Dear Viewer,
We won't always agree on every topic, I know this. However, keeping the FMA conversation alive is a worthy cause, even at the expense of disagreement, we are doing the work together. I believe that these videos and discussions will ultimately lead to a bright and prosperous future for FMA and every ambassador of our arts and culture will inevitably benefit.
I love the Filipino Martial Arts and so do you. This is our bond and our connection.
My efforts to promote Filipino Martial Arts is dependent on community support. It requires money and resources to travel all around the world to make this content for you and our community. Video editing equipment is costly and video editing takes a lot of time...not to mention the software fees and storage costs to secure all of this data.
Time is precious for everyone and you work hard for your money. The attempts to monetize and sustain my efforts ensures that FMA will continue to be a time priority for me and it will ensure that passions are kept burning rather than being extinguished by bills and responsibilities. I hope you understand where I am coming from. The skills I have acquired in content creation is in demand and if making money is my only priority, surely there are industries I can prioritize. But as I noted before, I love FMA and I really want this to work out. And here's where you can take part in this journey.
You can show your support in many ways. A simple thumbs up will do just fine. A subscription is even better. When you share these videos, you are taking part in its growth and in this journey.
If you find value in my content and if you can reasonably afford it I have created some FMA related apparel that might love. They can be purchased here: bit.ly/3evJJzj
I have also created a PayPal account. Contributions as little as $3 will go towards travel expenses and equipment to ensure that the FMA content on this channel will continue.
If you have learned something from these tutorial videos or if you appreciated an opinion I vocalised, please head over here on PayPal: bit.ly/3dJdJYZ
If you cannot do any of that, I still appreciate you. I still want to communicate with you in the comments section. And I still appreciate your viewership...even if we disagree.
Together, and in our own ways, let's continue to be ambassadors for Filipino Martial Arts to ensure that every practitioner and instructor all around the world can continue to heard loud and clear. FMA is here to stay and its future is bright.
Thank you. Pugay! Mabuhay!

rip Grandpa anthonio ilustrusimi .. You're legacy will be remembered around the world

[@plantdemic3935]

It’s a garimot aka paete move and not kalisilustrisimo esp if its from macapagal 😂

[@tacticalguruji_og]

Exactly, At times you can find a bit with Yuli Romo but not with Kiro as well

[@jojitsu5620]

Hey, great teaching vid!! I have noticed alot of similarity between highland broadsword and Kali Ilustrisimo. Both use angle and sliping the leg. Love both arts!🙏

[@benquiller5212]

It's heavily influenced by spanish fencing i thought

[@Melchor-gb5rd]

Macapagal learn it from paete laguna and not from tatang

[@michaelangelo4583]

Nice, it is the same measurement Mang Romy showed my last year amazing more power!

[@tinnimac]

Shawn is one of the most well-rounded FMA teachers.

[@mishaniaivanov715]

Same as you, GM! Greetings from Russia!

[@ramonlijauco7563]

It is quite possibly the influence of Spanish friars & their fencing with its' geometric patterns.

[@MATTIKSA]

from my understanding PAETE Arnis is the Art of Measure ! more deeper

[@noejitta]

I know how you felt, i started training in KI after learning a few other systems. And i was like WOW.

[@williamsmith8790]

Love this guys instruction. His clip on Funker Tactical is solid gold.

[@PinoyAdventureRecipePAR]

its a secret geometry for weapon art, :)

[@snakeeyes6737]

That footwork called is lutang. Very effective. The system is very practical and straight forward. You can visit us in luneta if go in the Philippines

[@daxwilliams6269]

I hesitate to call it "footwork" as its a transitory position that trends to sit in the middle of other positions, making it incredibly accessible physically. Its accessibility is key because it is usable when breaking an opponent's timing, which is probably the crowning glory of K.I. Shawn's posture (after the step back) retains a right hip forward position instead of putting back as one would with a full step back, gaining him access to additional range. If you want to see a similar footwork in use, review olympic epee matches and see the positioning used on that long backhand thrust. Really great video Paulo, both cats did a great job showing this.

[@jjones7837]

Cheers.

[@colefowles4003]

Thanks for sharing this una pulgada stuff is 🤯

[@jaimetoquia3059]

Your counter outspeed the opponent and reach him on the counter because he is not fully backout.

[@mishaniaivanov715]

Thank you, Shawn! Spasibo)

[@rigorfiangrayan]

it lacks one step called launch

[@jaimetoquia3059]

You got longer reach. Why not try the other way too. You find your reach and he backs out and he hit you.

[@jaimetoquia3059]

That will never ever work with my own invented weapon and style.
