reading the comments section seems like a lot of people say that Kali/Arnis/Eskrima is an ineffective self-defense martial art. but judging from everything ive seen and heard of the art is that it was never designed to be used in self-defense. i think its actually designed to kill. basically a “kill him first using speed and angles before he kills you”. no wonder this guy, after dropping the other said “now i can finish and do what i have to do”. If im not wrong, this martial art is purely offense and counter with no time for defense in mind cuz it is designed to kill in seconds not wanting to prolong the confrontation.
you are correct :D I trained a little bit of this when I was in the philippines. As he said that the stick is respresentive of machete. This art is for combat. I didnt get to train with knifes tho , little time :(
When come home again to norway, and like one week after I came home I was surprised. There were tryouts for escrima, but I was little disapointed it was washed down version :P In norway it is not allowed to have that brutal trainning/forms here. Every fighting sport if they want to go pro, they have to move and train in another country :P it sucks... :(
This is not a sport like karate but rather this is a basic training for soldiers in combat to kill
With him explain about offense, counter offense, recounter offense,, could we conclude that FMA is self-offense?🧐
@@dualsoul7398 in a way, yes. it is not a self-defense sport or martial art. It was never intended to be used to defend yourself. It was designed to kill.
this specific system and school of Pekiti Tersia Kali system is offensive first. Others schools like Balintawak escrima are defense.
When a man makes you cut your own throat, with your own knife, and your still trying to figure out, at what point did I lose control of this situation. Lol
im dead
you made it Poetry...Nice!!
*How Could This Happen To Me intensifies*
LMFAO!!!!
That's freaking hilarious man. Hahaha
The most underestimated, but the most devastating technique in arnis de mano: the eye poke. An eskrimador told me once, he used to carry a small plastic pouch full of red hot chilli powder in his pocket and he would crush it and coat his finger tips on it covertly. Imagine beibvbpoked in the eye with fjngers coated with chilli powder lol.
I was thinking that when he hit his head to gain control from the start I was like can you just go for the eyes? Reach right into his head and Rip those things out 😂
Pocket sand on steroids
or you could just carry pepper spray
That's fucking brutal
I like it
Sipa to the groin is super effective too. Steel toes adds like your chili powder comparison.
I want this guy to teach me lol, he seems like a good teacher.
i just got taught by him yesterday :-)
@@kalynnsteele6555 God damn I'm jealous. How was it?
U gonna get slapped a few times, but it be worth it lol
@@ianfrancisledesma4431 That's something you can't avoid when learning a martial art tho, unless you join a Mc Dojo.
@@TearThatRedFlagDown sorry i just saw this, not as an extensive lesson because of COVID but this mans awesome and i learned a lot
I was lucky to meet him yesterday for my 15th birthday! He’s an amazing person!
he seems like a really good teacher. clean, clear, no fluff. if i were anywhere near him, i would absolutely try to be his student
Is he in the Phillippines?. I was hoping to travel there this year, but covid stopped all that. Hopefully next year. I will travel anywhere in the Phllippines just to spend 1 day with him. He seems to be a very good teacher.
Imagine getting in a fight with this guy on the street
i'll be dead before i realize what the fuck is happening
no please... :-(
what skills
Yes because people who stand still and let you do a move are so scary haha. A real fight always turns a black belt into a white belt.
Jake Gage spaniards wouldn’t have banned this if it weren’t dangerous. 🤷🏻♂️
Every pilipino child learn Kali at the early age. I remember everytime we commit mistake my mom scream
" go get my stick!"😁
I've seen this used in real combat about 40 years ago. Scariest thing I've seen, still give me chills down my spine up to this day. We were playing back then when someone came running to the village shouting that a certain farmer goes "huramentado" to settle a land dispute. So we ran to the scene and saw an old man shouting for our neighbor to come out, armed with "sundang" on his right hand and the sheath on his left. He has this fearsome reputation of coming from a lineage of eskrimador with "anting anting". So a couple of able bodied villagers intercepted him, all armed with sundang. I remembered how fearless and confident he was, using both his blade and sheath to attack and defend. The fight was so quick, he effortlessly killed 9 men that day including my uncle who merely tried to help. Deadliest sh*t I've witnessed my entire life. It was only interrupted when another relative of ours aimed a "paltik" revolver at him, he fired but the damn thing failed. The hysterical women rushed in to check the butchered bodies, most were still alive but losing blood quickly. Realizing that the remaining 4 men have no longer intention to fight, the old man just walked away. Nobody even attempted to run after him out of fear. We never saw him and his family again. Rumors that time said he escaped somewhere in Cebu and Negros. The experience hunted me for years, especially if I remember how that that little dirt road got drenched in blood and the vivid memories of those huge stab, hack, and slice wounds on the victims.
