RAYA and the LAST DRAGON - Stick Fighting Like RAYA | Kali Arnis Escrima - Filipino Martial Arts

[@th.burggraf7814]

Your eyes are shining so bright when you talk about Kali, it's pretty obvious that this will be a life-long love affair. 🍀🍀🍀

[@nikolab.4065]

Raya is one of those few Disney movies that I will actually watch, just because of the FMA.

[@kalicenter]

I’m excited to see it! 🐉⚔️🐲

@@kalicenter pls do one on umbrella

[@DrSt-mu4zw]

I feel like th fma will just be in the beginning though. She’ll mainly use the sword

[@Atrivus]

@@DrSt-mu4zw At which point it will still be Kali/FMA. The stick, while effective in itself, also simulates the blade. If the heroine in the story moves from rattan to bolo, she'll be perfectly following the tradition of kali.

[@nikolab.4065]

Yeah, but nothing is more known for using sticks than kali. And design-wise, Raya's sticks actually look like sticks you can find FMA practitioners using, while other MAs I've seen using sticks use only bland ones without any markings (sometimes not even made from rattan). Just by looking at them, you can tell Raya's sticks are rattan sticks for FMA and not for something else. And Raya absolutely HAS TO use the sword, because that is essentially the point of FMA, get good with the stick -> transition to the blade. I don't really care that people don't get it and mistake the art for wushu or something, but it's better to show the true, accurate, representation of kali than lead people to believe it's only a stickfighting art.

"Make nature your kali dojo". I just realized that a lot of arnis practioners here in the philippines do follow this. I used to see a lot of them when I had the time to go to public parks here in manila particularly at the quezon memorial circle. Not sure though now especially when the general community quarantine was imposed here starting march :( Thanks again for your inspiring video. Yep! Me and my kids are quite pumped up as well by raya; can't wait to show them your video on this! Mabuhay po kayo!

[@EstoHechicero]

This video reminded me of when I was kid having Arnis classes in school. It reminded me of my calluses and blisters on my palms.

[@geraldopena]

Thank you for the drill. I have learned so much from you in my solo training. Thanks you for the FMA lesson.

[@mitchhamrick3117]

Thanks!

[@joeschmoe4262]

Raya is not the first time Kali was featured in movies or TV. Search "Kali in the movies" or "Filipino martial arts in movies" here on KZbin. It has been routinely used for ages.

[@missa-bj4kp]

good morning sir im so glad that even your american your so glad and proud of FMA

[@fabulousrobert6607]

I really like the Heaven and Earth strikes that you demonstrated. Strike high, then strike low. It’s definitely a great move to knock your opponent off his feet 🫣🤕🤒

[@jacobvernegaardhauge]

THIS IS SO GREAT, and great to se and 'feel' the enthusiasm

[@liuhaikuan7658]

This is so exciting, will watch more of your videos

[@rico_cavalierie]

Doing formal martial arts training I started becoming mechanical in my movements from doing forms by the numbers. Doing FMA has brought more flow into everything. Funny but my energy conservation has improved by having natural flow. There is no way I can over state the value of this.

[@michaelmahar267]

I made my own at Lowes, I bought 2 poplar wood sticks that they cut for me 28" x 1" and i have 2 at 20 " x 1" that was left over from mine

[@AmazonWildman]

I did similar but with 1" red oak dowels, they are tougher and condition you better than poplar which is very soft and prone to denting and splintering upon contact. I recently got the 1.5" dowel to make a pair of short studded batons for easier packing and concealment when I travel.

[@heartandreuoquiana8610]

Now I can do this in the cinemas.

[@kalicenter]

👍🏻⚔️🐲

[@pde12660]

One of the best scene I love in the Raya animation is the fighting scenes! Love the Kali and Eskrima fighting.

[@ryanpayne7510]

Was actually nightwing and his kali sticks my favourite hero and the show arrow that got me into kali when it first started so looked it up on KZbin video first video was one of yours been training in the online academy since then so going on 8 years

[@kalicenter]

Arrow was a cool show 👍🏻

[@nnayam3]

Im so excited to see Raya featuring Kali.

