I completely disagree with eskrima originated in india and been brought by indonesian and malaysian. Geez! I am a filipino-japanese but i firmly believe that eskrima has long exist and practiced by "katutubo" or Indigenous Filipino and has been preserved by generations through generations as a martial arts not as self defense but as an art to kill. That is why it has not been thought to every Filipino because it is a really lethal art.

[@aninojacobroger]

I never seen india good fighter... Show me who is that

[@Flokoli1]

When talking about fighting arts styles involving batons and knives I always find it funny how people claim there is a pinpointed place or group of people where it all originated from when we know that batons are the most primitive weapon we used as a species Given that fights and wars is part of our history as a species since the beginning I find it very hard to believe that a small group of people would be the only ones to have tought about developing about methods of fighting revolving around knives and batons

[@jeyuharada4996]

@@Flokoli1 well that's you, however if that claim has been proven then i guess you will stick to what your belief as "hard to believe" right? There are authentic evidences in history that eskrima, arnis, kali has been practiced by the filipino indigents long before the Philippines was founded by F. Magellan and has been first colonized by the spaniards. Furthermore the above terminology eskrima, arnis, kali are some of the terms used to define Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) all though these 3 names are most known worldwide as FMA but in the Philippines it has a lot of names and it is depending on what region and ethnic group you are. All has various styles but falls into 12 martial forms or what we call dose pares and some 13 or trece pares and this varations has one thing in common a purpose of "killing" thus this has been the reason why the spanish colonizers prohibits Filipino's to practice the FMA during the spanish colony. Philippines has been colonized many times and went to war ,the most popular among is the spaniards using guns (muskeet) while Filipino's used swords,jungle knives and STICKS while winning the war.

[@Hustlelyf]

the thing is, it did not originate from "filipinos" nor did it originate from india or indonesia. it originated from the malay race which includes almost all of southeast asia and other parts of the world. just preserved in the philippines

[@jeyuharada4996]

@@Hustlelyf is that so? Can you show us proofs that it did not came from Filipino ethnic groups? Although malays has a big role in Philippine history but it has no records stating that the FMA has orriginated with them. The skills was developed throughout time because of the history of being colonized by foreigners. This has been long stated in history books.

[@JSRLPadre]

Arnis - Tagalog variant of Spanish Arnes, meaning Harness, or colloquially, Armor. Eskrima - Tagalog variant of Spanish Esgrima, literally translated as Fencing. Kali - Derived from the words Kamut Lihot which roughly translates into "Hand skill". Some other native words referring to the Filipino martial arts are Pakamut or Pangamot or Kabaroan. These are just a tiny sample of what different regions call their combat disciplines. FMA isn't just sticks and knives. From south to north, the people who would one day be called "Filipino" brought several different flavors of long sword, a variety of battle shield, so many short swords, spears, and war axes to the field. And if you consult the right people, you'll find these many weapons still being trained today.

[@KenMikaze]

Tagalog people don't generally use escrima as an art, but rather Arnis. It's the Visayans particularly in Cebu that uses the term, Escrima

He even explain how the suk suk traditional headscarf is used as a weapon not just knives, sticks, swords.

[@ConernicusRex]

I am a national silver medalist in Eskrima in both single stick padded and single live stick (and 4th in the country at knife). I have fought many Iaido/Iaiojutsu practitioners in mixed weapon fights. I can say they have some very interesting techniques but also have not shed useless techniques in order to showcase them. Outcomes like this are rare in a tournament setting as usually they are not in the top seats of mixed style or mixed weapon at end of day. Eskrima does on the other hand are simply taught to win fights, not perform kata and mostly always win.

In my opinion, it's not about which is better, it's about who uses it and how they use it,

In society no body walks around with swords any more. The art is beautiful and very dangerous, however Kali is still a useful art for modern time. Love the are. Use what is relevant! I teach martial arts and also self protection. If people want to learn self protection I don't teach sword.

​@@johnanthony6765I mean I walk around with a sword pretty often but that's only cuz I practice pretty often. Most people don't. I also don't really do it for self defense, more as a hobby.

3:12 Well it's no surprise that Bruce Lee knows Kali. His friend Dan Inosanto, who was also his sparring partner, is a Kali practitioner.

