[@RustyNinja]

Man, I love watching Ray Dionaldo work the techniques, His flow and body movement is impressive. Very natural. His skills are impressive.

[@TulisanGuro]

Tuhon Ray is an exceptional Martial Artist, and is by far one of the most spectacular of the FMA Masters teaching today!

[@STUDENTOFARNIS]

Ray you rock brother! We need you here in Rhode Island. You have some old friends here that miss you. Master V sends his regards.

[@egopotato]

Awesome demo Tuhon Ray, easily one of the best that I've ever seen. It's good to see a FLIP doing well. Thanks for sharing.

[@ritzscar]

ive been a practitioner for almost 2 years now, and my god, ive never seen motion so fluid... i bow before the master.

[@dimebaghimself]

well done sir, i'm only red sash but i've been learning the kali art for 6 months. i'm filipino and my guru always picks me out to demonstrate lol hes always kicking my ass

[@cesarvidelac]

Thank you! Fortunately, I graduated from school a long time ago! There's still a lot of ignorance about martial arts, I always try to do something about it every day! power to you too! :)

[@littlepoop77]

All you're missing are blood effects:). Very smooth! Love it.

[@cesarvidelac]

Yes. I always remember, "It's not what you do, is how well you do it" :)

[@johnnymac74]

OUTSTANDING! LOVE IT.

[@ritzscar]

in my opinion, yes kali hand fighting styles are very practical. kali does not require complicated forms to execute a block or a parry, and strikes are direct.

[@lionheartninja]

Kali really works on your hand eye coordination

[@Metallian2112]

Truely amazing!!! Dont know what else to say besides GnR rocks! Take Care

[@JohnChivez]

Keep in mind the title "15 years". The guy is good enough to use them. But a lot of it is to "keep touch -keep track" As long as your are touching that part of their body you can feel if and where they will attack next as well as being able to start blocking as soon as movement starts. This keeps the oppoent from building much striking momentum and having to block harder.

[@Mliverio]

Outstanding!

[@fatman100]

Nice,many systems will work well in an unarmed situation but as Inosanto says "That changes with three inches of steel". The reality is that few fighting systems really address weapons as well as kali;and since you never know who will attack you and pull that blade out -this is a real complete fighting system.

[@Siracuza]

He's a good entertainer.

[@PizzaRat]

I currently do tai chi, but Kali is an art that has always interested me. If only I could find a good place to learn it.

[@rommelcruzsager]

Nice, good demo, Nice flow.

[@RushInNinja]

Amazing.

[@MDSJudicator]

This dude is SICK!!!!!! Fili Power!

[@andreikamiKaze]

kali is what u gonna use in da real life.its like what's working n no what's looking good, n that gonna save yo life

[@Finalymadename]

Part of the martial arts in the Jason Bourne films was Kali!

[@dabom12898]

I like how this is only a song video now :P

[@joshkinney86]

I couldn't agree more!

[@lambi]

The Bourne Identity features Eskrima, according to Matt Damon during DVD featurettes. The Hunted featured Sayoc Kali.

[@ShowDonkeys]

really enjoyed that

[@kenshin715]

Awesome!

[@kribbyshibby]

this guy kicks ass

[@timebird78]

Very good!

[@nelsonpintoofficial]

Great Super Video Sir

[@indionueve]

geeze utah needs to get this stuff man, i would love to learn kali!

[@dagadiablo]

Tightest on the Internet! Ray has got FLOW! Silat ain't shit without eskrima--period--don't kid yourselves--just "slapping" Ray can pull it off. That ain't Sayoc-that's Ray. Do baby! Mabuhay!

[@Bladestar7]

to see this guy flow like that ...you dont know where the stick/knife ends or where he begins. Thats great flow.

[@PlagueInfestedCheese]

sticks were a popular weapon when the spaniards took away anything resembling a sword. They can be substituted with almost anything that can be grasped easily.

[@Danvdp]

Its works at our gym we do a system witch is just called knife fighting (wkfs). Its a combination of Kail, Krav Maga and some own input. Its works, but its hard as hell to learn.

[@lordchunkyfat]

iv met this man. these videos do not show how fast he really is.

[@gerryboy101]

krav maga is an excellent self defence system. kali is about counter defence and killing. you don't just use blades in kali. you can use keychains, pensil, pen, newspaper, eating utensils etc. using objects is primary to fma, bare knuckle is secondary. this is why kali (fma) are among the deadliest art in the world

[@Sancria]

Even in "soft" martial arts you run the risk of injury. In a style with weapons, be it a bokken, shinai, staff, or knife, it just means extra care must be taken. In this vid, when the guy is demonstrating his flow of technique, you should wonder how good he really is. Having practiced extensively with weapons, yes, you can get hurt, even seriously, but that's why you MUST practice so extensively to be allowed to even spar in most every system.

