- Machetes fights are not as common in the US as in other countries however the lessons learned from this type of practice can teach a multitude of skills to an individual seeking to learn life saving self protection.
One of the better machete fighting videos. Thank you for sharing.
I like the movements and offline strikes, seems very effective, much like the Dusack I have been learning in HEMA.
Judicial78 I also train HEMA, and yeah this is so similar to dusack/messer.
Not sure what you mean by that, it's a "device" in german longsword terms. It teaches movement and builds muscle memory so it flows naturally in a real fight. Ofc that's assuming they train in "ernst"
You missed the point, and I don't like your tone. This conversation is over.
He did not sound like I thought he would. He sounds like a white car sales man
Lmao
How is he supposed to sound? Do black people have a sound?
@@chrisscottdoes I actually find that in general black people have a distinct timbre in their voice that is definitely noticable. It ultimately means nothing outside of singing or voice acting perhaps
@Sean Macguire I though Dunkey was Black, that went well.
This is where drills like Sombrada come into play once both practitioners have a sold basic level of knowledge in the art. Sombrada when performed correctly emphasizes movement and at speed does build up the correct reflexive movements to deal with your opponents reaction and what can be applied depending on the range.
Just subscribed brother and i just have to say very nice technique! I build knives and recently built a machete from a piece of donated steel and it came out beutiful! For the handle i did a jute twine wrap resin over wood. I have been practising different moves with it but when i found your video it opened up a whole new world! Thank you my good man for being a good teacher, and I'll try to post a picture of my build if i can figure out how! lol
It looks easy and slow but in the real fight it's going to be fast
once again beautiful drill ,explanation and application ,,,,
Nice entry Guro. When I trained in the Giron system we called that Larga Mano retreat. Respects!
Similar to the medieval messer and dussack sword fencing styles. Except they are proven for centuries.They use the off hand for grappling, throws locks, disarms. And use key principles of fencing to throw more effective cuts
Brutal and effective. Defang the snake.
With a voice like that he had no choice but to master a deadly weapon 😅
Thank you for the video.
historical fencing with swords and knifes approves this video! :)
tactic and techniques on point. there is so much esoteric stuff out there about sword and knifes. so much grinch. but this is good thx for sharing.
I really like "footwork is life" never heard that before :)
Greetings from munich.
Wow
Great concepts training
I appreciate this ❤thank you
I'm not trained at all but I practice with machete, tomahawk n knives daily. these are some techniques I've came to use! kinda cool to see this taught, verifying I'm on the right track. Just got a new subscriber!!
Find a buddy, and practice, practice, practice. Shadow boxing and lonesome training is great, but nothing like sparing against diverse opponents.
Looks very simular to the kalis ilustrisimo style, from the preemptive nature of the attacks and foot work. Nice work folks.
Nice videos I watched both of them. Have you thought about countering with a knife and tomahawk
To the instructor: Have you ever been in a machete fight? If so, how many times?
Cool video. I still haven't seen a video showing something that I know is done in my country, quickly rolling a piece of clothing on your weak forearm to help parrying.
I just taught that in my combatives class this past sunday. My assistant instructor who's also a Marine MCMAP instructor said that I was one of the few civilians he'd come across that knew to teach the method.
That's mentioned in a fencing manual from the middle ages and is proven to be quite effective since all the way back then. Interesting that this is still taught, I like it.
@@TheLordArion I wonder if people wore capes for this reason.
@@pchwang nope they wore cloaks because it protected againts rain and capes because of the cool look
Nice n simple
I like how Haitians and my Dominican people use machetes better, they jumó around and get in your head taunting
You and make sparks with the machetes on concrete
I use a machete daily in my yard dam near but as a tool. never figured on sword fighting with it.
eh, I like the traditional one from Haiti. They keep it secrete, they're jumpy, and they do the real thing but still, good video.
Hey bro. Good video. I am.impress
Thanks sir 🙏☺
I’ve had a thing for weapons since I was a kid and have knives and a machete until one day I said “I actually don’t know how to use these effectively should I need to.” 🤨
Thank you for this tutorial. I’ll be training with my machete at home.
this intro is sweet
Irrealist... You wouldn't come back alive in a machete fight from my country
Looks good but will one have the chance to do the moves in real situation facing someone with a machette. I think the winner will be the one who is mentally stronger
Hit the hand!!!!
Someday I learned this kind of machete defense..this my dream self defense..im jomel from Philippines.
