I'm a Pekiti Tirsia (FMA) practitioner but I lost my motivation to continue practicing the art after coming back from my last deployment in Iraq due to wrist injurries and PTSD (still in the ARMY just FYI). I'm slowly rehabilitating my mental condition and been wanting to go back practicing FMA. After watching this excellent presentation by Tatang/Gurong Dan, it opened my eyes to realize that I can incorporate FMA as part of my rehabilitation. Although I still have both bad wrist and waiting to have surgerries, but I think I can start with the basic 12 steps and see if my mind can tolerate the pain. Anyways, I'm so glad that I found this video and I cannot wait to see Tatang/Gurong Dan in DFW for his upcoming seminar. More power to you Tatang/Gurong Dan you are an inspiration and a truly master of FMA. "MABUHAY PILIPINOS" SFC DELPRADO, ADEL US ARMY FITNESS TRAINER
Mr. Inosanto was my 7th grade history teacher in so cal at malaga cove. He was an awesome teacher and person. He used to bring in super 8 movies of a blind old fighter fighting off 5 other fighters with knives and other weapons. They were awesome movies. The real deal. He once did 1500 pushups (non stop) in one of our lunch breaks! He sounds just like he did in the late 70's
God Bless Brother Dan - This is so superior to any other adjunct Martial Arts- obviously Guro Inosanto has earned his Chops- and this presentation before the Smithsonian deserves the Highest Accolades- Bravo Guro Dan - My Sensei - I studied Kali Filipino Martial Art in his backyard gym in 1974

