[@1963jafrost]

Definitely would love to see more empty hand solo training

[@kalicenter]

Fantastic because it's all coming my friend! :)

[@Nosferata138]

Love elbow strikes! 💜 Fun! Oh yea, perfect partner... Adaptable, focused, and patient

[@roymiller3033]

Mutual respect. Shared vision. Appropriate energy. Dependability. Empathy. Lively competition tempered by desire to achieve together.

[@cincomorales]

Im 36 now and i wish i knew this technique when i was 16 , I got my butt kicked in front of my little brother by a bully kid ! I got ablack eye, bomiting blood and scars that I still have to this day! Its really bad in Mexico! Thank you for making this videos im sure you are help some low self’s team kids !

[@jasondaniel1146]

To be as passionate and enthusiastic like your partner, in performing the drill and mirroring the drill!

[@rodmation6218]

Give this comment some attention

[@laskey84]

So far in my experience the best training partner is the one who shows up and is consistent. Everything after that is just a bonus.

[@kalicenter]

Love that answer!

[@richmondlandersenfells2238]

I rarely get a training partner honestly. But when i do, he's always older and a dedicated Martial artist who's not a shame to be friends with!

[@sir2life658]

someone who is consistent, patient, and driven.

[@kevn12003]

I trained with Richard Bustillo back in the mid 70s. I really enjoy your videos and appreciate your skills.

[@pryzmcat]

Nice vids, I used to learn from a good friend who has since passed on, he taught me some JKD principles and, well to be honest in a short time kind of threw a lot of things at me, but wasn't always clear about exactly what styles came from what or where. He kind of stressed escrima( I really only learn the six count, but he said if done correctly all the others would be, well, kind of needless??) and wing chun( basic things he said were suited to my abilities at the time and my physical abilities), some kali, but, I really didn't realize what they were until watching many of the excellent videos on youtube from some pretty amazing instructors, such as GM Baldissone, some great panantukan vids on his channel. Thank you for sharing this knowledge with others, it wasn't until many years later I realized how much he was able to teach me in such a short time, I try to practice as I can, but have a hrad time finding anyone to practice with. I feel fortuante to have had a friend like Johnny, he studied a bit at some seminars with Dan Inosanto, Richard Bustillo, Cass Magda and Fred Degerberg. He got into many styles, juijutzu, vovinam, ecrima( I think he had one more level to go to get his guro ranking, but his teacher Luo Nugien had left the state suddenly.. also aikido, eagle claw, and he received a brown belt in hapkido..I wish I knew exactly the terms for the things he taught me, but I guess it's not important, in the long run it gave more confidence in basic self -defense, and gave me something to do when I need to release some inner tension. Again thank you for sharing. Be well:)

[@skptk]

Thanks my teacher 🙏

[@PARR53]

energy and enthusiasm, a high desire to learn and get better. somebody that can train with you and not against you so you can both learn. They have to have alot of patience as well, Rome wasn't built in a day and neither was any Kali master or any martial arts master.

[@kevn12003]

A good partner keeps it real as possible while appreciating your actual level of skill. Have trained with people who get carried away and don't mind hurting people as they live out their mental fantasies.

[@1sunstyle]

I like a training partner with good moral character as it's known and loved.

[@mikeholmes7184]

One that can give good feedback​. Be a coach and then be coached, as well as, know the difference between 15% resistance and 35% resistance

[@kalicenter]

Absolutely!

[@BallisticPlate]

Consistency, Competitive spirit, Collaboration. IMHO a good training partner's qualities must include these elements.

[@kalicenter]

Nice Leonard. I agree ;)

[@alvinross1833]

A honest training partner. One that can push you without causing injury you (non-ego).

[@kalicenter]

Yes!

[@anushaananth9483]

Good job boy

[@haraldharam9334]

Kali Escrima Rave Party!

[@MysterionsChillout]

someone that doesn't cry when they get pummeled with aluminum bats

[@thexpto51]

I guess the perfect training partner would be "your twin" has in another yourself. But in that case it would mean that you wouldn't progress or slowly progress. I think that this way isn't the best too but instead you should work with every possible partner. Can't wait for the new videos Paul! Have a Nice Holidays!

