When i was young somewhere in my province batangas philippines we play and practice kali with the weapon called balisong 29 also known as butterfly blade and karet or karambit. Kali is avery dangerous style every move is to kill.
Just imagine, if you have prior knowledge of other martial arts before learning Kali, you'd be unstoppable with movements like flowing water and strikes so devastating that every hit is a guaranteed K.O. . 😮😮😮
The way Apolo Ladra explains the movement and why is the main difference; same as with Doug Marcaida. I've also seen him on a few Bobby Taboada videos.
I think his main point was to never preoccupy yourself with defense alone. And that makes sense. In most real life fighting scenarios the aggressor usually comes out on top. The idea that you can just defend until the opponent makes a mistake is pure fantasy.
Indeed, in other words, why go on the defensive when you can go on an intense offensive right from the start? Kali is indeed a thing of beauty. A deadly and dangerous beauty.
I believe Kali/arnis/eskrima are actually not an art of self-defense but offense. When you're being attacked there's no time for compassion, the instinct is to kill not only to demobilize the opponent (unless you're a master who has the excellent ability to control any situation). And I am not yet or will ever be a master of the art.
During the second world war the Japanese Military arrested more than 180 Kali Masters, supposed to ship them to Japan. Nothing was heard of them anymore. We believe they were drown at sea.
Just subscribed to your channel a while ago bro. Since you have alot of reviews and reactions to FMA-Kali,, i hope you have a now a better understanding on why our very own martial art.is not really into MMA Sport . From basic hand drills,to weapons,all are deadly moveset that has the ability to instantly end someone else's life instantly which is not allowed in MMA sport .our FMA is widely used for military training exercises and seminars.
Kali is the original of KARATE before Japanese modernized from China. Kali which is Eskrina using arnis and knife used by Filipino warlords thousands of years ago. Even John Wick can not compete on it.
Its called eye psycology too make your oponents making move If you knew the moves and style or technics you may knew the moves Its start on the fighting stands if you see the hard things to move teok won do they stands with the middle hand possision to make a foot or kick protection or to counter moves Thats make the eye psycology or mental state fighting to a mind movements
I practiced TraCMa and Alamid from my high school days and the basic concept is to do Defense and Offense at the same time. And not just a simple offense but mostly lethal.
Now i know the much better purpose of that exercises of arnis. We called it escrima. Here in the phillipines, thats "kali" was teachd in physical education. I learnd the basics when i was highschool, the single and double sinawali and also most of the time i sparwith my p.e teacher. Now i know that its like a cqc or close quarter combat. Iv thought that it was like a normal things or activities learnd in highschool.
@ Shin Smith! the first video that you watch was, the master are hiding something that they don't want you to see, as an audience and were only be revealed in actual trainees, while APOLO LADRA is the whole packaged with clear explanation.🙂
The style shown by this master is just one version of kali. There are many different versions. Like karate has different versions. Many similarities but also differences.
Well no art in the whe world that doesn't have a single version only lol,even practitioners of the same art doesn't have the same version of their art.
My family is the eskrima martial artist my father and I is the only shorin ryu karate and I have the same shocking reaction as u when my father shows me those killing techniques. Yes my father is Karate-ka and a eskrimadores
Kali is definitely is a combat martial arts. That is why its is not even taught easily just to anybody even here in the Philippines. Even my grandfather whos good with it refused to accept our government to teach it so much more with the male members of our family 😂... he is one of the veteran who survive death march during the second world war.
You can used Kali using hand to hand............I know how to play Kali but ours is different that's why we don't Upload our style of Kali/eskrima/arnis
Kali is to neutralize or kill, using by warriors during war, till now even news paper can use for self defense, anything u can use, if necessary, but the best thing is step away from problem, 2way, you die or go to jail, better use Jhon 3:16 (love)
I do Arnis and currently i have the ranks of high purple belt i use swift and precise strikes I have done alot of tournaments and I'm telling ya watching us fight is amusing and entertaining its speed and lung capacity is the key strength is secondary I train from the trainee of the grandmaster the actual grandmaster here in the Phillipines there's only one grandmaster of arnis but many masters. Overall Arnis is fun you guys should try it.
I lit you know that Kali was a Combat Martial Arts not a Sport like Karate, this was design to defend your self and kill your opponents , during Spanish and Filipino war also American and Filipino war. And also use this in street fight, any thing that you can find in your surrounding you can used that as a weapon , sand, stones, stick, papers, toothpick, mamy more.
you can't stay defensive using arnis/kali/escrima (knife fighting), it should be always offensive and counter offensive only otherwise you'll end up badly injured/dead. there's is no defense in knife or blade attacks but offense/counter offense only.
Kali is just like other Martial arts example: when your opponent throw a punch,that will leave his side head uncover. Now that's the right time to throw more lethal counter attacks. That's how kali works and also the Kali Fighting style is infinite.
Since you're into Filipino Martial Arts, you may want to watch these vids as these are part of the Filipino Martial Arts family: Dumog or Filipino grappling/wrestling: th-cam.com/video/qySkFW8q0Zo/w-d-xo.html Sikaran: th-cam.com/video/OjrdPgqNZEQ/w-d-xo.html YawYan or Filipino Kickboxing: th-cam.com/video/DPfFkVG4fJo/w-d-xo.html
No matter how flashy FMA is its only good in hollywood movies just like their chinese counterparts. We are hoping that there there is someone like the infamous chinese MMA beating up taichi and kung fu masters just to prove that these martial arts are just for show. Yes militaries uses this but you will not see them being used in real life. Look at those civilian videos that former MMA fighters tackling would be criminals and suspects.while if you see an FMA he will say to the would be assailant that wait I will search for a barbecue stick and someone who will shoot the video this will be so good in social media
pls be reminded that it would take years of training to internalize the technique. .no no for beginners. .they might get hurt. .it would not work for them the way this master did. .
uhm no, he´s not "fast" he´s on point in time and space, the art is about timing and positioning, don´t listen to the words through Karategoggles, there is no "block" in Pekiti Tirsia Kali, every defense is just offense vice versa, the video is deceiving, don´t watch the hands,- watch the stepping. Ever heard of sen no sen, go no sen, sensen no sen? That´s the timing, before, equal, behind, There is not one line there are mutiple which as he states can be bisected. The art is trigometry, the geometry of space, without space there can be no time, without time there can be no space. There is no emptyhand system, all systems come from the blades. Funakoshi taught to regard you feet and hands as swords, karate ni sente nashi means just what it says, don´t be the person to attack first, the reason why you root in sanchin dachi is this and the execution of timing. Karate starts with rei ends with rei, understand what it means and why it´s essentiell especially not in the Dojo. Seichusen is your centerline, find the others for your self. 8 directions in the 2D plane, 64 in 3D space, a thrust is a slash, a slash is a thrust, a push is apull a pull is a push. A tsuki btw is no thrust it´s a pull/push. No footwork no nothing. 3 is magic. Morote uke is bullshit it´s meotode mother and child hand, it´s chaining you hands. Mawashi uke is bullshit, it´s 1,2,3/parrycheckblow, gedan barai haha no jodan barai? age uke? drop the names explore the technique, make it big make it small, koshikoshi it´s your hip but what do you do with it? what about you solar plexus? find the triangles then understand the circles. Maybe that´ll help you on the way. Take a deep look at the symbol on his shirt, take a deep look at the taiji symbol.
Apollo Ladra is nothing special, there are way better FMA teachers out there. He's online and private classes are so over the top expensive like seriously? It's all about because of how they market there style. Stop giving attention to this guy.
Wala Yan sa kaalaman ko,talbog Yan pag ako Ang makalaban nila.13 Paris Ang pinakamaganda,Lalo Ang Kali,karati at 12 paris.pag Alam nyo Ang 13 Paris technique.
weee...humble lang..sa pagka2alam q kahit marami kang alam qng dmo pa namaster lahat un kulang pa rin..ang pinaka magandang art's sa lahat pagnapalaban iwan ang tsinelas at tumakbo na kaagad.. aq may alam din na pares ung nasa kanto bukod dun wala na..kaya sa may alam palang ng 7 pares patay nq sa 11 pa kaya o 12..heheh
I've been practicing Muay Thai for over a decade. This just blew my mind.

