beginners Eskrima part 1

[@donw183]

I stumbled across this today, watched it, loved it, will be rewatching it many times. I've always loved eskrima, and there's a local place that teaches it, but I am not a morning person and their beginners class is only early in the mornings, starting around 7:30, which is hard for me because I work second shift. Thank you for posting this video series.

[@michaelwilliams5715]

I am a complete newbie when it comes to eskrima sticks and I find your videos very informative and well done. You break down the techniques nicely, demonstrate them from different angles and often with variations and you explain their applications. Nice. I look very much forward to exploring your other posts. Thanks Mr Wmpyr!

[@aisminiadventure918]

Good day! I'm a Filipino and I just decided to learn arnis yesterday. There's no guro/teacher here near my place(in the Philippines) so I decided to check KZbin for a beginner's guide and find this video. It's been years but I still want to thank you for uploading this. Pugay!

[@MrGlitchHead]

You, sir, are brilliant. I am a super-beginner with the escrima and I have been searching for a good tutorial on the basics. Glad I managed to find this video!

[@Mihawk1848]

Very helpful. Ur explanation is clear and easily understood. Good attitude and perspective too. Will start training this afternoon :)

[@jag519]

if you want to use something to practice this, rolling up a news paper is a really affective tool. Especially if you tape it closed once you roll it up.

[@resonanttotality8322]

I'm a drummer, so I figure I should use what i have with me and I am interested in Eskrima anyway...

[@Ragman-s1s]

Broooooo, drumming helps heaps especially later on when using both hands and when training along to a metronome! I sometimes do heaven and earth (double sinawali) along to the double bass drums in the music playing in the background 🤘😝🤘

[@Ravidshaw]

It's a pleasure to watch your videos,you are obviously passionate and authentic. This work you do preserves an ancient art form. Not only do these techniques look interesting in practice (and are no doubt effective in combat) but are also an excellent exercise for mind and body. Thanks. Watching your instructional vids in Toronto. Peace.

[@jairopo]

im TRYING to learn eskrima just to be healthy and go back to my roots as a filipino and i just wanna say you teach really well. keep it up. ill be using your vids as guides from now on

[@LiamFiesta]

I've read a lot about how martial arts (any form, really) can be very therapeutic. I want to apply this into my life. Thanks for video. Hopefully I can find a place to train

[@jocelynnedecastro-limbert2773]

Subscribed! I was looking for tutorials on Kali/eskrima. Glad I found this. You're a great teacher. So easy for beginners like me to understand.

[@joweber2538]

He is very articulate, easy to understand and informative.

[@Medusa-tf7xi]

That was very interesting and informative. I have just started escrima a few months ago and have a lot to learn, its great to watch what you are doing. Thank you

[@gurojwbrown]

Outstanding sir. I really like your teaching style.

[@BigHosMan]

I can tell you are a great teacher. Excellent video,sir.

[@sujithsugathan6273]

Nice videos :-) keep this good work... looking forward to other videos too

[@jackoneil9192]

Awesome training video, can't wait to watch and learn more.

[@kirstyjennifer8885]

These videos are amazing! I've recently been interested in learning Escrima but there are no classes nearby and would rather learn from home. This is the closest thing to taking a class and having an instructor, thanks a lot! Keep it up :)

[@jameslaiola4976]

Sir. Thank you so much for your humble approach. I very much appreciate it because your a man of true strength. My brother and I want to learn this,. But of course are discouraged by the ridiculous macho attitudes out there. So on behalf of your humble public. Thank you so putting up your videos. These are most beneficial and educational.

[@gchsbari]

Echoing what other people say on your teaching style, I add that you are a really good person. I would let you beat me up anytime.

[@Ravidshaw]

It's always warm in the gym (that's how we survive up here, stay in the gym :) ) You honour me with your response Sir. Take care, have fun, stay fierce.

[@SchmidtBo87]

I just got sticks as well! And mid October I'll get into Nickelstick Balintawak training! Subscribed to your channel as well! I'm so exciiiiiiiiiited!!!

[@survivalkraft]

Thank you, Wmpyr! This is really helpful. I have to work most on flexibility. This gives me some drills!

[@nathan43046]

I would like to train with any in the Peoria, Arizona area.

[@simonwillis1529]

Do you have other forms I can learn so I can mix and match and maybe invent my own moves too Also unhanded would it be useful to to counter someone with a knife In self-defence if I have to defend myself

[@JackalopeTrackin]

So I'm watching a video called Asian Martial Arts Masters on Hulu plus, and I couldn't help but to think of ya! I think you will really enjoy this it's like an interview and showcase of different arnis masters and grandmasters

[@PowerMadHeadBanger]

Can the eskrima techniques that you teach on your videos be used with collapsible batons?