[@DreadedGuardian]

Well, the main difference between them is that aikido is not a violent art. There are no actual attacks in it because it is meant to be used in conjunction with another art rather than on its own. Many people demonstrate it as a combat art, but it is never 100% realistic, because it was not originallymeant to stand alone like kali. It was created on the battlefield to assist at specific points in other styles, but kali is far more practical as it is actually complete.

[@smokefan1420]

jason bourne movies have good kali, but The Hunted has superb kali demonstrations.

[@pipi3222]

sehr elegant!

[@HulyoOchoTV]

reminds me back home whhen two rival filipino gangs still use kali sticks as weapons...

[@DocLaoX44]

Man, just come to one of the gatherings...

[@grtwhtbnr]

i got the 2001 ice ice baby mix playing in the background...it actually goes well with the vid...LOL

[@sheren_b]

the purpose of having a stick is having an extension of your arm and its not fun because you can get you but kicked. and its a very serious sport.

[@1004w12]

Yeah!

[@sushimannnn]

I like the part when the video gets gray.

[@ucchamburg]

fantastic,that works.axel ucc hamburg

[@Piotrek830324]

WOW! Great! I like it 5/5 Stars

[@nelsonpintoofficial]

100 Stars :-) Really rocks :-)

[@PlagueInfestedCheese]

Maybe they aren't being "tough guys" and are just confident. I've met Tuhon Tay, he doesn't act like a tough guy at all, he's confident in his methods, and so there's no need to look otherwise. As for the tracks, they're good workout tracks, and are good to get you in that mood for intense things to happen, and plus they're simply just good tracks.

[@Bladestar7]

Actually Dan incorporated it after Bruce's death. Though I do beleive he showed Bruce some of it 1st. I could be wrong. Doesnt matter because FMa is effective as hell.

[@cdubb3]

Damn brutal and effective

[@DJDannyC420]

Bad ass!

[@fnord23]

he was showing at a kenpo studio prolly

[@capredaime]

peasant farmers were forbidden conventional weaponry such as arrows or blades so they improvised using only what they had available, farm tools such as the sickle. Regardless of the origin of the nunchaku, the modern weapon would be an ineffective flail.

[@MischaC]

True, though FMA has some badass defensive moves that can get you out of there quick if you use them right. IME, the overemphasis on "winning" and killing, KOing, or submitting your opponent is pretty widespread in martial arts and you have to take the good stuff along with the stuff that sells (i.e. peoples' fantasies of being "dangerous").

[@Finalymadename]

No, I meant part of it, I should have been more specific, in the first two films it IS pure Kali, however in the third it does vary slightly with some extracts of JKD philosophy rather than pure Kali. You will notice this when Matt Damon tilts his head side to side to give the effect of a real fight, he deviates his centerline, wich commonly didn't happen in the first two films. Peace out man XD P.s I LOVE FMA

[@realmasterchief]

If overkill is continuous attacking, then it actually is in Krav Maga. You attack the opponent until they're down and won't get back up. In KM, you attack until they're incapacitated, not dead. You don't want to purposefully kill an attacker, just knock them out.

[@DocLaoX44]

yeah! who's up yours

[@lordhumongos]

the principals you see in this vid directly translate to empty hand, just as the principals of KM can be applied to a blade. Open your mind a bit....

[@mrtuckeverlasting]

they also used kali in borne identity series.

[@cesarvidelac]

I always had that argue with my history teachers, many depict the killing of Magallanes almost as being killed by cavemen! Filipino martial arts are developing most probably from 9th century, that's a lot of real experience. Many history teachers don't even know who Lapu Lapu was. :)

[@ucchamburg]

die messertechniken sind wirklichsehr gut. Axel ucc hamburg

[@MemphisKaliGroup]

Which version? For you I would recommend? The edenapple version, of course. I wouldn't expect a technical scientific presentation of FMA on a 'comment' but I also wouldn't expect most, if any of the MMA Fight Teams to hand you 'their' comprehensive technical scientific aspects without you being part of the team. A lot of what you are asking for in FMA is in the public sector. Knowing the ailment is one thing, finding the cure another. I like your line of inquiry. MKG

[@frederico4d]

ok, i understand now, its not the best way to use it, its the hardest. I do, that's why i was curious. Now i see the logic! just dont agree with "therefore being able to use the sticks with fluidity at close range means you're all the more effective at a distance out of arm's reach but within striking distance of a stick" cheers.