When i was young somewhere in my province batangas philippines we play and practice kali with the weapon called balisong 29 also known as butterfly blade and karet or karambit. Kali is avery dangerous style every move is to kill.
FMA mixed with Muay Thai and Boxing becomes even deadlier. It's a very flexible martial arts that can incorporate other techniques.
Just imagine, if you have prior knowledge of other martial arts before learning Kali, you'd be unstoppable with movements like flowing water and strikes so devastating that every hit is a guaranteed K.O. . 😮😮😮
The way Apolo Ladra explains the movement and why is the main difference; same as with Doug Marcaida. I've also seen him on a few Bobby Taboada videos.
Eskrima/kali/arnis was always used for a surprised attack. Its not a defensive arts..
Its for killing.. the faster the better.
I think his main point was to never preoccupy yourself with defense alone. And that makes sense. In most real life fighting scenarios the aggressor usually comes out on top. The idea that you can just defend until the opponent makes a mistake is pure fantasy.
Indeed, in other words, why go on the defensive when you can go on an intense offensive right from the start? Kali is indeed a thing of beauty. A deadly and dangerous beauty.
As what the Kali Masters always says, Kali is the beginning, what differs is on what you do next.
Tuhon Apolo has an excellent curriculum that anyone interested in furthering their combat development should eventually pursue.
I believe Kali/arnis/eskrima are actually not an art of self-defense but offense. When you're being attacked there's no time for compassion, the instinct is to kill not only to demobilize the opponent (unless you're a master who has the excellent ability to control any situation). And I am not yet or will ever be a master of the art.
Its both. A hybrid. Your defending (block/parry) then countering (offense) Special forces teach these arts to their soldiers for close combat.
good teacher!! a very good one! clear, simple and concise
During the second world war the Japanese Military arrested more than 180 Kali Masters, supposed to ship them to Japan. Nothing was heard of them anymore. We believe they were drown at sea.
They took the knowledge and killed the survivors so that no one can challenge imperial Japan.