[@kalicenter]

Thanks for sharing my friend!

[@KungFuTweety1]

awesome! more of these please! Happy new year to you and yours! thanks for the great videos!

[@kalicenter]

Thank you my friend! Happy new year!

[@yeetyeet1789]

Is it possible to train Kali without friends? I'm asking for a friend I don't have...

[@kalicenter]

There is a lot of solo training that needs to be done. ;)

[@zylynzamora7217]

Yes. You can do it solo.. i am a kali master also or arnis, eskrima.

[@m.schade2416]

Can someone explain the difference between Kali eskrima and arnis? :o

[@kenlee5509]

Search those terms.

[@MrSquirreller]

It all means the same thing but if you want to be technical those names represented Kali during different times, regions, and the specialization. Before the 16th century, the Philippine martial art was originally called Kali, then Escrima/Eskrima, then finally Arnes/Arnis. Today, the art is more commonly called Arnis in Luzon, Eskrima in the Visayas, and Kali in Mindanao. Another thing that makes it more confusing is that most Filipinos refer to Arnis as the system that specializes in sticks (since most styles that specialize in stick fighting have Arnis in their names like Modern Arnis, LS Arnis, Abanico Tres Puntas, etc.), for sword/knife - Kali (because of Kali Illustrismo, Atienza Kali, Sayoc Kali, etc.), for empty-hand - Eskrima (because of numerous family systems that have Eskrima in their names but there exceptions). Bottomline, don't get caught in the confusion and just call it FMA 😂

[@prafulchauhan6999]

Hi can you show solo drills due to Covid19 Appreciate it thanks Sufi Praf U.K.

[@charleshatten]

Im new to this but it makes sense. I have done some TKD and Iij BELIEVE he offers Arnies escrima kick boxing and he is 8th degree blk belt with proof from authentic Korean 10 dan grand master or higher. Also some Aikido...all in his system created by him. I had took defend myself in Mexico as a yellow belt 2 stripes preparing for my green belt. Control confidence are taught but it changes everything when in a foreign country and a group wants to jump you kill you rob you ......who knows. Bottom line said a prayer under my breath and was very nervous when intervention arrived....I asked myself was I ready the guys who interviewed said they knew I was ready...

[@funnyman1ization]

The perfect training partner is the partner that understands that this is TRAINING!!!!!

[@trevordrennan3515]

best raining partner: NON judgemental, equally or more driven, restraint. ego-less in sparring.

[@shadowarena]

I'm a simple student. I see a thumbnail of elbow strikes, I click.

[@miroslavfuntek1972]

Patience .

[@vidscolas7512]

very nice

[@mthornhill1961]

A good partner is one that with dance with you in the fight.

[@magadyak]

this is the thing you use when your hand is "checked" or held by your opponent. right?

[@Artahe]

To answer your question. A good training partner is someone I can trust, who knows my shortcomings and will help me overcome them, just as I know his and will help him overcome them. With a good training partner, you can grow as a martial artist.

[@kalicenter]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing :)

[@Redacted44]

a partner thats going to kick my ass. You learn much faster.

[@prospero6337]

Great channel.

[@trevordrennan3515]

breath in every 6 out every 6 youll last longer IN TRAINING. still purge diaphragm in application...

[@MrEMT4466]

ONCE YOUR SENSITIVITY AND SKILLS GETS TO A HIGH LEVEL, EVERYBODY GIVES YOU A GOOD WORKOUT BECAUSE YOU LEARN HOW TO ADAPT TO HOW DIFFERENT PEOPLE REACT!!!

[@asherboyer378]

In regards to the perfect training partner I would think that the best training partner is someone I know will understand my limitations and theirs. That way we can improve as well as be safe in our training.

[@kalicenter]

Great answer Asher!

[@ArztvomDienst]

Mindfullness.