[@ronieniero8138]

Bruce Lee's knowledge about Filipino martial arts is because of Dan Inosanto, Bruce Lee's student, bestfriend, co creator of Jeet kun do, is a practitioner of different Filipino martial arts even before he met Bruce lee. It's Guro (a Filipino term for teacher/master) Dan Inosanto who introduced arnis/eskrima/kali and nunchucks to Bruce Lee. I strongly disagree about the theory of origin of arnis just because it has a similarity to other southeast Asian martial arts.

[@ecilatnecniv]

bruce lee's student? student/teacher rather.. because it was symbiotic.. bruce lee taught dan of his martial arts and dan taught bruce lee his own.. rumor has said, they met on a match and dan defeated bruce lee that starts their friendship.. fascinated by dan's martial arts, bruce lee started to learn from dan and vice versa..

The man at 2:40 is Dan Inosanto. He was one of Bruce Lee's top student and the only person to have received instructor certification in all three of Lee's arts. He's the one who taught Lee stick fighting and possibly the nunchaku. Some believe it was Fumio Demura who Lee the latter and other Inosanto since he was versed in the weapon before having met Lee.

I remember once that my grand father uaed to owned a pair of "arnis". The two sticks made from the wood called kamagong. It was full scares of history on it. Like, it has lots of small cuts/dents from knives, swords, and fellow inferior sticks. My grand pa says that it once owned by his great great grandfathers before the spaniards arrived in the Phils.. Grand pa even told us only the worthy ones can inherit such pair of sticks. Sadly it was hand down to my uncle who's house was burned down by accident and the arnis was never found since then. So basically "eskrima/arnis" was here before spaniards. It was really an honor for me as an 8yrs old kid back them (I'm 50 now) just to touch and able to hold the generations pride of my clan. Sadly it was just consumed by fire accident.

[@jajabinks92123]

I like the history in your comment, but they told u wrong, possibly because it was long ago. "Arnis" is a Spanish/ Latin term that means Harness. The Filipino Combat Bladed Arts Kali & Escrima existed before the Spanish times...so "Arnis" could not have existed before Lapu Lapu killed Magellan and before the Spanish Colonization. [ A Filipino trained Arnis champion competitor buddy told me this history of "Arnis"] The Harness that Spaniard soldiers put on to hold their Armor plates in place...so the term "Arnis" (Spanish for Harness....the harness that enables the Spanish Soldiers to hold their Armor Plates in place....the term "Arnis" couldn't have been around before the Spanish Colonization of the Philippines. ...never-the-less the bladed combat form existed way before the Spanish, but it was not called Arnis. During the Spanish Colonization of the Philippines (330+ years!) the Spanish banned Bladed Weapons. The kamagong / rattan sticks were common then. The Spanish would let the Pinoys use the "Arnis" (Harness that holds the Spanish Armor ) in their plays , re-enactments of Native & Spanish History Folk Dances & Senakulo. The oppressed Filipinos studied the vulnerabilites of the Spanish Armor by studying the Arnis (Harness) and would hit , slash, strike, stab the vulnerable un-armored areas like the thighs, inner elbows, armpits, throat areas even slashing the Harness (Arnis in Spanish/Latin) after pulling on the armor with bladed weapons hidden in nearby Cebu islands region to Luzon area during the REVOLT against the Spanish Oppressors. Even the female dance balancing the cup on top of hand & glass cup on head is a dance with a hidden fighting style. Im 53, Filipino American and lived in the Philippines and went to Highschool College there since my Dad, who practiced Arnis & Judo moved us there to his homeland to learn. One of my brother-in-laws is from Mindanao & practices Kali and taught me some history about it from his dad and relatives. I also have uncles in Doce Pares and a Church "uncle " in Syete Pares who taught my buddies & I. The combat art was still there prior to the Spanish ....Pinoys fine tuned it into dealing with the Spanish Armor and termed it "Arnis" since it was (well back then at least) was fine tuned to deal with armored enemies. It was fine tuned to fight & deal with Spanish Armor .Today's Arnis encompasses Alot since the sticks can be grabbed anywhere as opposed to bladed weapons like the ginunting, machete or short sword. [ " Arnis " did not exist before the Spanish arrival since it is a Spanish term which Filipinos called an improved fighting Kali / Escrima native style to deal with Spanish Armor. Spanish occupation was about 330+ yrs..then the Spanish American War, and the Phillippine-American War & the American Occupation & brief Territory acquired from Spain along with Puerto Rico & Guam in the Treaty of Paris on Dec 10, 1898. Then the brief Japanese Occupation during WW2.] Several Pinoy Pares told me that during the Philippine-American war Pinoys would attack with their bladed weapons in groups & would defeat their revolver & cutlass wielding Rough Riders enemies. Yes, sadly the Pinoys fought & were eventually Many were slaughtered & tamed with the advent of the 1911 .45 ACP Colt semi-auto firing big bore handgun with Quick-Change magazines. Reason why Alot of Pinoys were humbled and put away the learning of the vicious bladed arts. The Colt .45 tamed FMA . We were a very brutal killing race of people. Killing rival tribes. There's old late 1800's & early 1900s photos of Filipino decapitations by Filipinos rivals. Google The Vanquished Filipinos or check out old books at the Library on the Rough Riders in the Philippines. My dad & uncles always tell me to be wary of the gun when I have conflicts when I was a teenager & young adult Short sword is no match for modern day firearms. Disarms & knife attacks are good to learn. Hand to hand or blade to blade combat encounters still exist. Reason why I visit Philippines my cousins always got their .45ACP whenever we stroll. Of course they're PMA.

