the double palms-down grip, holding your hands like a boxer? I use that sometimes instead of the one palm up/other palm down grip when closer-in to generate short power. Got the habit from Renee Latosa (who also boxed). Then I worked with a guy who had Pekiti in his background, and he moved a lot like you. I'll look for you back on MT. -Geezer
Sorry for the late reply, we call that "staff grip" for obvious reasons. Personally I spend most of my time in "spear grip" and I don't seem to transition to staff very easily. Even when I get into a mid-range where staff grip should be of benefit I don't transition to it, which may not be a good thing. ua-cam.com/video/5-xmewNsDMk/v-deo.html
Thank 😊
Thanks for sharing. But I just don’t understand why “Tri V” is even a concept. Just some basic combinations that can occur depending on situation. Nothing new that is not already in the doce methodos. I just don’t see the value in this as a separate concept.
Tri-V is more than just basic combinations, it is a conceptual approach to the system. The basic combinations shown here are literally the baby steps as you enter the system. I can't explain it here but watch this interview and see if it helps. (and everything in Tri-V is contained in Doce Methodos, but again more conceptual.) ua-cam.com/video/jP1DsYGIrE4/v-deo.htmlsi=5CqndDGfV6fbO-GD&t=848
@@BlackbirdTrainingGroup Thanks for the link. Perhaps i am still missing something to me I learn all the three components mentioned as part of the application of the doce methodos. You cannot apply anything without footwork, bridging, and weapon manipulation. I don’t know the history as to why Tri V is even a separate concept.
@@gegaoli Sorry, I didn't get back to you. Again, think conceptual approach to the same material, a reformulation of the curriculum. This is really a question to GT as he was the guy who decided the change was important. It is important to note that even the senior practitioners can't agree on what the "12 Methods" are, so there are some fundamental issues of curriculum even defining what Doce Methodos entails.
Tri-V was designed for military to train quickly as they dont have time to learn the classical forms of pekiti tirsia. With Tri-V they can leave a seminar with something that is useful on the battlefield
@@YOURMATD Thank you. So back to my original point…it seems more like a condensed subset of material from the source (doce methodos) presented for that audience to take away some core skills.
Thanks for this. Seems a great product and a good value besides. How long have you been training and sparring in these? I like that they have made improvements on those inserts over time, and it looks like they're offering other color options now, too.
I think we got our first set two years ago, and have gotten two batches since then.
Lose that damn pony-tail, son! get a hair cut!
Thanks for the review guys. This is Gary- I run Manticore Forge. Ill make sure that there biggest voices will fit in the next iteration. I thought we designed the ginunting guards large enough for clam shells- the next ones will be for sure. Stay tuned for the sansibar and the kampilan!
Vulpins make excellent HDPE trainers of every type you can imagine
Yes they do, but it isn't steel and can't replicate the look, sound, and feel.
Lower deflection from thrust is called Pawaas, not a low 4 wall.
Don't care, one is in English and the other isn't. If it is mechanically and conceptually the same we are going to call it the same.
@@BlackbirdTrainingGroup wait what ? You cared enough to use the terminology for payong. Guess you can be as selective as you like. Right? Why use any terminology..
@@thecitadelcombatarena414 I don't even use "payong" most of the time, I usually use "roof" because it works better with my "house" analogy with walls and a roof. I don't claim to know the language and I don't pretend to teach the culture, I can teach you to fight.
What's the type of steel? And temper? What the advantages VS aluminium?
No idea on the type of steel. Whatever it is it is pretty hard to resist deformation and this maker has been using it on HEMA swords for years now so whatever it is it has held up well over time. The advantage over aluminum is that hardness, I stopped using aluminum years ago in favor of polymer because of the dangers of burring from impacts and that you had to check and file your blades after every bout. The other usual advantage is that steel is better at flexing than aluminum and returning back to true, these short blades don't have great flex so we don't see that advantage in this case.
The high guards go for about 150, and you can probably get the supfen knockoffs of the black nights for 180
I hate to suggest anything I haven't tried.
