Sikaran is a Filipino Martial Arts still practiced to this day. I am even teaching them in our channel. It originated in Baras, Rizal in the Philippines which started of as a typical game or sport of the farmers even before the Spaniards came. And now being recognized globally. Our aim is to propagate Sikaran all over the world. It has its own distinctive fighting technique and art.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Good luck show it to the world.
SIKARAN tagyak ang ibig sabihin sa bisaya😂🤣😂😂🤣😂😂😂🤣
Sikaran it means bisayan words po iyan sir how come the words of sikaran maging tagalog po e tagalog po nang sikaran ay tagyakan/sipain diba po...

The downside of being friendly ☹️ Filipinos are so trusting, it’s been exploited again and again.
I don’t understand why we’ve been so recently historically friendly.i honestly think our outward fighting spirit has been slowly tamed through centuries of colonialism. We can argue this is for the better or for the worse. The will of the Filipino to fight isn’t lost, but the ancient knowledge of how we used to fight is

soo true.
@@man2medianista228 We dont have the same blood. We have different tribes that submitted to a white man named phillip of spain. The black people call theirs coons. I am of my tribe ...
"They kill the knowledge"
And now, sadly, us Filipinos are slowly forgetting who we truly are
But at least we are still to proud to be Filipino instead of saying that we lost
@@code066funkinbird3 Knowledge brother, History teaches you about the error of the past. The knowledge and identity is what he meant. I have seen filipino teens nowadays with low reading comprehension, disinterested in understanding filipino history and being addicted to foreign products. Its also our fault why they dumbed down, so we must change for the better.
@@vincebautista4849 freedom is everything but?
@@vincebautista4849 yeah but how?
I'm a Filipino but I don't support the k oppa except anime and loves to be loyal I can be proud on our homeland and more but not judging by its looks of others
I already seen enough about Filipino martial arts called Kali
I don't even care IF Karate is from Japan or Philippines either
Or if was started in orikinima or China or something like that
Sorry for my grammars
@@vincebautista4849 like
having a hair dye?
I mean what wrong with having a foreign products or any high technology or even a luxury for a business or more? Does part is turning away our pride?
There a tagalog, Illocano, muslim even more but when it comes in internet tagalog are mostly here on the Philippine
This is why as an Indian, I love Philippines and the people so much
Oh my ... That is more than just martial artists gone. That's generations of knowledge and experience passed down from master to disciple, the constant struggle to achieve the pinnacle, everything from the progenitors of the styles... just gone. Literally an erasing of an entire timeline of history.
Thats how the worl works,ordinary tend to not know the core secrets of the world just be happy browsing through the internet and leave may time capsules to warn the next era to come what we become today...
The knowledge that must have been lost. Family styles, styles with only one carrying master. Unbelievable. Myself being a Filipino veteran and a follower of your channel for a long time GN. I would love to see more on this. Specially with Dan Inosanto and Diana I could literally listen to them talk about how ice melted in the Philippines. GJ
iim am a fil am and martial artial . and arnis practiciner. but also want to learn native warrior styes like sibat at kalasag. spear and shield
Japanese merchants were already in the Philippines in the 17 and 18th century already integrate as businessmen and had families with them and the children acquired the knowledge of martial arts and brought it to Japan and managed to showcase and improved.
Also, when the Emperor of China invited the King of Sulu, he was so impressed how skillful the natives were in handling weapons and their capabilities of sharp targets.
This makes me so unbelievably sad knowing this. In terms of war, the Japanese knew how to hit us the hardest, and that was taking away our ability to fight.
"They kill the knowledge" hit me so much, it really makes me sad:( because as we can see right now there's a lot of changes we as a Filipino.
i would really like to see something longer on this
Yes pls
That's what she said........sorry, couldn't help myself 😅
OHHH GOD, NEVER KNEW THAT HAPPENED. ITS SO SAD THAT OUR FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTIST PERISHED FOR BEING TOO FRIENDLY.