That's the craziest shit I've heard if it's real story
I've also seen a real knife fight in the streets of manila. Very quick and brutal. The guy literally took 4 guys down like it was nothing...scary martial art shit ...
Damn.. thats scary...
What province?
@@tjcben1 Hmm, sounds like a made up story, but it would be really cool if it did happen
This is what i like about kali. With or without weapons, still universal style.
@baby Jane it's more a fencing style, it's concepts transfer to hand to hand, though it wasn't conceived specifically for hand to hand like some other styles used in mma. It focuses on attacking weak points, agility and sharp reflexes. Stuff that is transferrable to other martial arts.
Thb in a real situation this wouldent really work... Like ur not gonna have a sparring partner... There is someone there trying to kill u with a knife. No amount of fancy things will really help. Just run
@@ryanli5010 For you saying that it wouldnt work(I guess you might believe that nothing would work), just pray that you do not get caught, ganked or cornered. Running is the self defense with the highest survival rate, for sure. But if for example you need to stand your ground and defend your family, you need to learn or practice at least anything at all. Theres nothing fancy in Kali. When I was in the Philippines, almost everyone has a knife, and they know how to use it. Nothing beats experience and in an environment where you always mentally process on how to defend yourself or others that you love. A Stay safe.
This wont work if you think this is for self defence. in orther for this to work you need to think that your opponent is going to kill you so you need to kill him first.
@@aliv6321 it is definetely not a fencing style. Sticks are just practicing for hand movemets, that's completely opposite of Aikido. Learn Kali better.
A TRUE TEACHER OF THE ART`S. NOT LIKE A LOT OF POSERS ON UA-cam. THANKS FOR SHOWING.
Those artists of Booll-Shitto.
Haha that's so true!
@@MaestroDrake 😂😂
Who're the posers?
Martial Art, FMA or Guro/Sensei/Master are not trademarked names, so everybody can create his own "Style" and calls himself Master. Yes, YT is filled with lots of garbage but the baddest thing ist that too many people believe their mambo-jambo...
This teacher has a very good command of the English language and describes his moves very well. A very good FMA teacher and a valuable training resource! Mabuhay, Po!♥️✌️🙏
Mabuhay! Long Life ✊🏼🙏🏼
Great instructor, super articulate.
I have learned alot from him personally....Apolo Eastcoast
I forgot to mention a good friend of mine Filipino coworker taught me how to open a can of soup with a spoon. We were all amazed with his success. I've tried and tried and failed numerous times. How in the hell did he open a can of soup with a spoon?
Haha its normal here in ph.. especially on the man that works in construction
Welp its pretty normal, me as a 14 years old can even do it without the the use of knife but only spoon
lol! my dad does it perfectly. and i tried it a lot of times and it was cut like it was bit by an alligator.
Some do use coin a freaking coin
rofl that's a pretty old hack here. quite a few of us filipinos can do it 😄
Just started taking classes a few weeks ago. Never did any form of martial arts and I can already tell I’m in love with it. Great training video!!!
4:29 RIP face
i like ya cut G
Too bad the camera was so close. We need to see the full body of both people to fully understand and learn what is being done and what to do. Other than that, I really like the way that he was explaining things.
We will take note of that for next time!
Awesome teachings, reminds me very much like Dan Inosanto 👊🥋 I've been into many styles of Martial Arts for over 35yrs & still learning others, but have always loved the use of many weapons, especially the Kali's, my fave, next to the Bo, Nunchucku & knives!
B Blessed 😇😇😇 & keep putting up more vids!
This is the martial art ho end Magellan existence..
4:10 "Now it's my turn." Absolutely brutal style, really amazing!
Good stuff. Had the chance to attend one of his seminars in 2016 at the martial arts super show in las Vegas. He makes learning fun.
Be aware of the guy in the room who has no tattoos...:-)
"And now I can finish and go back" to what I was doing before I was rudely interrupted by this assailant.