@@BlackbirdTrainingGroup That's fair. The xiphoshuras are in my opinion, the most protective glove on the market. I legit feel nothing with tournament-intensity longsword strikes when I've worn one
For the ginuntings you probably want to use the Gabriels, Thokks or High Guard gloves
Thanks guys!! My K-I-L pair is full of holes now and I've been looking for options, never considered lacrosse before because we don't really have the sport in my country. Really clear and concise review!
Hey great to see something new from you guys 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
More to come!
amazing content. been wondering about hand protection for a while and was curious but couldn't find much on actual input, especially on things that are not "Sparring" gloves. so thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Lamont Glass for making this video for me. I have been practice this way for 2yrs. Takes quite a bit of time to get it. I like it a lot because I can generate a lot of force without a wide swing. I can practice in hallway and other confined area using this. There's no way to make a single hand swing this compact. For competitions where there's a lot of space and no furniture around, swinging wild is not an issue. But in real life on the street or in restaurants, you have people, table and chairs around, I just cannot see single hand swing wild can work. Thanks Lamont Alan
I am glad this worked for you!
Is this for Salsa dancing? How much is it for full lessons? I have a dance in April!
Never give a sword to a man who can't dance....
@@BlackbirdTrainingGroup That's what she said!
Just stumbled across this lesson and really enjoyed it. Smart tactics.
Very nicely explained ❤ Keep it up!❤❤❤
Looked more like a grappling match with no knives involved. More like twigs which reqlly doeant give u an accurate idea.
It is tough to tell because they both are able to dance around and we have no idea what kinda damage eqch strike would of done with all the flailing
А в ру сегменте есть подобное?
Sorry, just saw this. I have no idea. But honestly it is probably simpler to go with a HEMA specific gear set at this point.
Amazing lesson here thank you 🙏🏽
Way to go Scott! I heard that contact 😂
Good footwork from Khaki pants- he seems aware that his bladed stance and lunges encourage his opponent to circle to his left side and he's primed with backhands as they move into that angle, as well as using it to set up his leg shots. Addidas adapts well but doesn't look to have developed cutting off the ring yet
Nice! I miss training and sparring
He did more talking than actually demonstrating 😒
Not Tri V but Huego Tudo and Huego Tirada.
Fascinating. I haven't seen this 16 count form before. Can you tell me where you learnt it from? Also thank you for sharing 🙏
Sorry for the super late reply. I learned it from Tim Waid or GT back in 2004 or so.
Conclusions?
You don’t teach catch by whipping a ball at first . You toss it then you up intensity . I don’t know how your taught or teach but it looks unproductive . Maybe start with something organized . Use drills that build awareness / footwork is also important . Check out some of the old cold steel or even Lameco footwork js good to start . None of this was available when I was younger but now there are endless videos that show real encounters - Carl Atienza and his brothers replicate the encounters and break them down .. just my 2 cents … stay safe . Thanks for sharing and creating the awareness

❤ класс!
So good! Thanks! 😁😈

HOWDY from TEXAS!!!
I searched youtube for Randy Spear. How did I end up here??
I was told by my instructor these exercises were designed to get Your body accustomed to MOVING Not to be used in a “How do I apply this specific step in combat“
When I do Carranza I often pick an aspect that I’d like to emphasize for instance I may emphasize the five attacks in one session in another Redondo strikes in another Avanico I’m so on and so forth
Carranza shadowbox with the stick. You automatically make the proper connections with your upper and lower body if you do what shadowboxing does namely, visualize an opponent who is attacking counterattacking and defending against your stripes.Use your imagination even if you have to plan out sequences of various strikes. Fortunately in my style They are prearranged striking and defending Patterns that you can use already
Trying to find one of these backplates but they're out stock everywhere
Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any for two years now.
Nice.
You can also use the break in/break out to set up a watik strike.
Good point, and honestly I probably don't use witiks enough.
Powerful !
Thank you master 🙏
Excellent Sparring Sir 🙏🏽
It’s been to long, great to see what you’ve been working on, thank you for sharing and inspiring
