6 Things EVERYONE Should Know About Filipino Martial Arts | FMA, Kali, Arnis, Eskrima!

[@clgmafnas]

Doug Marcaida answered this before. the 'Art' is different from the practical application. the art aspect supports the techniques and theories. while real world application is markedly different. the art pays tribute to the tradition and history, but within the art there is the practical brutal and efficient facet.

[@FunkerTactical]

Nothing wrong with an artful pursuit. It changes lives.

[@clgmafnas]

Exactly👍

[@armynurseboy]

Application exists within the Art, although it may not express or manifest itself the same way it is expressed in combat. Best example of this are Jurus, flow drills and Katas. The sequences themselves are highly choreographed and pretty, but are in no ways meant to be construed as combat techniques. BUt what they do is provide a template for learning principles of body mechanics, flow and movement, and then burning them into muscle memory.

*brings knife to a gunfight ... Leaves with new gun 😎

[@LordLeeb14]

Its really fascinating to know FMA has no limits. The only thing known limitation is the FMA practitioners intentions. There is heavy thing about a person willingness to live/defend his life/family/position and you don't want to touch anything that matters to that practioner. He can make jokes/laught with you but don't ever make him go against his way.

[@TJackSurvival]

Excellent video from an excellent instructor. He is spot on and knows his craft.

[@DB.KOOPER]

I love his comments about movement (Jared is awesome, I love seeing him all over the place cause he's good people and deserves the credit for what he knows and does). I grew up taking Judo and Taekwando and I was also a very high-level soccer-player for over 2 decades and movement/controlling direction is HUGE in more things then just fighting or sports. I'm also not a very big guy at only 5'10/185-190# (now, playing soccer I was maybe 150-155#) and learning how to let other people "kick their own asses" and use their bodies to defeat them be it in a physical altercation or on the field is something I've never forgotten and still use to this day.

[@hammerdown9]

Its officer Jared from TNP. Great guy!

[@Josiah04]

nice vid its cool to see other people with martial arts training in the same arts that i train in. ( I train brazillian jujitsu, krav maga, muay thai, kali, and kenpo-jitsu.

[@NewRoad]

Really like and agree with 'Pretty doesn't mean effective' ... applies to some many things in life

[@ShinobiHOG]

I've formed the opinion that we should take a sort of holistic approach to our training. Part of this is kit set up. Your EDC should integrate in with your rifle full battle rattle so you can escalate capabilities as needed. Same with the skills we learn. Good training in hand to hand is key because it enables you to get to your tools. Kind of like the saying "your pistol is there so you can fight your way to your rifle". IMHO BJJ mixed with Kali or maui thai is a great combination for a well rounded fighter. Integrate knives with your EDC but don't be afraid to have another on your rifle kit. If you do all this you can be lethal anywhere from arm's length all the way out to the distance your rifle can reach and everywhere in between.....

[@diosdadoapias]

Bring a knife , machete or a bolo to a gunfight means you must have a bladed weapon to use in case you run out of ammo. use a knife rather than your empty rifle or pistol; and better if you have a bigger blade like a bolo, machete or bowie knife. Your knife can be your bayonet knife which you fixed it in your rifle and do your bayonet fighting skill. Do not bring a knife to use against firearm firing at you. It is possible that you can use it if you are very close or at one-arm length to your opponent holding a rifle.

[@Imas671]

Damn! This is a real professional!

[@9SS94Cr]

What is the knife he's carrying? Some type of SOCP dagger?

[@hunterestrada3126]

I can tell that was most likely Utah does he teach classes here?

[@MrLupusvenator]

Yes when he is in town he conducts training and has instructors in many parts of utah.

[@hunterestrada3126]

Combative Concepts thank you

[@mr.bigevil4042]

So does Jared train people in California? I'm applying soon to law enforcement agencies and would like to learn Kali or find FMA gyms in socal

[@EricCortez11]

Ian Ron I imagine a with a google search you should be able to find a FMA School and instructor. I know I've met a few from California while attending local seminars. One thing you need to know about FMA. There's a plethora of different systems all under one umbrella. They mentioned Kali, but Kali isn't a one stop shop versus Arnis, Balintawok, Pekiti Tersia, Cinco Teris, Escrima, and so on. They all are applicable and have their own variations of being combative and effective. I work in law enforcement and rest assure, you add any FMA System into your defensive tactics training regularly. You'll definitely raise the odds of surviving a deadly confrontation.

[@mr.bigevil4042]

EricCortez11 Cool thanks for the advice.

[@Atkrdu]

Why can't someone just put up a few videos on a bunch of Kali principles? I'll get the ball rolling & put out a few I learned (it's in other arts, too): (1) The body doesn't resist circular movement very well. (2) If you move someone's main bulk (torso) a little bit past their "work platform" (area between & under their feet) it'll throw them off balance & maybe knock them down. When diverting someone's charge or a big punch, it'll potentially knock them down because of this. (3) Doing things like joint manipulations fast makes it more likely to work, because the other person doesn't always have a lot of time to flex-up & get solid (which you might counter by hitting that person to divert their attention & hopefully divert their efforts, then trying it again when their musculature is "unlocked" like it might be right after the first try, anyway). (4) The speed of a movement catches someone's attention, just like the feel of the contact, and even the sound of it- this could stall them a bit (diverting attention to divert effort). This could result in someone basically watching their own ass-whupping coming at them, just like if they were sitting there waiting for an opening. (5) Attacking the MEANS to doing something first (ex: breaking an arm, hitting a nerve, slashing a tendon, eye jab, etc...) can actually work out better for winning the fight overall than just going straight for the head, because the hit to the head might not work if you DO land it & you might not because of them using these means- now you at have an opening & at the very least YOU don't get dropped. Even if your absolute goal is to beat them, you need to be functional to do it.

