Yep :-)

I don't know much about Tekken, but in the origins of Savate they would attach nails and razors to the edge of their boots - so the game is being fairly accurate.

Thank you for the positive feedback!

Thank you for taking the time to comment :-)

Thank you, my friend :-)

The positive feedback is appreciated. Thank you.

Hey, as always I appreciate people taking the time to comment. I do sense a trend here that you enjoy commenting on my weight and conditioning. I am overweight and not in great shape - the same does not apply to the late Professor Salem Assli. He was highly trained and skilled and in his 60s in this video.

@@toronto_Savate-and-JKD . That's only because I myself have become old, fat and overweight, and I hate it. But regardless the late professor Aslii was so good because in his youth, he dedicated so much time to physical conditioning. And I believe despite of age, that this could also be accomplished again. Calisthenics and weight training is the key, and old supplements also, hormone replacement therapy is such a thing and we all should be demanding it!

I appreciate you taking the time to comment - but the comment is vague. Would you care to elaborate as to what you find "sad"?

I appreciate you taking the time to comment. We are working on a fundamental combination series from the Jun Fan Gung Fu progression - the high kicks are just a challenge for training. The O'ou Tek series is ABC (Attack By Combination) from the JKD 5 ways of attack.

Yeah, evasion is always a good option - but blocking can be disruptive and open different lines. The drill was presented with evasions but they decided to experiment with some blocking ideas. Both are good tools.

Yep, that's 2008 - she's even better now :-)

Thank you for taking the time to comment. The positive feedback is very much appreciated.

I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Sometimes the stick is just a stick. I'm not confused. This is pretty standard material from the Inosanto Lacoste blend system. I'm also not particularly concerned with being "unrealistic" as we practice these drills for coordination and fun - where we live real life doesn't include stick & dagger or sword & dagger confrontations.

:-)

Hey, thanks for taking the time to comment. The title of the video is "STICK & Knife" so, though the stick often represents a blade it is also sometimes just a stick. If you give me a time reference for the "flourishy waddling" I'll try to answer. We practice these drills for coordination and fun more than anything.

flourishes are used in anyo but for this case those movements were strikes, they didn’t make contact and weren’t full force cause they don’t need to be for a demonstration/drill. and side note, flourishes do look cool but are sometimes also functional in kali. in a sport/art/combat system that focuses on armed stick combat, flourishes can be effective for defense by making areas not worth hitting by adding the risk of getting hit and also for distancing which can be seen in a wide variety of media that utilizes knife combat

Hey, thanks for taking the time to comment. Is it Kali in general or just my presentation of this drill that you find to be "nonsese"?

You are quite ignorant. This is Savate, not Muay Thai. A different sport. There are also some interesting matches between Savate and Muay Thai practitioners, and there are some who compete in both. Also, and more importantly, Professor Salem Assli was a full instructor in Muay Thai under Arjahn Chai Sirisute and quite skilled in the art - it just isn't what he is showing here.

Thank you, Sifu! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and the positive feedback.

@@toronto_Savate-and-JKD You're welcome. Just wish I had more time to watch all of them. Good night.

I appreciate you taking the time to comment with such constructive criticism. Yes, I am overweight. Thanks for watching :-)

Thank you, I appreciate the positive comment!

Thank you very much for watching and for your positive comment.

Thank you, Sifu! If you go look at the video clip from your last seminar you'll see an old student of yours commented.

Thanks for the comment. Scott is running through some JKD entries to chokes. Bruce Lee's curriculum from back in the 60's. What is your issue with the material presented?

@@toronto_Savate-and-JKD The material presented is completely impractical, and would absolutely never work without a willing training partner just standing there, letting Scott first hit him, and then choke him. Skilled fighters don't throw jabs flat footed, and then leave the jab fully extended for their adversary to block, then parry, and then strike, and then choke. Completely unrealistic demonstration. Unskilled, raging adversaries throw wild haymakers and are completely unpredictable. There is no way Scott's technique does anything effective in this situation either. Practical and highly functional would be keeping distance so neither skilled nor unskilled opponent is able to hit Scott. Give the training partner a pair of 16 oz boxing gloves and tell him to take Scott's head off and don't hold back... let's see Scott perform under those conditions.

