It seems filipinos want to bring the old sword arts back into the fold. There is a growing interest in the usage of kampilan and kalis. Maybe the presence of competitors like HEMA played a big role in that considering the first HEMA reconstructionists often came from an arnis background.
Well. GM Giron used the art in the jungles of the Philippines during WWII fighting against Japanese soldiers. How close would you have to be in the so-called chaos of "Real Combat"?
@@essene3695: u tell me. Since u think giron fought like this. Did he fight hand to hand w a bolo against d japanese who had swords??? I dont think so. How did he fight so close?? I hav fought in jungle warfare in Nam & against guerillas in SEA. This fighting w blades being exchanged back & forth so close is unrealistic. Hav u tried it w real blades???
@@aidenfisher5679 Well. If we didn't experience it ourselves, we couldn't understand how you fought in Vietnam. Just like you not experiencing how GM Giron fought against the Japanese. You wouldn't understand. GM Giron being part of 978th Signal Corp. Besides all his gear, he had is Bolo & a 36' Talonasan Blade. Which you probably have not wield such a weapon. Fighting in a 3 Man Triangle Formation, which you probably don't understand how that works. Anyhow, it's getting late. I gotta get up in the morning. You have a good rest of your day, sir. And thank you for your Service.
Nice concepts

Northern style! 😎
talunasan.. that is its proper name. the fighting blade of the Ilocanos..all linear strikes,no thrusting..just cutting,
How did you end up with that sword and not his son?
Smh
Unrealistic drills. U will never get that close in real combat. Try it w shortened foam swimming noodles.
