    Kali is not meant as a self defense unlike most martial arts nowadays, Kali is very aggressive and is more meant to kill rather than just incapacitate. That's why it's very rarely used in mma and more practiced by the military rather than an ordinary person.

    Filipino martial art is a deadly martial art. I honestly think this is one of many reasons it was not romanticized and being practiced/taught in a larger scale. It is not attached to any religion, philosophy but its an animal form of what humans can do with tools in order to kill. Tribes back then are head hunterers and the terrain is an endless jungle.

    Filipino Kali has lots of similarities with Indonesian Silat and Bokator from Cambodia.
    There´s a theory that all these styles originated from one common martial art, spread all over S. East Asia and then every region modified it and made their own version.
    Kali has become very popular in action movies, because it looks very "cinematic".
    For example, the sword fighting choreography in the last "Dune" movie is based mostly on Kali techniques, Netflix´s Daredevil used Kali stick fighting ( together with Indonesian Silat) and of course Bruce Lee showcased Kali in his movies, because his student, Daniel Inosanto is a Filipino Kali master.

    One thing I got from this is that it showed how versatile and flexible kali/arnis/escrima/FMA is as a martial arts. It's movements can easily flow from weapon's based attacks to open hand strikes, disarms, punches from close range, control distance with kicks, joint manipulation, it literally has all the skills and techniques needed in fighting at whatever scenario or predicament you're in. The skills acquired from this could easily translate from one form to another depending on the situation.

      It is relatively unknown because it wasn’t a martial arts that was intended to be taught publicly to just anyone. Back then even tribe/families all have different moves/variations taught in secret. There were no dojos or anything like that for it. Spanish colonization made it even more secretive and designed to be taught on a one on one basis.

      Historically speaking this started with the Spanish. The Spanish banned Filipinos from any kind of fighting culture. They banned them to own weapons, there was a law where if you had a blade with a sharp point it had to be cut square so you can't stab with it. Guns were banned to own. This in turn affected their colonies that got raided through pangayaw by the Moro. The Spanish made the Filipinos helpless because they know the same thing that could have helped them in defense can also be used against them.

    Jesse, what an amazing video!
    Two years passed and looking to all these comments + the knowledge you got while you were there, I think it would be amazing to dig this theme a little bit more, maybe just like you did in China with the roots of karate with Kung Fu. Karate obviously has some Kung Fu influences, even if it is only it's spirit, that Asian hard style, but maybe it really started from the other side of the globe, and that discover would be amazing!
    I can't think of anyone better than you to study this, and I wish that some day I can go to your seminars and maybe be able to learn a lot more with you, with real classes and so!
    I'll be hoping and waiting for more, but thank you very much for your content and every research you do and share, I hope you understand how important that is now and the difference that you're making in this world of martial arts for the future as well. Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹 🙌🏼🥋

    Kali is not a sport because it is use by the special forces and elite units of military from some countries in the world. Its sad that Kali is part of our culture and history but our government did not made some efforts to preserve it or keep it in our present culture now. We tend to learn Karate, Taekwondo, Kick Boxing, Muay Tai and other forms of martial art but we didn't know that we have one and it maybe the roots of those other forms of martial arts.

      Two of my Aikido and Aikijitsu partners decided to branch out to Wing Chun and Kali (one of my friends was half Filipino, half Dutch). The young man that taught the Kali was blindingly fast. I remember the sayings 'first in!' and 'don't try to hit the vitals that require long reaches, when the attacker moves on you, you disable the limb he has presented and eventually the fight ends because he hasn't got enough working limbs'. Ramel Espiritu (sp) was the teacher. I watched him show disarmed with sticks, bare hands, and flip knives. At slow speed, it was easy to see what was happening. At 75%, I could barely catch the move, and at 100% it was a blur which left my friends stinging and their stick or knife off on the ground somewhere. I have a LOT of respect for Kali and for Filipinos overall for so many reasons.

