i did vee jitsu when i was in college about 10 years ago and to this day i have never forgotten it this type of martial arts becomes apart of you the techniques and very natural no katas..
Vee is for Professor Visitaian(sP) who passed away a few years ago. Shihan David James is the the grandmaster of Vee-Arnis-Jitsu arm of Professor Visitaian's martial art.
Professor David James has been in the Martial Arts for almost that long. He has tested all of his techniques on the streets of NYC. If you would like to try him for yourself go to NYC and look him up. Who knows you might even be impressed.
Prof. Vee siad it best..."There are different types of law...business law, criminal law, civil law...but you are still practicing law. That is why I have so many styles and heirs. " He basically has many heirs that did their own thing and he developed his styles and at certian points in his life, he evolved, while still keeping the old stuff valid.All respect to Prof. Vee and all of his heirs! Osu!
Vee Arnis Jitsu was founded by Florendo Visitacion or Professor Vee, hence the Vee Arnis Jitsu. It is a phillipino art. Arnis, or kali is stick fighting and the tecniques in most phillipino martial arts use similar movements for both. If you have the choice, give up your wallet. If not, Vee Arnis with David James is a good start. I would trust it more than Krav Maga, mostly because I don't have any idea where to find a credible instructor. Good stuff here though. Keep training guys.
He may be the most senior student, but Professpr Vee gave the Vee-Arnis-Jitsu branch to David James. There are other branches of the Late Professor Vee's organization out there like Vee Jitsu Arnis Te system, Veejitsu Ryu, Vee Jitsu '55, Visitacion Kuntao, Vee Jitsu '65, Vee Jitsu Ryu Jiujitsu. Who is your father then? You are making claims, now you need to back them up.
I agree. What many of these videos don't address is the mental part. A strong mind and a will to survive can make up for a lack of ability. A strong mind with little ability is better than a weak mind with much ability. You don't have to win a street fight, just survive.
these are just basic drills to sharpen your tecniques and motor skills. remember that any thing in motion tends to stay in motion. for every action there is a reaction.i can tell you from experience in training and real live situations they do work...
It's a movement drill kids. Vee Arnis is the most expanse and versitile fighting system. For anyone who has worked on knife defense there is no easy way to the secure the weapon.
His attacks look good. Very realistic! One thing I don't like about the response is they deflect and then set up again to defend against another attack. Maybe this is just a deflection practice session. But, after the initial deflection there should be some kind of follow up control.
Not a bad movie. He brings it forward that if someone attacks you with a knife, you will get cut. Not many instructors do that. The circular motion is good also, although I would always follow up with a lock, knock out... like he did at the end of the movie. One of the best DVDs I think, although a real instructor is still better.
True. I carry my buck knife w/ me as well. But you still need to consider what happens if you for whatever reason don't have a knife on you or your opponent disarms you.
Usually if a guy talks to you when he pointing a knife at you,he really don't want to hurt you its a mindgame he's trying to punk you.However like you said most guys will cut you without a word.
hi guys, that means "Vee" is the name of the founder of this system ? or for what it´s stand for ? this combination looks very interessting. Never stop training ;>
Interesting... what was up with the drill at about 6:30? Were those dudes wearing rastafarian colored belts? And why weren't they taking the knives away? I would have taken that SOB away immediately.... and to think aikido takes so much flack on youtube!
i am a professional medic one knife stab doesnt cause u to bleed to death instantly it makes u shock so is 1 knife cut the first knife cut would cause u to lose and die..
This may be no joke ... bUT WHY DEFEND CONSTANTLY ... NO AGGRESSION . There needs to be an end . Defend then protect and finish , cut or not . Or it is just a game .
why on why oh why are they blocking a knife attack with the FRONT of the hands and forearms - you know the bit of your arm where you have tendons, big ass arteries close to the surface? Surely better to expose as little to serious injury as possible?
i just want to make it clear there is footwork in vee arnis jitsu... its call triangular steping... instead of dissing and talking a bunch of nonsence this is for the doubters why don't take a training class. it just might change your mind, remember this is self defence plain and simple...
hell yeah, I've given myself cuts on my buck knife and it slices right through, you don't even know until you start bleeding like crazy. Anyway, VERY TRUE, you cannot watch a couple of videos and know it all, you need at the very least to practice like the guys in the video.
@Brendon26 Just like 'vvvnewcreation' below who swears up and down he's a true VA student under that other guy you talk about...watch his video as he demonstrates his 'VAJ' against a bodybuilder throwing hi kicks from 15 feet away until he finaly grapples and does a simple rear trip then sits on the guys chest and slaps him. This has nothing to do with Prof V's VAJ system of principals of self defense at all.
If you see what they are doing. They aren't deflecting the blade with their hand or anything. They are actually deflecting at the area of the attacker's wrist, causing them not to be cut. If you would watch instead of supering out you're arrogance, that would be better.
I agree that these dudes would get stabbed and cut, I would "look elsewhere." In a knife fight you will always get cut and/or stabbed unless you have a gun, telescoping baton, etc.
what im trying to do is convince people that watching a few knife defense videos on youtube will do more harm than good. NEVER think that you can disarm a knife wielding maniac. if its life or death, choose life, give it a shot fight for survival. but for real, dont watch a few self defense videos and think that you cant be cut. i dont care how tough you are, you are soft as butter when it comes to a knife fight!
I am sorry you have been so misled. Professor David James is the only person that is the head of the Vee-Arnis-Jitsu arm of the Late great Professor Florendo M. Visitacion, anyone else out there climing that is a fraud. And you are being duped.
Hell, I just don't know what to say. Why would someone drill students UNDER STRESS when they lack ANY SOUND TECHNIQUES!?! This type of drill can be useful, but only in controlled situations when attackers will be attacking with their trainers along paths that the student has drilled defenses for. These guys look like beginner knife defenders & beginning knife users.
if the enemies got a kinfie ur gonna get hurt. no question about it. if u r lucky and good fighter then u can get it off em easily but its usually just a good idea to run like the clappers and call for mommy :p hehe
I know that everyone starts somewhere, but these guys are too inexperienced to be stress tested. It almost seems like they're trying to make it a workout, too. Mostly I see a teacher trying to look impressive against the backdrop of his students' inexperience. JMHO.

