Now this is a strange coincidence, because would you believe a couple of days ago I was wondering what you were doing. I have been getting nostalgic lately. This is unbelievable good to hear from you, man. I hope you're still training.

@@RonOrGina Doing ok Ron, in Texas now. Retired from the Fire Dept. and many injuries and surgeries later put a halt on the JiuJitsu..but still hittin the gym and have my Escrima sticks and play with them every once in awhile ! Always remember our hitting all those seminars, Paul Vunak and when that was all taking off ! Great to see you again and God bless ya....

@@RonOrGinaRon, Is this the same Darrel who trained with us that use to Train Dogs?

@@DJPTEXAS yah I hear ay there. I got in a few car accidents and a sledding accident so I am paying for that now reaching toward 70. But luckily I keep going. I feel Kuntao positioning made my core strong so thats why I am able to deal with it. I do what I can. I put out good fighters and people that can handle themselves at least. Keep going strong. I hope to see you again some day. :)

@@HouseOfDues Dog, the exercises?

@michaelswuz4065 thank you someday he will answer this. Of course, he usually does. hard work, man.

No, this is practice till he gets a fight!

That may be because the details of each movement is hard to see. 3 more videos are coming!

@RonOrGina Nah . I just don't like BJJ at any level . I would never use it for a defense . I like my skin, I'm not trying to slide across concrete and asphalt for a defense.... I like Kuntao and Philippines art's . I see no need to go to the ground . And if it does, I'm sure the Filipinos have that covered in their system 😉 chop chop suey 🔪 !

@@brianrahuba6919 I have to agree but knowing grappling helps one understand how to prevent it. Its a good enhancer for solving that problem.

@RonOrGina I just go for it . I try to go for bone destruction, and I take the Wing Chun approach, not saying I know Wing Chun, but their mindset just get in there and hope for the best . Lol . And just keep pressure most people can't deal with it . And punish them when they want to exit the fighting range . If you can force them in reverse, they really can't hurt ya or move faster than someone coming in on them . I gave up on so-called art's. Every day, there should be a self defense teaching . I was not trying to compete. I don't care about points for passing someone guard . Heck, I wasn't even going for belts . These things aren't important to me . At this point, Im just conditioning my hands for impacts . Breaking 1 inch patio blocks on a regular basis now . Next year, I'm gonna try a coconut 🥥 . What can possibly go wrong ! Lol, a broken hand, I guess . 😅

@brianrahuba6919 well, without the knowledge of grappling, you cannot prevent grappling and wing Chun doesn't have anything to prevent it. Without this knowledge of knife defense from a knife oriented style, you cannot defend a knife. See my point?

Hopefully we see change in 2025. :)

Those poles are very light and very hard. I like the balance of TFW staffs. Thank you for watching!

Way of the intercepting face. I am steeling that one.😅😂

Anything out of stock will be back in stock again. Its just that they sell out fast when they come back in stock again. We wholesale them to Kult so if we are out, they are.

Ho on the HOME page of www.TraditionalFilipinoWeapons.com and scroll down till you see - Signup for newsletter, then add your email address so you know when items are back in stock again. Pay attention to it and don't procrastinate because everything sells fast off the TFW web site. Thank you!

Struggling? I am teaching a class. It's not a street fighting. People say the stupidest shit. 😅😂

I agree there. BL had good intercepting tactics. Never wasting time when simultaneously defending and hitting.

Thank you for that information. I did not know it was also in Rizal as well. Your information on these swords is welcomed here.

I have to check that out. Thank you for watching and for the information.

Thank you for watching & liking! 😊

When it comes to blade design many are similar but different. It's the style behind it that makes the sword work well, with a good practitioner behind it of course!

Strange question. What's special behind any sword? The style behind it is one thing. TFW bladed weapons are all very high quality also!

In cities I always do and I do recommend it. But I personally feel I like fresh air so I like my windows open. In cities there is no fresh air anyway so they stay closed and doors locked. I prefer to not have to do the stuff shown in the video. However, its better to have and not need than to need and not have. 😉

Not at my gym. We have a big focus on the area of grappling being it is so important to know for self defense purposes.

@senseisentai94 thank you! Between November and January, everything that does not sell out for Christmas will be back in stock again. My team is working hard to catch up to what that pandemic close downs did to us. Thank you for being patient.

@@Hexspa You have to be a fighter from every position you are in, so you don't get stuck.

@@RonOrGina Yeah for sure. Keep flowing

@@Hexspa thank you! I will! :)

They will last you for many generations to come if you maintain them. Thank you for watching & liking & fir purchasing the swords. 😊

@HouseOfDues right on man!

Thank you! I basically just love what I do. It's fun and a great science! 😊

@RonOrGina You do it well, Ron . It's always a pleasure to be in your dojo .

@@brianrahuba6919 I appreciate the kind words.

@genuinelyconcerned3504 I send quite a few to the u. K, but times are changed lately. I'd say go to your local customs. Tell them you are an educator and a collector and then send me the slip to put in my customs forms. That helps a lot. Many get them through by doing that.

@@RonOrGina yes the UK are making it difficult to import swords. But I am a long term registered eskrima practitioner so I do have a legitimate reason.

​@genuinelyconcerned3504 yes, training government official LE helps that situation. I trained many in the Philippines so getting my stuff through customs has been easy with the help of people I have trained there.

@@adigspi that's why he looks so good. He is always the use. 😂🤣

@@RonOrGina I think these clips came out great. What an incredible movement flow path. The circles and then the entries, stepping on the foot. 🔥🔥🔥

@adigspi Thank you. It just takes reflex development within the way I teach Then go live to find it. It's fun, actually. Hopefully, nobody needs it, but it's better to have and not need than to need and not have

@Santeria78 Thank you for the handsign, and for watching I am glad you liked it.

Thank you...its sneaky! :)

Yes it is...Shooto and Catch are not exactly easy on their opponents. You see both in those grappling styles. :)

I have to agree. As you can see, his defenses were pretty good for a first fight. And he utilizes his hooks very well. Many in JKD only work on the straight lead which is good but there as you know, is a lot more to it. Those are people that studied JKD through seminars mostly. Thank you for watching!

@adismail This is a very old shooto and catch wrestling move that has been used by many people, including karl gotch. People feel what they do not know, doesn't work.

@@ioda006 I am glad you like the Sansibar. Its a nice sword! I keep these heavily in stock due to the demand for them. Order when you are ready to. Thank you!

@@ANZACJugger0 😂🤣🤣

Thank you! I love the Balasiong. It just feels so good when wielding it. :)

I can agree but after all my years in martial arts, I can handle worse case scenario situations so I play with the cool aspects of FMA's also. Though, anything can be used as a shield as well. 😊

I am not looking to make anyone proud. I am here to teach fighters. So far, I put out winners. 😉

???

Go to www.TraditionalFilipinoWeapons.com and feel free to get some. I always deliver right away so you get it fast. Thank you!

Thank you! :)

I have a whole team of blade makers in the Philippines with a partner there who is the other half of TFW. He does not want his name disclosed due to politics and being bothered there. :)

So how can I order that lahot?

You just ordered it? Thank you. You will love it. The TV series ARROW uses our Straight Kris for their action scenes. I am proud of that!

Yes, that simple 8 lbs pipe will develop power after 2 to 3 week of training. In more time, there is more results to see that would make you happy. Try it out!

I am not sure really. Dumog and Silat tactics are very similar. Same with Kuntao...they are all the same but different. :)
