Bobby Taboada Arnis Seminar | Reaction (Unexpected Quickness)

[@johnsharp26]

I attended this seminar and it was phenomenal. It is Bobby Taboada Balintawak. Richard Cotterill, the 2nd lightening fast gentleman in the video arranged this seminar and is Bobby's European Instructor of, 30 years,who I train under ( I am an Instructor in Scotland). People there were from all over Europe; England, Scotland, Belgium, Slovakia, Check Republic and more. The system can be used for stick, knife and empty hand and is for self defence not competition. The drills are designed to generate speed and power. I am happy to answer any questions or provide info on where to find more 🙂🙂🙂

[@YYC403NOYP]

Wouldn't this be useful for non firearm encounter of police forces for crowd control? I wonder how many police forces have adapted this martial arts. I have seen a video here on KZbin about a police department somewhere in California training for this particular martial art. I can see a police baton standing for a kali stick.

There is also competition for these kind of Martial arts/sports in "Palarong Pambansa" where the Elementary/High school/College students will perform in groups. (Single or double sticks category and judge by its Uniformity, snappiness) There is also actual combat mostly single padded stick. In these version though is less lethal compared to Balintawak/Cebu version where you aim most on fatal body parts like throat. But still just a little adjustment for it to be more fatal.

[@gogranlund]

The stick is the first level of this training. It is used in lieu of the real weapons, which are bolos and knives. But the training is also applicable to bare hands. If you watch the Bourne movies and many other films that featured close contact fighting, it is usually escrima/Arnie/kali. The 3 names are interchangeable. One of its unique principles is that the empty hands technique meant that you can improvise your weapons if you so choose. Matt Damon’s Bourne used a ball pen and a book in the films. You can even use a rolled up news paper. Even soft materials like towels or scarves can be used as weapons for trapping and strangling opponents. That is the beauty of the Filipino martial arts.

[@annapalacio4837]

The schools should bring back arnis in their subject, Physical Education. When my son was 9 years old, I enrolled him in arnis and he hasn't forgotten it. He keeps his arnis stick with him.

[@pinoyroots]

I totally agree any form of physical martial arts to toughen up mind & body is good on a younger age, if it is done correctly an in an educational manner off course. Ohhh really I was wondering if people would take their sticks with them where ever they go.

[@kennethmahilum2019]

@@pinoyroots I don't think you need to bring sticks where ever you go to use this martial art. How I see KALI/ESKRIMA/ARNIS is that it is a martial art that uses weapons and it is not limited to one weapon only. The practice allows you to use any object as a weapon (pencil, ballpen, small knife, tree branches, barbecue sticks, chopsticks, and so on) and you can use these everyday objects as your weapon for self-defense whenever you get attacked. So, learning this martial art is really for your self-defense and can be used for close combat which for me is more practical than karate or kung fu which I think focuses on the beauty of it as an art than for self-defense or warfares.

Arnis or Kali or Eskrima.. My dad was in the army and as a kid I've seen him routinely spar with his comrades. Correct me if I'm wrong, Dan Inosanto (Filipino) was one of Bruce Lee's friend and sparring partner. He was also in his movie.

He is the Godfather to Bruce Lee’s first child, one of only 3/4 people approved by him to teach JKD, and the original MMA practitioner. When Bruce Lee was studying other fighting styles Dan Inosanto was the one who insisted Bruce Lee incorporate effective techniques in other art forms or disciplines rather than admire them. Dan Inosanto was also Bruce Lee’s FMA teacher. I believe he taught Bruce Lee the nunchucks.

[@sallyviserquina2658]

I felt the butterfly in my stomach seeing this. Feeling I had growing up everytime my father tells us, time to practice, get your eskrima sticks. Old man was tough on my brothers . So when arnis was introduced in high school as part of the curriculum, there is less blistering. I always hated when my brother tells me , the callous is a blessing. What I disliked was the sensitivity training since it is very repetitive but now looking back, kinda thankful I did this.

Just an FYI, the Balintawak arnis technique was used as a fighting style in the movie Dune. It was the House of Atreides sword fighting style.

[@JuandelaCruz001]

"Eskrima", which is the more Hispanic, classical version, is an alternative to arnis. It is used mainly in the Southern Visayan islands, while arnis is used the more Northern, Luzon islands. Essentially both are the same. Kali was a term used by US-transplanted practitioners when they started their schools and groups in the US. Through marketing and expansion, it caught on.