Kali is a beautiful martial art. For me, kali was invented for killing and defense system.
I agree that guy was amazing
Thank you sir shin Smith he is really good

I was there When this video was taken. Had a chance to trained with Master Tuhon Apolo Ladra himself.
Now i know the much better purpose of that exercises of arnis.
We called it escrima.

5:23 onwards: I've seen this thing from MGSV lol
Kali is assasin used by killing the target faster..
Thank you God you Give this kind of martial arts to the Pilipino for self defense. Thank you sor for this video.

Bruce Lee was defeated by Filipino name travador Ramos in just blink of an eye the reason why Bruce Lee study Kali
fyi. they never fought. it was dan inosanto who introduced fma to bruce
Yeah dan inosanto was one who introduced kali to bruce lee, not trovador ramos
Fake myth
Fact:
Trovador Ramos is not a Filipino martial arts master fyi
Stop this old school hearsay nonsense
This is true, Bruce Lee was defeated by a Filipino.
The truth is it was recorded, but was not made public.
Cali also kwon's dance of death
You can also incorporate kali to your karate just of what Jessie Enkamp did.
Kali is definitely is a combat martial arts. That is why its is not even taught easily just to anybody even here in the Philippines. Even my grandfather whos good with it refused to accept our government to teach it so much more with the male members of our family 😂... he is one of the veteran who survive death march during the second world war.
That's a real eskrima👏👏
Mr. Smith maybe you should organize a sort of Tournament practice for these Masters and see if their teachings are really reliables.
Kali was designs for close combat for war.
You can used Kali using hand to hand............I know how to play Kali but ours is different that's why we don't Upload our style of Kali/eskrima/arnis
Happy New Year Bro. Good martial arts.. I subscribed to you.. Take care. Jesus loves ❤️ you!!

Taekwondo for long rage, judo for short rage and kali it will be dangerous.

Ecrama and Arnes are Filipinos Martial Arts..
it is remand of kind of Silat in malaysia ...
The sinawali form.
kali is use in military in Philippines
In Kali, one of the best defense is an overpowering offense.

Bow!!!!!
Kali is not design for defence, its intent is offence, for combat.
Former marine corps
Kali is an instant kill...defensed and offense at the same time... 1 to 3 moves the enemy is down that is the basic rule...
Kali is most dangerous than karate or more self defense... that's why
kali is not for sport or competition kali is a real combat to kill and protect your self. We/i trained kali using real blade.
Seguro pag may anak to na babae mahirap seguro ligawan Kasi matatakot ka baka masipa ka sa mukha🤣🤣🤣
You should practice both Karate and Kali. You will enter flow quickly. You'll get more responsive. It's like practicing meditation but with movement.