[@johnschmalbach8243]

To my mind there are a few factors. 1. They need to challenge you. This is not limited to a more knowledgeable student but even new students can be challenging. When we perform drills we try to not stop and "reset" but keep going, since you can't reset irl. Due to this dynamic a student making mistakes can add to the challenge. 2. a partner who is not adverse to being given corrections regardless of perceived rank. Even experienced practitioners can make mistakes and anyone with some knowledge can notice them. 3. a partner that isn't afraid to correct you. 4. no ego. I think most problems start with ego. As an example the partner who insists on going light speed with Hubud or Sinawali before their partner is ready, with criticize everything, even if it's a preference thing but criticize them... oh boy lol.

[@kalicenter]

Hey John, awesome response brother!

[@johnschmalbach8243]

Kali Center thanks man :). we just do one thing different when we are training. We do the elbows you noted but follow with reverse elbows then knees. Then it's wash/rinse repeat.

[@geraldveronaagullo6758]

still iwant a karambit knife

[@a.j.sanders3067]

Solo training is important,but I also believe that you need to fine tune things with a training partner.

[@charliematic8580]

happy new year master.

[@kalicenter]

Thank you Charlie, Happy New Year buddy!

[@InvestingforHumans]

Answer to question: Shares the passion for martial arts and improvement, keep to help, no ego.

[@kalicenter]

Nice!

[@mannatomemories]

a good partner would understand and appreciate the importance of fundamentals and the repetition of the fundamentals.....

[@neaituppi7306]

There are actually combinations of good people to spar. But the combinations wouldn't mix in one person. The best sparring partner is someone that is open to doing anything. They aren't like; fuck kung fu, capoeira, Kali or whatever, that shit doesn't work. I like when I spar someone that doesn't mind going full contact. If I go into a class, I look at the other students, to see who I would like to spar. And I will usually pick the person that is the most intimidating to me. The one where if they started a fight, I would be on my toes. I will try and get to spar with them. Because I try to get a sparring partner that would be the closest to how I would feel in a real fight. Although I will do it, I don't really like to spar kids or women. There are women that could kick my ass, but I only like to spar them if they have a lot of technique I can learn from. And there were one too many times I hit a woman in the boobs, because I am not thinking that I am sparring a woman. Than I see a grimace on their face, and realize; Oh yea, that probably really hurts.. But I wouldn't mind doing some of that sparring that is seen in videos in other countries. Like the wing chun VS Karate sparring. Because it is as close to a real fight as possible. They are really hitting each other. They have referees, but it is less controlled than an MMA match.

[@jeff-ph9bc]

Great training partner = has control, considerate of others, not ego driven, wants to improve skills of self and others.

[@olivialim7541]

a training partner that knows a different style from you, that way you can teach each other and maybe combine techniques from both

[@vincentreynolds2127]

Fact.

[@808fdup2]

I believe that for the martial arts it is essential to have good training partners. I feel that good training partners should be for one open minded and two humble, for three willing and ready to receive instruction at all times, and should poses the ability or at very least the gameness to make training more realistic by drilling, then live drilling and sparring. Additionally, i feel that a good training & sparring partner will have feedback to offer "every time" weather it be positive or constructive. I dont think at any one point as a training partner that one should inject any sort of negativity for we are all in the arts to learn and also all have our own strengths and weaknesses. I think that a good sparring partner should know how to read his buddy or partners intensity level and he or she should be able to skillfully match that ability, speed, and style without over doing it and training at a 75% when the partner is gradually training at a 25% mark. With that being said a good training partner needs to establish their specific form of communication as far as how they will train together, especially if the two are strangers.

[@microsoftbighard]

Just different names on the same elbows, with respect to different cultures.

[@kalicenter]

I hope to see you at ITC 2018 (Instructor Training Camp) June 27-July 1 at the majestic Black Hills of South Dakota. Get more info here: www.kalicenter.com/itc2018.html

[@dds1930]

the fastest strike in arnis is a basic strike.... but you must understand you learn first the difficult strike before you understand the easy strike , arnis strike is very dangerous if you use lethal weapon you become a criminal and go to jail...

[@tao123chi]

someone to just show up...

