This is the kinda of theory I like that combine the stick and empty hand in unison. That is called "Theory" just like music theory. This is a real Teacher of the art oppose to the nonsense I see. This guy has vision! 🥰

Amazing work, sir. I love that liver punch off the snake disarm. The two-for-one strikes of FMA are really eye-opening, and like you demonstrated, it's not just about memorizing and doing the sequence that exact way. You practice the drill one way, and it flows into other ways. After practicing enough of them, you go beyond the specific sequence in the drills, and you understand the principles of body movement behind all of them, so you can improvise under pressure and have so many options built into your muscle memory. Many people try to criticize these drills in FMA, but they don't understand that doing this disarm sequence is just like an "example", just like doing glove drills in Boxing where someone feeds you a specific pre-set combo, so you start to learn how to chain these moves together in different ways. Really great stuff, as always, Guro Belton. More than just teaching the moves, you really do a good job of explaining why we're doing them - and how by doing these drills, it's actually showing you deeper concepts that can be applied in countless ways.

Hey Belton. Gary F here. I worked w you a couple of times. I spoke to you about acupuncture in March. 1 of the main things I love about you is that you are a "smart" martial artist. Love the concepts you teach.

Love your video. I'm a practioner of Inosanto Kali. I've always loved Balintawak Escrima as well. You guys have some of the most practical drills that I've seen in FMA. I love that the live hand is not only used for monitoring, but being used to strike as well. Great work!

[@HariOmRadhaKrishna]

Those Eskrima sticks with the handles are sweet.

[@lewisnoble9875]

Love it ! I prefer to keep winding and hook with the punyo, which allows a strike to the face

[@avigator]

I wonder how a wild stick fight between these two guys would look like?

[@jacobharris954]

When they do sombadra it is near fifty percent

[@tomjeff1743]

A split second one or the other would be disabled, unable to continue.

[@blackdknght12]

Nice body mechanics

[@vorg858]

May tanong lang ako boss, kung may talim kung kuchilyo yung gamet ng kalaban nyo may potensyal na magkaroon kayo ng damage pag trap nyo gamit forearm?
