  • @geu6270
    @geu6270 4 роки тому +1

    Amazing video sifu, thank you very much! By far the quickest way I have ever seen to learn Sinawali.
    One consideration that was a bit confusing. Initially said was forehand, backhand, forehand (that snaps back under to backhand chambered position.) But then you said forehand follow-thru, backhand follow-thru, snap-backhand.
    Semantics but initially it was confusing because the last motion seems to be upper forehand with the snap back to the backhand position as the other arm just articulates a small amount and retracts to the upper forehand chambered position. Regardless it makes it so easy to get started on flowing to all different variations without really having to mess up the flow with breaking up the motions.

  • @elnacho5131
    @elnacho5131 Рік тому

    YES! The 3rd motion (forehand that RETRACTS) is the KEY to make everything flow onto the 4th, 5th & 6th motions. Of course it is also key on the 6th motion to keep on going. May I suggest that the 1st motion would ideally block your attacker's incoming weapon. The 2nd motion would then break the wrist or forearm that your attacker is using to hold his/her weapon. The 3rd motion would then either target your attacker's head or neck or other arm. RETRACTING would then place you in the position to defend against your attacker from the opposite direction, in case he/she wishes to continue getting hurt. Maraming Salamat po! Thank you very much sir!

    Minus the fancy stuff, Kali/Arnis is one of those practical Martial arts which you can use in the street. You never know when you're gonna get a stick or a knife for a weapon.

    • @KaptainCanuck
      @KaptainCanuck 5 років тому +1

      Filipino arts are from the street except the knife aspect witch was around long before the US Marines invaded the Philippines. As I have heard, the marines sparred the Filipinos, using the standard boxing techniques of the time, and kept on losing to the natives. The boxing style we now see, with the hands tucked in near the face and body, is said (by the Inosantos) to have come from the Filipino arts due to the fact that that is the way their fighting was developed: keep the hands in and away from blades.

      BUT I have done a lot of martial arts before which improves your ability to learn body movements rapidly.
      So a random of the street with no martial training may take 2-3 times as long to get it. Not talking about expertise or mastery - that is a decade of doing it. But to learn the basics so you can drill with a partner as Stefan is doing at the end of the video is not a major challenge.

    @trumplostlol3007 2 роки тому

    When you first see this fighting style, it looks like it is very difficult to defend against. But, no it is easy to defend against. You basically have three strikes from the same direction in a row. Then it changes to three strikes from the other direction. Say you strike my left side three times first. Then strike my right side three times next. I will circle around your blind side where you launch your first strike. I will keep my pressure on just that side. I also use two sticks. I don't strike one stick at a time. I use two sticks simultaneously, one for blocking/diverting and the other one for striking. I don't have much arm movements. I use my wrists, some sideward movements and my footwork, instead. That's why I will always be faster. I use some Wing Chun Baa Jaam Do techniques that most Wing Chun practitioners don't know how to use. BTW, your footwork is always much more important than your hand work when it comes to fighting. Do you play badminton? Have you seen people playing badminton?

      I think this one's a bit different from the kung fu forms and katas that he normally dislikes since this is a weapon-based martial art. Kali "forms" are usually sets of moves, like a simple jab-jab-hook combo in boxing. Plus, with a pair of sticks, a single swing can either be used as a block or used as a strike.
