Paul, many thanks for another one of your excellent and informative videos. There are many unqualified so called instructors on You Tube right now who are teaching the masses the martial arts disciplines incorrectly. It is really wonderful to have The Kali Center. Paul, I really enjoy practicing Kali and how you are able to logically integrate the didactical teachings of Kali as you parallel those teachings with the clinical aspect thru " Drills / Hand to Hand Combat / Weapons Training " in a real time scenario of workouts that you instill in me. Paul, please keep them coming along.
Greetings Paul thank you for your KC channel really like the way you break down the drills, keep up the great work, always looking forward to the next video or revisit on previously viewed ones, thank you for sharing your knowledge God Bless
Thanks for all your tips and video's, I'm older now 65 since I last did martial arts, 4yrs of Judo, about 4yrs of old school Shotokan Karate and I fenced. I'm disabled now from motorcycle racing, so I cannot kick as I use to. I have to use a walking stick to walk now, but I can stand on my left leg it just dies and hurts like hell, but not sufficient to stop me from putting up a good fight first. I am a Target not only when I'm out but at home too, as I have a lot of meds on hand. Still, I'd like to put up a fight at least, with what moves I have, new stuff I'm trying to learn, and using my Tomahawk style walking stick, which I'm trying to learn to use as effectively as possible from your videos and practicing. The real problem is I have no one to train with, so no gauge of how I'm doing in the real world. I am yet to hear back from any local martial arts schools, radio silence once they hear of my disability, any suggestions as you seem to be offering more programs, thanks very much, Ian.
That's amazing 😉 very precise tutorial I'll practice this. Thx Paul & keep it going. I'm sure I'll get blisters with this LoL! Just love the open space outdoors the best. 👍
Thank you Paul Ingram. Very informative. I do believe in slow is smooth, and fast is power. I would like to train with you Paul. I think you are a great instructor.
Could you show a video of a full strike on a Target and the recovery after the strike love your video new to sticks and learning a lot thank for braking it down slow really helpful.
Hey Paul. Thanks for the vid and the in-depth explanation, very much appreciated. I'd be glad to hear your take on standard drills and variations, by all means👍
@@kalicenter Hey man, cool👍 Well, I'd be interested in a ton of things😎. Better, I just provide you with some of my ideas and you decide, whether there's something you'd find suitable for a tutorial. For example: 1) I'm always interested in full body movement and footwork stuff. Like something on the subject of single weave in combination with the "\/" triangle would be very neat. 2) Also very interesting: A vid about variations of abanikos in combination with footwork - that would be really really awesome. 3) On another topic: A video about tails (or dog tails - I'm not quite sure about the terminology here) and the corresponding body dynamics as precursors for floretes in different variations would also be quite awesome. I really appreciate the effort you are putting into this. You and your family stay save and healthy my friend!
Great details! Very helpful now that hitting myself more than my opponents is kind of out of the way! 😜💪🤜😎 PS: Please be all my brothers & sisters in kali!!
Hey Paul. Love your videos man. I started practicing this yesterday and am just doing it slowly to try to get the mechanics right. When transitioning from that first V strike to that broken strike, it feels really awkward for some reason. Do you have any tips to help make it more fluid, or is this probably something I just have to get used to with repetition?
@@kalicenter thanks Guro, finally just finished single knife at KCU. Will there be any more lessons in double knife as in patrner drill/ applications. Thanks again 😀 Billy
Thanks for the video, Paul. For double stick do we not need to be as mindful for maintaining a 90 degree elbow bend on the strikes? I might be incorrect but looked like the arms are more fully extended?
@@GOFREAKMEDIATV No, the 90 degree bend in your elbow keeps the blade arc in front of your body and your hand closer to your body. It is not about protecting your ribs like boxing. The 90 elbow bend in single baston has been drilled into my head by my Guro. But Paul has surely forgotten much more than I know and I could be simply wrong, so that's why the question.
Hello Paul, i have a Question: Do you think it´s better and more realistic to try to land deadly hit on your opponent to end the fight (accepting light hits on yourself) or is it better to avoid every hit on yourself and just survive? Greetings from Germany
@@kalicenter Swords or knives. I asked because I heard that some people have said that you should end a fight with the sword as soon as possible and accept slight damage. And I myself don't think this is the right way. I wanted your opinion
Wolf here’s the thing man. Guy in prison gets stabbed 57 times. The coroner determined that out of all 57 stab wounds only two were actually lethal. So if you were talking about a sword which most blades are about 3 feet long, even a “minor” wound is most likely going to be severe. You can’t afford to get hit by a sword. That being said, the longer you mess around with a guy that has a weapon, any weapon the longer the odds get of you walking away, or even surviving that encounter. So let’s face reality here for a moment and say that the odds are extremely low that you’ll need to protect yourself from a sword wielding Samurai, and figure that they’ll probably be much higher that you might have to from a knife wielding criminal. Most criminals aren’t trained in anatomy, some are, but on a large percentage most are not. The odds are on your side that this person or persons really doesn’t know what their doing, they just know if they stab you enough it’ll get the job done. Now, we’ve established that the odds get worse and worse for you the longer the fight goes. I think Damian Ross from the Self-Defense Training System said it best, “There’s a big difference between being cut while your getting your ass kicked, and being cut while your kicking the shit out of someone else.” Violence is always one person doing the violence and one person getting the violence done to them. So if your running around trying grab the knife arm, defang the snake, parry and block..... what’s happening to you?
@@kalicenter Okay. I'm still having trouble with the names, spanish is obviously not my forte. I just learned that redondo literally means "round", as in circular.
So the wi tick or broken strikes. If the sticks are supposed to be blades, are we no longer cutting on that first strike? Yes we are hitting, but I thought you needed to pull through to get a proper cut.....
This is the most efficient drill to learn sparring. So dynamic and it trains all the right attributes. 100% nothing better.
This why I love your channel shows each part slowly and easy to follow and position
Simon Willis thank you! 🙏🏻
This is beautiful, “one right after . The . Other.” I love this strick
I agree 100% with this and never broke it down but it makes total sense. I'm going adapt this to my training and teaching.
Striking Tiger- Filipino Martial Arts definitely give it a go. 👍🏻⚔️

