Personally trained with guru ricketts and spunk in va beach ....for many years ....god bless...guru Ricketts thank you so much , you will be remembered and your legacy is alive in all those you teached, may peace be upon you.

[@צברארםארם]

Superb. I loved the moves, the clips, the discussion, the humblness, the principles the system and the man Rickets. Very well putt together. Whih I could fly over and train with him. Mind you, I've been doing Fili sticks for 30 years, and watching the tube. I love truth.

[@mrscottster1]

That's high level.... Beautiful !

[@kengrubb]

I'm fortunate to have met him a few times and trained with some of his guys.

[@johnnyblade1293]

Yeah this is a fighting art! It’s hard. It hurts to really learn it. You will feel pain! But it will be retained in your flesh, bone and marrow.

[@culturetoronto]

incredible demonstrations. I learned with Archie Luz in Toronto, wish I could learn more!!

[@NorthCountyAuctions]

Rip master chris Loved your teaching❤

[@Tax_Buster]

KI is a really good style to learn!

[@raycuizon8226]

I grew up in Pasil. Cebu City . Most of the notable names of Kali were practically my neighbors. The Romo's, Saavedra's, Marrangas and the Canete's. Growing up in the 70's Kali was not really known so I took up Karate instead. I could have learn from the Master themselves. Except for Cacoy Canete none of these guys have schools anyway.

[@spartanwarrior1]

there was no kali in the 70`s only Arnis or Eskrima. KAli is pure historic falsification, a term coined by Floro Villabrille.

Thank You for the video. Just subscribed.

[@JohnSmith-qy3nv]

Thank you very much for uploading. I have the following four questions regarding the weapons though (I mean on average): 1)How long are they (blade length, overall length)? 2) How heavy are they? 3) How thick are their spines? 4) Are they considered machetes, short swords, or knives? What are they called? Thank you very much in advance for taking the time to answer my questions.

[@ilustrisimoUSA]

1. Blade length is determined based on your individual dimensions... the easiest way to measure is the full length should be equal to the distance from your armpit to your fingertips with your arm fully extended. 2. Depends on the blade profile, no specific weight is required (I don't recall the weight of the ones in the video as I haven't handled them in years... they are steel training swords so they are on the heavier side compared to aluminum ones). 3. Again, depends on the sword... our style does not require the use of a particular sword or machete. On functional Sansibars they tend to start out around 3/8ths inch thickness prior to distal taper from the ones I've handled. The particular sansibar in the video above are a bit on the thinner side but I don't remember exact thickness as I haven't handled that one in years. 4. The swords being used in the video above are called a Sansibar, and they are a type of short sword. Other swords which are commonly used are Barongs, Pinute's, and any other type of sword/machete you wish to utilize.

[@gamebureau7705]

In lupao, nueva Ecija I think there's still a bladed weapon festival. I'm not sure what new forms to learn from there but I think this has not yet been archived I hope someone will before the old masters gone forever

[@k1n752]

what kind of blade they are using?

[@ilustrisimoUSA]

Sansibar-style training blades.

[@jamiealaniz2454]

@Rai Key - may gulo sa FMA discussion fb sa 2 posts na about the 4fathers episode. makita mo sa comments sino tinamaan malinaw si Gaje yung tinamaan, god aka Tuhan (corrupted to Tuhon) patama ni Foronda. Sa comments yung mexican student ni Gaje naghahamon sa tournament sa Mexico GM jesus orteza ata yun Basically ang magkakakampi Foronda Aguilar sonny sison macachor dan arinola lance velez isa pang event- Hindi naman obliged mag reply yung gumawa ng rant sa ibang page kasi confidentiality Puro ego boosting non sense lang si sonny sison and texas dude dan arinola - i understand yung point ni mumbakki sa illegality ng knife = kulong pero Paano nga kung yung rich thug aguilar may protection ng Tau gamma frat lawyers/liars, $$ connections to avoid justice for nic nielsen na ni-assault ni aguilar witnessed by gian villanueva?? may double standard and barkada system din yan

[@phph1701]

@Rai Key - sa FMA discussion FB, si jade gaje finally sumali haha (look @the members and mga nag like, yung post ng knife lesson sa kids aperture video) Nalalantad na kasi kulto negosyo ni leo gaje, as in, yung sa blackbelt video sa youtube, tingnan mo comments, 8 na tao nag like sa mga expose nina mumbakki foronda, james sy jr, macachor etc. Panahon na talaga ng debunking sa FMA hindi ganyan 10ys or earlier thanks sa The Filipino Martial arts forum fb and FMA discussion fb and youtube and also concerned FMAers like you and @Novus_Gladius may importanteng sinabi si Novus Gladius/raul (ask him) after GM tony diego death, hindi na bumalik ang KI CLAN like si Peachie and Torqui dojillo sa Luneta novus said iba ang KI CLan sa mga bisita na-infiltrate na kasi ng carlos hermanos infiltrators visitors si arnold na lang ang luma (except returning russel lim) sa luneta post 2014 and now arroceros park

@@phph1701 yun nga rin ang comment ko sa FB ni GT na parang nagiging kulto na PTK sa mga dapat sundin sa grupo. Paminsan magpopost sya, tapos konti lang likes dahil wala nang naniniwala lalo na nung inexpel si Tuhon Mel.

[@phph1701]

totoo yun lalo na yung barrage ng paghahamon ni gaje ng illegal na blade match vs foronda, nene tortal, mel tortal, mcgrath sa FB, lalo na yung dec2018 christmas eve sa bacolod daw, madaming FMAers sa fb nakausap ko like KC ice witnessed that, kaya totoo event, wala na blind followers na lang natira, wala ng convincing power si jay bataclan and mick alcaraz, pinagtatawanan sa The filipino martial arts forum fb, nagpost si alcaraz may nagcriticize kasi sa Cultural advocacy BS nila, totoo naman eh, hindi naman uto uto karamihan ng fmaers doon basta may ebidensya and saksi..wala na yan si jade gaje, jamie yancovitz, papadakis, binubura comment ko kasi totoo haha..tama si Raul ng KIOR, pen over sword