[@veganwolf3268]

Perfect training partner? One that doesn't hit back.

[@reyeslancekrystopherreinb.4762]

Hey paul would it be possible to "spar" w/ one of your friends just to show the people how effective kali really is bc alot of people i know talk shit about kali i just wanna prove them wrong tnx for reading From a big fan😄🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@kalicenter]

Yeah Lance! You want to spar them or me spar them? I spar with my guys all the time. :)

[@reyeslancekrystopherreinb.4762]

Kali Center you spar w/ them of course😉

[@kalicenter]

WE have lot's of that coming in 2017! LIVE Streams too! ;)

[@reyeslancekrystopherreinb.4762]

Kali Center cool!

[@socks1949]

Open hand strikes.

[@aimanhasan3760]

Best training partners are the ones who, when spars, attacks correctly with no doubt or fear that he might hurt me. Most people tends to punch slightly sideways instead of punching straight. This will not improve the partners' blocking technique, hell, it might even leads to developing bad blocking habbit. honestly, if whats the point of learning martial arts if you are afraid of getting hurt? Dont burn me pls

[@DanielA-nl9nv]

Perfect training partner? Shows up, has control over his techniques, isn't overzealous in training, is more advanced (so he can tell you if you're doing it wrong), funny.

[@microsoftbighard]

If they had a blade, it wouldn't matter if you guard with the elbow as both can be cut. Lol.

[@willrenfroe5981]

The most perfect training partner is one who is there every day. One who does not bitch, unfortunately that doesn't really exist all the time. So I choose to improvise my partners with trees, BOB and heavy bag

[@shaunpendraig5234]

A Perfect training partner?? One who actually shows up. Most times I train alone and have to use my mind to create an imaginary training partner when I'm going through my drills. Has Pros and Cons.

[@marcos10911]

A good training partner should be skilled enough to help improve not by just correcting your move set, but how to act like a common brawler as well. Creates better scenarios.

[@kalicenter]

I agree! :)

[@mandoc3292]

He doesn't have enough yrs in kali.

[@kalicenter]

No such thing as enough anyway.

[@MrAlipatik]

ur best training partner are your enemies.. that knows kali of course. lol

[@davidtraver5227]

Someone who is as comitt

[@charmcaster6461]

looks like thai boxing

[@kalicenter]

Lots of similarities in Elbow strikes across martial arts. :)

[@Dragonflyjones67]

Kali empty hand does borrow technical aspects from different martial arts despite the similarities.

[@zylynzamora7217]

Kali does not burrow techniques to othe martial arts, its bcoz we only hav two hands n 2 legs thats why their are similarities n styles..

[@Dragonflyjones67]

Zylyn Zamora I beg to differ!?

[@mandoc3292]

Practice elbows strikes on tree makes u stronger.

[@carloslonga2015]

+Kali Center hello bro check your private messages.. ive sent you my flow video

[@kalicenter]

Hi Carlos, I checked out your video. Awesome stuff bro!

[@carloslonga2015]

Kali Center Thank you. it was all improvised.. Literally "Flowing" and I tried it to give it a more casual vibe, not so rigorously typical "demonstration" video thats why all the jokes and sounds in a "Vlog-dude" style hehehe. Greetings Bro!

[@saveonthe1]

Anyone can be a master on the internet. This guy is a joke.

[@kalicenter]

I have a lot of good jokes. We should sit by a campfire one day and I'll tell you some! :)

[@saveonthe1]

Kali Center the joke is on you. Your a fraud. I've trained for over 25 years. Anyone who subscribes to your bullshit is dumber than a bag of shit. Your bullshit meter is off the charts.

[@TchallaKilmonger]

saveonthe1 how so?

[@saveonthe1]

Anyone who is reading this unsubscribe from these losers and go check out the five closest schools in your area figure out which instructor and what environment is best for you and logout of these idiots. These guys are an embarrassment to the martial arts community.

[@oscarettoleite]

saveonthe1 You're such a looser. Mouth full of shit. Show us your videos then if you're so clever, dumbass. Otherwise shut your hole.