[@OvGraphics]

I'm writing a book series (Survival Apocalypse) set in the dangerous but hopeful future. So happens my characters have taken me to a place where military training is necessary and all they have is machetes. Knowing zip about these blades other than cutting fence weeds I search, "machete practice" and guess what I find? Your vid is PERFECT to teach me so I can teach my characters how to be the most proficient machete users. Wow!!! I thank you 100 times! Just exactly what I needed. I am hugely impressed with what you do so well that it looks like art! Bookmarked and will be studied. Norm

[@vinchenzo0711]

hey i like ur vids u think drum sticks would work im not in the position to get escrima sticks right now

[@JackalopeTrackin]

ive invested in a tommy knocker does that count? lol im gonna get out and make me some sticks tomorrow if i have time after installing the new waterheater. thumbed up and added to my CAVA playlist. i was wondering about those circular swings they just felt really good along with the figure 8 i love this vid man lol

[@sarelz1905]

thanx bro, very good explaination..keep it up

[@dwaynenewton4855]

You have inspired a 52 year old to start training with both the escrima stick and training karambit. Would you suggest using a punching bag in this training to give a realistic feel of striking with these weapons?? Or is it better just using the free hands. For the most part I will be training by myself and want the most realistic feel I can get. Thank you, these are great inspirational videos for beginners such as myself!!

[@TrojanReptile]

Been wanting to how to really use eskrima thx SUBSCRIBED!!

[@joewong5136]

Thanks!

[@Kicklow25]

great teaching,you made it easy to follow and learn it,thank you

[@cu1st928]

Kamusta.How does one decide on the appropriate length of Eskrima Sticks?One; the standard 2 stick Sinwali and Two; the Single nunchakuk style?And I can Imagine as in all art forms there is a certain Feel for it.

[@danterael98]

Hey man just found a pair of sticks in my uncles closet and though "hmm why not". I probably won't ever be great at this but I do feel like I'm getting the hang of it from watching your videos and practicing ..thank you good sir

[@doutorjao5114]

Wmpyr, I found a short stick (it is about 10 inches), can you please tell me if your techniques in the videos work for a short stick like this? It also fits in my bag, so I could always have it around... I am looking forward for your answer. PS: nice videos, I am always watching them, I try to learn some and others I watch just because of your flow. Thank you for the videos. Greetings from Brazil o/.

[@oralemorales1721]

where does one get Eskrima sticks what site, ? Thanks great video

[@joeynones]

buy pvc pipes in the meantime, just cut to size

[@dattape2828]

home depot

[@SeattleShinobisociety]

man i like your style.. thank you

[@izzajenius]

yes just got some beautiful sticks and am ready to learn you ar very good at explaining technics. what is that different between eskirma and kali etc. what would be best for a female just learning all though i have know double stick figure eights for about 7 years and i also know the strike zones low middle and high on all 4 points. what would help me learn more and some styles an technics.....yea I'm a 50 yr old female but love the art and i can appreciate all you can help me with......uh what is up with the nick name how dod that come about.... thank you for your videos...Johni girl

[@Medusa-tf7xi]

Hey :) I'm a 45 yo Lady who has recently started too, love the stick, the exercise and the fact I am learning such a wonderful artform... keep going, i'm sure you'll be great and its nice to know other ladies out there are doing the same as me.

[@wolfenemec9388]

I had this idea for your videos... Maybe you could add a "fun fact" about said weapon I'd do the same except my weapon videos I barely use the weapon. And this "fun fact" could also be a helpful fact

[@willrueb9573]

Do you suggest being well versed in other martial arts before picking up Eskrima or other stick based fighting arts?

[@Templar2112]

Great video and very instructive. I have one question. Do you recommend practicing the techniques you showed with both hands or only with your strong side?

[@phazeyarrhythmicattacker3792]

Love your videos. I'm going to start learning some stick fighting and your videos are very helpful for the beginners or just enthusiasts. Plus, you're really cute. :)

[@phazeyarrhythmicattacker3792]

+wmpyr You're welcome. :) Anyway, can you actually kill or do a serious damage to anyone with these sticks? They seem to be light.

[@phazeyarrhythmicattacker3792]

+wmpyr I'm sure even the lighter ones can break a bone. Damn, these sticks are so cool. :D Is there also a metal version of them? In Condemned: Criminal Origins video game there were those cool creatures wielding the Escrima sticks but they were made of metal instead of wood.