Where did you get those training blades? What are the dimensions and what materials are they made of?
Training weapons for FMA (and many other systems) are usually made of aluminium, or propylene plastic. There are several webshops that offer them.
The dimensions are usually made fairly close to the real steel counterpart... or at least the well designed ones.
But my experience is that there is more of a focus to get the weight and balance as accurate as possible, rather than measurements.
HEMA use other metals for their long blade trainers, but Im not familiar enough with them to say (I regularly train FMA, but have only tried HEMA once).
Be careful if you start working with these. The plastic swords are forgiving, but the aluminium versions can cause some pretty gruesome injuries.
They may be dull(er), and weigh less than steel. But they still are metal props.
after backhand cutting his arm why would you not swing back flipping wrist and swing to the neck immediately. My comment is on an old video, but frm minor Eskrima training, that wldve been immediate move. Am i missing something. Not expert, just asking, i knw the video is old. Thanks
can you do a haitian fencing drill??
KISS. Quick shuffle steps w/ no crossover footwork, and focus/aim for the striking hand, both for offense and defense. Fuck all the "what might happen" scenario BS.
Also utilize grappling in all situations...
Yeah, use jujitsu in a 5 vs 1 situation.
its better to learn with a machete, you'll always need one.
there is no longer a use for any fancy longsword or cutlass or katana in the real world, machete will live forever.
Good job…. Thought it was corny at first and was about to skip…but continued watching and glad I did…
Pay attention boys… this info might save your butt one day or one 3:00 am when your dead asleep and some stranger enters your bedroom…..sleep with it near …no guns .. too loud … cops and neighbors get involved … this way slice slice back to bed ….
i wish machetes were longer lol
Probaly the last Conter will let the Attacker lose his weapon and let it fly to him. Or he stops him at an unlucky point and the attack will still go through.
On the first strike why do you exit on your left side? Isn't it more dangerouse of the right one (it's much nearly to the opponent weapon) ?
`Hello thanks for the question. Based on how he is swinging moving to the let puts me to his outside line which is a safer place as it is away from his other tools such as his other hand and legs. moving to the right would put me inside the arc of the swing and that is a more dangerous place to be for varying reasons. However, either way the most important aspect is to move and there very well may be a time where someone just doesn't instinctively choose the right direction to go. This is where training comes in. I only show one example of many possibilities on how to deal with this.
@@drillstoskills2677 Thanks for reply. My guru teached me to make female angle step and male one in direction of the end of the strike ( so if it start from left i'll go to right and viceversa) because would gain more time before the opponent strike can hit me.
Great lesson. It is an approach but only one approach. It is important to train multiple approaches as truly the elements inherent in the individual fight will dictate some action. Therefore having an instinct response for other possibilities is important.
Depends on if both parties are left or right handed
good video all jokes aside
Largo Mano Arnis
love the vid but.. those machetes seem rather small compared to the ones I see in Puerto Rico
*bonfire lit*
Mejor que la esgrima colombiana no hay ninguna
Escrima es de Indonesia y Filipines
Perdoname pero la escrima kali arnis son los mejores ellos pelean con machetes cuchichos palos mano a mano es un arte martial completo tiéne un parecido a la esgrima de colombia pero con lo que yo eh visto en you tube tiene mucho mas.me gustaria saber si ahy una conection entre los dos arte
Perdoname si ofendi a los colombianos es solo una opinion yo soy boricua y admiro a los colombianos la verdad es que todos los artes son buenos y si tuviera la oportunida yo practicaria la esgrima. No saben que los Filipinos ayudaron a mexico en la guerra de espana ahorita no tengo los datos pero esa debe ser la connection entre la escrima filipina y esgrima colombiana no se pero las dos arte son parecidos.
Naked and Affraid
Great stuff.......... if the other guy is 20 frames a second slower
This guy is gonna chop me on my neck I don't what that to happen am going try to avoid that *no shit Sherlock 😂😂
Woaw I didn't expect his voice
Uk drillers listen
He was on naked and afraid
In the reality is another history
what do you mean?
@@drillstoskills2677 unpredictable, chaotic, with big rush into your face, not caring if he gets hit, continues to smack you hard at insane speed where you cant even see movement of his weapon...what you shown in the video is dance, not a fight.