Damn. Arnis was always being taught in my pe classes, and id never really understand why. Heck, i didnt even know it was a martial art, not one teacher explained the art of arnis and what it was, so i didnt get the point. But now this is actually pretty epic lol
haha sorta like wrestling in the us, australia dont have shit 😂😂
ara jung damn should of ask the teacher may be he or she didn’t want give away to much
Justin R we have here in oz but only if u knew some one who taught the art it was really a family thing like friend of the family or father to son or daughter ect why no one know what modern sikaran arnis
To be honest being taught arnis in p.e is useless why? Most of the students are young they just want to play with it. and too busy with other subjects. Another factor would be if the instructor would be your teacher. But in my case im proud to be taught by escrimador raffy montalbo
Legit, learning this on PE was quite boring and I never appreciated how practical this martial art could be. Man. I should have taken things seriously back then/
His movements are so fluid and sure, like flowing water. Even watching it slowed down it's obvious that he has complete confidence in the angle of attack, the follow-through of the motion, and has thought this through many times as to how to effectively branch an attack through the "doors" he's describing.
yep.... its so amazing.
be water my friend
bruce lee is well trained in kali and by grandmaster DAN INOSANTO after IP MAN
Imagine ur mother is a kali master and u broke her flower vase and forget to clean ur room coz u'r so lazy to clean up. 😅
beautiful art. has a good flowing techniques...
I mean, it wasn’t for these guys, this art will be forgotten... it needs to be more mainstream
Kali seems very practical. The only thing that might rehearse a knife fight might be Ping Pong.
One of the main reasons why it isn't as popular as others martial art is because it is much simpler and bland. Also the fact that if someone used kali and unable to control their strength they could potentially kill their opponents
@@iwatchstuffs7933 very useful in dangerous countries with strict gun laws, because only criminals would have guns and don’t play by the rules. It definitely beats anyone with a knife too
The martial art that eradicate Magellans existence.💪
they swarmed him . few guns vs hundreds of blades(spears). Kali was not needed.
Pigafetta's diary shoud be learned
That’s move is common to soldiers in the Philippines they very skilled army there...
Really?
@@shushirolls4864 its a filipino martial art, so obviously yes
Things tend to become common to those who invent it.
I understand pkt is part in the army
@@shushirolls4864 ofc their ancestors created it
Brutally smooth!!!
Reason why Kali is not really well known and been shown in class around the like Karate does is because, Kali is supposed to be a Quick Death technique that is for soldiers and people who needed defense. Sticks are supposed to a machete or knife.
The man is on the floor, the one above him is holding the knif"now i can finish and DO WHATEVER I HAVE TO DO" o.O Dude... I have to learn this!
😍😍
Their methodology: Counter offensive re counter offensive
My methodology: REEEEEEE
Arnis is taught in many Filipino high schools. Had a lot of fun practicing it with my classmates.
Kali is an art of killing your opponent immediately. HS students might misuse it.
@@johncarlofernandez2698 Nah its taught more like a dance theres no sparring so dont worry about it. Real Arnis like real real Arnis is too dangerous to practice or even train in a sparring. I know I did it too.
We were trained in defense using Arnis and Mma during my Jr. High school it was fun but also informative and gave us confidence to use it in times of trouble. Our Master clearly told us this is the last thing you need to do in trouble RUN if you can.
well when i was in highschool i don't participate in arnis sparring cause im hot tempered you know
Pura fantasia. Un mio amico che fa l'agricoltore... Con un badile alla mano saprebbe difendersi molto meglio ✌️😜
Awesome very usefull in rwal life and death situation .
Filipino martial arts are highly underrated when it comes to weapon combat and defense.
4:09 holy cow, that was a fast switch 😂. Amazing 👏
That's not even at full speed. Lol
Kali is not an art of self defense but an art to kill. It is applicable to arm forces personnel only.
To think that I worked with filipinos for so many years and never occurred to me, they know how to fight with knives very good, thank God I never had any problems with them. Very humble people and very helpful.
we were taught arnis (sticks) at a young age as part of of our PE class but same principle applied when using knives.
Still...the best way to kill someone with a knife is to wrap it with newspaper, get close to your target, and instantly stab him in his guts or sides. Then walk casually like nothing happened if no one notice or run immediately.
