Hi Paul. Out of the tons of kali videos that I've seen, I like yours the best. I've trained in the Japanese arts since 1979. But I'm 60 now, and not as athletic as I once was, so a transition to Kali just makes sense. Thank you for doing what you do. Respectfully, Mark

This is perfect for my daily warm up. I like how you keep it simple enough for others to follow and perfect step by step rather than showing off and making it complicated, which I have seen on other videos. This one is my favorite series so far to build a routine.

[@STBRetired1]

I was a bit worried when I saw you starting out with big arm swings at the beginning. But, I guess they were just warm-ups for the shoulders cause later when you were actually doing the slashing movements I noticed you kept your elbows near the body. Better to take a cut to the arm than to the torso. Very informative video and great for a beginner like me to start practicing. Thanks.

[@matt25675]

Yeah I'm not sure what the point of that is? Are they gonna let you warm up before a knife fight IRL?

[@mr.potato3759]

@@matt25675 it's like warming up in your cabin before a boxing match, gym session or something like that so you don't injure yourself. Irl fight you don't care about the risk of getting injured from not stretching as there is a higher risk from the opponent/attacker. And the point is, why take a risk of getting injured when there is no attacker and you have time to stretch?

[@lizahquinn4985]

@@matt25675 Hey Genius, I like your humor, but seriously, you should stretch and warm up every day, before you leave your home. As my master told me, “Bad guys don’t wait for you too warm up, you have to do that on your own, every day”. Rule#1: Avoid danger- You warm up, you psych up, you emit energy and confidence, you less likely to be target of attack. Opportunistic criminals prefer easy targets. #2 If you get in a fight, you’ve already warmed up once, your joints are loose, it’s “Show Time”!! Go Gett’em Tiger! 🥷

Thanks for posting. I am a retired law enforcement officer, Obviously as a retired law enforcement officer, I do carry a gun (actually I carry 2 pistols) and I also carry a knife (Gerber Ghost Strike 100-300). As a law enforcement officer, I've been well trained in firearms as well as other various weapons (ASP. OC, Tazer, etc.) but never with a knife. In the extreme situation my primary firearm failed and was unable (or disarmed) from my back up firearm, I will resort to my knife. Again, NEVER trained to fight using a knife, I searched KZbin and found your video. I will practice your drills and continue to enjoy watching more of your videos. You have just become my personal on line video trainer. Thank you.

Bowtoyoursensi!!238 People don’t want to accept the fact that this is true fighting skills that can be used on the street. I would feel pissed off too if I were him. People like to bitch when ever they feel the itch. It’s sad but this is the generation we’re headed towards. All talk and no walk. If you want this to work you got to get up off your ass and work for it instead of sitting at home and demolish what people are willing to do for you for free on KZbin. Just learn the drills, learn the footwork and create your own forms while you practice make it fun! As long as your practicing you’re learning.

[@crazydiamondrequiem4236]

Brandon Walker because knife fights tend to happen without the knowledge of the defender. The assailant will get close and start stabbing you. Please watch Metatron's video about knife fights.

Hi Paul. I'm trying to better myself in self defense, and am fascinated with the art of Kali. Unfortunately there are no classes in the State I live in, so I'm glad I found your channel and online school. My question is: how can I effectively learn Kali without the aid of an instructor or anyone to practice with?

[@kalicenter]

Hi Ace, Are you in Kali Center University? I also hold events throughout the year for our members to train with us in person to aid your distance training.

[@JoAce33]

Kali Center I haven't yet, but I want to. I've been wanting to learn for a while now, but like I said, no schools are available. So I think Kali University would be very beneficial.

[@alexansari2138]

I like Kali fighting. I first saw it in use at an Indonesian island, when we were in harms way. The guy with the knife was every where with it. Later on I told my boss about it and she freaked out. I learnt another knife style and kali forms from a scuba diver friend of mine. Any way I like your teaching method.

[@brandonwalker7451]

I bought your beginners starter course downloads and been practicing with the kali sticks and the training kris sword. I just started on the knife. I got to tell you it’s a amazing starter course. I practice everyday for a few hours off and on through out the day and I love it. I’m also thinking about learning Muay Thai to go with my Kali. Practicing martial arts and self defense has giving me more confidence and ambition. Thanks brother.

[@midian1973]

I have really come a long way with your videos Jeff. Thank you for posting so many so often. Others have noticed me training and now I have a small class I am teaching. My hope are that I can get enough people to donate so that I can purchase your DVD that shows me how to teach better. My favorite is the sticks, but im really starting to get into the knives as well. Keep posting those training Videos and I will keep up with them.

[@cthawk6770]

I respect the technique. Teaching, footwork, off hand distraction, would be something I would suggest. To practice, I would suggest a stick of about the same weight, slathered in chalk. That way one’s strikes are recorded, so, the student understands motion.

I was ripping my dads tree. Lol. Man he went off! Lol. He was over 70 but still hardcore because of WW2 and his PTSD Which he fought all his life! Man imiss him. When I showed him some karate once I had been training hardcore until I was able roundhouse to my chin height. BTW I'm 6 foot 3.