[@howiescott5865]

What a sad story, I was going to suggest that you put on paper the history of those sticks to keep on a wall mount. May I suggest that you still do that and get a new set of sticks? It's no substitute but it'll be the beginning of a new history with a history of the old sticks... just a thought my friend.

[@sazcxieo]

Spaniards was here for 350 years

[@shinryuzero]

Just want to point out that Kali/Eskrima is just a part of the whole traditional martial arts used by ancient Filipino. Modern eskrima has been toned down as well since its main purpose is for self-defense. Nonetheless, the range is not an issue in terms of the sword since eskrima has been developed using the rapier as a template, which is about 3 feet in length compared to a katana which is about 2 feet in length. With that in mind, the Kampilan is about 90-100 cm in length meaning it can be much longer than a Katana and a rapier and those are the words being used before in the art of Kali around the time it was being used in the Philippines. Hence if you're a practitioner, then the Katana's length will be no issue. But here is the thing. There is one form of sword technique rarely known to foreigners and even most Filipinos that has the same principle or rather, I dare to say more than capable in the technique of sword drawing. It's called Bunot Armas. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4WWknuYfLuIZ5I here a link to the modern demo of the technique.

[@benbeckman2262]

Yeah modern Kali is now intended for self defense but not entirely you can still use it to kill or injured someone but the way they are teaching it have change alot. i remember before when my Lolo is teaching me Kali he always say to me Everytime I make a move it needs to have the intention to kill every strike of the stick every slash Of the bolo every punch Of the fist every stab of the knife needs to have the intention to kill.

[@howiescott5865]

Toned down? That reeeally depends upon who your guro is. My guro taught only offence and counter-offence. Defense is your opponents problem. The Kali I was taught is for killing in short order with the least amount of movement. However, with the laws and the way the justice system works here in the US, it's up to you where you limit your force.

[@shinryuzero]

@@howiescott5865 yes it is toned down. If your Guro did teach you the Kali for killing then you wouldn't need any weapon in the first place. The original means of what we call here in the Philippines in rural areas (and I do mean rural) is that Kali, Arnis and other forms of what people, most specially in the west called "Martial Arts" that evolved from the original fighting style of our ancestors, is that a weapon - any type of weapon is just a means but not necessary in killing. And if you aim to kill, do it without the target even knowing you're about to kill him or her. One thing that foreigners, those who where raised in other countries or even so called Masters and Guro have long forgotten is that the filipino martial arts (As we now generally call it) is and foremost a means for surviving in the frontlines - alone and without weapons - against possible hordes of people that has weapons breathing down your neck. That's why old folks (Yup, very old. about 80-90+) who where still living here who was genuinely been passed the knowledge (The last one I know died about8 years ago, god bless his soul) did not even want to teach the old ways and would just point you to the modern Guro's, since according to them, by modern interpretations, the old ways are just plain assassination and can be called a coward type of style since general confrontation is avoided as much as possible and only as a last resort if you can't kill your target in a more subtle way.

[@jamessupan8673]

Iaido or the use of katana in combat are more scientific and more effective for long range attack, unlike the Kali who were more aggressive on close combat and short range weapon. Ps. Malaysia, Indonesia, The Philippines and other countries from South East Asia are all sharing their culture, including the martial arts. But Kali is more popular in the Philippines because Philippines is the birthplace of Kali. And like Karate in Japan, Kali had many names and techniques.

