Philippine Martial arts focuses on disabling the enemy at the shortest time with the minimum number of hits. Which is why it is not mainly practiced for showmanship.

He specializes in Filipino weapons and martial arts. So yeah, he would go ham. When he wields a karambit or Ginunting, sign your will. Especially if he uses it to defend himself.
Many see Kali/Escrima and say 'cool, dual sticks martial arts', without realizing the sticks are for practice, and they are actually meant to wield these blades.

As a Filipino,when i saw " ginunting, I clicked. This is our weapon in Negros island Philippines, " ginunting" consist of two blades" espada y daga" literally means a" sword and dagger. It's like fighting a two person at the same time. My father love ginunting so much. Miss him 😭
I'm Filipino but this is the first time I heard Ginunting... Should've studied Filipino deeper when I was in school before... This is new information to me..
the real question is what the heck did that guy do for the phone company that he needed a special knife!? Sounds like some aggressive sales techniques.
It’s so cool to see Mr. Salisbury (Bryan) on here. When I was 6, he was the leader of a local Junior Archery league that I shot at (along with my cousins and some friends as well). He was always so cool, the league was never the same after he left. He used to bring his blacksmith catalogue for people to look through, me and my friend always laughed at this toilet paper holder that he had in it. So glad to see he made it this far.
The Ginunting was developed out of necessity: battles with rebels tended to bog down into melee fights and rebels in the Southern Philippines were *proficient* with swords while the average soldier was not. This led to unfortunate incidents of soldiers being killed and beheaded by rebels in the 90s. The Ginunting and a swordsmanship program was introduced by the Philippine Marines as a response- leading to a drop in incidents of beheading out in the field.
We Filipinos have sword( Itak, Sundang and etc.) in our household. This deadly weapons are mostly used for weeding and cutting woods now. It became a multi-purpose sword.
Thats why i am also afraid if one Filipino in provinces holds these weapons because small grudges wanting them to kill a man / woman, i saw a guy slashing himself with an Itak, during daylight, chasing his wife to come home with him, there was a news about a guy beheading a woman, and a literally news about cut hands and feet roaming around in our city...
@@ocdguyhere3465it's quite common to see people going around with "sundang" or "lagaraw" or "garab" in the provinces. But slashing incidents are so rare that there are more shooting incidents instead of the other way around. So caution is understandable but no need to be overly afraid being in close proximity to these folks...
Since the show is called forged in fiire, I request you guys to show a little more of the forging process please! That's the main attraction of the show!
These close competitions with equally competent smiths are my favorite. I mean there's some entertainment to be had when there's a catastrophic failure, but seeing a game of inches play out is very exciting.
Man the second Chris's blades made it through the strength test with no damage =O Edge damage is massively affected by just how much meat you've got on the blade to reinforce the edge and Chris's blades were notably less beefy, so him taking less damage means he did a god-tier job on the blade construction and heat treat.
Very close match up, Well Done Gentlemen!!! Loved Bryan's comment to, tear it up mad dog, I had to pause the video because I was laughing so hard, 😭😭😭😭
😂 as if u can do better than the government... I don't like some of the politicians too ..but being an arrogant of u... I don't think u can do much better , u pretentious
We call that talibong blade here in the Philippines specifically in visayan region..and the two popular renditions of that bolos are "Ginunting" and "Sinuwak"
*Series idea!! REMATCH tournament. Pit all the pairs that won or lost by a thread, pit them against each other again, and do an elimination championship.*
yes thanks HISTORY CHANNEL for featuring our very owned GINUNTING from Capiz Province,The Philippines,my father is always have this GINUNTING wherever he goes
i remember when I was young around 8 yrs old I am holding a Sundang inside it sheath (local waray word for a sword), then some missionaries (mormons) sees me ask if I'm being treated Ok at home due to me holding a Sundang...never thought anything about it till I was a bit older, i guess its not normal in other countries for a kid to casually hokding a sword outside home...btw i have the Sundang as we are preparing to go to Uma which is like the mountain area of our village..
The Philippines blade culture and warrior spirit has stood the test of time. Spain for 400 years could not get the Southern Philippines to submit. That is why Islam is the main ideology in Mindanao. The Northern and Central were basically controlled by allowing to be disarmed….and that is how Spain silenced the opposing culture and ruled so long. The blade culture did not die. It was preserved in the folk dances.
I just treked through the jungle this morning. Man Philippine jungle is Soo thick. That's why the swords look like that. Could've used these this morning.
Check out more epic blades and wild weapon tests on our Forged in Fire UA-cam channel: histv.co/ForgedYT
The moment Bryan heard the word heavy he knew it
What u mean by “word” ?
We all knew it.
@@HanstheBoss1 whenever you hear the words: your weapon/s are heavy. You’re guaranteed a failure unless your opponents weapons take severe damage.
Some people never learn. So many times contestants lose because they ignore the parameters. Bigger isn't always best.
The worst part is that they literally said LIGHT swords in the briefing