And still Japan says SHOTOKAN-KARATE originated from Okinawa. When in fact we originally call it SUNTUKAN, from "suntok" meaning punch or mostly used in reference to a closed fist or hand combat or empty hands leading to "HUBAD" or bare/naked, which is initially the form of training knife and sticks (arnis) but without knife and sticks. They STOLE the idea and OWN it for them.
Ok but the samurai preceded this Filipino incident, and the Japanese Samurai had a highly sophisticated system of fighting, involving much unarmed combat for when they might lose their weapons, evidence of it's effectiveness in modern day Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which originated from Japanese Jiu Jitsu, stemming from Samurai fighting techniques.... Why would they need to steal any other martial art? Unless the samurai ways were wiped out and new ignorant soldiers had never trained in ancient samurai way? I'm just postulating here, I'm no expert but still I think it's a valid point, something to think about.
@@Artesian_mirage Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is more likely for show btw.
The history and knowledge will never die it’s in our DNA Filipino Martial Arts will live on.
Especially the way how we use arnis
Filipinos are a lovely kind people.... the angels are watching....
Thanks inosanto family ....
Thank you for Sharing this Lost Treasure of Knowledge about the Ancient Filipino Warriors!!!
Awesome and yes!!! Diana you make Danny so very proud! Thank you and thank you to your family!
Thank you for sharing this story Diana-Guro Dan and your family have so much knowledge and otherwise hidden historical events that is Filipinos have experienced. It’s is truly amazing on how Well read he is in on Filippino culture.
Same in Indonesia, especially in Mandor, west Kalimantan. More than 21.000 peoples were slaughter; many of them are intelectuals and martial arts masters.
They did similar things in Korea too and destroyed their traditional martial arts as well.
@Ghalileo Vladimir Abdullah nobody said you lost all of them.
@Ghalileo Vladimir Abdullah They never lost it Dude! Eskrima still lives!
@Ghalileo Vladimir Abdullah What was lost was a SHIP FULL OF FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS EXPERTS.
@@MaharlikaAWA korean has taekwondo
@si Markeyan Only few people knew it probably because the technique is being kept secret against the Spaniards during colonization. They prohibit the practice of the art. The technique is being thought in backyard with close family members.
I just learned something new today, this hit me hard.. I was born back home but grew up here in the U.S., for me to just find out now that means no one's talking about it. We're forgetting our past/history.. My Grandfather "Lolo" taught me Kali when I was younger before i came to America. I can't help but wonder how much knowledge we've lost, how much it probably changed, is it the same Art, style, and technique as our Ancestors knew n' practiced?
Wow what a tragic story. Thanks for sharing part of my cultural history.
Heartbreaking to think of the knowledge and culture that was lost on that one ship.
First time i heard this. It was troubling.
That's amazing story. ...I never know that before & very sad.
When is the full video coming out?
This revelation is new for me. Thank you sharing. I hope Guro Dan Inosanto and family would visit the Philippines and all the FMA dojos in Manila, Bagiuo, Cebu, Panay and Mindanao.
I hope so too. It is very unlikely though.
Imagine how much was lost during spanish invasion
Probably majority of our culture, which the Spaniards banned because it was "barbaric", threat to their presence, and bad as stated in the bible. For instance, the Tattoos which signifies the social status of Filipino warriors, the Spanish colonizers outright demonized it because as the bible stated, Leviticus 19:28, “You shall not make gashes in your flesh for the dead, or incise any marks on yourselves.” Before the Spaniards "discovered" the Philippines, the natives already has a system of fighting and blade culture. They used it defend themselves against the other tribes and against Chinese and Moro Pirates that was prevalent pre-colonial times.
Another forgotten Filipino culture was the sophisticated genital jewelries. Guess what, the Spanish missionaries were horrified and called it an abomination. LOL
The land of the Samurai is now the land of Anime and porn TV.