[@firesome11]

Well, when I was young, karate, judo, aikido and tang so do were more popular in the Philippines than Arnis. Simply Arnis is weapons based, deemed dangerous and also shared very rarely by the masters. While Japanese martial is so good to look with the uniform and belt colors and offers a status level. I trained with Tang So Do and Judo and never experienced a purple colored swollen arms and legs. The Arnis training was so painful. Tried to hide it from my mother. However, combining Arnis and other Japanese martial arts is the best. I prefer Aikido combo.

5:43 ADDED INFO: As the Spaniards banned bladed weapons to Filipinos, they trained in secret and mostly didn't use any alternative weapons at all. Instead, they cloaked their practice/sparring by using hand-to-hand combat and disguised it as like a tribal dance so the Spaniards never took it as a threat as they only thought they were just dancing. Pretty similar to the early people from Brazil which they hid they Capoeira thru dancing.

Eskrima also known as arnis was a martial art developed by Filipinos since a long time ago. Not by india, indonesia, or malaysia. Eskrima or Kali was originally designed for a full killing art but its modern form was reduced to self defense. The original form of Kali was so deadly, you can end your opponent with a single smooth movement to a dozen vital points of the human body. It's so deadly and effective in the past that it was even considered as a form of assassin art.

I'm sure that you've probably discovered this already, but Bruce Lee incorporated Kali into Jeet Kune Do through his colleague Daniel Inosanto. In particular the 2 sticks and the Filipino version of the nunchaku the "tabak toyok." Interestingly, the Filipino version of the nunchaku has a longer chain and typically shorter handles. Even though I'm Filipino American, I didn't know this connection until much later in life. You can see Daniel Inosanto together in Bruce Lee's "Game of Death" movie, where they have a scene with Kali sticks and the nunchaku.

[@coachrich_fight_thematrix]

I think it's not a matter of which martial art is better but which is one is "more practical" and suitable in self-defense, especially in this modern age (without using firearms). You need to actually use a katana (or perhaps any weapon similar in length) to be able to use Iaido. Besides, you won't see people here in Japan casually carrying swords around anymore haha. But Eskrima or Kali is another story; practitioners can use a variety of weapons with different lengths and shapes and are even taught to skillfully use regular items such as pens, umbrellas, etc. as weapons. (go figure). 🙂

[@dragonmihawke1630]

Kali which is also called Eskrima sometimes, is a dynamic martial art which has three modes of combat. Unarmed, knife and stick/sword type of combat techniques. It was an ancient Martial Art which was utilized and developed to combat the spanish invaders/occupiers back then. During World War 2, the japanese army was thirsty for knowledge and when they learned that there were Filipino Kali Masters, they hunted them down, forced them to teach them the core of the Martial Art and eventually killed the Kali Masters to prevent the passing down of knowledge to future generations. Unbeknownst to them, there were Kali Masters who survived the war and eventually passed down the books and the actual techniques to the next generation that followed. Kali or Eskrima is a Filipino martial art with assassination techniques sharpened and honed by Masters spanning hundreds of years. It's not something copied from Indonesia, Malaysia or India. It is our own, made by our own ancestors.

[@judeaquino9457]

Salamat Shin for highlighting our FILIPINO KALI. Not all Filipinos practice and use the technical Kali (the lethal application) as used by our Armed Forces in combats especially by THE PHILIPPINE MARINES. But Kali is somewhat natural instinct of almost every Filipinos in a fight. As I understand it, Kali is the principle of self defense and most of all THE SKILL TO COUNTER an attack BARE HANDED. Arnis (stick/s as used by Bruce Lee) is the weapon moved about using the principle/technique of KALI. So once you learn the principle of KALI you can definitely pick or use anything. The Bourne movies largely used/displayed KALI during scenes where/when Bourne is attacked by surprise. And Bourne was often attacked in such manner thinking that he is dangerous only when armed. Little did they realize that Bourne is far more lethal when bare handed because it's his instict for self defense__Bourne surely embodies the KALI principle that wherever he goes, whatever comes his way any time in any given circumstances he cannot be put down, rather attackers must be cautious because Bourne can counter their attacks and is able take their every strike as his opportunity to make his moves at his mercy because he can choose to just put one to sleep or make one breath his last. KALI is what makes Bourne 'sleepery'. Dangerous when armed, but coming in close contact with Bourne is deadly wrong move.