@@tomasbisciak7323 so where do you start to work on training. Would you say any sport is very fast paced, unpredictable and in your face, not caring how you respond? If so then look at how everyone trains and you will find they all start with a play book or drills to build a foundation and then they plug it into live training. This is where they pressure test it. So my friend maybe you have a new way of training skill sets no one knows about. I am game to learn it!
@@drillstoskills2677 You misunderstand me, I agree with what you just wrote. The issue is you should test based on real world scenario, what you practice on should be median case, not edge case like you demonstrate on the videos. If you are to train, train against opponent that behaves as close to real life as possible. Otherwise you train for tournament fight....
@@tomasbisciak7323 I beg to differ training at a school is a marathon not a sprint. This is one video in a glimpse of classes and training that I have done in edged weapons over 20 years. The foundation of the beginning is sound on any level. A downward diagonal cut followed by a reverse back cut to recover. Skilled or unskilled anger or non-angry these are two of the most basic common cuts. Further more I state this is just a drill to give other options to look at things. That is what makes us artist. If I was teaching a short intensive course this would not be a drill for that. This is to give people stuff to work on. The thing that builds skill is practice, challenge, practice, pressure testing and evaluation. I also never stated that all these pieces where to be done exactly as presented. As I often state the drill is not the skill the drill helps build skills.
Here I see techniques against theoretical attacks. And the defense movements are at real speed while attacks are in slow cam. Just see a couple of vídeos of real machete duels and you will see that any attacker would perform a single full power slash in slow cam, but also they are permanently swinging their blades in their front pointing the sharp edge to you. You do not have real time to go around and hit his arm from the side. It's ridiculous!
Great observation. I think for the practice of learning this is a good learning step it is a drill. These movements aren't likely to be done in this drill but instead in pieces. I mention this in the video. Lastly all of these movements I have done sparring in real time. Not in a flow but as pieces when they present themselves. Hence that is why we train to see what we can do and what we can't.
In fact, lesson 1 against a machete attacker should be: RUN!. And don't stop until you have something solid to cover with, a wooden stick, a chair, or something resisting a machete hit. But before this point your chances run away healthy are too low to try
Shawn Marc if you are in 1,2,3 or 4 condition then you should take lessons about how to i.d. situations where everything can go wrong and then to run away while you can. if you are with your family, on a wheel chair, alone with a crowd of people angry coming to you, you should run on time. Then, these antimachete lessons could be useful, but only when you are 2 or 4 decisions late...
Leonardo, if you had practiced these defensive movements in live stick sparring, you would know that they are not impossible at all, and in fact not even difficult. So don't criticize what you do not understand.
It's a demonstration bud
Ais oi,22:👍🔪👍,😎,
🤣🤣🤣 they don’t find nothing else to do spending money on bullshit
Please explain what you mean. I am interested in what you have to say.
LOL. IF YOUR OPPONENT IS A KALI EXPERT YOU ARE 100% DEAD IF YOU USE THIS TACTICS.
We men are so brutal and savage why we have to learn how to defend and cutter head why not learn each other how to build car or airplane or others things.we cause this planèt a lot bad things.we are worst than the dinosaurs 😠😠😠😠🤕🤕🤕
Tipo de esgrima tan pero tan pendeja vengan a Colombia o miren video de lo que es la verdadera esgrima criolla caucana
I could take the instructor!!!!
Bullshit, as an attacker, if I see you also holding a machete I not going to fight like that. This is not real
Real easy argument. Its not about what you would do its about what attackers would do. TH-cam is an easy resource to see how a real attacker would attack.
this is bolo knife fighting
Un ataque de machete nunca es en camara lenta jajaja . Vende humo
This is simply rehearsing over choreographed dance routines not knife fighting....
Great observation. It is not knife fighting it is Machete Combat. How do you get better at anything dynamic other that to practice dynamic drills. Take any sport. Is rehearsing pre-arranged moves in a play make it invalid on the field against an actual opposing team or does it give a higher opportunity for success?
"knife fighting" is a generic term for combative engagements using edged weapons other than axes, swords etc. A The fact you started your justification with a straw man argument is very telling. You may also want to look up the actual definition of "machete" seeing as though you are expert in it's employment and stated machete fighting cannot be described or classed as a knife fight when in fact a machete is defined as "a large heavy knife". But hey what would I know right?
Machete
noun
1. a large heavy knife used especially in Latin-American countries in cutting sugarcane and clearing underbrush and as a weapon.
Hmmm funny that isn't it?????
