This is some pretty high level Kali. Impressive.

[@shoiabrigana]

+Turbonerds kali doesn't exist in philippines

[@iansinclair6256]

Turbonerds. Everyone in the Philippines, either knows it as Arnis or Eskrima generally. That has been my experience anyway. Kali seems to be more modern and not used much over there.

[@WildWhetstones]

Everyone talking shit didn't watch till the end to see the master. Incredible speed and technique, none of you keyboard warriors would last 10 seconds let alone a minute in a duel with him ;)

Andalucia has proof to see and visit even in famous caves it depicts Esgrima stick and knife as far back as cave man dwelling days in the form of cave art so please don't say "Oh we Philipinos were illiterate so we didn't keep records".

[@asderso]

Thank you, Heyrosa.... at the end of clip, the sparring between the 2 men is REAL fighting art !

[@fakvachayna45]

Hey guys, c'mon, these are just drills, your aim is to practice your moves and build muscle memory. This is not an actual knife fight.. You eventually go faster as you go on but i do believe however that there is no 100% bulletproof way of disarming a knife without you putting your life on the line.... You WILL get cut. It's better to have this knowledge tho as a last resort if running away isn't an option. I know guys below this wanna eat eachother's heads off to prove their point but then again, if you see a knife.. RUN like hell if you can... You don't know what it's like here in the Philippines.

[@Robert-rl7rd]

This is probably the only relevant comment on this page. A real Filipino who actually lives there. Everyone else are just fight virgins talking absolute bullshit

[@royvillasin5287]

i know what it's like back home. like once a week, there's always a fight in the neighborhood, if they dont use fists, they use knives, if they dont use knives, they use sticks(Olisi). filipinos dont use guns or trashtalk or a whole gang to fight, like here in the west. it is always a 1v1 fight. kids and women knows how to fight, so better prepare your ass if you come to the philippines.

[@BlackshadowE-6]

Better to know something than nothing at all.

[@TheYakasama]

el Rey de Oriente yes, i agree, in philippines, most dont use guns. but knives in neighborhood😂

[@acapulcogoldpablo8096]

You fight only as well as you train. Plain and simple.

[@bhigdikbret8133]

Galing talaga ang manga Pinoy. Mabuhay Pinoys!

[@KevUrbie]

Dude's right. Knife vs knife is rare. It's almost never a 'knife fight' but rather a surprise attack from someone who wants to take you out quick.

[@KenMikaze]

In the west, maybe, but it's so common here in the Philippines.

[@quanfa88]

Very high skill level with good technique. Remember, despite such training, it is still very probable one will be cut, perhaps fatally, when being confronted by blade-wielding aggressor. A co-worker of mine, who knows I study/teach martial arts, once jokingly raised his pen toward me, as a mock knife attack. I then asked him how much he knew about knife fighting. He replied "enough to know to use a gun." Sarcastic, but really the perfect answer.

[@rolandcook6028]

[@importfilta]

Great job, I had to come back and watch more! Keep it up!

[@birdman7929]

Great exhibition. It would take hardcore practice but it would be worth it to learn these techniques.

Excellent job greetings from Acapulco.

[@BladeObssession]

Great visual instruction video.

[@migsluck1]

You're absolutely right no one NEEDS to learn how to do this but it is a part of human nature to want to protect oneself and one's kin. What sort of bubble do you think you live in that you and your family are in absolutely no danger of physical harm from an outside intruder. You are seriously disillusioned with your wealth and career to think you are immune from this from ever happening.

[@joey349harry]

very good hand techniques. Buhay na buhay ang art. pag buhay ang art ibig sabihin Master ang performer! pag patay ang art sigurado patay din ang performer pag nakipaglaban! carry on!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@pandnh4]

Whats interesting is the sparring session. Both are clearly well versed, but there's a winner and a loser REAL quick, though it seems like it could have been either one at any given time. In real life? Either one could have been dead and that's that. What I take from this is, avoid a freaking knife fight.

[@live2film13]

thats what i found most interesting as well, each "round" was over in a second give or take.

[@generizze6243]

[@markaldrinelevado9995]

[@joestewart-paul3260]

I remember seeing the very same technique in the movie Taken when Bryan Mills saves that singer at the start.

[@royvillasin5287]

in the movies they probably rehearsed it a hundred times. this is the real thing, it's spontaneous.

[@segua]

Fantastic and fluid.

The best way to fight a knife attack is to run as fast as you can, plain fucking simple!

[@FallenWingZero13]

I am 100% with you. You have to learn something to protect yourself and your family.

Good lord, it's like knife fighting a scorpion.

[@unclebraddah]

awesome!

[@salsazenzei]

Nice control & Energy flow. Lets put some perspective to some comments here. In any system you practice, persistent training is an ABSOLUTE PARAMOUNT!!! SPECIALLY IF YOU ARE TRAINING WEAPONS. There is no such thing as OVER NIGHT TECHNIQUE. CONTINUES DRILLING AND TRAINING POLISHES YOUR SKILL. A profesional knife fighter always knows how to defend their weapon. These arts revolves around blades & impact weapon. Their movement dynamics are different from other arts. Peace out.