Even the legendary Bruce Lee adopted and favored this Filipino Martial Arts weapons, the Kali or Arnis sticks. I'm honored as a Filipino, myself to have Dan Inosanto as one of the recognized and respected legendary Martial artist of all time.
FMA is extremely deadly and must only be taught to disciplined, respectful and humble individuals who know exactly when it is imperative to employ the skill.
FMAs is originally for offensive and counter attack with the sole objective of a quick kill, utilizing any handy objects as weapons, making it perhaps the most deadly and brutal fighting technique. It's not suitable for sports. It's best for law agents, combat troops and for deadly assassins. Filipinos, being known as friendly and hospitable abhors violence hence it was almost lost.
Yeah I was shocked how few fighting schools are there compared to schools teaching japanese, korean or chinese martial arts.. Because I think in terms of really knock out and finish your opponent effectively, the filippino martial arts are superior. So I hope more people want to learn this instead of all the foreign stuff. Because, i fact, after testing a few, its better.. it was really out of a caste of warriors, not just some philosophical monestary origin or out of a school just for self defense.. it was tested and needed to really fight for you life
They don't teach this Martial arts to those random individual. As can you see it's lethal technique to kill so they use this Martial arts to those who need it and it's the police and Soldiers especially special forces . So thats why . They don't forget it they preserve it .
Nope just in luzon and Visayas but in mindanao the culture and the way they fight it's also there it's called silat in tausug language just like Kali in tagalog
Fma, should be given proper acknowledgment and credit. Filipino martial art is a very dangerous martial arts but if introduced to the world , this could be deemed as one of the most effective
I've trained at Dan's seminars in the UK...the most humbling humble genuine guy I've ever met & spoken to, he's a beautiful human in everyway, inspiring, gracious, exceptional person. The rumour I know so well as fact is he had often waited inline to enter the venue...Dan is a Legend in how to be the best human.
Dan Inosanto is an incredible person as well as a world class martial artist and instructor. Always impressive is Dan's abilities, but at 74..........AWESOME!
Dan Inosanto has no problem for speaking hours on end,and I would listen to him endlessly no problem whatsoever. Because the man is a treasure trove of knowledge not only about Bruce Lee and Martial arts but of many historical facts. He claims here getting knowledge from his students but I suspect Dan must be an avid reader also. A very intelligent man and a pleasure to watch him demonstrate his skills
inosanto is a great man, i noticed that he is qute emotional especially when he got to talking about his beloved friend amd teacher bruce lee, i myself felt it and responed in like manner, god bless him.
Arnis is extremely effective especially if you do not have the speed and strength. I've personally witnessed an arnis practitioner fought off 3 persons and the strong strikes on the shoulders immobilized them.
One of the most well-respected Arnis Grandmaster in Visayas and Mindanao was the man named Filemon "Momoy" Canete, one of the 12 Grandmasters of Doce Pares, and founder of San Miguel Eskrima. He uses Sword and Dagger or Espada y Daga. What Guro Inosanto said about the history of eskrima were true. In fact during the revolution, most of the Guardia Civil or Spanish Guards were killed by numerous cuts. During the Korean War, some Filipino soldiers (Tabak Division) were used bolo or sundang to kill Chinese and North Korean Communist.
yes that is true im a cebuano and one of student of grandmaster Cacoy Canete and thanks a lot of master guro he preserve the filipino marial arts we love you Sir.
Very inspirational, enlightening. and entertaining. I met Dan in person In NJ in the 80's when he was reunited with my wife's Mom who was his Dad's cousin. Having already known his stature in martial arts, I was in awe with his humility, and quite touched during that tearful reunion as I witnessed this great man crying.as he hugged her, seeing her for the first time. He said she looked just like his Dad.
I know how effective FMA is. I have witnessed for one how arnis de mano works in real combati. I have seen with my own eyes in my hometown how a guy neutralized a bolo wielding aggressor with just two sticks. That amok was beaten black and blue.
Phenomenal display of his martial skill and knowledge of arts. I would've love to cross paths with Guro Inosanto and study under him. He said his student there with him has been studying under him for 12 years . Your SUPER Fortunate I truly wish I could've been able to say that. EXCELLENT!!!! What more can I say.
A true master of the arts. Funny that, when he says, " One more time, slow", that's like my fast as I can. Great story's and explanations for experts and those wanting to understand more. Really listen though.
Unfortunately, Filipino martial art does not have the same high respect as other martial arts. It must be spread for people to know how good and important it is.
As filipinos we are honored to have a Martial Artist by the name of Dan Inosanto who was the good friend & student of Bruce Lee. If you have the means and reside in Southern California, go look him up. I think he has a school near Torrance, Ca. Non-the less you can always google him. Thank you "Guro" means teacher in englsh for sharing your arts to the world.
I am so proud of you Guro Inosanto. I learned martial arts when I was 8 years old. Filipino Martial Arts KALI is the most flexible and easy to adapt Martial Arts.
My great respect and salute to you guro inosanto ,you introduce Filipino martial arts to the world,truly FMA is proudly filipino self defense.Godbless.
the value of this is a spontaneous presentation that should be presented before all high school physical education departments nation wide ! Dan Inosanto is a National Treasure-
rentatrip1 6 years ago you wrote this comment but it's relavance is yet to be understood. These arts are treasures that require better study and preservation.
Thanks for uploading this! Dan Inosanto has always impressed me not only with his vast martial art skill, but for his humility and respect for all people and their warrior arts. Many American Filipinos, like myself, look at Mr. Inosanto's teaching to understand their heritage, maraming salamat.
Thanks and Bravo! Guro Dan Inosanto for bringing honor and pride to Filipino nation showing the world our very own martial art the KALI/ESKRIMA/ARNIS..Proud Filipino here...
I consider Guro Dan a treasure. I can't wait until he comes back to teach us again in a week or so. As for the question Tiger-Mask asks "does anybody actually believe this guy?" Yes I do. Having employed the training he gave me on the street, yes I do. Look at the first Bourne Identity movie, most of the fight scenes employed FMA. When Bourne fights the guy in the office using only an ink pen when the other guy has a knife.
This martial arts we have is always an exercise to protect the tribes and chief or called lakay the head hunters or bird dancers let us nourished our mind to love and protect ...
I'm glad that the Smithsonian Museum hosted this documentary event on Filipino-American history. As a child, I heard of Filipino martial arts from our family elders on my father's side especially the "balisong" knife fighting techniques. Guro Inosanto has a wealth of knowledge that connects the past to the present.
I took lessons from Dan Inosanto and Jerry Poteet when Dan had his studio in Torrance, California. He was amazing as a person and as an instructor. I wish I could have kept going but I was in a bad car accident. You can’t find better people than Dan and Jerry.
Mr. Inosanto is a true Master. His excessive humility is not only commendable but also the source of his greatness. Humbleness and Open Mindedness is the opposite of the same coin. This enable him to see treasure where other see junk.
This is why martial arts runs in our blood. His father granpa Sebastian (Baste) taught his younger brother which is my grandpa Jose Inosanto. And grandpa taught us Filipino martial arts too.
Tnx grandmaster Dan Inosanto for learning and sharing our Filipino eskrima, kali and blade weapons fighting techniques,, very proud of u grandmaster Dan Inosanto,, God bless u
I just viewed this program and very impressed with Guro's philosophy of the arts. I also increased pride in my Filipino heritage. Like Guro, my father was a sakada who hired on from Ilocos Sur to work a sugar plantation in Hawai'i. It also brought greater healthy awareness and respect for my brother-in-law, Tuhan Mel Lopez who is 3rd in the Grand Master lineage of Tuhan Villabrael, and Tuhan Largusa.
Best Asian martial arts, IMHO, is Filipino & Malaysian arts* Silat & FMA* So eclectic, efficient, and scientific* I served w/his nephew in the Army* Much respect*
the honorable Grand Master and a national treasure, Guro Dan Inosanto. What a privilege to witness this legendary martial artist. Thank you for sharing
Just watched this and absolutely glued to the screen mesmerised by Dan Inosanto's skills and knowledge in the Filipino martial arts thank you for sharing
I am Pampango and I searched for Pampango martial arts in the remote barrios of Bacolor, Pampanga in July 1983- February 1984. Someone came over to introduce himself, with family name Salonga. He was the ninth son of 9 brothers and his father was the ninth son of 9 brothers. He looked 40 years old at that time whereas he was 69 years old when we met. He was the last of those who knew Pampango martial arts. In 1973-1974, I went all over Pampanga River lower delta then the hiding place of the Communist guerrillas and I saw a lot. The Macabebe Scouts tradition is evident as the people all were adept at the use of machete and knives. Fortunately, I learned these at two years old as taught by waray-waray. Before I left in Feb 1984, I finally demonstrated my martial arts among the communist-influenced local people and that was, in a way, funny because they underestimated. That broke the communist influence as they boasted that nobody could come toe-to-toe with them. Also since my paternal grandfather was four times governor of Pampanga, Congressman, Justice, and finished as Senator of the Republic, as well as declaring war on the Communists in 1946 forming the Civilian Guards and financed by his personal wealth, I carried that reputation with me. They did not expect me to excel them in the field but then I was training rangers scout rangers (commandos) for 17 years.
Filipinos in Mexico! Finally, someone is mentioning this! I read an article about this awhile back from a Filipino newspaper in San Diego. It's true! Actually, I Googled it, it's also there! Interesting fact! Awesome video though! Very impressive, Guro Inosanto! Thank you! Respect! :)
*Of course* there are Filipinos in Mexico, and have been for *centuries* -Spain ruled the PI, but it was governed directly by New Spain (Mexico) for most of the occupation, and most of the trade between the PI and Spain happened between Manila and Acapulco.
he knows the history and have deep understanding of what he teaches .. just very humbling to watch how he present and answer the questions .. i wish i knew more about this when i was in school but stopped teaching Arnis for some reason, now im gonna call it Kali 💜
I'm a Pekiti Tirsia (FMA) practitioner but I lost my motivation to continue practicing the art after coming back from my last deployment in Iraq due to wrist injurries and PTSD (still in the ARMY just FYI). I'm slowly rehabilitating my mental condition and been wanting to go back practicing FMA.