Welcome to democracy
And the combination of both 😂
this days philippines military train Filipino martial arts called Kali, Kali is not used in sports because it's too lethal and there are some martial artist in the world teach Kali for self defense
This is to remind us how cruel the Japanese was but most Filipinos forgotten this
I lived in the Phillipines for 2 years and was amazed that few knew what the Japanese had done during ww2.
@@alexanderbrown4250 Japanese either lost against The USA
@@code066funkinbird3 of course they lost to the usa. I was responding to the person who wrote about filipinos forgetting the atrocities commuted by the Japanese against filipinos. I'm sure that some of the Americans were pretty horrible too. Filipinos don't realize that the symbols on the Mitsubishis they buy represent airplane propellors. Mitsubishi made the airplanes used to destroy cities in the Philippines. Look at the Mitsubishi logo-3 diamonds, like the propeller on a zero. Same with BMW and Mercedes. They made the airplanes that bombed European cities.
@@alexanderbrown4250 Filipinos before was muslim but we Counld realise before in our blood
That no matter what the difference of colors or attitudes. Pride or without pride
As long as to as proud to be Filipino
Because filipino males see japanese porn and all of a sudden they forget how monstrous japan was to our ancestors
Somewhere out there I know that someone is mastering the art of Kali and I know its still on top
Thank you for this history lesson. It's sad that Japan took away our Kali Martial Arts, made it their own and renamed it Karate.
Heart cries out for justice
The Lord said vengence is to him and He will recompence...
Thank you for keeping this truth alive.
🙏Maraming pong salamat sa bidiyo na ito. 🇵🇭
Magistrate! Much respect for your representation and skill!
the knowledge and wisdom of the traditional Filipino martial arts is unique and is embedded to every Filipinos' DNA...
so sad.. in my bloodline seeking for a missing history
The another reason why they destroyed them is because Filipino marital arts are one of the deadliest martial arts
very true the deadliest martial arts lol.
this is the reason why you will see Filipino martial arts movements or techniques in karate. Karate actually originated from Filipino martial arts.
The daughter of great grand master of filipino martial arts who taught Bruce Lee how to use arnis.
There is an old saying that:
"No matter how much they destroy knowledge there will always be a man that will learn it by heart not by the ways that someone taught them but he taught to himself by trial and error and through the experiences of one's life"
We should practice and love FMA and it will live forever... All thanks to our ancient grandmasters❤
It's not lost..the art has been passed on to the Japanese Masters..What they can do is give it back to the Filipinos where they originally belong to pay back what their ancestors took from the Philippines..This is a sad story indeed but because of the generosity the Filipinos have many benefited from it. This lost knowledge that we Filipinos have should be given back and teach the younger generations the essence of culture and heritage.
Many people in Japan don't know what the motions their katas are used for, but Kali masters can explain what they are for.
Then it's time to bring this back. Teach the new generation. Incorporate this in P.E curriculum. Never too late.
Can I ask something where did they get those info? Can you provide us an specific book or any reference not coming from any modern day FMA practitioner. I mean when I say modern, people practicing fma at the present including from those masters and grandmasters that are still alive and those recently pass away. It would be more interesting if it is coming from a foreign historian.
We would love to see and learn more about this. I hope there's a documentary film about this.
This is so so sad. If only we could turn back time and be able to reserve our culture, our heritage our identity.
I know the old "kali" from my grandfather and his father and his fathers father. He fought in the war also
He told me "kali is used for disarming, defending, and kiling without mercy"
I've been watching a lot of documentary lately and I strongly agree that our ancestors developed that kind of technique and form of martial arts because we don't have advanced and sophisticated weapons that the infidels and colonizers used and heavily relied upon. It's a form of survival to them that deemed necessary. Too many civilians and not too many men who can readily fight so our ancestors developed and used unconventional and unorthodox method to fight the war and to defend our motherland. They also used guerilla tactics, anything that takes the enemy by surprise because there's no way they can defeat them in an old fashion and orthodox way. The Americans used it too in the time of the first US President George Washington against the British army.
