Kali demo

[@GeeDeeONE]

to my eyes the best berformance of Pekiti Tirsia Kali that has ever been recorded... Biggest respects to Top Dog Eric Knauss!

[@reemalin]

My teacher, David Wink, another big guy (6'4") was Eric's main training partner and is also phenomenally powerful and fluid with all weapons including stick obviously. We trained in full contact sparring Ala dog brothers when I was an undergrad and he was a postdoc at MIT. He is now a director and senior investigator at NIH. I was blessed to train under Dave and hope to meet Eric one day. I've heard alot of war stories when they both trained under Geand Tuhon Leo Gaje together with other exceptional martial artists like Tom Bisio and Bill McGrath. What a golden era that must've been with all that collective talent training together!

After the 26Feb93 and 11Sep01 attacks, I quit that world and entered into FMA. The stick became my medicine. This particular video demo I watched thousands and thousands of times over training to be the very best I could be. My sincere gratitude and thanks to Eric.

[@GringoColombian]

I actually train with Eric in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Very humble and intelligent. And very nice. It's awesome training with him and I gotta say I have yet to get any lessons in stick/knife/weapon fighting from him. I am missing out on so much.

[@luist135]

nicely done. thats one of smoothest demos ive seen with a kali stick

[@ronin913]

@barimbo This is Top Dog Eric Knaus from the Dogbrothers.

[@tbskms]

They don't call him Top Dog for nothing. Great power and style! Ground strike(at finish) represents simultaneous knee and foot strike. Great Stuff.. Tom

[@konerath]

A outstanding warrior...technique and fighting --- everything is on the right place

[@Alessio.zucconi]

Grande Knaus! Il più grande Stickfighter di tutti i tempi. Impressionante.

[@cotidieinproelio]

You are lucky man! I watch his videos...I "know" him only by vids. People said, as u mentioned, that he is so humble and an amazing fighter such as a teacher. His power (with stick) is devastating, he has precision and amazing footwork too. Perfect!

[@PITTFM]

very smooth footwork and great form!

[@triggerfingas]

outstanding!!!! excellent form and technique

[@sgtwreck]

and thats why they call him top dog

[@HarperDearMilo]

great fluidity and great body mechanics. Awesome Bro! 5 stars

[@ytokijkla]

Top Dog is GREAT! Any one who thinks otherwise doesn't know ANYTHING about FMA. Needs Balance?....WTF! Only credible people should make a remark on this video of such a gifted man.

[@Veilliron]

Amazing speed and power, great!!

[@RonTonkinAcuraPortland]

Fantastic!

[@ventanakaz]

Great flow, high skill level. Love it

[@KaneLawless420]

My Idol!

[@Buyseech]

Nice work. Glad he finished stron in the vid, because the beginning is quite soft and slow. You should strike hard and hear the stick like in the second half.

[@goldestmean]

StarWars Kid's big brother really kicks ass

[@jamesinct]

now if we could all put that kinda spirit into our training

[@gampik5713]

Dziad z kijem

[@3gsummit]

@AimUser13 I know this. My comment was in response to someone else's comment asking why one would even do this type of movement at all. Barimbo, the poster didn't seem to understand the reason for my comment either three years ago. Formerly jtheathus

[@kwarnisplayer]

Top Dog at work baby! Mabuhay ang Arnis/Kali/Eskrima!

[@mamblydog]

"se dovessi rinascere"...rinascerei top dog e farei anche il postino

[@AntonioLopesMadeiraPinto]

Muito bom.

[@talon115]

Wow!

[@mac2flip]

nice

[@Yakzur]

Gnarly.

[@Ultradude604]

Star Wars Kid could learn a thing or two from this.

[@MCulpa]

@jtheathus It's Kali--you'll *be* the 3-5 guys.

[@AimUser13]

@jtheathus Dude... That's one of Kali's specialties... LOL.

[@gurojon]

why do that?

[@barimbo]

Do you have any clue who this is?

[@Raz0rking]

boa..there afaik 64 movements in kali (coorect me if im wrong). i know only the first 5 ans some bloks XD

[@rickc16]

a true expert.

[@thehastingsdojo2332]

Still hands down top dog is the best wood

[@unclebraddah]

@thaWarkid Pitting style against style only goes so far. And most "techniques" go out the door in a real fight. Eric Knaus has proven himself many times in true stick fighting competition w/ The Dog Brothers. I respect the PTK and Balintawak stylists but ultimately it comes down to the fighter himself.

[@Sitbatan]

danger

[@dayvidfranke]

Just bad ass... and I agree... if you want to comment, you should probably have foughten at a Gathering or two or ten. Top Dog is bad ass.

[@unclebraddah]

@thaWarkid it's apparent you have no idea who Eric is.

[@AimUser13]

@3gsummit Oh, ok.

[@AMAZHIGHenlima]

Cajamba....

[@RongenRobles]
