I trained in a Muay Thai gym. It was one of the most dangerous and vicious modes of combat I had experienced. A guy joined the gym for a while. He was toying with all of us. He was well versed in Kali Filipino Arts. I asked him, "Jason, how can you pick apart your opponents attacks so easily?" he said "When you spar with the sticks which move 32mph, and which represents swords/machete's, then everyones hands appear to move in slow motion". So we all appeared to him to move in slow motion, and he knew the hand drills well. He trained every day. He died many years later from Crohn's disease, but I will never forget how calm he was as he picked apart our attacks and countered effortlessly almost with gentleness, but with precision. RIP Jason.
because FMA drills are for the reflexes.. as you can see, the drills may not happen in real situation but can effectively train you to have faster reflexes.. dodging, blocking, countering the master's stick or knife and even barehand at a faster pace can give you insane reflexes because of muscle memory..
Wow. It’s a great self defense tool when you just want to whoop some guys, there was a 40 year old man who like to go to pool sharks Las Vegas in early 2000’s it was a pretty rough time to be filipino going around trying to mind their own business playing pool. A couple of times he’d get picked on but most of the time I seen him lay people out trying to rob him. Even 1v3 sometimes
I’m in my late 20’s and I’ve trained in both Traditional and Mixed martial arts for several years, and what I will tell you is that Old martial artists do not mess around. Little story time. Let me tell you about a man we’ll call Doctor J. One of the toughest matches I’ve ever had in my life was with a 70-year old college professor with a doctorate in American history. The man is a grandfather and one of the nicest, most respectful men you’d ever meet. You wouldn’t think the man was all that dangerous. You’d be wrong. There’s a reason we in the dojo all had the saying that “The Doctor hits like a train”. As an older man, he didn’t stick around for long, drawn out fights, and he didn’t have the best speed or mobility in the place, but he was fast where it counted most. He knew that he wasn’t gonna out-speed the younger guys, so he focused most of his technique on his single-hit counterpunch, and it almost always connected. I could count on one hand the amount of times I’d been winded as hard as when that man tagged me clean in the chest. He could go on the ground if he had to. He wasn’t gonna overpower you, but he’d consistently see an opening in your defense the second you made a move, and then all of a sudden he’d be the one in full-mount and already be in the process of hammering your face with that damn right of his. Doctor J has been getting along in his years, but he makes an effort to keep the younger ones in line and even with his age, he’s always still willing to learn something new regardless of how young or old you are. The lesson I’d wanna leave is this: old martial artists that can kick ass, more often than not, have honed their craft to such precision because they know what works for them. They are aware of their limits and instead of denying their mortality, consider it and adapt to the situation at hand. They never stop being students even after their hair turns grey. Always be willing to learn, and try to figure out what works for you, because the best style, whether in a fight or in your daily life, is the one that keeps you going each and every single day. Thank you Dr. J. You’re one of the toughest bastards I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.
The subtle strokes are the ones that ppl miss, but the most deadliest. He goes for the arteries and plucks at it with the tip of the blade. This old man is still a walking weapon.
You can tell that mans muscle memory is doing everything after thousands and thousands of repetitions. Sir you are impressive and I wish you a long and happy life!
A somewhat related story. Dan Inosanto tells a story about a time he was about to give a demo of Filipino martial arts. He was approached by an old Filipino man with a hardwood cane and a long, sharpened thumbnail who said something like, I'm gonna watch you, and if you don't do it right, we're gonna have a 'talk' afterwards. Guro Dan recognized from his demeanor, cane and thumbnail that he was an old school escrima fighter and not to be messed with. After his demo, the old man said that Guro Dan's escrima was authentic, and they didn't need to have that talk. Never underestimate old men. Especially if they have hardwood canes and eye gouging thumbnails.
That thumbnail thing is true. I have a medical condition that allows my nails to grow thick and nearly unbreakable. I can unscrew with it if the screw is not real tight. I can drive my thumb through a brick wall and my nail won't break. So I used to trim my nail like a small knife and i can cut you with it.
I believe I’ve trained with that old Filipino master a few years back in San Jose California. The thumbnail matches the description and he didn’t play.
It's a art of physical expression of the body like Bruce Lee was speaking of like dancing similar. This is why when one fights they call it dancing also. Saying let's dance or get down.
Your statement is semantically null you should have said something like I love art and this is art at its finest. Not breaking balls just constructive criticism
As a student of life, I find it a beautiful thing to learn from the elders. I believe that we they leave this life physically. Their knowledge lives in the mentees that love the same craft the elders once had.
