    I have trained in Jeet Kune Do, Tae Kwon Do, Kenpo Karate, Muay Thai, a LITTLE BJJ, but my favorite is, by far, is Filipino Kali. It’s extremely effective, no nonsense and is just a very well-rounded system. Plus it just compliment other arts and adds a new dynamic and understanding when dealing with weapons. My old instructor once said “many weapons, one mind”. Take care

      What do you know about Leo Giron Escrima system? Effective? It seems to be well rounded. Not sure how reality-based the empty hand mano de mano is, though.
      I live in Sacramento, so I'm a close drive to Stockton where the Bahala Na school is that teaches the original Giron curriculum.
      Thanks for any feedback.

    I started training under Batikan Raymond in 1986, first in Hawaii and later in Southern California where he and his wife Aiko stayed at my home. I made it a point to visit and train with him in Las Vegas whenever he would fly out from the islands for a periodic gambling and entertainment junket. I learned a lot from him and treasured every moment. One of my teachers, GM Leo Giron introduced me to Batikan over the phone before a trip to Hawaii, and Batikan introduced me to GM Floro Villabrille as well as many other old timers on the island. A very special person and a significant part of my background in the arts.

    kali is designed for war, to strike as quickly as possible to multiple enemies, thats why spaniards prohibited the filipinos to practice kali. This is why learning kali before was thought only for family members and very close friends secretly.

      Well restricting a local martial art or rather the use of it is commonsense for colonizers, look at the British they prohibit the practice of kalariparyattu in India.

    Great work Sir. I am a Filipino and i have trained in shotokan Karate and BJJ. Haven't trained in FMA though. I do plan in the future. All the best Sir! Im happy that FMA continues to grow and find more students. Have a nice day.

    Great video; love your content. My base is in Isshinryu karate. Trained in Shotokan & received shodan prior to getting shodan in Isshinryu. In 1995 met Grandmaster Remy Presas and participated in a few of his seminars. The distinctions I made in the small gap of time I spent learning the basics helped me get what was kind of like being shown how to create a painting, but with many tools, not only with brushes, the choice was mine, and creating many colors was also a possibility from just the few I had to work with. Technically I could see that FMA could give me so much freedom to do more with less. Practice has made my martial art so much more enjoyable. I love what you're doing. Keep up the good work!

    Very informative and interesting.
    I started as a kid in the early 70’s in Chung Do Kwan Tae Kwon Do.
    Earned my Chodan around 79-80.
    Then decided to go Japanese, trained Wado-ryu from 1981-1995 Received my shodan 1990.
    I liked the way Otsuka Sensei had incorporated his Shindo Yoshin ryu Ju Jitsu into
    Funakoshi Senseis original Okinawan based Karate to form Wado-ryu.
    Then switched over to what I wish I had found in the beginning, Seibukan Shorin-ryu.
    Seibukan just made more sense than any other Karate I had been exposed too.
    The bunkai of the katas was realistic and taught on a more open basis, as was much of the system. There wasnt the ego structure some senseis seemed to require and everything is powerful,fast and flowing. Plus Sensei Shimbukuro and his son Zenshin are really super people.
    The whole art seemed to explain what it was I had been doing in the others.
    I started in training Seibukan in 1995 and continue to this day, holding a Sandan awarded by Sensei Zenpo Shimabukuro.
    Along the way I trained in some Wing Chung kung fu, Yang styleTai Chi and Niseido Ju Jitsu
    ( where I incidentally started training in Arnis). That led me to Hock Hochheim and his
    Pacific Archipelago system, which led me to following up on whatever seminars I could get to
    in other Escrima/Arnis systems.
    Much like my training in Seibukan I found that Escrima/Arnis and Kali lent themselves more to reality and less to the regimented ( comparatively) orthodoxy of other systems I trained .
    Not nearly as stiff or “one way only” philosophy of training.
    Along the way I have come across what I called “The Grand Pooh-Bah” syndrome that a lot of
    the less than reputable instructors promote...it’s more about them than the art, but I still learned from that as well.
    Theres more but I’m just doing this as an introduction.
    I think you have a congenial approach and are very natural in your presentation, and I look forward to enjoying and learning from your videos and experience.
    Hai Sensei, nice to meet you.

    I really enjoy Aikido, but I came into with a background in FMA, so I already understood what they were doing and their approach. What Aikido did for me was make my techniques smooth vs staccato.

    As always, an interesting and motivating video, Ken. I would personally enjoy hearing your views on the more philosophical aspects of the martial arts you practice.
    Personally, I have recently been meditating on the Dojokun, specifically of Shotokan Karate, which I practice, as well as "ikken hissatsu". I think about how these concepts can be applied to my everyday life outside of martial arts, mopstly how the application of these tenets could have altered the outcome of conflicts in my personal or professional life. I would really enjoy watching a video about your perspectives and opinion on these topics.

    By luck, a year and a half ago I was at the park where Maestro Michael Mulconery has his class. At that time I was at a Tai Chi class and kept hearing the sounds of the sticks off in the distance. After the Tai Chi class was done I went over and met the Escrima group and was invited to train with them.
    I agree with your perspective of the art it has a great way to intertwine with any martial arts system. I will say Maestro Michael is a great teacher and friend. I'm very thankful for Being apart of the Tobosa group we have great training sessions.
    I have been mainly involved in Wing Tsun, Tai Chi and other Escrima groups through out time so this system is helping me tune up and add more skills to my martial arts history.
    I'll check out more of your videos.
    Take care,
    Salamat