Could drill done with knives and would there be any practical application with this drill and knives
Hey Paul, good breakdown as always. Just wondering what does Abakada mean? Thanks 👍
billy dragon thanks! It means alphabet.
@@kalicenter thanks Guro, finally just finished single knife at KCU. Will there be any more lessons in double knife as in patrner drill/ applications. Thanks again 😀 Billy
billy dragon yes, we’ll be getting to those.
thanks like it!
I love the heaven 6....top guy paul 😄
I like it...more efficient
Christopher Dean 👍🏻⚔️👍🏻
Is there a slower version? Even tried to slow it down to .25 play speed.
Thanks for the video, Paul. For double stick do we not need to be as mindful for maintaining a 90 degree elbow bend on the strikes? I might be incorrect but looked like the arms are more fully extended?
bangpow00 do you mean bring the elbows in that would make it more practical and also covering vitals
@@GOFREAKMEDIATV No, the 90 degree bend in your elbow keeps the blade arc in front of your body and your hand closer to your body. It is not about protecting your ribs like boxing.

Hello Paul, i have a Question:
Do you think it´s better and more realistic to try to land deadly hit on your opponent to end the fight (accepting light hits on yourself) or is it better to avoid every hit on yourself and just survive?
Greetings from Germany
Wolf depends on what your asking about. Blades weapons? Empty hands? Firearms? I think the answers would be pretty obvious depended on the situation.
@@kalicenter
Swords or knives. I asked because I heard that some people have said that you should end a fight with the sword as soon as possible and accept slight damage. And I myself don't think this is the right way. I wanted your opinion

So if your running around trying grab the knife arm, defang the snake, parry and block..... what’s happening to you?
Is the first upper strike technically a redondo? And what sees more use and/or is more practical, those shortened strikes or the full swings?
Nicky Book no they are not redondos. The don’t go circular. They are both practical. It comes down to timing and negotiation of tactic.
@@kalicenter Ah I see. Thanks. I may have mistook redondos for broken strikes... Is the strike in the video a broken one then?
Nicky Book it is a broken but it transfers to the other side.
@@kalicenter Okay. I'm still having trouble with the names, spanish is obviously not my forte. I just learned that redondo literally means "round", as in circular.
My thumbs are blistered from my bamboo babies.
robert moses developing those hands of Kali! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
So the wi tick or broken strikes. If the sticks are supposed to be blades, are we no longer cutting on that first strike? Yes we are hitting, but I thought you needed to pull through to get a proper cut.....
A sharp thin piece of steel will still cut deep in this manner. We’ve tested it a lot. 👍🏻⚔️
do the same movements apply for the daggers?
Chiara Francavilla yes but a slight modification on the second variation.
@@kalicenter thanks for replying, I always follow you! I'd like to see a tutorial applicable for daggers, if you can!
Man this is so much harder then it looks
What’s that on your right hip?
A knife
I really have tried the Heaven 6 several times but just can't get it to be fast. :(
So by several you mean 1000? Also helps with footwork...
❤❤❤❤
It's sinawali :)
