This is a great one!!! I’m a Balintawak guy but hope after my lvl 7 I can train a bit in KI with Guro Viko’s crew!

[@mrmushin1]

I am balintanwak guy myself. I did study privately. Which stage you at now

[@livinginthetruthministries7094]

Illustrisimo was the most feared man in the Philipines and of course the blade is taught first

[@raymundbalce4550]

Thank you for featuring our MA😊

[@MuShinMartialCulture]

Nice! Looking forward to the Malaysia videos!

[@NoneMcNobody]

I Train Pekiti-Tirsia Kali and I have a huge amount of respect for Antonio Ilustrisimo's amazing skill, his legacy, and the practitioners of his art. There's alot of overlap between KI and some of the systems within PTK from what I've seen.

[@ricardogarcia3597]

Gusto ko pong matuto ng ilustrisimo dito lang po ako sa sucat parañaque gusto ko pong magpaturo pero senior po ako.

[@brankostokic8277]

Nice 🙏

[@IsraelIlustrisimo]

Ayus idol

[@epone3488]

I really rate any martial artist which talks about 'distance control' and 'entries' at various distances eminently more practical than those who don't use this lexicon.

[@jessecapitani7342]

wise words, sir. I strongly agree.

[@giovannikolimlim8655]

Illustrisimo kali must be taught to Philippines armed forces, especially the special forces

[@RacerX1971]

Thats how the Escrimadors learned first but the Spanish outlawed knives and bolos. So the Pinoys practiced with sticks. Then people, many years later, thought it was a stick art

[@trinidadraj152]

I think what your channel helps show the world is that studying martial arts is a form of studying anthropology.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Thanks for picking up on that!

[@SoldierDrew]

Latosa Escrima practitioner since 1998, cross trained in PTK, but believe Illustrisimo school of FMA to be the most combat efficient tier 1 FMA school.
Illustrisimo school is Strongly influenced by La Destreza school of espada y daga.

[@genebrohan2401]

My instructor met tatamg in 93 94 was taught the basic forms entered a Manila kali competition and came in 3rd place and lived to talk about it

[@rhoelg]

Iyonatsi or Sayonatsi remains the best defense against any kind of bladed weapon.... Filipinos kows this very well :)

[@giovannikolimlim8655]

For edge weapon like the bolo and sword, kali illustrisimo is effective, for sticks ,balintawak and lightning scientific arnis are good, for knife, sayoc kali is king.grappling with weapons kuntao silat is much practical than bjj

[@pascualluisbedia5660]

These techniques are siimilar to Mindanao Moro blade fighting styles.

[@kaliguyver7924]

I also recommend You also visit Davao and visit Mandirigmang Kaliradman..

[@junichiroyamashita]

I wonder if you will ever make something on Silat Suffian Bela Diri ,the Brunei one.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Maybe one day

[@rrm888]

Ang pogi ni Arnold! Yiheeee

[@jessecapitani7342]

10,000 hands

[@gmee123]

Those look like great training blades. Would love to have a set of those!

[@elishafaithmorallos9157]

Sana idol marami pa po KAU maetoro para marami kami matotonan

[@jlim18]

What kind of blade is Master Narzo using?

[@_....J........................]

... excited for this series of Studies. Thank you MSP!

[@benvb8457]

Ur videos are awesome man. Keep them coming!! 👍💪

[@KalisIlustrisimo]

Smooth!

[@Gieszkanne]

From what I have seen most arts who use the term "Kali" are more blade orientated like Sayoc or Pekiti Tirsia for example. But using the blade from the beginning is kind of unique.

[@decampo123_nl]

I would recommend you reading the book Cebuano Eskrima: beyond the myth. There they discuss the term Kali extensively.

[@Gieszkanne]

@@decampo123_nl I am not interested in discussions about the "term" Kali.

[@shogunshogun]

@@decampo123_nl Thanks for the recommendation! "Kali" as a "term" seems to have various origins.

[@decampo123_nl]

@@Gieszkanne me neither, I just gave you a book recommendation. Read the book, it's very good....
Are you one of those that gets iffy when people say stuff about "Kali"?

[@dhalav]

It's not Kali here but Kalis meaning "blade" or "sword" so Kalis Ilustrisimo could be translated as Ilustrisimo's Blade

[@MrLouladakis]

Great detail great master!.