The background music sounds like the Red God's/Melisandre's theme from Game of Thrones.

[@thecrossexaminer3678]

I Love FMA KALI! Deadly Art!

[@antonioalvarez1245]

a knive is more dangerous. a gun men can shoot just in one way. a knive is not easy to stop. if you have luck and the guy needs to pick his guns firat you can bear him. a knive is a complete different situation. and a knive destroys more in your body

[@ItsBeenDanBefore]

Antonio Alvares Also knife wounds are more difficult to treat, especially if it is an extremely deep cut/stab. A gunshot, reduce heart rate, remove shrapnel and plug hole, basically. A knife wound requires much more work. Also a knife is more of a useful weapon and tool. You can't cut a seatbelt with a gun and you can't cut cheese with a M1911.

[@armynurseboy]

The issue with a gun is that it is the quintessential standoff weapon and gives you tremendous ability to kill from distance....but it dangerous only in one vector (the path of the bullet) and only from teh muzzle forward. Get inside the muzzle arc and a gun loses it's advantages fairly quickly. A knife has a serious disadvantage at distance, but once you close that distance, it becomes very dangerous because it can cause damage from multiple directions and change directions quickly and efficiently. A stab can turn into a slash with simply a turn of the wrist. And it doesn't need space or a big windup, Simply running the blade over a target will cause damage.

Anyone know where to buy that jacket Jared has?

[@TJackSurvival]

[@TJackSurvival]

Funker Tactical - Fight Training Videos Nailed it.

[@TJackSurvival]

***** And a shut in too evidently. LOL

[@wattlebough]

Trying to work out Jarred's accent, sounds like an Aussie whose spent a long time in the United States.

[@That_broke_biker]

i saw the video that was in the thumbnail

[@FORTUNENGLORY]

Principle vs. Application

[@leoj2]

good video.

[@monroekelly9064]

Jared is good but I find many of his comments suspect. And as a former Army spec ops soldier I can't see how he feels he is a military spec ops trainer. Nor have I found among my network anyone who's ever trained under him. I feel his bloviating is for marketing. But it's OK because that's the way of the world these days with most commercial tactical trainers and entities. And if you bring a knife only to a gun fight you will die. All the combatives in the world can make up for stupidity.

[@Jay-tq3xo]

it depends on the situation. is the gun already loaded former army spec ops soldier, distant of the enemy. what do i know, im just using common sense ?..lol.

[@tinlong6469]

Did you use Police Activities's thumbnail

[@kayak0000]

Functional application: to keeell

[@javeilmundotamayo8103]

The arts is good but its how you have use it in real life experience ... to some who are saying its a failure bullshit you unexperience

[@ruffknucklekennel1994]

a legit CQC instructor who is wearing all new gear that looks like he just ripped the tags off?

[@CyberSoldierD19]

So why use a Cops photo that was not stabbed but shot as your KZbin cover photo for this video? Talk about miss leading!

[@jubeikibagami5821]

A pencil....a fucking pencil ✏️

[@jimenezap09]

Nowadays, not only kali but also aikido gets a lot of criticism from bashers saying that these self-defense techniques are not realistic etc. etc. Point is, if you see it being demonstrated, you sure know how to block it but if you're facing an opponent you don't know what move he or she is gonna make then things get interesting. I like to put to the test these fucking bashers, see if they can really beat the hell out of martial artists and styles they ridicule.

[@rambosey6275]

The officer in the thumb nail was shot.

[@ThelonewolfJordan]

Lone Wolf LOL

[@OldBadger1]

I was in the army for a total of 28 years (including reserves) The only guys I saw with such shiny new kit .worked in supply units , far from the front lines. Just saying........ i

[@mcoy12garcia]

i believe on kali

[@bufunga]

It only works with other filipinos

[@armynurseboy]

Bingo. Drills are meant to build attributes....but should not be confused with combat.

[@diosdadoapias]

stupid drills is simulating combat . which do you choose you fight without even having a drill or sparring or you have a drill or sparring and then you fight? Just because marcaida is known for martial arts what he is telling is the gospel truth/ No! I hope that he had already fought with a knife in a real fight.

[@lrgsr6009]

Vs bullets no good

[@KenMikaze]

We all know, Mix Martial Arts trump FMA All the time.

[@ShinieGenie]

Kali adapt to counter this other technique to the Asian Region... moreover no matter how high your technique is if your a coward its useless so stop talking like ohhhh that's unrealistic that is nothing in real life bruhh 5 seconds rule buddy put that in your brain

[@curlybill3966]

Misnomer title. Sucks...

[@IBT98]

This is getting ridiculous, never take a knife to a gun fight

[@touofthehighplains]

IBT98 21 ft rule. Unless the gun is already drawn a knife wielding attacker will have the advantage.

[@IBT98]

touofthehighplains except the 21foot rule was proven wrong, again, the Salt lake city drills had the gun men win 9/10 times in the 21 feet range

[@danielskipp1]

"win"? Shots with a pistol, even to centremass, are not guaranteed stoppers over short time periods... there is plenty of footage here on YT of guys being shot repeatedly and still running way more than 21 feet.

[@IBT98]

Daniel Skipp plenty of footage of poor performance low energy transfer bullets doing that, but a plenty of videos of high energy transfer rounds doing one shot, one kill, no bullshit......but most American gun people dont understand the science behind that and continue to make stupid shit : ) so believe in in your internet will power will allow you to take infinite damage myths

[@danielskipp1]

IBT98 engage in your dumb assumptions all you want but the many stories of fighters in wars taking multiple rifle rounds to the chest and still charging and fighting disprove your delusion of one shot one kill.