0:01 stop stabbing yourself
come
salamat nito nainganyo po akong ilabas ang alam ko sa screma
Master Ladra is awesome and super articulate , but knife drills in close even with a dull blade are seriously dangerous without eye protection . Fantastic video and thanks .
I’ve seen other videos of Master Apolo. He always says in an empty hand defense against a knife expect to get cut. The goal is not to die. He doesn’t teach Bullshido, he’s a realist
I myself being a Filipino is truly proud of that and also want to learn that martial art. but sadly there's no program or training school here. :(
Where do you live in the Philippines? I know a few great schools you can hook yourself up with.
The long distance stick fighting seems logical but the short knife defense just seems like a lot fancy non sense. Who is going to have their hand out for that long, to where you allow someone to cut your own throat?
This was as impressive as beautiful. Thank you, Master Apolo, for showing us.
As an Escrima practitioner its not about defense, the essence of it is to kill your opponent by countering their attacks as quickly as possible.
Strike them without even realizing your next moves, that's why it consists lots and lots of hand movements
Techniques and forms are not likely be applicable for life or death situations
Pugay!
A true master of the Filipino fighting arts.
from time to time filipino arnisador, eskrimador or even kalisador will come out having their own developed technique in using the stick fighting system.
this is so good. I'm a filipino and only found out about this 22 in my 22 years of life. wish it was implemented in my self-defence life, coulda saved me trauma
It's never too late to add it in. I'm a veteran martial artist and love learning something new whenever I can. Never stop learning.
This is ones of the best video demonstration of a style i have ever seen in my life. I will now want to learn this very fluid motions with maximum damage. Im in love with this!
God I love and respect Filipinos!!
Eto na ang wala sa School curriculum ng pilipinas.
Back then, after the spanish reign. It was common to see a crowd of ppol encircling two individuals in duels within two different groups.. Imagine gangsters in PH meeting at the streets equipt with long blades and kris swords.
There are only two types of knife fight. One is to show off or intimidate, making the knife intentionally visible. Two is the one that has the intent to kill. Let me compare.
The first one is like - Stab > wait for opponent to counter > (insert surprised pikachu 😮) > watch the opponent do the theatrics >"wtf just happened"
The second one... STAB > STAB > STAB > STAB > STAB > STAB > STAB > STAB > STAB
Really great instructions, would be nice to have the camera zoomed out a bit so we can see the footwork?
Its not intended for sport, foot work is not needed..its about killing
Baddass Arch LOL... I was born and raised in the Philippines and you can’t tell me “foot work is not needed”. Kali/escrima/arnis was taught to us for PE from elementary.
In what world would footwork not be needed in combat??
Foot work is the foundation for everything else.
@@baddassarch8697 oh foot work is intended I mean it was concealed as a dance so yep and tinikling
last part:
jesus christ stop it he's dead already!
that knife block & hit at the same time is the most realistic defense for a knife attack compare to the other style of defense.
if I got slapped like that during a fight...Im going home
Great teacher! Thank you for sharing. Please note his last name is misspelled in the video title
Tuhon Apolo is not only an amazing martial artist but also an amazing person! Much respect to you Sir and thank you for everything you do. 🙏🏼
Offensive from the beginning. I like that.
Just like myamoto mushashi said “ in defence you must always be thinking offence.” If your mindset is only defensive, you will lose.
It makes sense. When dealing with blades, it's only a matter of time till you get cut, so you're better off posing the threat yourself than being on the receiving end.
My God I want to train with you guys, this looks like so much fun.
One of very best. My Kabayan.
A knife attach is really simple to understand. Don't participate by doing anything other than trying to escape. In all of these videos I see the same thing. The attacker seems to forget that he/she has two hands also. A real knife attack will have the attacker using his second hand to hit and punch also. It looks more like this ua-cam.com/video/E61jnJe_1SI/v-deo.html.
The point of knowing how to not get an artery cut is simply to allow you the opportunity to escape. Stop believing there are defenses and disarms. Don't participate and RUN.
What will you do if you have no way to run? And your opponent could chase you and stab you at the back?
What do he mean when he says "now i can finish what i need to do"
sing karaoke and drink tanduay xD
@@DjanniKuzo 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🎤🍹🍷🍸🥃🍻🍺🥂🍾
Amazing, love this Master!
Filipinos of todays generation needs that teach us "Guro" 🙏😊
Love your explanation Manong. Learning from the Uncles or from other Teachers from other counties is part of the challenge as well.