[@aptcmpasion]

great example of: don't try your knife-disarms against a skilled instructor-- only slow-motion-students (BTW, get a couple ShockKnives, for a major wake-up call, on ALL that...)

I'm an American who's lived 11years in Asia due to my job postings. I've lived and worked in the Phillipines....many parts of it. Only the very few affluent areas are safe. You said you've "been" there? Lots of Chinese have "been" to the USA....only to Las Vegas and New York....certainly not DETROIT. The most violent places in Asia are mostly within the Phillipines and Thailand, and certain parts of Indonesia. US?...it's not only dangerous in certain parts...but downright hilarious.

[@neriebestes7542]

Sa para sa akin ang ganyang uri ng pamamaraan ng pagdidisarma sa patalim ay mahirap gawin at parang hindi magagawa sa totoong sitwasyon dahil ang sasak ay mahirap salagin sapagkat ito,y mabilis at ang sasak ay hindi planado kung minsan pa ay di mo alam kung sino ang sasak sayo at paraan ng pagsaksak na gagawin sayo na pwede mong ikamatay,Sa totoong laban o sitwasyon kagaya ng suntukan,saksakan atbp. lalo't ikay dehado kapag ika'y nasa ganyang sitwasyon dahil ang iuong isipan ay nakatuon sa kung ano ang iyong gagawin at saka hindi mo ito magawang harapin sapagkat ito'y iyong lalayuan o iwasan na natural sa kahit sinong nilalang ang tao ay may paraan ng pag iwas bago paman matuto at matuto na ng martial arts at sa totoong labanan ay di gagana ang "blocking" o pagsalag dahil iba't iba ang direksyon ng pagsaksak kaya di mo kailangang manalag sa saksaksakan dahil di mo alam ang pwedeng mangyari base sa ganyang sitwasyon at di mo rin lang kailangang lumayo o iwasan ang saksak pwede o kailangang mo gamitin ang mga pwedeng gamitin sa paligid mo upang proteksyon laban sa patalim kaya nga ginawa ang arnis para sa ganiyang sitwasyon gamit ang yantok na para sa akin ay mabuti at mabisang paraan sapagkat ang tunay na labanan para sakin ay lakas laban sa lakas, bilis laban,sa bilis,o kung ika'y maliit at mahina kagaya ko kung ikaw naman ay maabilidad at mabilis ay gamitin mo ang kaniyang lakas laban sa kaniyang sarili sana ay naunawaan ninyo ang aking ibinahi o kinomento tungkol sa isa sa totoong pamamaraan ng pakikipaglaban hanggang dito na lamang at maraming salamat

[@unlimited6884]

Well pretty much hard to do, if you train in knife defense thinking that you won't get cut, then that's a bad mindset to have. You will get cut wheter you're a pro or not, unless you're lucky. If you were even in to a position where you need to defend yourself from an assilant with a knife just do your best

[@bobn1129]

Dude if the guy is holding his knive tightly, it will be hard to disarm it that way- first stance disarm.

[@Kncperseus]

Yes, but this is helpful considering most muggers you go up against are not that learned in such things.

[@joestewart-paul7181]

I will never make any comments and will never talk at length about countries that I have never worked in. If you hv never been there, OR you've only visited a small % of that nation, you have no idea on exactly what's going on there everyday in REAL LIFE. An Indian who's ONLY visited 1 city in your country has no right to talk shit or to praise your country, cos he hasn't seen the complete picture. And if this Indian starts saying things YOU don't like to hear, you'll get pissed off.

Would you really consider these techniques in a fight? I have no skills in this art but many seem very sacrificing oneself to me..?!

[@szepaklok4523]

are those knife disarms going to work at a very fast rate and what about the guy with the knife. he is not going to stand there. he will cut you several times.

[@Lamont24012]

I can see some of the pop like actions giving a cut to ur self while do it. Tho. That said. I'd rather know where I'm getting cut and know he's at my level now then guessing where to stitch up lol

just before the first disarm, i'm saying ''there's that totally loose FMA weapon-grip again''

nice ,,,

[@CecileSphinx]

Yapp, respect ya guys! Those are deadly reflexes and experiences... oh, fearless grab the knife, it will cut you the maximum xD xD xD We do swordplay and mediaval melee here, gladiatores demonstrate some pieces in "fencing with five mediaval weapons".

you don't have to be grow up in a society where you personally view those things. Even in urban areas people are proned to being attacked, especially women who get raped or people in fights etc. Those are just examples that people are reminded nearly everyday about what may or may not happen to them.

[@manuelschmoller426]

Martial arts was a spiritual as well as physical enlighten in all of Asia. It was adapted by all classes from Japan to Singapore and it taught discipline and self awareness of ones body and mind. The correlation you're drawing is irrelevant and a straw dog to you lacking any knowledge of this. Your comments are vague and uninformed for someone who seems to be smart person.

[@FallenWingZero13]

You think money and having a great job will keep you safe? What will you do when someone got a knife or a gun at you? It is very important to learn on how to protect yourself and your family. The Philippines is not the most violence place in Asia. I been there a few times. It's peaceful place and it's not mandatory to learn Eskrima. Also N. Korea is the most violence place in Asia. Did you forget that US got the most death count in the world? 95% of death was cause by random acts of violence.