[@MemphisKaliGroup]

since you are born post WW2 a brief research into the 1st Filipino Battalion provides the repeatedly tried and proved reality test to the effectiveness of the Filipino blade arts. As well as present day training in the Philippine, U.S. and other countries Armed Forces and Law Enforcement. You make good points, they would make more sense if you did more research. it's part of the journey!

[@jamx97]

I think Vin Diesels Riddick got his knife movements from this (Kali)

[@rstvz1]

o ok thnx for explainin

[@g0ku]

fucken kuya is dope.

[@jackieasstan]

uhh the stick is actually a subtitute for "bolo" its kind of short sword in the philippines.. so yeah they use sticks so its easier to teach someone the style and also for the sport purposes :|

[@RoboHearted]

You kidding me? I live in Fl, almost everyone here carries a gun or knife. And since I live in Fl we have to drive everywhere meaning we have cars, meaning a gun or knife is within arms reach. There's a reason why Orlando, the city where I live, has the nickname "Gunlando" for a reason.

[@Aerialistreloaded]

sweet

[@globastien]

Yeah!!! I knew him. Actually, her antie is my former teacher . While her small sister, possibility is one of my classmate before. He look best but absolutely more than best my late brother`s than him. We had since that before the combination art of Kung Fu Filipino Martial Arts created by late legendary Grand Master Angel Blancia for almost 60 years from now. All his technique`s was found in Blancia System.

[@kevinabarsoza]

@viewer1a actually there is no such thing as sparring in pekiti tersia kali. because pekiti tersia is used to kill people with either a bolo knife, with a bare fist or even a stick.

[@1Adrenoline1]

@kevinabarsoza I do realize that this isn't like the show orientated system like karate and tae kwan do but i don't realize how you can they teach this and how someone practices the moves they have learned. This martial arts is by far my favorite and I wouldn't mind any information you can give me on it.

[@BBTKALI]

yep

[@ReaganHot24]

what is the weapon used from 3:10 till the end?

[@toosorryfor]

i he's still good!!!

[@Pixxeria]

Simple, with insane people (myself included) that is willing to take the risk of injury. Damn it, anyone willing to practice martial arts who doesn't want to get hurt is folling himself. The only bad injury is the one that doesn't go away after a few days or weeks.

[@dynamoehummm]

In this style of knife what is the reasoning for blade 'up' vs. blade 'down'?

[@hammerofgod85]

jesus h christ the whole concept is freaking unreal. Never seen anything like it in the fighting world and i never wanna come across it. Cause if you fight a guy like that would wont say anything to anybody....ever again

[@3ch056]

Is this only daga? Kick ass

[@kajun566]

Fair enough. I didn't know you lived in a place nicknamed "Gunlando". But, if you're like everyone else I've come across, "almost everyone here carries a gun or knife" means

[@HulyoOchoTV]

yer right bro'

[@Edalb123]

What style of Kali does he use?

[@KingPun]

shit I gotta buy a couple of his vids from my point of view every move he makes is a "kill" move striking vital points.

[@frederico4d]

it's funny how he fights so close with the stick... kind of misses the purpose of having a stick, no stronger strike, no safer distance stance but hey! it does look fun.

[@Sancria]

I agree! I have more then 15 years experience in MA and I still gave up my wallet to a guy with a knife. It's just not worth it. Now if I had my gun with me instead....

[@BBTKALI]

sick right

[@9353020]

wow! reminds me of CQC of metal gear solid 3: snake eater..

[@goldenagenut]

Only one word to describe the Filipino arts; scary.

[@Bladestar7]

You're video isnt showing up on the clip only the music. Just letting you know.

[@capredaime]

read the history dude...the weapon was developed in response to the moratorium on edged weaponry under the Satsuma daimyo after invading Okinawa in the 17th century

[@lokithor83]

At 1:29 he must have cut mr winky right down the middle..

[@todei79]

I know it's a drill but the "dummy" could have attacked the instructor with a little more realism. Every looks at the instructor and is amazed by his fluidity but look at the "dummy." He just stands there. I know in reality he couldn't do much after the first or second attack but he could've made that first punch look better.

[@3ch056]

Yeah me too.

[@fnord23]

"Fedor,Cro-cop, Andy Hug, Zambidis, Buakaw, are the Lords of martial arts," DooD if those guys are the only MA guys you consider to be the top of the MA world ya really need to get out more =)

[@kajun566]

How often are you someplace carrying a gun or a knife? ;)