[@phazeyarrhythmicattacker3792]

That would be cool. In that game they were metal but had lots of symmetrical incisions to make them less heavy and/or to reduce the air resistance I think. You could've actually heard the air flowing during the swing of the stick. I know a video game is not much like a real performance but the guys with the sticks were pretty cool animated (thanks to Jordan Pallen who did the motion capture for them). Interesting that was the only game I've ever encountered the opponents with the sticks. Too bad you could've only fought with one stick, even if they had left two after death. Shame. :)

[@richardwebster1192]

Thanks brother for teaching so well!!!

[@Marcofloat]

Thank you very much for your videos. They are very helpful!

[@mumblingmarvic8969]

im starting this today does fma also involve shields and spears coz thats what lapu lapu had?

[@stevstomatoe6456]

Where do you buy your sticks?

[@OGFITNESS]

Im sold on eskrima now , you explained it very well.

[@OGFITNESS]

@@wmpyr yeah im lucky i fell on you guys in time, i'll do my best to keep the same spirit as Kwon and yourself going forward in my dealings with others youtubers and in the videos i make. Not sure i can or want to cut out the cussing though, lol

[@OGFITNESS]

@@wmpyr hey thanks man, i appreciate that, i'll definitely bug you once in awhile for some advice. Here a little question now, is there ways to send a DM on youtube or its only through the comments below the videos? And regarding the cussing, at the end of the day you have to be yourself imo, now of course if your a crazy SOB then maybe a toned down version of yourself lol, at least on youtube anyway. Its cool that you dont cuss in real life, to be honest i think i cuss less in real life also but when i get excited and passionte about a subject then shits starts to fly a bit lol

[@OGFITNESS]

@@wmpyr cool, thanks!

[@stealthapproach3389]

have you learned this from a gym. If so what kind of system (if there's any). great tutorial!

[@stealthapproach3389]

I see, more like self learned and then cultivated it by yourself which is great. But arent's Arnis and Kali are the same and both goes under eskrima?

[@voiceoflight8401]

Is it okay to train with metal pipe or rod Instead of escrima stick?

[@fakvachayna45]

This guy is the real deal, way better than that "chosun ninja" guy...

[@georgeruiz1048]

Awesome videos. Thank you

[@Bbbbbbbbbbbbb989]

Thanks for this video! I'm more encouraged with my martial arts training now.

[@walaoehn1]

Can I just use any random stick?

[@datoneboi3869]

I have a question. Wouldn't being able to follow your Eskrima stick put you in a liability for someone who is specialized in watching your movements to attack?

[@datoneboi3869]

Thank you for the response. I will take your words to heart.

[@AntonioGuamil]

Hi I want to watch this in the correct order so w/c video comes next. And salamat for sharing your knowledge, youre helping me to expand my skills ^^.

[@theshadow186]

Good video my only complaint is that you should have showed people how to hold the stick but other wise great job

[@donabeyta252]

WYMPIR. VERY good Teacher.are you in Southern California.???

[@cis7775]

Very good, Mr. wmpyr! I learned 3 news things. Thank you so much.

[@gHaDE351]

hello. what style of arnis do you pratice?

[@TheToneBender]

Nice tutorial :) very clear.

[@Daninja42]

I learned eskrima from you bro. I am still a beginner though, I am only up to the heaven six, but I know It like the back of my hand

[@mrdroid5922]

I want to learn eskrima beacause of you 😊😊

[@MARK12132]

tnx for the info, it help me a lot.

[@aaronbunch3775]

Thank you for posting this tutorial. Respect

[@trischarpentier]

Thank you ! I am one of the beginners as well.

[@JackalopeTrackin]

awesome brother im one of beginners thank you so much!

[@simonwillis1529]

Great vid to start out with To start learning

[@jodirook71]

I have the stick and a boken. ... but I have no one to work with. I travel for work so classes are not possible. How can I get better when I will never have a spar partner?

[@jodirook71]

thanks for responding. I can be in California for a few months, then Washington state. I am in Dublin right now. Its just so hard to take a class in any interest when you move around. I had a former patient who became a stalker ( not love just said he would kill me to get money) I had to hire a guy to go shopping for groceries with me. I need to know that if I am cornered I can beat my attacker down and get out of there. I hated the idea he could be around any corner or out in the parking lot ( psych was upstairs and the judge said the restraining order didn't count at work bc his other doctor was there) I just want some skills that don't require a gun. A gun is a pain in the butt when you move all over and in and out of America.

[@jodirook71]

thanks againwere I in Texas I would be taking classes with you.

[@jodirook71]

:D Thanks, I also found "The Bladed Hand" on Amazon! I am going to watch it tonight
