Balintawak with Grandmaster Bobby Taboada Balintawak Canada Chapter

[@reygreenwood8907]

Translate this to empty hand with his high and low punching with open hand and hammer fist strikes. Couple that with his block and pull defensive system and this would devastate people with ruthless efficiency. It would be like wing chun on steroids! The skills that this two gentlemen have is poetry in motion. I'm 32 now! Iv been studying various martial arts since the age of 5 and this has just reminded me why I love it so much THANK YOU for the video :-) I feel like a 5 year old again. I need this in my life

[@romuloambay9624]

in filipino stick fighting age doesn't matter much as long as youre healthy enough to swing the stick. . one need not to split the legs for high kicks and punch heavy bags. .and fancy and superficial moves. .you need only to efficiently swing the sticks at say, 80-100kms per hour. .

[@gusportstv4911]

FMA is so effective because you dont necessarily need a stick to fight, infact you can apply same concept using bare hands

[@tedrecitas8764]

What a gem! Always great seeing GM Taboada in action. Thanks for the post

[@anonymouslyrics]

I just met this guy. I'm sitting in the bank and this older gentleman is walking past me. The closer I look at him I'm saying to myself...this guy looks very familiar. So I approach him and ask are you a martial artist? He softly replies yes. I'm like I recognize you from KZbin!!! We talked for a few minutes. He was very humble and approachable.

[@zshakur]

Most great martial artists are.

[@simpleman8644]

I’ve only had 2 lessons so far so watching these two go at this speed and accuracy is just amazing to me. I used to think I was a pretty good martial artists but this system is on another level of speed and intuition. I love it!

My son is taking stick fighting here in North Carolina USA. It has built his confidence. He was shy after coming to the US from the Philippines, and the training keeps him in touch with his culture. I have posted videos of his training.

Is there a Bobby accredited Balintawak arnis school in the Phillippines? Where?

[@charliecoylibom6244]

Cebu Phils lots of training schools.

[@jacobharris954]

Bobby did not create the style but just look around bro

[@judoboy1962]

Interpretation of the different FMA styles are really interesting. Some styles train based on stick concepts, while others on bladed weapons.

[@DOT107]

Judoboy Maui they train in both actually, just depend on what the Grandmaster easily trains with. But they still follow the basic progress system of Stick first, Blade next, bare knuckles later.

[@gutsgriffith4549]

@@DOT107 Pikiti Tirsia kali is sword, knife, tomahawk, etc.. they don’t focus on sticks that’s why special forces used it.

[@forgedanvil2288]

I see you sparing with a right handed against right handed. I left handed. Would love to see right against left. Thanks

[@andylim8647]

That will be wonderful. It's like fighting a mirror image.

I asked my instructor the same question, he gave me a honest answer. He does not know how to it

Can bambo be used?

[@elyserva7903]

Yes! You even use a pen or pencil.

[@GuroFerd]

Does GM Bobby Taboada have a training group in the San Francisco bay area? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

[@unclebraddah]

PTK-SMF Peninsula Ferd...none. Closest who use the groupings method would be w/ GM Nene Gaabucayan in Los Angeles or in Seattle w/ Guro Azeem McDaniel. Sonny

[@jeffsoriano9697]

Actually Shawn Hayes of Hayes Martial Arts in Fremont is a Full Qualified Instructor under GM Taboada. Great guy and great martial artist.

[@guererodelluz]

i see so many style of eskrima/kali on youtube. Are they all the same training, how is this balintawak diffferent?

[@topherodesk]

balintawak is focused on Reflexes and Close quarter.... because most street fight happen in close quarter ambush attack... you rely mostly on Reflexes and quick reaction to defend yourself.... so this is the Focus of Balintawak style.... You can study any style of Eskrima and supplement it with Balintawak style.... and you will be a well rounded fighter....

[@RyanAggabao]

If you ever get involved in our counter-to-counter flow drills in balintawak, you'll find out that it can cater to your needs. You can go half speed to learn new techniques, and even an "aerobic" or "cardio" component when going fast. As you progress through each level, you'll naturally engage less of the arms and more of the core and legs. It's more of a work out than it looks.

[@nicktaboada8328]

Great vid. Sped up a lil too much tho. Takes away from it IMO

[@unclebraddah]

Jon Leonard That's the importance of learning directly from the teacher and not videos.

[@ashidakim4270]

The fly swatting art ! My hanbo would snap those shity sticks

[@nick9812PH]

actually those stickes are for training, it applies to knives

[@BreathingGuy20]

Those shitty sticks would be hitting your hands, limbs and head and not your hanbo. Hitting stick on stick is for training bro.

[@vidgood8682]

lol why would you be using a hanbo against rattan? you don't seem to understand filipino martial arts...

[@Chunda8]

Put your theory to the test and see what happens. This art comes from being tested in WW2, costing the Japanese military 492,000 casualties. Next can step up anytime, we are easy to find, stop on by.

[@janvapinoylifeindubaiprodu9987]

they are breaking the strike but do it reality in filipino fight