    I agree, the practice of martial arts was banned or forbidden by the colonizers (Spanish/Japanese) back in the day due to the fear of rebellion hence later on forgotten. There are still some living masters but they choose who to teach. One of Bruce Lee's training partners is a Filipino-American martial artist Daniel Arca Inosanto. Rumor has it that he even went to the Philippines to learn nunchucks.

    The thing with Kali, is historically, it was taught to outsiders a lot. As long as you were a friend of the family or trusted, you were taught.
    Traditionally in Karate and Kung fu, it was always "closed door", no outsiders.
    But like you have seen, due to trade between the nations in olden times, what worked, was cross pollinated. The technics that were applicable to real time combat, exists in all the systems.
    There is actually a big tie between Spanish fencing and Kali's espada y daga.

      They always talk about the connection between filipino twin sticks and rapier+dagger, but they are really different, the twin sticks system is symmetrical, both weapons can do the same things, while rapier and dagger is asymmetrical, the rapier is the main weapon and the dagger is just a support, and is totally optional, you can fight with rapier alone or use your cloak as a defense for the off hand.

      Some technique of Karate from Fujian Province in the south of China, Before the Han Dynasty, indigenous here had more similar funerals and DNA to people from Southeast Asian countries. And of course the indigenous merged with the Han people eventually. This can also be proved in linguistics, some Fujian dialect has a few words can not be found etymology from ancient Chinese, but those words can be found in Southeast Asian languages. I think it was the indigenous people who retained the ancient form of martial arts and were influenced by Shaolin Kung Fu and eventually formed the Southern Chinese Kung Fu.

    Welcome to the world of our Filipino Martial Arts. Your friend’s teacher, Grand Master Ernie Presas if one of the most important figure heads in our culture cause he and his brother Prof. Remy Presas were the ones who were able to spread the art by inserting it into the educuational curriculum of our nation. He is also a good friend of my Teacher. GM Presas travelled to Japan and stayed them for a long time. As i understand he learned karate and Kenjutsu there as well as him teaching. This is why as it is taught in the educational system of the Philippines are done in forms or katas called Anyo (meaning form in Filipino)
    The term Hubod (hoo-bod) is a Visayan (local dialect) that does mean entangle but it is spelled as Hubad. Though Hubad in the Tagalog dialect (more wisely used) does mean strip or get naked.
    What you got here was the real deal. Among other things, one of the most distinct difference bet FMA and other arts is that the art is taught with weapons first. Long weapons to be exact because that’s how you engage in a battle. You learn the shorter weapons and later on unarmed combat incase you loose or break your weapon, revert to your smaller back-up or worse, resort to disarming an opponent to survive or go unarmed combat. It’s good to see that he taught you how we Filipinos teach it.
    I’ve been watching a lot of your stuff as a FMA practitioner and teacher cause i see a lot of parallelisms of FMA and Karate. It’s good to see you see the same.
    Pugay!
    (Praise and Honor!)

      @tobygenato8707 3 роки тому +34

      @@sopwithcamelus You’re welcome. One must remember that the Philippine culture is a blade culture much like most of our South-East Asians neighbors. As such, the use of sticks as weapons came very late with in the 17th-18th century. The stick as we know it now (dimensions and all) were actually a walking cane, the Spanish term Baston or Cane, which every gentleman from the lowest farmer to the elite always carried. The use of sticks was that more recent as well as the incorporations of Espada y Daga or Sword and Dagger which was an adaptation from Spanish Destreza (swordplay). According to oral tradition (which was the only way the art was taught, unfortunately). The art was taught through need. If spears were available, they studied spears first. If the tribe was rich enough to buy armor and shields, they would do that too. This is probably one of the reasons why the weapons vary so much from region to region through-out the archipelago while maintaining a specific trade mark for the blades, the curved/hook pommel, reminiscent of a bird’s beak. Bathala’s bird who watched over the actions of men...as so the myth tells.
