I love FMA and have been reading about it since last year. Even bought books. Now I would love to learn it as an art form. I wish there are more schools in Canada teaching this. I'm enrolling my daughter in Karate, but I see that she's like me and seems to have the affinity for FMA. It was funny and at the same time, inspiring to see her twirl our walis, LOL! So I'm really determined to find her a school that teaches FMA. I I would love to take lessons as well. We learned Arnis as a dance when I was in grade school. Little did I know, this is a martial art. The schools that offer FMA don't teach them to younger students. Hopefully she can get a good base in Karate and progress to learn Kali in the future.

Fellow eskrimador (Nickelstick Balintawak) here from Cebu! Big fan of your videos! In the modern age, FMA risks losing the tradition and culture it has brought along with it's practices. I love how you expounded on the importance of context and goals in your video. Thank you, Daniel! You are an inspiration to many of us :)

[@daniel_bernas]

I'm happy to hear you appreciate these types of content. Thank you as well. :)

[@Strawhat_Pirates3D2Y]

You're really doing current and future Arnis practitioners a service! Many people who are just curious will be more likely to try the art out with a clearer understanding. Can't thank you and your efforts enough.

[@daniel_bernas]

Kind of you. I do hope it helps some people. Thanks for the feedback. :)

[@thadcruz8623]

Thank you for sharing us your thoughts Daniel! Your videos and more important your content, inspires me to keep exploring what FMA means to me on my journey. We appreciate your passion and constant work on all platforms.

[@daniel_bernas]

Thanks too Thad! I appreciate you being part of my FMA journey as well. 🙏☺️

[@introvertnerd0377]

Thank you for these video contents. I've been self studying arnis but looking forward to train under a certified instructor soon..This can be a great start to understand the martial art from our country. Although my purpose of learning the art is for self sefense but it still looks good to learn how to begin, from basics whether the purpose, like you said is be it for art, sport or self defense. I appreciate your content and thank you for making me fall in love more with the art of Arnis and being proficient with it will give an honor to my father who passed away last year. He also love martial arts including Arnis.

Thank you for this video, Daniel! Got to know more about what Arnis means to me 😁

Happy to hear you appreciated the vid and got something out of this!!! 🙏❤️☺️

I'm glad I came from Tang soo do/Taekwondo to FMA because cross training styles of a similar arts and learning nuances between the two is something I'm used to. City I live in has a Doce Pares school as well as a Kali Sikaran one, I'm a member of both and one is more traditional and also teaches Yaw Yan, whilst the other appears to be a mix of kali, krav maga and even the bruce lee's Jeet Kune do influence fed back into Kali they compliment each other really well and also means I can train every day which is great as I hate doing circuits at the gym for fitness.

Nice one bro keep up the good work PROUD PINOY!!✊🏼

[@dandandandaaaaan]

I had just discovered that FMA is such a beautiful art, it's so fascinating. And being a Filipino without any knowledge or background in any martial arts but have always wanted to learn martial arts, makes me ant to get into FMA. So I'm now kind of researching because I want to start learning...? Maybe...? Someday...? When I can afford it haha And I love your videos! Very informative. But 5:37 Excuse me? LOL JK Very hilarious tho. But thank you for putting out content like this. This is one of the videos that I find very helpful for beginners(...?) like me to get more context and understanding about FMA.

[@michaelangelo4583]

Thank you for explaining this articulately to non prationers and practioners. We learn something new every now and then. I'm a long time practioner and I'm still interested of learning more everyday. Pugay sayo!

[@daniel_bernas]

Pugay! ☺️🙏

[@kylesamson7594]

Sana marami ang maka pansin ag tumangkilik sa FMA para naman ma laman ng iba nating mga kababayan na meron din tayong sariling martial arts.

I seldom see anrnisador kick high. Is it not allowed? can they kick the ribs or waist? I know that it is based on weapon but what if your opponent has no weapon?

[@johnl2648]

Pretty holistic

[@sirangel6021]

Hello master Daniel may vlog po ako and na feature po kita sa vlog ko 🙂 sana po ma notice hihi.. ask ko din po kung ano po gamit mo na editing app? same po kasi tayo ng laptop thank you master.

[@daniel_bernas]

Nice vlog! Let's keep promoting Arnis! ☺️ Final Cut Pro X ginagamit ko. ☺️

[@jen1963]

Can you recommend any online courses or books that teach it as an art form?

[@marcozipagan7497]

Sasabak ako! Mabuhay! 🇵🇭(ʘᴗʘ✿)

[@mentorteng9442]

Sir i want to learn arnis from you...

[@emeraldlucky1274]

I think as a Filipino, learning FMA is much harder than boxing, not because of its style but because of the availability of teachers, you can learn to box in your home through youtube even without partner, but FMA can't be learn in that way, FMA learning cost a lot and teachers are harder to find. This is my perception as a Filipino living in poor condition, unlike others who have money to spare and pay this teachers. I can't imagine an art created by poor Filipino were only taught to rich and foreigners. Now I know why Filipino just chose basketball because anyone can learn that easily

[@daniel_bernas]

"you can learn to box in your home through youtube even without partner" You can also do that with Arnis.

How can i train with you?

[@jaimetoquia3059]

Excuse me, you are not world champion, you havent fought me yet. Have you fought with filipino canadian stic yet

[@daniel_bernas]

Idk what your point is but I'm a world champion SPECIFICALLY in the sport aspect of Arnis, and SPECIFICALLY under the WEKAF league. This does not imply I'm better than you. ☺️ Lots of other people are so much more skilled than me. In fact, I'll just assume you're better than me. I do hope that makes you feel much better. ☺️ You've been commenting on my videos long enough for me to feel you may be unhappy. If it's me specifically bothering you, I already replied to one of your comments on how to block a channel. Perhaps trying that would give you some peace of mind. ☺️🙏❤️