There is nothing "dynamic" about these drills. Some call them flow drills. Any templated chain of responses is neither dynamic nor flowing. The whole "he does this, so you do that, then he will do this then you do that then you finish him is fantasy and ineffective. Comparing split second moves that maim or end a life in an instant and large gross movements of elements of a sporting team is flawed logic. To think what applies to any sport necessarily applies to combat is dangerous. You can talk it up all you want. My statement stands this is not an effective way to learn to fight. Period.
Drills To Skills Don't bother arguing with an internet warrior
Mr Ward I am sure Drill To Skills can make up his own mind if he wants to discuss/debate it with me. It has zero to do with you and I am sure he certainly doesn't need your "help".
Now lets you and me have a chat:
1. Have you never questioned or disagreed with anything you have ever seen on TH-cam?
2. Have you never commented to critique or state you disagreed with anything you have seen on TH-cam?
3. Does disagreeing with something and stating it make you a "internet warrior"?
I would say you have in your life time critiqued or criticized things you have seen in real life, on the television or on TH-cam. That makes you a hypocrite.
TH-cam is a platform where content is placed in the public domain. That means it is open to comment be that praise or criticism. People wh cannot take criticism shouldn't post content on TH-cam. Drills To Skills doesn't have to reply to my comment. I have zero issues with that. So far as me disagreeing with him wouldn't the world be a boring, unchanging and stagnant place if everyone agreed on everything?
Now I am willing to justify my statements and opinion in a cohesive discussion based on experience learning and teaching edged weapon fighting. I do teach using moderate and heavy sparring and realistic scenarios over choreographed templates. I was taught using templates. Once you go to realistic free play scenarios it is largely useless and often counter productive as students try to achieve the template in sequence despite the threats actions changing. In short under duress they resort to a chain of techniques rather than constantly assessing and adapting to the evolving fight. The other thing you can NEVER assume is that if you apply a certain technique the threat will react in certain way such as in this video where he says a cut to the forearm WILL result in the threat retracting their arm. There are plenty of videos on YT showing guys cut/stabbed who continue to close and fight. There are plenty of videos of cut/stabbed people resorting to grappling rather than back off.
As far as internet warriors go whilst I have not been in any real knife fights what I did do was serve almost 3 decades and am a retired combat veteran. Does that make me an "internet warrior". Care to share with me your experience in battle hypocrite?
thanks your opinion is great. So if drilling isn't important how does anyone doing anything that requires spontaneous action to an action taken by an opponent? Definitions of what a machete is called in the dictionary is not the point. The drill is the drill but the idea is that it teaches many valuable skills. I have worked several aspects of these drills in sparing successfully. However you don't know that so this is a great debate from the stand point that you are watching a video and have not tried to apply any of the movements.
No good I’m better than this,if any one is interested more faster and better protection
Added to my playlist of THINGS THAT'LL GET ME KILLED.
Has this "instructor" ever even witnessed a REAL machete fight??
I live in the Caribbean,.and it ain't nothin' like the BS shown in this video.
His arm, or head would be on the ground in under 4s.
KMFT.
@@jonathanoliveros7537 Shut your fat ass up, you would be out of breath by the first swing.
@@natturner1619 Pack your fighters and send em in Visaya and tell em that lol
If its already battle proven since WW2 and has been adapted by Military, then it isn't as useless as you think.
repetitious
You never know what an attacker is going to do in real life and the Filipinos learnt wrong due to lack of understanding but then they were unsophiticated natives and couldnt read or write either ...
??? Wait I'm confused. If they didn't know what they were talking about, then how come their arts survived and military while including law enforcement use and incorporate arnis/kali/eskrima in their training? Usually if something doesn't work they discard it, but so far I've seen some pretty good usage of it, both in seeing people spar it and use it in real life.
Cirezel bullshit allways lives on like fairy tales is santa still about ?
ACERO ANDALUZ ANDALUCIAN STEEL alright mister.... You should be ashamed of yourself to for making negative comments about another culture! Some of the greatest people in the world can't read or write but have leant themselves to great things! It's like saying...." those dumbass farmers!" with your mouth full of food and not bullshit!
ACERO ANDALUZ ANDALUCIAN STEEL you misspelled "unlike"
leoangelomarquez i completely agree my friend....this guy's just a know nothing douche bag! If anyone out there has and loves their butterfly knife...they should look up its origins because the manila folder came from one place!
This guys weak