If you train Arnis before you have a child, he will have a good life for sure. You will be a good father.
Brilliant wonderful I am inspired. I have heard of Kali, but this is the first that I have ever seen a demonstration. I support your channel. Keep the wonderful information coming.
if those sticks hit your bones even if your body is strong like a ston once a stick lands on any parts of your body that has bones you would be knelt down. mark my words. there was a news about a man who was trained kali he had sticks with him as he walked on the road there were 3 men whose bodies are big trying to trap him and and even trying to kill him unfortunately they failed to do that cause they were all knocked down by the sticks.
@AntiDuterte StrikeforcePanotsky you failed to see the point of training martial arts
Dr Hadinata Roslan I agree.
Dr Hadinata Roslan exactly 😂
@Marco_Slug ShotGun who gives a shit. If you did not have to bail your master out from a prison because of homicidal charges, your opinion is invalid
Check out Akoy Magwawagi revived by Teddy Corpuz for the upcoming " Kamagong " anime series. " Kamagong " was an old filipino movie about fma.
One of the best kali videos i've seen
All my respect for Master Apolo
That’s not real martial arts, I have study Thai kickboxing and boxing for 20 years and I’d beat the brakes off this guy
Come here in mindanao island..davao city. Km7, sasa, philippines. Show me your kick boxing..me with 2 knives..lets see who will be left breathing.
His gonna make mincemeat out you fool
What a fool
The intro had me HOOKED!!
Him saying "now its my turn" is so scary
Even tho he is just demonstrating it .His movement is like freakin water smooth.
Our Indian commandos and some of the police branches are taught *KRAV MAGA & KALI.*
You got a like just from explaining arm positioning(veins & arteries), I appreciate the little(big) details!
video quality would be improved by zooming out and using a tripod. thanks for the content.
Ahhh I remember doing Arnis in hs. I also remembered the time where me and my partner dared to do the routine faster that she ended up hitting my finger. Painful af. The thing was black for 2 weeks. Not gonna do that again
I hate when that happens. You should definitely try it again.

This is not actually a martial art but an art to kill .. It was actually outlawed during Spanish colonial period in the Philippines and has to be practice secretly .
That camera. I don't want to see his mouth, I want to see his moves 😂
Budo brother hardwork talant is super levl true warrior are teach superb for his superb experience successful experience save the innocent people's
Good thing no keyboard warriors descended in this video
Such a great teacher simplified yet excellent presentation.
Ancient Filipinos use this to kill as many as possible during tribal wars. The stick is "itak", same with movie 300's swords.
and probably the skill that Lapu-Lapu used to defeat and kill the great explorer, Ferdinand Magellan
khapsha1000 no
@khapsha1000 lol that's a no ahahaha
@khapsha1000 yes it came from India and its an ancient fighting method in the Philippines but it has mixed origin we used eastern MA and added our Own MA/Martial Arts
khapsha1000 lol kali is also a word in tge philippines a visaya word (which is a dialect here in the philippines) Fight or play (you cant search it on google because its our own dialect)
Great Instructor, Bad Cameraman.
Exactly
I think the camera work was ok
lol
Respect for the world champion @ Morris Dancing
He's So Fluid Its Sickening.....
Wow... So Awesome.
If someone really going for you with a knife you have no chance
Master ladra knows his stuff! It would be a blessing to train under him.
Done watching the video. . Then I decided to read all the comments, you know just to waste my time "LOL" .. I saw a keyboard warrior discrediting the effectiveness of Kali. Saying that it will not work in a real life situation. End of conversation brother. Im a practitioner of kali, a living proof that it actually works. It happened way back 2010 around 2am, going to work. Someone tried to rob me then stabbed me. If im not trained, I could have been dead by now. Again those techniques that are being thought by the master were just used to train your reflexes.
It's even better with 2 Kama. Hater is hideously misinformed. And always hide the knife behind the wrist
AWESOME video and instructor.
People always say “of course you can do that on someone standing stil, that wouldn’t work in real life, real fights don’t stay in one place”
Do you guys expect him to fuckin’ obliterate his training partner/student just to teach something?
Seriously, when enemy has knife, first thing to do is run for your life. Real life situation is very different.
This is a warriors art, back in the day warriors don’t run from the enemies lol