[@toxicrayons1222]

I didn't even know there was a new movie coming out with FMA lets goooo

[@kalicenter]

It’s a Disney movie. First time Disney featured specifically FMA!!

[@c.g.4598]

You are great your technique is so perfect👏👍🏾

[@cyndeebrock3574]

Awesome, thanks for doing raya breakdown. What fun, where was raya when I was a kid. Combining this one and the one that starts with a Redondo. A fun work out.

[@ygolot1013]

We also have sikaran and yawyan here in the Philippines

[@jeffreysantiago650]

Love it!

[@1sunstyle]

I practice out on the porch I call it the Covid special. I execute some Tai Chi and apparently there is a movie called Avatar that has Tai Chi and a lot of people saw it. Kids love the sticks and old folks like the Tai Chi. Sword is underdone in Tai Chi. You can learn Tai Chi and you will probably never learn how to fight sword. Some people practice "fencing" on the side to learn how to use sword. I practice Silat, Escrima, Tai Chi and Bagua.

[@mikkocruz7743]

Woah you're so accurate to filipino martial arts

[@sb19kennation15]

I'm so happy that they showed Kali in Raya😊

Learing arnis is like a family friend tradition alot of my dads friends know arnis .now my dads training me

[@michaelrishot1839]

I might try some of those moves tomorrow or within the next couple days with my mace and one double stick, or I may write some of those movements down, broken down for repetition practice for the pieces of the combo before really getting into it.

I went and watched the trailer and must say it does look good. I did see a lot of comments calling it a rip off of Avatar: the Last Airbender. I don't know what those people are smoking

[@carllubrin8518]

Is sikaran arnis still popular in philippines?

[@shadowphoenix8962]

This is great,but Filipino ma were used in the Bourne movies also.

Any hand at the top of the stick advice or don'ts, in your experience or anything you've seen before?

[@queen_loves_anime3959]

I always wanted to learn how to fight like raya

[@allanbautista4209]

I've been thinking about the tactical application of sinawali. Do you use one weapon to parry your opponent's attack then the other weapon to strike at your opponent?

[@kalicenter]

Sometimes. There are many applications.

[@allanbautista4209]

@@kalicenter I was thinking in terms of boxing where one hand parries a punch then the other one counters.

[@davehavice9640]

What is the diameter of the sticks

[@iliauliev8119]

Всё понятно . Спасибо.

[@andrel8243]

Do you consider it is a practical combo to integrate in our toolbox and practice often for futur usage?

[@kalicenter]

No specific combo is practical in itself as situations are mostly not predictable however, the individual movements do have tactical applications.

[@ianmcklatchie4390]

Does the Kali Center export sticks to Europe/UK?

We have different shipping prices for international. Email us from KaliCenter.com and we can help you out.

[@luciferangelicusdemonicus4070]

If you don't have a rattan stick use an iron rod.

[@pawepawe7274]

the same techniques over and over, as if you didn't know others, no offense, I learned the basics from your movies, but that's about it. You would have made a video with some other techniques, such as daug Marzecida na tik toc, shows about 30 techniques, and without offense it takes 15 minutes. best regards.

[@kalicenter]

Great, go watch Doug. No offense taken. 👍🏻

[@angelavillasanta820]

@@sopwithcamelus Thank you!!! Glad to see Disney's adding into the list as well. That's a new demographic

[@duanjisomar]

Take note bro, escrima is the palm technique. Arnis is using the bam or ratan sticks. When our ancient king ordered his right hand general to taught the indonesian and malaysian princes the art of arnis then they called it Kali. Im a yaro-tinik practitioner. Another filipino martial art that is now dying because of our ancient rules. Only the master can select his/her student. We use a very long slender sharp bamboo stick as the main weapin and three smaller sharp sticks as the secondary. The four sticks are used in a very fast alternate strikes. Some debated that it is the one that should be called escrima.

[@mitchhamrick3117]