Still preserve culture still preserve
So I checked this story out with my teachers, as many were upset that someone would come up with this tall tale to begin with.
At first someone said that the Inosanto's could have gotten their story mixed up with the time Tokyo canceled their Olympic martial arts event when they found out that some of the Philippinos who were going to compete were once assassinators of the Japanese during the war. However, there is no public record of this. It's something that was rumored in the Philipines. And the event was merely canceled. No one was killed.
Either way, the story makes no sense. If all the great master's died, who taught the Inosanto's their art? Did they make up this story to make it look as if they are the only true masters? That would be a pretty low marketing ploy, especially since they make the great Philipino fighters out to be hapless victims. So great masters such as Angel Cabales and Tatang Illustrisimo who were undefeated or feared vigilantes and lived on to teach well into their 90s count for nothing? Daniel Inosanto asked to train with these men, though they never ordained him a master under their system, like they did my teacher. Not that anything is wrong with this. I understand that some people prefer to practice with many teachers and create their own method rather than master one style, but don't make yourself out to be the ONLY master and disrespect those who gave you that knowledge.
My father know's arnise and used to fight in tournaments to the death. He was a frightening man. If the art died with the Japanese, who taught him?
Here are some other points made by my teachers and myself:
1.) Eskrima was underground and not taught or shown to the public until the 1960s!! Everyone kept it so secret their kids didn't even know about it sometimes! The whole teaching to the public and having open competitions didn't pop-up until Bruce Lee came around and made martial arts cool. So how was anyone going to "observe" this martial art, let alone convince someone to show it? If you were "shown it", most likely you were on the receiving end of it, and therefore dead. Before Bruce Lee, few martial artists taught to nationalities other than their own. Bigotry was still rife and why would someone teach it to their enemy?
2.) There are as many styles as there are islands in the Philippines... Danny wrote a book about a few big names (and a few fakes) all of which were still alive in the mid to late 90's... The Verdugos (Illustrisimo, Dizon, Villabrea, and several other badasses) were famous for fighting the Japanese and still alive in the 90's. The South, where a lot of the legendary badasses learned their arts, boast to this day that they have never been conquered by a foreign invader... So what "Masters" were wiped out?
3.) Everyone is extremely bitter about what the Japanese did during the war... There are books, movies, and oral stories passed down by the old folks, detailing every atrocity that the Japanese committed. So why is this event never mentioned? You can look up the death marches, and the babies being thrown onto bayonets, but nothing about martial artists being killed on a boat.

I do not know if the Japanese did this.
But
If they did, the joke was on them.
Because
Filipino Warriors were 16 year old
children who did not get killed, or
crippled during training.
They may have killed the trainers
But
They did not kill the training.
not all masters were called. some were in the jungles
Thank you for sharing our history and our culture. MABUHAY ANG ATING MGA KABABAYANG SUMASARIWA SA ATING KASAYSAYAN

Past is past.. damage has been done.. I as a Filipino.. don't hold grudges on Japanese people..we've been exploited, used and abused but then again we still forgive those atrocities..
Wow. Good to know. Thank you very much Ms. Inosanto. Yes, Filipinos are very trusting. Back in the day, the Japanese were very calculating and treacherous. They saw life as a zero sum game, i.e., they win and everyone else must lose. Thank God that their military was defeated along with that kind of thinking. The defanging of the Japanese military is the best thing that could have happened to Japan because now they are an industrial behemoth due to the redirecting of their martial instincts to much more peaceful pursuits. I hope that their martial instincts never get resurrected ever again because that would be a huge problem for the rest of the world. Japan is now a shining example to the rest of the world of civility and order. God bless them and God bless the Filipino people.