well it does help that Doug's a pinoy...
Yeah Doug has Filipino heritage and he teaches martial arts with traditional tribal weapons
The sheer variety of weapons the Philippines produced means you'll have a lot.
Filipinos have so many types of blades, it's kind of strange our blades and weapons are not as well known as Japanese Katanas or Chinese Wushu swords.
ginunting still alive here the Filipino forgers till now on its culture here what we called in Philippines gensan
I love it when Doug posed a "pugay" with the two blades after the sharpness test. Pugay po, kuya Doug!

Gulok got me here. Then i saw Kampilan. Now it's ginunting. Lol! All finals and all Philippines swords
@Stephanie Lim don't generalize, as there are multiple styles that separate the blunt and edged weapons.

Dough can't hide the excitement from using a Philippines swords
I know right 😏, if they had screwed those up his phrase would've been changed to "I will keal" lol

That's what i thought when i saw this
I've seen enough that they didn't skimp on the effectiveness of the stick fighting alone. It's not so-so sticks, awesome swords, its "wow" on BOTH!
@@techfoolcasey4348 and the fact you can apply it to a lot of other bladed weapons as well is really cool.

He cut the lines if you hadn't paid your bill.
There’s a different story on his website, they probably made him change it.
@@Cervando most probably
I'd love to see a rematch between these two. Both sets of blades were truly outstanding.
Yesss Chris! He's my neighbor and my mentor and im glad to see him win!
Aah!!! You got such a humble neighbor!!! You're a lucky guy..
Must be cool watching him making swords
@@weepingcat6843 yes it is, its funny I didn't even know he won it until 3 months later
Take the man shirt shopping 🤣
Can you tell him i said hi from the Philippines..
"That works!" *Evil laughter*
10/10
I'm from the Philippines and watched few eps. Never expected that we have a rich culture in forging.
It is a beautiful culture.
Just like we have food that varies from province to province, weapons vary from province to province too!

The 4 most terrifying words in the entire show: "it will not keel"
The 5 words of doom "its on the heavy side"
Keep Everyone ELive?
You are looking for some likes right?
"Your blade has suffered a catastrophic failure."
That dog bark from Doug though! 🤣
This show makes me feel satisfied when hearing someone speak about "will kill"
plus...his facial reaction was priceless...😁
I just love seeing Doug handle a weapon that you know he's held before
We really appreciate the way this program show the sportsmanship in every competition

Bryan seemed uninterested from the moment Doug complained about the weights of his swords. Even responding to Dave, he's like, "Yeah... Go ahead..."
Yeah, I think he knew it was already over once he heard that.
"Ginunting" Ilonggo word akin to "gunting" scissors...my grandpa is a blacksmith who made this type of sword as well making knife and dagger.
2:15 "Hello I'm 6 Years Old"
Yeah I thought that was what he said
Hahaha and I thought I understood it wrong
Not even I leap years
He's aged terribly
Since the show is called forged in fiire, I request you guys to show a little more of the forging process please! That's the main attraction of the show!
I'm pretty sure the actuall show shows alot of the forging, the UA-cam videos just show the highlights
Watch the whole Episode lmao.This is just the Highlight Video xD
You seriously don't think the entire show is 10 minutes, do you?
Doug just having fun with the weapons
3:48 Grabe, aso ka talaga Doug, hahaha.
That bark was awesome.
See how doug macaida perform these eskrima dance with ginunting... So fascinating.
Filipino Cebuano here.
Fun fact: gunting = scissors // ginunting = something that has been cut by scissors.
Just realized that the word gunting may have originally used for these and were simply adapted for scissors later on
Southern Leyteño here, ginunting can also mean "scissor-like" or "akin to scissors"
Gigunting = Cut(ting) by Scissors
Ginunting(an) = Cut(ted) by a Scissor
Ah bisaya. Far more fascinating than Tagalog in terms of what's what. XD
also with bahasa melayu here in malaysia; gunting = scissors
I dont why. But I love to hear when he say " It will killlll" with a sincere smile 🤣.
2:17 he said "I'm six years old" lmao
If doug ever gets stabbed his last words will be “it will keel”
3:09 that sharpening movement syncs very well with the music 😂
🤣
Jajjjajajajajjajaajaj
Hey Loki! What's up dude? How is all going on the TVA?
You are not Odins Son!!
He's sharpening his.....
2:14 "I'm 6 years old" 🤣👌
"Your weapon, sir, will kill"
🗡
im also a filipino and im proud that they show many philippine sword
Love the show! I would love to see more blunt type weapons like pole hammers and maces!
This is what ive been waiting for. The ginunting
Is like dacian falx, and “s’k” , old blades from Balkan, before 2000 year
Who is here for... It will KEEEEEL?????
Everyone, LOL 😂😂

