JAPANESE Karate Guy Reacts to Why Karate Might Be Filipino Martial Arts (Kali)

[@sherylpachecogeluz438]

Kali is a dangerous self defense. When Philippines was colonized by spaniards Kali was banned, but filipino families practiced secretly at night to not be cought. Now it was practiced by our soldiers they do all the techniques (boxing,word,knives sticks(arnis)) At school we are thought arnis(stick fight) the basic of Kali.

[@eidokun]

They masked it as a kind of folk dance, our family practice few of the dances which has a lot of movements from Kali.

I wanted to learn kali so bad. In college, we studied a variation of Kali called Arnis, which is a "type" of Kali using the sticks. From the other vids of Kali i watched, the masters often say that any weapon used in Kali is seen as an extension of the hand. Also, Kali is used with the intention of killing, not just striking or incapacitating someone. Another one is that Kali is one of the most danger martial arts style that it is taught in Armies as a form of combating style-disarming and kill. This is the exact reason why you won't see Kali being used in mma sports

[@eidokun]

Arnis I think is the first level, Kali/eskrima/Arnis is practice differently you start practicing with weapons then transition to hand to hand combat.

[@johngabrielvillanueva3860]

It's a martial arts for killing and counter-attack... Most kali is being taught to armed forces, enforcers, and body guards... Not really good for something like tournaments and sports... That's why Arnis is invented as its variation

[@KenMikaze]

Arnis, Kali, or Escrima is the same martial arts. It's just a matter of nomenclature and some minor differences of application. No, Arnis is not the beginner's level for kali. Kali wasn't even known until some US-Based guru named his style Kali since Arnis and Escrima sounded too western.

Arnis, Kali, and Eskrima are different terms for the same umbrella of martial arts. Kali is just the more internationally-used term while Arnis and Eskrima are more locally known in the Philippines.

[@breyrey7612]

During WW2, the Japanese were very surprised to learn about this as well. When the Japanese soldiers ran out of bullets and had to resort to sword fighting, the Kali masters cut them to pieces because of the big difference in style. Most of the Japanese soldiers wounds were in their arms, wrists and cuts to exposed blood veins. The masters were experts in finding the exposed areas during sword fights.

You might want to look into the idjangs (fortified forts) of Ryuku (other southern islands of Japan as well) and of Batanes (the small northern most island of the Philippines). They're quite similar. During 1500-1600 there are also Wakou pirates (diverse pirates from Japan, maybe Korea, China and southeast asia) who settled in North Luzon back when China allowed Manila to be one one of the few to exclusively trade with China at a time when said country did not allow other countries.

[@neiljohnvillanueva2803]

I think it's more of convergent evolution of both Martial arts, Karate's goal is to defend, counter and subdue(knocking them out) the opponent. Kali on the other hand is to Defend, counter and kill(put them off balance to land the killing blow) the opponent. for both these arts, it converges in the defending part because defending is fundamental prerequisite in countering then comes either subduing or killing, this is where they branch out. It's a defending form that's natural, fluid, and easy to conceptualize even if both arts evolve separately. it's like giving two-person a spoon, both don't know how to use it. in time they would both arrive at the same way to optimally use the spoon.

Kali was ancient form of martial arts used by our ancestors prior to Spanish colonization. While the Japanese mastering the art of Samurai at this time, Filipino also mastering the art of Kali..

[@ScarecrowsSwords]

I'm a Kali practitioner and it is only dangerous as you make it. It a blast and I love the art. The blades and getting hit being a big part it tends to turn people off from it. You can practice safely if you take appropriate measures. We wear armor most of the time when we fight and the blades are dulled. Training with proper equipment makes it no more dangerous than any other art.

Kali is already there before Spain came to the Philippines, but it was outlawed by Spain so the Filipino hide it by using sticks or cane.

Also some interesting fact about kali/Arnis: A couple of years ago (i think it was in the late 80s or 90s, i still remember it making the news when i was little) Arnis/Kali was breifly banned by the PH governement from being taught to anyone due to an alarmimg rise in reported cases of stabbings accross the country, it was overturned shortly because of how stupid that rule was to begin with and that if they continued the ban on arnis that would mean they would have to ban all other forms of martial arts that uses any type of bladed weapon, which include fencing, kendo and allot chinese based martial arts.

