Guro Dan Inosanto on a story from WW2 Philippines by GM Leo Giron

[@l4w1nc0l7]

tandaan nyo, wag manilawa sa mga dayuhan kahit maganda ang kanilang intensyon...angkinin ang sariling atin, mahalin ang bayan natin, dahil may takot ang mga dayuhan sa ating kakayahan tandaan nyo, 3 wars na tayong ipinaglaban...ipagpaptuloy natin ang laban...mabuhay ang pilipinas

just got to meet and witness Guro Dan. he's a living martial arts library. total legend

[@midnightmodder]

Here's somthing for ya! We are all climbing different paths through the mountain of life. We have all experienced much hardship and strife. Some paths are short, others are long. Who can say which paths are right or wrong? The beauty of the truth is that each path has it's own song, and if you listen closely you will find where you belong. So climb your own path, true and strong, but respect all other paths, for your way for them, could be wrong. - Dan Inosanto

He didnt teach me when i went to his seminar. He turn his back on me when i got a problem on one of his teaching. He also told me personally un washroom no picture taking. So dont take picture with him on seminar. He hate it really bad.

[@experiment54]

@@jaimetoquia3059 people take pictures and then use them to pretend to be students of his. Thats probably why he said no pictures. He wants to control the narrative. And who could blame him. As to turning his back on you, how many times did he explain it to you? maybe he was pushed for time with everyone else in attendance? some insturtucrs teach like that, its just a fact of life unfortunately. Others are way more giving with their time.

Wow this is some amazing stuff here! Thank you for sharing Dan Inosanto! My parents also lived through that era and sadly my Mama passed away but she told me all the stories about the Japanese and the Americans. Planes, soldiers, bombs all the fighting and the so many narrow escapes they lived thorugh.

[@raikey2176]

Best to do if you're a leading practitioner of the local martial art in a war is to hide and keep a low profile. It's not cowardice but self-preservation and being clever.

[@GuroBillyBrown]

Thanks for sharing Guro Marc!

[@Moxxieful]

Sadly, those teachers who where rounded up by the Japanese and sent to japan for their so called "Exhibition of Arts" where never to be seen or heard again, Filipino's can't be easily fooled, its just they are too friendly and trusting that others make use of that kindness and abuse it.

[@jaimegando9783]

guro inosanto should be given due recognition by the phil govt for preserving the filipino martial arts and continuosly practising ang teaching the kali it should be incorporated into the AFP PNP TRAINING and even in elem as a P.E class up to collrge it would be good for developing a better citizen because it instill discipline to the person this should had been done long ago by the govt. a book must be publish about kali and all its guro be given due recognition. all the guros may as well be the resource person in writing the book. this is a very important to us filipinos in our struggle against invaders.

[@warhammer1]

Nice to see a story about the parts of History you won't, can't hear any other way. My Grandmother had some stories also, having survived the Japanese occupation as part of the resistance.

[@pagsnamvayanradio2281]

Grand Master Leo Giron helped organized the armed resistance in the Philippines against the Japanese in WW2. He served in the US Army. So, yeah. Dan Inosanto's eskrima/arnis teacher perfected his techniques with the blood of Japanese soldiers, bayonets, and katanas. This anecdote is most likely true.

[@Flokoli1]

Hope you realize that hearsays aren't factual proofs right? And I'm not saying hearsays are necessarily lies but human memory and interpretations of events and reality aren't 100% reliable so taking these as proof is not a good idea imo

[@flyinglawnmower7457]

War is terrible

[@cruselove]

N this is how Filipino sword fighting got integrated into Japanese karate or sword style

[@StevenRayW]

The Japanese did similar things to the martial artists in Taiwan too. Taiwan was a Japanese colony from 1895 to 1945, and they forbade the locals from practicing Chinese martial arts while secretly disposing of martial artists that they viewed as potential threats. One story I heard involves Japanese soldiers threatening a master at gun point, injecting him with a tranqualizer, and putting him on a boat back to China. He ended up dying during the trip because they gave him too much tranqualizer.

[@jcreed09]

Filipino Bolo (machete) had shorter range than the very long Katana, wouldn't match against the Katana Kendo-style, that would be suicide but penetrate to get inside with the shorter bolo, Japanese soldier is dead - approximately same method Roman Gladius versus Long Sword. I don't doubt the Japanese Army killed Filipino masters, they did the same thing in China, Korea and Indonesia- martial artist were targeted and killed.

[@aidenfletcher6503]

In the jungle with a lot of Bushes and trees sometimes the shorter blade would be easier to weild and have an advantage over the katana.

[@carzoparazzo9698]

when both has a blade the chance for surviving are slow for both side in front combat.

[@soulave3936]

Still looking good Mr Inosanto! Martial Arts Slows aging a bit lol

[@donneone]

This is the first time I've ever heard that Filipinos were in the 442nd Regiment that fought in Europe during WW2. It makes sense since the 442nd was a Hawaii based regiment and all Filipinos know that Hawaiians are really Filipinos. I heard in other videos on this topic that Karate is really a Filipino original martial art. Maybe the Japanese captured those FMA leaders and took them back to Japan and forced them to teach other Japanese soldiers. Then the Japanese gave it their own name, Karate. That must be how Karate got to Japan.

[@dakomata9090]

They're teaching Karate and are introducing it to the public so most of the population will be discouraged to train in other Martial arts because it is deadly, you don't want thousands of Martial artists coming at you like bees. Don't underestimate how scummy humans can be

the local researchers of FMA here in PH like Torqui dojillo, Professor Felipe Jocano of UP diliman, Celestino macachor and James U. sy jr already debunked GM inosantos death ship claims as there were no records or other surviving testimonials to support his claim, in fact as James U. Sy Jr said (go to his youtube Culture Nurture) there were eskrima GMs who were imprisoned but set free by the Imperial army. Good thing here in PH we got The Filipino Martial Arts Forum private fb group where there are native Pinoy scholars to debunk kali claims like these.

During the World War 2, the Japanese thought that their Katana or, whatever sword they have, was superb. But they discovered how our Arnis or Kali Martial Arts, and skill in Bolo manipulation, is better than theirs. They don't want to talk about the superiority of Filipino Martial Arts openly.

I wonder. How good is Dan Inosanto really? I mean, in demonstrations he looks great one on one with a student. But, martial artists like Dan don't compete usually. Or many don't. And if they were in actual real life combat none of it has ever been documented. In photos of filmed. We have the tech to do so. Bruce Lee never competed. Thus he was never documented being tested. Vs. guys who focused on full-contact martial arts...e.g. American kickboxing, Pancrase....etc.). Or non full contact...but still competed and became state, national or world champions. Like Benny "the Jet" Urquidez. Bill "Superfoot" Wallace, Joe Lewis...undeniable.

Lets put it this way if lee was not abel to back up his abilitys then Joe Lewis and mike stone and many others wouldn't have given him the time of day joe Lewis mentioned how he was tired of none contact karate and Bruce got him interested in full contact thats the way they spared and joe went on to do the first contact karate match and it got the name American kickboxing he mentioned how fast lee was especially with his hands iam sure dan liked what lee had to offer life is a bigger challenge the tournament of life no trophy to be won .