Although I still have both bad wrist and waiting to have surgerries, but I think I can start with the basic 12 steps and see if my mind can tolerate the pain. Anyways, I'm so glad that I found this video and I cannot wait to see Tatang/Gurong Dan in DFW for his upcoming seminar.

Dan Inosanto is dynamite and still remained a humble person. FMA is dangerous, much respect.
The more I watch Dan, the more I have so much respect for him. He is a walking wealth of knowledge.and a great example.
FMA is extremely deadly and must only be taught to disciplined, respectful and humble individuals who know exactly when it is imperative to employ the skill.
do u play martial arts...are u philino
Well said
Yeah because kali has no restriction

@@dilasgrau6433Are weaponless, bare-handed techniques also effective and dangerous?
Master Dan Inosanto preserve this lost art of fighting, even us filipinos forgot our roots and culture.. sad but its true
Yeah I was shocked how few fighting schools are there compared to schools teaching japanese, korean or chinese martial arts.. Because I think in terms of really knock out and finish your opponent effectively, the filippino martial arts are superior. So I hope more people want to learn this instead of all the foreign stuff.

One word...LEGEND! Great admiration and respect for Guro Inosanto.
Filipino martial art is one of the most trickiest in the world
No shit. It took me over a 100 hours before I felt that I understood slightly.
Guro Dan Inosanto is the most humble master of Martial Arts.
I really like the way Dan makes the audience laugh and teaches with a smile. Far more interesting than a deadly serious expo.
Great man, even greater martial artist but what I love about him most- he is so humble!