Eskrima is still prevalent in the Philippines up until now... My mom use to bit me with a stick during my childhood years. Sometimes she use the broom stick incase a wooden stick is not available...

[@johnmarkpetil9021]

In 2:43 that is the guy who teach bruce lee grand master dan inosanto

[@yanzm6713]

I find it funny when famous stuffs here in Ph is always being claimed by other countries. 😂

[@lochinvargeo]

The reason why Bruce Lee used Kali in Enter the Dragon is because one of his closest friends is Dan Inosanto, a Kali and Jeet Kune Do practitioner. He appeared in Game of Death and also one of Steven Seagal's movie Out for Justice where they both fought using Kali.

[@jap882]

Matt Damons Bourne Identity movies are based on Kali 🇵🇭

[@Trauma09]

"Which martial art is better" is the worst question ever existed

[@h13pub86]

Kali more useful for Offensive and defense attack At they allow you to used any weapon you desire

[@ernesthader1109]

Added info: arnis is the weapon system of bruce lee's jeet kune do. He's also the one the inspired dan inosanto to learn arnis as he didn't know about arnis at the time.

[@dwener9333]

Huh? Bruce Lee learned eskrima through Dan Inosanto. Where did you get that false info?

[@ernesthader1109]

@@dwener9333 , that was from dan inosanto himself. Earlier in his life, dan inosanto wasn't aware of arnis as his father being an arnisador during ww2 never mentioned it to his son. Most arnisadors who immigrated to the US after ww2 at first never taught arnis because they deemed it too violent and don't want to do anything with violence anymore. I am not familiar on why othe arnisadors decided to teach their art apart from dan inosanto's quest to learn about his arnis heritage.

Kali here in the Philippines is dying. No one is interested to learn it unless if the government insist to teach in college.

[@cayezara8110]

I like it both. They compliment each other.

[@spidey6077]

The Director and Actors visited and promoted Samurai X the movie in the Philippines cinema and it was a BIG success

[@royet8161]

i don't think you know that Kali also has the long blade fighting techniques. It covers long and short blade/stick/any weapons. Quite a complete battle system.

[@aldrich_leon8547]

And isnt designed to develop mental strength, or pcifism, but is designed to kill as fast and as hard ad possible

[@ac1455]

I’d say that most martial arts make sense for their context. Fencing will do you no good in a battlefield bunched up with 10 others facing a row of pikes, just as carrying a pike in an alleyway will do you no good if you get jumped by an assassin.

[@philipmiraflores886]

Guys stop fighting over which one is better. Both have the same purpose slash and kill your enemy first before he do you first

[@daisysejera4253]

Wow i enjoyed reading comments and video both entertaining.

[@jovenalasis4468]

Fun fact: Dan Inosanto is a US-based eskrima master and a good friend of Bruce Lee. He taught Bruce Lee eskrima. Dan also appeared in one of Bruce Lee's movies. They are very close friends that Bruce is the godfather of Dan's daughter.

[@carryroque]

All martial arts/sciences are good, that just depend who's practicing it. I hope most people use it to improve discipline, health, and for self defense.

[@benbeckman2262]

I love rurunin Kenshin or samurai x I use to watch it when I was a kid and the live adaptation of the anime is sooo amazing

[@comwarrior_79]

Remember.. the eskrima pananutokan pangamot was originates in Philippines.. and I object that eskrima was came from India.. as a cebuano we don't have any culture coming from India.. the narrator didn't use his brain he didn't even know our culture a cebuano culture.

[@natoisnazi]

Eskrima was long ago used by Filipino Ancestors to fight colonists. And it's pretty deadly to teach FMA to Filipinos.

[@blackwolf2036]

The advantage of Kali is you can use ballpen or any small stick objects to defend your self in any place or situation and advantage in close combat

I like the samurai tradition it makes me feel superiority at its finest 👍

Yea… one of bruce lee’s sensei is filipino, and is where he is thought kali/escrima/arnis. And, im convinced that, that is where he gets his speed. ESpecially on them nunchucks

[@mrvenz9139]

Well..i am used to eskrima likewise as a regular excercise of mine...

[@NeilSP]

that part about eskrima came from india is a total BS. Kali/eskrima original weapon is a bolo knife instead of sticks. Sticks are just adapted during spanish times to disguise it as a harmless stick instead of caring around a huge bolo or sword.

