A nice video. I watch from Australia.

[@epone3488]

I really rate any martial artist which talks about 'distance control' and 'entries' at various distances eminently more practical than those who don't use this lexicon.

[@jessecapitani7342]

wise words, sir. I strongly agree.

[@livinginthetruthministries7094]

Illustrisimo was the most feared man in the Philipines and of course the blade is taught first

[@simpleman8644]

This is a great one!!! I’m a Balintawak guy but hope after my lvl 7 I can train a bit in KI with Guro Viko’s crew!

[@mrmushin1]

I am balintanwak guy myself. I did study privately. Which stage you at now

[@genebrohan2401]

My instructor met tatamg in 93 94 was taught the basic forms entered a Manila kali competition and came in 3rd place and lived to talk about it

[@trinidadraj152]

I think what your channel helps show the world is that studying martial arts is a form of studying anthropology.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Thanks for picking up on that!

[@SoldierDrew]

Latosa Escrima practitioner since 1998, cross trained in PTK, but believe Illustrisimo school of FMA to be the most combat efficient tier 1 FMA school. Illustrisimo school is Strongly influenced by La Destreza school of espada y daga.

[@gmee123]

Those look like great training blades. Would love to have a set of those!

[@rrm888]

Ang pogi ni Arnold! Yiheeee

[@RacerX1971]

Thats how the Escrimadors learned first but the Spanish outlawed knives and bolos. So the Pinoys practiced with sticks. Then people, many years later, thought it was a stick art

[@NoneMcNobody]

I Train Pekiti-Tirsia Kali and I have a huge amount of respect for Antonio Ilustrisimo's amazing skill, his legacy, and the practitioners of his art. There's alot of overlap between KI and some of the systems within PTK from what I've seen.

[@rhoelg]

Iyonatsi or Sayonatsi remains the best defense against any kind of bladed weapon.... Filipinos kows this very well :)

[@jlim18]

What kind of blade is Master Narzo using?

[@Gieszkanne]

From what I have seen most arts who use the term "Kali" are more blade orientated like Sayoc or Pekiti Tirsia for example. But using the blade from the beginning is kind of unique.

[@decampo123_nl]

I would recommend you reading the book Cebuano Eskrima: beyond the myth. There they discuss the term Kali extensively.

[@Gieszkanne]

@@decampo123_nl I am not interested in discussions about the "term" Kali.

[@shogunshogun]

@@decampo123_nl Thanks for the recommendation! "Kali" as a "term" seems to have various origins.

[@decampo123_nl]

@@Gieszkanne me neither, I just gave you a book recommendation. Read the book, it's very good.... Are you one of those that gets iffy when people say stuff about "Kali"?

[@dhalav]

It's not Kali here but Kalis meaning "blade" or "sword" so Kalis Ilustrisimo could be translated as Ilustrisimo's Blade

[@giovannikolimlim8655]

Illustrisimo kali must be taught to Philippines armed forces, especially the special forces

[@ricardogarcia3597]

Gusto ko pong matuto ng ilustrisimo dito lang po ako sa sucat parañaque gusto ko pong magpaturo pero senior po ako.

[@pascualluisbedia5660]

These techniques are siimilar to Mindanao Moro blade fighting styles.

[@IsraelIlustrisimo]

Ayus idol

[@giovannikolimlim8655]

For edge weapon like the bolo and sword, kali illustrisimo is effective, for sticks ,balintawak and lightning scientific arnis are good, for knife, sayoc kali is king.grappling with weapons kuntao silat is much practical than bjj
