Using Filipino Martial Arts To Improve Your MMA

Filipino martial arts such as kali, arnis, escrima and pakamut predominantly focus on weapons. Other than self defense skills, training with weapons can teach you proper body mechanics which can be added to more sport based martial arts like MMA and Boxing. Here Sifu Singh shows us how to properly swing a stick and how to translate that to Mixed martial arts.

One of the only MA FMA videos I have ever seen emphasizing use of the body. Right on point and congrats.

[@johnmassey6732]

As a JKD practioner for the last 17 years love this sick Singh is dead on in everything he's explaining

[@shadowlancer45]

I thought Singh is only good in chemical warfare. You're on point. 😁😁😁👊

Sigung.Singh puts things in a better perspective every-time

[@joachimcoonan6255]

I personally found that FMA training enhanced my attributes immensely for both MMA and JKD Concepts, without question....

[@thebaneking4787]

Singh is awesome. Even if he can’t fight or can his perspective is dead on.

[@criteriumgoat6525]

FMA is awesome and all, but if you're gonna improve your MMA, well, train MMA. Lol

[@SakanLam]

100% Correct.

[@seventysevenninjas]

MMA is mixed martial arts. It is not one cohesive system. Some MMA gyms maybe emphasize Muay Thai more, or BJJ more, or western boxing. This video is showing the benefits of adding FMA into the "mix".

[@mindovermovementbg3450]

Coordination and very good, applicable body mechanics

[@unlimited6884]

Mma is just mixed martial arts. If i train karate, taekwondo, kali. It's mma

[@Charlie_Tea]

Smh I can tell you all don't know the difference between combat Martial arts and sport Martial arts

Thanks sir 🙏

Great Commentary. How do you teach to use the subconscious? These are great techniques, but if it's a memorization process that us difficult to perform under duress. Ie during a real fight. Respectfully 🙏🏾

[@СергейМ-я2е]

Это трудно запомнить и не надо запоминать. Это работа на публику, в бою так ни когда не будет. Если применять так в бою, то проиграешь.

The idea of repeated practice and muscle memory is lost on him, that's how

[@urbanarkanum5316]

@@WingChunDomchoreographed repetitive movements dont account for random non choreographed attacks in real-time situations. This is why your dojo martial artists tend to get mopped outside of the dojo. No disrespect

A gift has been shared to the World....this was kept by our ancestors for centuries away from others to pick and learn as it is very dangerous to use when WW4 starts using it against opponents using axe and spears.

2:0 Ноги очень широко, значительно снижают мобильность и начинаешь получать по суставам колен. Из моего,чисто субъективного опыта. Движение масс тела очень значительное а значит визуально воспринимается противником хорошо, и дает ему шанс разорвать дистанцию.

Nah, doing it on right is hard

Yes Sifu Singh I never wanna watch WWE 😂

[@acronnody8115]

How to move left hand? The empty one? How will I move it? Thank you

[@KenMikaze]

depends where your foot is. If your left hand is behind your dominant foot, then you can do a cross.

[@acronnody8115]

@@KenMikaze thank u

[@crewcutter2030]

FMA can hardly be used in MMA, one its weapon based, power is hardly emphasized in fma since stabbing and slashing dont really need much power, second, fma doesnt really care about rules, anything goes so long as you kill the other guy. So you might end up with a weak guy who pokes break arms and bites participating in MMA, thats just gonna get you banned from the sport.

[@KenMikaze]

as fat as I am, I can only do burst attacks, thus, the constant foot movements aren't that effective for me.

[@unlimited6884]

Then lose some weight train your cardio. Simple really

[@KenMikaze]

@@unlimited6884 cardio or not, I can still break some noggins.

[@jessiesedillo6897]

MMA is a sport, FMA is to kill your opponent, how you attack to not kill your opponent?

[@KenMikaze]

then you control your strikes and grapple. Simple as that.

Too flashy. Not practical

[@KenMikaze]

I agree with the flashy part, but it's quite practical as your body movement will confuse your opponent.

[@johnwick9765]

@@KenMikaze in a real fight, is a waste of time to confuse your opponent.

@@johnwick9765 clearly, you haven't been in a real fight after all. You confuse your opponent so that he can't just hit you.