Karate and kali are actually compliments each other. Symbiosis also apply on Taekwondo and kali. You can combine knife and stick attacks from kali on your upperbody while kicks from taekwondo on your legs. The beauty of kali is that it has the "killing intent" in mind. so it has not been nerfed or pacified by contact sports concept . Best and safe way to practice knife fighting sparring is make yourself a rubber knife or rolled paper and coat it with lipstick. My father is a master of both Shotokan karate and lakas katorse style.

Now i know from where come from karate... My father did not go to school karate but she learn in by her self..... And i relate the moves now when i see my father show her karate skill......

[@TheSilence1]

Here is another possible connection... In Karate there is a weapon called "sai" in Japanese. This weapon is actually not Japanese in origin. This weapon originally comes from Indonesia/Malaysia, where it is called tekpi kzbin.info/www/bejne/haTUc5uXmLd6bNk. The native martial art of Indonesia and Malaysia is called Silat, and it looks like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZ7FXn15r7hqjbc. It is widely accepted that Silat is the main influence of the Filipino martial arts. You can see the same movements and the same weapons in both...So it is possible that Karate was in some way influenced by Silat or Kali. We are sure that Karate began as a combination of White Crane Kung Fu and Naha Te. Maybe Naha Te came from Silat or Kali. We know for sure that the sai/tekubi did not come from White Crane Kung Fu.

[@jackjackyphantom8854]

I do see similarities between Kung Fu and Silat too, if u ask me. I think those connections might have something to do with ancient India.

Kali is not just designed for self defense but also to kill.. vital atacks.. the karate style of fighting is just like a part of it.. kali was used in the early ages (head hunters age)

[@magenelliepikrati8594]

I heard it long time ago but the main goal of that exercise is to kill enemies. I was afraid to investigate more because the face of the people exposed to that art were strong and fast moving.and it seems can do telepathy.

90% of hollywood action movies now use kali for their fight scenes, from the bourne series to the latest movie Dune. Check out Paul and Duncan's knife salute in Dune and watch thevkali master's salute in this video. Pure kali.

[@deancoronado4898]

Kali/Eskrima/Arnis (de mano)are kinda like martial "dialects" of the Philippines. My dad is from Luzon and it was generally called Arnis. This dialect happened when Spain banned bladed weapons. Where my mom is from (the Visayan region), it was generally called Eskrima. Kali is even further south like Mindanao, which may have been influenced by Silat. Indonesian and Malaysian are very similar sounding to Tagalog. Counting 1-10 is very similar if not the same. "Lima" (5) is the same in all three languages. So it would make sense they shared other things like marital arts and religions. Incidentally, Mindanao has a huge Muslim influence as well.

This is just an opinion of one person, but his type of claim needs to be proven carefully. It would be more fitting to say that both arts may have the same roots that's why they have similarity.

I remember when I was in Highschool we have martial arts class as part of Physical Education. But, because it was used for the fight and it is dangerous for young learners the Department of Education banned it in the curriculum.

Kali is kinda hard to master, cuz it mostly requires flexible joints,flow of movement and randomized accurate tough movement. Unlike Karate its mostly used a focused or concentrated moves & strength, memorized tough movement and flexible muscle. Kali itself is like a repetition wind or water movements with unnoticed surprise attack.

Check out some of Jessie’s other videos. He actually does two videos on to other different styles of karate that never really got promoted by the karate institution . As they were invented to be more aggressive. As the attacker instead of for self-defense. One of those men who invented those karate styles actually beat the father of karate. Funakoshi Gichin defeated by Motobu Choki. This fight came to pass after Motobu fought a western boxer and won with one strike. But in the Japanese paper the next day Motobu was featured as the winner. Instead Gichin was depicted in Illustration as defeating the western boxer. Which Infuriated Motobu… here is the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJe7iKhqdtmYjsk