[@jhannapaulataboada2698]

Wow great proud taboada here

[@julius999ph]

Not sure if you got info about the terminology differences, but I just wanted to chime in if not. The terms for Filipino Martial Arts differ by where in the place you learn it from. It could be Silat in the south, Escrima in the north, or Arnis in Cebu, where SGM Bobby and I are from. The Philippines is an archipelago, so the terminology is dependent on the language of the island you're from. Cebu uses Bisaya, which borrows a lot of Spanish. Arnis is a loan word from the Spanish for harness, or armor, arnes. For simplicity, Kali tends to be a catch-all term, or if you want to be politically considerate, Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) works, too. Glad to see folks appreciating the art. Mabuhay. Be well.

[@ibrahimsalleh1228]

Learned from my great grandpa, my grandpa died early.. I have been teaching the old family version to my kids(2 girls & 2 boys)... Unfortunately my boys are more taken up with basketball than Arnis.... But at least they reached the empty hands level, so I'm satisfied. My 2nd girl is considered a high expert if compared to the regular Kali/arnis... But we don't advertise it... We are more on the sticks, then bolos/swords and finally empty hands... We're not so on knives.

[@eychpalmer3177]

Good reaction! I recommend you guys to watch KAMAGONG. A Filipino movie that features ARNIS as a local weapon. To really learn your roots, better watch it.

[@pinoyroots]

Interesting will add it to the list appreciate the recommendation.

[@CesarMartinez-oc4xm]

Filupino arnis/kali masters are also in the US teaching US Marines, Special forces stick fighting, knife fighting. There are competitions here in the Philippines, usually with protective gears.

[@efreina6265]

We tried it in high school as part of our curriculum. Man, we had to rehearse with my partner not to hurt each other lol

[@pinoyroots]

Haha yeah I can imagine the sticks would hurt a lot when mistakes are made.

[@odemarkluidelacruz4259]

arnis, eskrima, kali (filipino martial arts) also has advance level/form. usually without the sticks they teach you hand to hand combat, also using bladed weapons or improvised weapons like folded magazine, sharp point ballpen/pencil/thick BBQ stick/shards of glass/broken sharpened tree branch or anything around that you can use as a improvised weapon. FMA is also used by special forces around the world some of them also had their special training with kali masters in th PHil.. FMA is also used in movies like John Wick, Hitman, Taken sequels, The Hunted, The Bourne sequels(Jason Bourne) just to name of few.

[@RODERICOJRAPSAY]

Teacher's of Arnis usually start teaching their students with two sticks, then one stick. Then they advance using knife, then empty hand technique. You can farther advance using a bolo or blade (swords) and realized that it's concept and movements are the same, weither you use sticks, swords or empty hand in fighting. It's really great!

[@soullawleveling8035]

The stick/blade weapon is the 'extension of arms', the pattern is similar when it comes to hand&foot only combat.

The stick techniques can be applied to any impromptu or bladed weapon. If you are carrying a long or short umbrella, a flashlight, or a rolled up magazine or newspaper, you can use the same techniques to defend yourself.

It called depending on your location in the Philippines. If you live in the north it is called arnis, in the south it is called kali, and in the middle its called eskrima. To learn more about it I suggest watching a video titled: Did karate originate in the Philippines. Where they explain the basics. And if you want to learn more in depth about it there is a link in the description of the video. It is the full session that Jesse had with Grand master Johan, talking about FMA or filipino martial art.

Arnes in Luzon / Eskrima in visayas/ Kali in mindanao are the same words w/c means sticks. Originated from our ancestor during spanish invasion way back 1500 years. And now, its teaches in the school as physical education subject, as well as official sports in the philippines.

There are few if any modern militaries that teach hand to hand or non shooting techniques in detail. Within the US military, depending on the branch you would have to request for extra training, and depending on your job, you may or may nor be given permission. Even the more highly trained and specialized units don't get this kind of training, because most people will never have a need to use it in modern combat.

Actually, as a practitioner in Balintawak under Master Abecia, we train with sticks, so that the muscle memory, the principles, the movements in our training with the sticks can also be used similarly with barehands. We see sticks only as the extension of our hands. And we don't have a competition most likely because it will become sports. Balintawak is not for sports, it's designed to kill.

The sticks are only for practice or training, it takes the place of short swords and knives like balisongs or karambit. Filipinos never used long swords, all their swords were short: bolo, itak, kampilan, kris, etc. It is also meant to be an extension of the arm/hand, so yes it is also used without weapons. But yes, i don't think it can be used in sports like mma, its considered too dangerous, everything about it would be illegal because its motto is "the best defense is offense." Also in the Philippines its called either arnis or eskrima, depending where you're from, in the US it's called kali or fma.