They might killed those Filipino martial art masters but being a Filipino the blood of being warriors is always there and it will come out when it need it
Strong countries really don't want our country become strong country because Filipinos are different in a battlefield and if Marcos didn't take down by strong countries I think no one can bully us anymore
Marcos stole from us and caused us to grow slower than our neighboring countries. Stop being so dumb.

@@alvinsmith3894 Hahaha, what an ignorant person. This is so sad.
I never heard of this since I took up hoplology in my college days. Was this just a hearsay? Word of mouth? How reliable is this story? I need citations.
they did that in china too, read ip man story.
Any kinds of info told/given to public are controlled.. most Countries.. certain informations or things..are not written in history books.. some countries/colleges/Universities/schools even ban certain books. .(not allowed) communications of any form is key..
In ancient times..for Islanders only form is through word of mouth.. until they learned to read and write.. that’s another story 😊
Wow..
Yes, I would like to see a full documentary on this.
They probably took the information to make their own martial arts and call it Karate
Fakta sebenarnya, katanya, bahwa para pejuang philipines sebelumnya adalah kesatria dan pejuang-pejuang muslim dari penjajahan spanyol hingga Portugis ? Mereka petarung eskrima dan kali yang mumpuni di zamannya
0:20 right here, I knew exactly where this story was going. So tragic.
Had no idea. Very happy my grandfather showed me old ways.
Seriously, the cultural mind-set of pre and wartime Japan was supreamacist, and is only exceeded by an IS level Jihadi.
Moral reletavism is not just a crock, it's evil.
This is amazing, but sad. The people who destroyed the ship, did they know the martial artists were on it? :(
That ship mightve been sunk by an Allied vessel... well never truly know
Hope the students they left behind can transmit the art
They did. They trained what would be US Special Forces in H2H and CQB.
Guess what Filipinos are back stronger and with more knowledge than what was lost. With a very solid base, it allows forever evolving styles depending on the opponents.
our master kali. killed in the sea,i salute our ancestors who are brave and defend our countrty Philippines. 😍😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thankyou from Alaska History Repeats
this isn’t true, it’s a story. This is not recorded anywhere in Philippine history. Dan Inosanto, God bless him, he is trying to promote arnis/eskrima/kali to a worldwide audience and instill Filipino pride but as a natural born Filipino and having grown up there I can tell you this is simply a story and not real history of Filipino Martial Arts. Mahilig lang talaga mag kwento lol
À new light on history.....for me.
These are our O.G.'s ; youngsta's better recognise! .•°○●Respect●○•‧.
My life has gotten destroyed several times because I tried to help someone.......never again , most people just don't have a sense of personal honor even those who you would think should, now I simply don't have friends not for at least six years now and that's how it has to be ,you just can't really trust anyone anymore
Filipino, Dayak & Malay are close brother.. Not forgetting other indigenous people of SEA..
The b&w picture of the three warrior tribesman are Indonesian not Filipino... they’re Nias warriors.
Diana Lee was great as the Magistrate in The Mandalorian.. That beskar spear.. FMA needs to have more exposure in popular video streaming like Netflix.. Malungkot na kabanata ang nangyari sa atin sa kamay ng mga Hapon noon.
Yes that's very true but some of the province they have knowledge of martial arts specielly hunting close combat techniques in northern part of luzon in mountainous part has thier blade martial Arts they we're known hunting head but they were civilize today but the old culture remains in them.We the blood of warrior our great great grand father teaches us to be a humble warrior a peace maker we have different tribes in philippines but in the past they respect each other.
See filifinos are great in everything they do whether be it in marts arts or talent from famous boxers to talented singers and dancers they have great personalities too... they we're the most friendly people but don't mess with them. They won't back down when pushed.
If Arnis/kali/eskrima was preserved thru generations, I wonder what type of martial art was lost during that time? I feel sorry the knowledge of those martial artist were not preserved.
Arnis/Kali/Eskrima are the same, btw we have so many martial arts here in the PH. Di mo lang alam kasi yung tatlong yan lang ang sikat.
