Filipino martial arts showcased in San Francisco

[@roelrobles91]

I love the positivity and the sharing and acceptance of different styles now. It was a much different culture back in the 80's and 90's. Keep it going.

[@pastorrodz537]

Amazing 👏 to see, preserving our martial arts. Mabuhay! Jesus loves you all!

Our fma is purely came from the siaolin temple that's came from Egypt in Moses time

[@danzigrulze5211]

I see that Tomas Alas from Tactical Tavern was there.

[@EmmettAsinas]

Looks good but can those light sticks stop a heavy baseball bat attack? That is the question?

[@dockilat8722]

go try see for yourself do it. dont just imagine

[@lonewolf7565]

An idiot like you holding the bat, yes definitely.

[@KnightBr33d]

The sticks are not meant to stop the bat. In the hands of a trained fighter they are used to put the attacker in an awkward position after the swing is dodged. Then the attacker is subdued or terminated.

[@EmmettAsinas]

@@KnightBr33d I guess you could do a cross or X with the 2 sticks to stop the heavy bat.

[@KnightBr33d]

@@EmmettAsinas It won't work unless you are ridiculously strong. It's much easier to use the attacker's momentum against him / her then take advantage of the opportunity to turn that person into a statistic.

Walis Ting-ting Fight! 😂👍👍😎

[@NormitaMiranda-c2q]

Arnis de mano expert move very fast, just split of seconds movement is severely death. They realy move very fast

[@Masked_Eskrimador.]

Seeing the player using broom stick reminds me of my mom hitting me when I was a child 😅

[@arilguyguyon8093]

You reall had to use hard brooms instead of sticks ? Why not also the soft broom or your slippers? Its the same

[@KenMikaze]

Your FMA would definitely suck when compared to a Filipino Mom with a Walis Tambo and Tsinelas.

Silat student 🙏

[@reychua1753]

Maraming mga pasaway na bata sa pinas alam yan. Gamit ng nanay nila walis nga lng.

[@Feudal_V]

They seem to be training way too close as the sticks are just imitating actual bladed weapons where you would be maximizing the battlespace between you and your opponent.

[@ericleigh9098]

There is no such thing as a style. There is only movement. “Styles” only serve to separate people. Culture is one thing, movement is another. Enjoy and share!

[@radicalrikki-oh4323]

Styles do exist and they are a good thing. Without style there is no individuality and culture becomes communist culture. The nation of the Philippines is not one culture. Yes the national language is Filipino, which is a mix of Tagalog, English, and Spanish, and the laws and rules and government are written in English. But our individuality, our true culture and style is division, it is Ilokano, Ifugaw, Igorot, Cebuana, Visaya, Pagasinan, Mindanaw, Moro, Waray and more and more . The truth of our culture expands beyond the nationality of the Philippines, because before then we were much closer to the Malay and Indonesians, and even the Native Taiwanese. Style is good , because humbles us as a people.

[@charlesxchaves]

There are definite styles within the Arts. Balintawak, Pekiti etc. Same with Silat

[@KenMikaze]

dude,, you gotta remember that the Philippine Islands were not united, and each island have their own style.

[@ericleigh9098]

@@KenMikaze you are confusing “style” with culture. Techniques are universal, determined by our physiology

[@KenMikaze]

@@ericleigh9098 I guess you are saying that all Filipinos are tagalog peoples.