@@agreat8745 Let me start by thanking you for taking the time to give a detailed reply. Now, there is a difference between "fighting", "sparring", and "drilling". What is going on in this video is not the first two - where your comments would have more validity. This isn't even drilling, this is just walking through the material, after having seen it presented once, just so that we could record it. Scott is a highly trained tactical officer with a huge background in martial arts, who has likely had more real world experience than most people. He has also competed as part of team Canada in the Savate World Championships, and has sparred and grappled with resisting opponents. This just isn't that.

I'll let him know about your comment, I'm sure he'll appreciate it. We generally have him in for a seminar once a year (sometimes more often).

Appreciate the positive feedback, thank you!

I appreciate your taking the time to comment, thank you.

Most of the techniques translate to empty hand, or empty hand vs stick. Mostly we practice for coordination and enjoyment.

@toronto_Savate-and-JKD I'm just being silly. All training is good training so long as its not bullshito

no, it's in case you misspell in case

@@skipskiperton4992 so they're spelling sticks?

@@crashthecat yes, but as effective as they are, you are still going to need a tutor

:-)

Thanks!

Thanks! It was a long time ago, but they were some really good times and people.

Thank you! That is the plan :-)

Ha, thanks Sifu :-)

Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the video! :-)

Thanks!

Thanks!

Hey, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Saying never get your leg caught is like saying never get punched in the face. You can say it all you like, but that doesn't mean it won't happen...and when it does you best have done some training in how to deal with it.

I'm just under 240lbs in this video - yes, I'm overweight. I also miss having hair, but little I can do about that. In this video I'm running through a Panantukan, or Filipino Boxing, counter from the Jab / Cross. I'm also just under 6' tall, and once again there is little I can do about that. We understand these techniques are not guaranteed. They are just ideas and options. Thanks for the comment.

Thank you, she will appreciate the positive feedback. My instructor always said she was much better than me and should be teaching.

He is in his 70's.

...and would have been around 60 in this video I think.

@@toronto_Savate-and-JKD great, I use to train with a student of his and attend one of Dr Jopets seminars. Great teacher.

She is a great kicker with excellent control.

Thanks for the positive vibe!

Excellent!

Hi, I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I certainly can't argue about being overweight and out of shape, it is pretty clear that I am. I might be a better instructor if I managed to lose some weight, but I don't agree that I'm a bad one (though there are many better).

@@toronto_Savate-and-JKD I have to disagree, because even if you are a heavier set man that does not impact your ability to teach and do martial arts. Regardless of the times that I have been skinny or heavyset most of everything remain the same. A lot of people like to criticize over the Internet, but they probably cannot do better than you can do.

@@jm7578 I appreciate the support, thank you.

Thank you for the comment. The Professor's 2nd Fouette in combination was often harder than the first. Chasse to Fouette and Fouette to Chasse are basic combos in Savate. Having been on the receiving end I can assure there is no reason to think the 2nd Fouette would lack power. The shoe makes a big difference as well.

@@toronto_Savate-and-JKD i believe you but it's just i lack power when doing doing a double round kick which would be the kickboxing version but round kick to sidekick its a lot easier for me to deliver two powerful kicks because I can twist the hip only halfway like a sanda round kick first and do the rest of the twist when applying the sidekick..we do train on double sidekick's but I thought that's only meant for musical form's which we has to do in graduations when you get passed the second blue belt..(yes in wako we do have graduations and belt's alao in the previous system taken from sport's karate we also had the same even same colors but fewer belt's because it was only one of each..i never really trained savate only visited savate club's together with with the kickboxing club for friendly exchange of knowledge and friendly sparring mark fights and exhibition,it was two week's the last time but two weeks sounds very short but when training together twice a day it feels longer.. anyways thanks for the reply

😀

The Professor was amazing and is greatly missed.

Thanks! Always appreciate the positive feedback.

The Professor was certainly as fluid and flexible as many ballet dancers.

I don't think we see double stick hubud very often. I learned it first as part of the Integral Combat System from the late Dale Johns. It would be a few years before I would see it again and that would be from Tuhon Ray Dionaldo of FCS Kali (Filipino Combat Systems). It is one of my fav flow drills.