[@suboknamgatips7054]

I love both of them

[@icerag]

One of Bruce Lee's closest friends, Dan Inosanto, is a Filipino and a legend of Kali and Jeet kun do. Dan taught Bruce nunchuks and kali stick fighting while Bruce taught him Jeet Kun do. Dan is widely acinowledged to be Bruce's successor in Jeet Kun do.

[@tossancuyota7848]

nah that is the basic two handed sword handling techniques of tribesman here in the phlippines, its original here and it doesnt came from anywhere but it does has some influence from our neighbour malaysia, this arnis or eskrima as described by the colonist is a preparation stage for handling a two sword technique to make a mince meat of the enemies body , there s also a one hand style with kali that almost resemble an egyptian short sword , sword play this one s is for stabbing the enemy, and if your a boxer it may look like a flicker jab technique but with a shord sword or a dagger (kris)

[@schwarzedelweiss8308]

Kali/Arnis/Escrima or whatever they called it was born in the Philippines. I disagree that it is originated from India/Indonesia/Malaysia which has a rich ancient history that uses their resources to have weaponry which gave birth to their armed martial arts. Very unlikely to the Kali, which performed in farm tools and unarmed combat then integrated to armed version of it.

Eskrima is originally from Cebu Philippines used by lapu lapu.

At 2:50 that's Dan inosanto. One of bruce Lee's disciples and the leading authority on jest kun do. Plus engrained with many well known masters plus he's the one who helped teach Bruce in how to use nunchaka the right way. In turn Bruce taught him his way. He was also airborne 101st. Hes a master in philipino martial arts and kali, plus jujitsu, he learned Kemp karate from ed parker,he's just a bad ass individual.

[@1COMIXMAN]

Jeet kun do. Damn spell check

[@joewicker4277]

I have a feeling the guys who made this video have never practiced any martial art. The Iaijutsu art I study is nothing like what he describes. It is very serious fighting art.

[@jalen2287]

Bruce Lee used FMA in Enter the Dragon, and if you watch The Game of Death, you can see him fighting a Filipino Martial Artist Danny Inosanto use Arnis. Bruce Lee was intrigued by FMA that he learned from Danny Inosanto and Danny Inosanto was also a student of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do.

[@gamerrevs9404]

Kali can't be taught in kids or else you'll see kids walking around the streets making it famous causing many duels in any barangay call it "Pauso/Nauuso" and damn that was deadly, our ancestors had that forgotten culture before. Glad it is only purely taught to military

[@projectgenex8057]

Before this video I saw an advertisement that shows how to dis arm a person but when they tried to do it it's just humiliating 😹

[@maxkim7937]

i think, once we establish whether if it is a simple match/sparring with rules or a self defense/fight possibly to the death anything goes, we can have a good conclusive answer. a match with rules would probably mean that the katana would be dull, so as long as the practitioner can strike hard enough while controlling the distance, creating angles when they get too close and is able to use some hand strikes, kicks, grappling, etc., he should be able to come on top. however, chances are, the eskrima practitioner would most likely have the upper hand because they are going to close the distance without worrying too much about the sword killing them. once the distance is at their range, unless the the iaido practitioner is comfortable with that distance or can out punch them, they don't really have much chance. a fight to the death with your life on the line, would make the outcome much more difficult to decide since they are two very different styles and have a different approach to attacking. first of all, iaido is a "timing is everything" style. they will need to find the right timing to unsheathe. eskrima is a very fast paced, no gaps given style. they are two opposite yet very well developed methods. if we only allow sticks, then i can't see them winning since we are now talking about a sharp katana. however, with other weapons involved, that's going to make up for it. this again is if the eskrima practitioner can close the distance before he gets cut. the goal for the eskrima practitioner is basically the same in both scenarios, but if there are no rules, i just think that it allows iaido to bring back the aggression it once lost which is important to solve this. i am by no means a practitioner of these styles nor do i claim to know everything when it comes to these what if's. i do have some limited experience in martial arts and am using that and things i found out as a martial arts fan to draw this conclusion. please let me know what you think about my reasoning above(as long as it makes sense in a martial sense), it will only help draw a better conclusion to this VS

[@alkaizerplaza1342]

For me Kali is more realistic and a complete Martial Arts. Where you can use barehanded and with weapons. While Iaido, you only depend on Katana or sword and you can’t bring it anywhere or else you end up in jail helplessly without fighting.😄Without your sword you are incomplete if not useless.