I heard that it heppened in indonesia as well, many old masters have been murdered. The fact to destry the culture is damn true. Especially burning books, old biblios, etc.. i know something ever in my land
Karipas Takbó ang aming iwas sanggalang ( in B Lees’ words ,’fight without fighting’)
SAD :( Crying :( :(
Me too
I would like see a full documentary on this..
Let's share this history in other country to know that kali martial arts is to philippines not to them...
We lost our culture because of being friendly so sad
we want more pls.
Sources anywhere?
Most of history is unwritten, my friend. If you asked your grandmother about her own life story, she probably won't give you a source, except her own word.
The Filipino American FMA community mostly creates their own history. LOL
No historical source, aka probably partially true'ish at best or a complete made up lie at worst. Anyone who has been involved in FMA for long enough will tell you that the propaganda and back stabbing (pun intended) is deep, very very deep. Lies, legends, half truths, propaganda, jealousy (lots and lots of jealousy) and mysticism, is in infested in the FMA community's. But of course it is , we are talking about tribal warfare after all. The Filipino culture and people are awesome, and their arts are amazing, but the propaganda is thick. I would like to have a source for this as well.
I'm Filipino here in my country and semi-retired from FMA. You hit the nail on the head with everything you just said!
If you are dumb, you would ask these kinds of questions.
That explains why Eskrima has so much similarity with Karate
We have Eskrima and karate
Nah eskrima is both influenced by Chinese martial arts
its in my bucket list as a fil am to live in the pines for some years and learn the native warrior arts , i have already practice modern arnis, but i want to learn how our ancesters fought with spear and sheild.
Go cebu
Also imagine what the Spaniards erased in our history for being here for 300+ years. May be not only martial arts, but our whole cultural identity. "Philippines" should not be the name of the country in the first place.
If possible on my country to bring back Martial arts and add it to our school as a subject ..
Greetings from Venezuela, I have to be honest. I discovered Kali/Eskrima recently and I think some ideas from the Spanish Fencing are within the style, like the influence of the traditional style of the country.
I have a list of every country I want to visit in Asia, The Philippines is one of the top. And I know how merciless was the Japanese Army during the late 19 century and the 20 century, but it's time to move on. Well some people in Latin America still cry from what happens during 1492 but forget about everything about the cup of Hugo Chávez to name something more close to our date
well, Arnis, Kali, eskrima, sundangan, Kampilan, Panantukan, Sikaran are still Present
suntukan, upakan, bugbugan, tadyakan and hampasan are still present to this day onward..even the young kids today know of it all.
@@iyasujtee have heard of those, but I don't think those are official FMAs, however, suntukan is another name for panantukan
Kali a martial arts originated in Bisaya, kali was not lost in Bisaya but they lkeep it secret.
Many styles.
Ima try my best to find atleast any knowledge of the art. Even if it means going to japan.

This is so sad..
Could we get more historical references to this (Documents/évidences)? Do you have the name of the ship? The name of the teachers? The year of this “cultural” event ?It’s quite difficult to believe in the context of WWII in the Philippines when almost all country was in resistance...Japanese army was more interested by petrol, food, raw materials for industrial arm production than knowledge to fight with hands...
Same us Malay(Melayu) we dnt know our true history we just know the history that make by western the false history, when people talk about nusantara people I know this is my people, we are great long time ago
The winner is the king while the loser is vilified...What sad me the most is many of us does'nt share the same sentiments towards the invader and colonialist.We've been glorifying the fact that we lost our roots of knowledge and history,and everything we know about the Phillipines is been lies that invader taught us.I dont know what to say anymore Filipinos lives slaves forever until someone or somebody saves us.
Lesson learned.
I knew it, they copied kali and named it Karate. The resemblance between the two martial art's is actually baffling to be honest, I noticed this since I was still addicted to action movie's.
Different design of Kali from the Philippines, Kali is from different culture in the Philippines, fighting tribes against tribe's before the Spaniards discovered the Philippines.