Francis Dedumo thank you for sharing the history. Do you know anything about the fight that occurred in Hawaii?
Thanks for the great info. It saddens me, that i never learned this art.
yes that is true im a cebuano and one of student of grandmaster Cacoy Canete and thanks a lot of master guro he preserve the filipino marial arts we love you Sir.
I never thought the filipino farmers the US hired was actually warriors lol
Awesome skill of a Filipino martial arts icon. Mabuhay!
Grand Master Dan Inosanto is simply one of the greatest martial artist of all time.
I like the way Dan Inosanto handles himself. Very humble amd professional..
Whoa! I've never ever seen foot disarms from the ground! Incredible! And sooo smooth too!
Guru Inosanto changed my perception of the Arts forever about 20 yrs. ago, when then Sifu Dan. Still have pics of us together training.
Very inspirational, enlightening. and entertaining. I met Dan in person In NJ in the 80's when he was reunited with my wife's Mom who was his Dad's cousin. Having already known his stature in martial arts, I was in awe with his humility, and quite touched during that tearful reunion as I witnessed this great man crying.as he hugged her, seeing her for the first time. He said she looked just like his Dad.
Very humble master... not claiming most of the technique as his own.
He is really very informative and full of engine.
Energy
Martial Arts treasure, and Legend. Hope i catch a seminar in this lifetime.
"KUDOS" to you, Dan Inosanto!! You are definitely a Great Martial Artist!!
A class act and the most sane voice in the martial arts.
We are all warriors in any subject we're in. (We are all warriors in our own way) 💜😊💜 - Master Dan Inosanto
I am not a warrior, i am a lover
And ur beautiful ☺️
I know how effective FMA is. I have witnessed for one how arnis de mano works in real combati. I have seen with my own eyes in my hometown how a guy neutralized a bolo wielding aggressor with just two sticks. That amok was beaten black and blue.
It's always great and refreshing to watch the great Inosanto! YES!
These are the treasures of our world.

Of all the thousands of videos I watched in UA-cam, this is the only video that doesn't have a single dislike.
Guru Inosanto and Sifu Joel are great men with so much knowledge
This is brilliant. So much respect.
Unfortunately, Filipino martial art does not have the same high respect as other martial arts. It must be spread for people to know how good and important it is.
His sticks almost become liquid
@@christopherwashington663 He sticks to beer.
Why ? its not realistic ... the disarms ... are complete bullshido ...

I love this guy! Simply a treasure chest of Martial arts knowledge and experience. Oos!
I though dan was all talk but after watching this I take it back. A wonderful display and exceptional skill..amazing
This man dropping so many 💎gems. God bless him and all my Filipino people...know your history *KALI

I am Pampango and I searched for Pampango martial arts in the remote barrios of Bacolor, Pampanga in July 1983- February 1984. Someone came over to introduce himself, with family name Salonga. He was the ninth son of 9 brothers and his father was the ninth son of 9 brothers. He looked 40 years old at that time whereas he was 69 years old when we met. He was the last of those who knew Pampango martial arts.
In 1973-1974, I went all over Pampanga River lower delta then the hiding place of the Communist guerrillas and I saw a lot. The Macabebe Scouts tradition is evident as the people all were adept at the use of machete and knives. Fortunately, I learned these at two years old as taught by waray-waray.
Before I left in Feb 1984, I finally demonstrated my martial arts among the communist-influenced local people and that was, in a way, funny because they underestimated. That broke the communist influence as they boasted that nobody could come toe-to-toe with them. Also since my paternal grandfather was four times governor of Pampanga, Congressman, Justice, and finished as Senator of the Republic, as well as declaring war on the Communists in 1946 forming the Civilian Guards and financed by his personal wealth, I carried that reputation with me. They did not expect me to excel them in the field but then I was training rangers scout rangers (commandos) for 17 years.
💗 the Inosanto family! So great to have seen this live! Thank-you Guro Danny.
Inosantos is just friggin phenomenal 👍🏾

Filipinos in Mexico! Finally, someone is mentioning this! I read an article about this awhile back from a Filipino newspaper in San Diego. It's true! Actually, I Googled it, it's also there! Interesting fact!
Awesome video though! Very impressive, Guro Inosanto! Thank you! Respect! :)
*Of course* there are Filipinos in Mexico, and have been for *centuries*
-Spain ruled the PI, but it was governed directly by New Spain (Mexico) for most of the occupation, and most of the trade between the PI and Spain happened between Manila and Acapulco.