3:45 Tear up you mad DOUG
Love this show. Thank you for exposing Philippines Ginunting sword👍
Nice to see them touching on Philippine blades. A plus that it is close to my origins, but also that the Filipinos have some very interesting blades.
Ginunting, Philippine Pride, 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Ginunting, love to see it in action and it did well as it is..very brutal and devastating...
Saw Ginunting and KNEW doug was gonna be a happy camper, lol.
He was probably the one who suggested that blade.
He lost due to his attitude,
Stay blessed Old Man, you are winner today ....
Case and knife are sturdy without losing elegance. The video quality does it justice.
I got this ginunting in our house it made by a train spring from the year 1960 from my late grate grandfather fighting against Japanese soldier.
Man the second Chris's blades made it through the strength test with no damage =O Edge damage is massively affected by just how much meat you've got on the blade to reinforce the edge and Chris's blades were notably less beefy, so him taking less damage means he did a god-tier job on the blade construction and heat treat.
You have to admire it that they enjoy their craft.
The ginunting can be strong by forging it in traditional way.
But ypu dont have enough time
Very close match up, Well Done Gentlemen!!! Loved Bryan's comment to, tear it up mad dog, I had to pause the video because I was laughing so hard, 😭😭😭😭
The moment they say " on the heaviest side" that's it! you're lost lol.

Bryan has a lot of potential, and he’s only 6 years old!!!
Did he say Im sixy years old?😂
Great show of sportsmanship
Bryan has brilliant potential at such a young age!! Can’t believe he is only 6 years old.
would have been cool to get some heaven six Escrima action from Doug with these Filipino swords.
Thank you
Traditional ginunting would've cut the bamboo target😂
Yes since it would have a heavier tip and a more curved one too but not cut it probably one or 2 bamboo layers
Depends on the species of bamboo, some of them are too tough to be easily cut, others are easy to cut.
The barking sent me😂😂😂
Don't worry man.. Being a tight competitor is something to be proud of..
Ginunting. All around blades
I ❤️ when it keels 😍😍
Ginunting actually means "Scissor-like" Because if you put the two blades together it looks like a pair of scissor.
The Philippines blade culture and warrior spirit has stood the test of time. Spain for 400 years could not get the Southern Philippines to submit. That is why Islam is the main ideology in Mindanao.

3:43 i remembered the old day Playing Online Game Flyff the Blade Job .
Thank for always featuring Philippine swords
Its light...
Oh he won.
Vegans would love this show!
The sharpness test was satisfying
Hack & slash! Rip & tear!
One for shot range Long for long range double kill
”My name is Bryan Sallsberry im 6 years Old”
Ginunting translation "cut by scissors".
Great swords, love this kind of sword in the Philippines.
Did yt filter out the "trouble"?
2:14 this is priceless if you see it out of context
I remember as a kid in the 70s seing a man got hit by this weapon, the attacker was drunk and he chased the victim for quite sometime, crazy times
3:08 why?
Greetings from 🇵🇭
I just treked through the jungle this morning. Man Philippine jungle is Soo thick. That's why the swords look like that. Could've used these this morning.
Sick looking blades
His smile is me when my martial arts teacher gets new swords and then I go and buy one
Out of his wife's hair. Hahahahaha some of the guys here feel you sir 😹
they chopped the bamboo in a wrong way lol

god bless everybody’s families and friends may hod look after them and heal them