Yes it is. Professor Vee passed away a few years ago and Shihan David James took over the Vee-Arnis-Jitsu system.
Go to NY city and tell him yourself. This is only a portion of his instructional video series, it includes 9 volumes. David James is the real deal.
I have been fortunate to train with Professor David James at one of is seminar he is no joke.

yeah i want to see more of them it's great
Those are Master Level Belts. They signify their skill level in the martial arts.

thank's for the clarification, I've never seen those before.

odds r most ppl use the front stab or jb rather then a slice back and forth. also one main thing is keep plenty of space between u and the attacker.

do u have a link to a 10 scale knife drill if so i would like to see.
Thank you I am a terrible speller.
hi guys,
that means "Vee" is the name of the founder of this system ? or for what it´s stand for ?
this combination looks very interessting. Never stop training ;>

You say fighting should be a last resort, well what do you do in the middle of your last resort? Thats why they teach this.
This may be no joke ... bUT WHY DEFEND CONSTANTLY ... NO AGGRESSION . There needs to be an end . Defend then protect and finish , cut or not . Or it is just a game .
intense!
We have a saying in Kali.Even some of the best knife fighters donates blood.Chances are you will get cut at some point.
why on why oh why are they blocking a knife attack with the FRONT of the hands and forearms - you know the bit of your arm where you have tendons, big ass arteries close to the surface?
Surely better to expose as little to serious injury as possible?

"Visitacion"
I agree that these dudes would get stabbed and cut, I would "look elsewhere." In a knife fight you will always get cut and/or stabbed unless you have a gun, telescoping baton, etc.
you just do not have a clue
what im trying to do is convince people that watching a few knife defense videos on youtube will do more harm than good.
NEVER think that you can disarm a knife wielding maniac. if its life or death, choose life, give it a shot fight for survival. but for real, dont watch a few self defense videos and think that you cant be cut. i dont care how tough you are, you are soft as butter when it comes to a knife fight!
I am sorry you have been so misled. Professor David James is the only person that is the head of the Vee-Arnis-Jitsu arm of the Late great Professor Florendo M. Visitacion, anyone else out there climing that is a fraud. And you are being duped.
pause at 9 35 u can see he let go of the knife leading to get stabed in the back or side XD
Hell, I just don't know what to say. Why would someone drill students UNDER STRESS when they lack ANY SOUND TECHNIQUES!?! This type of drill can be useful, but only in controlled situations when attackers will be attacking with their trainers along paths that the student has drilled defenses for.

i thought we were watching for entertainment...
if the enemies got a kinfie ur gonna get hurt. no question about it. if u r lucky and good fighter then u can get it off em easily but its usually just a good idea to run like the clappers and call for mommy :p hehe