Grand Tuhon stayed in our Hartford, CT area for several visits in the 1980's, lasting a few weeks each, teaching seminars, and private sessions. An amazing man with long and deep heritage. I value the skills and knowledge I was privileged to receive. Mabuhay!
I've had the distinct honor of training with Tuhon at a couple of seminars hosted by Jared Wihongi in SLC. Being left in the dust by a man in his seventies was very humbling.
This is the kind of video I've been waiting for from Aperture. None of the know it all I'm on the cutting edge crap, but respect and love for living tradition and masters like this. Regardless of the art or style nothing's better then seeing an old man's still got it :)
I always think it's interesting that when you watch the older practitioners they have more efficient and shorter more direct movement. It's almost too subtle to see what they are doing if you don't have an eye for it. Where they might have lost power and speed with age you can see tactics, body manipulation and efficient movement more than make up for it.
That's the strengh of Arnis de Mano : As it is a blade oriented art of fighting, you don't loose your capacity in facing a real fight even if your age makes you weaker. Every of those old Masters are so impressive, with a true warrior spirit ! Arnis de Mano really deserve respect .
Here's the thing: he's just "practicing," so the speed is slow to medium (like any FMA drill/practice). I can just imagine how fast he will strike if his life depended on it. :-) Salamat po.
I never noticed the resemblance before from photos or video, but Leo Gaje looks a lot like my father in his later years. When I was watching the video, some of the angles it looked like it was my dad doing it! Thank you for posting the video.
teflondrunk Dude is in better shape than most people in general, you would be surprised to see how many ppl in this comment section alone are out of shape.
Dealing with old men is just insane. They get way too serious about every move. My dad is 87 and he was a kick ass boxer with lightning reflexes in his day. Now playing around with him, sure he's slowed a bit, but it's still like trying to catch a whipping live electric wire. Be wary of old men they cheat and have many tricks up their sleeves.
That's inspiring. I'm a 60-year-old SCA fighter, and plan to still be doing it when I'm 81. (Though it's been a damn year since I've put on armor and fought. Stupid pandemic.)
What a great video. The elder teaching the younger and constantly having the upper hand with very little effort... Truly a delight to watch. The efficiency with which this master continuously ‘destroys’ his opponent is rather awe inspiring. The student is quick to realize that he won’t be getting even one shot in throughout out this training session. The fact that the student can laugh at himself and his predicament against this joyful master and that he can’t succeed in slicing or stabbing him, is truly the only way to remain teachable. Truly enjoyed this.
Awesome. My father was an Arnis grandmaster also. He passed away last 2008. If my father is still alive today he's 82,. So he's just a year older than this grandmaster here who is still in good shape.
For this reason if someone pulls a knife on you run if you can. Don't fight unless you got no choice. A razor knife can cut through clothes with the flick of a wrist.
Imagine Mr. Gaje on a London street in the evening with a lightweight cane when a couple of thugs try to rob him and give him a Glasgow smile as a trade for his wallet. He probably wouldn't need the butter knife. I think I'll just sir back and watch that again.
Sure but the same could be said for an alien invasion or zombie apocalypse. Almost all the major injuries i know of afflict friends training martial arts, and those among them whove dealt with knife or gun attacks had to do so because they were imprudent, drunk, or looking for a fight. The ones who successfully defended themselves were a tkd champion and a 5 ft untrained woman, neither of whom had ever trained to fend off knives but just kept their wits about them. Martial arts are just for fun dude. If you want to avoid danger and arent a cop, just study hard and stay alert.
Personally, I would rephrase it as "until you face a knife attack". Something which seems to be a disturbingly common aspect of assault / physical threat. And yeah, learning to work with knives should significantly improve your odds of survival. But as far as dueling with blades goes... if you go looking for that type of action, its all on you and you deserve whatever you get.
My god,, the skill of this man is astounding! If you ever need an example of timing, motion, control, and art rolled into one then look no further. Art at it's very best.
Dāvis Rieksts Unless the other guy can run faster......Or you’ve got a child with you. If running is your only tool you’re far more limited than you think.
Yeah cause knife fighting is absolutely pointless apart from training reflexes, the majority of the 99.9% you talk about are probably dead from a knife wound 👍🏼

That's why people can train for years. If you really love and enjoy something, you look forward to training. Many people force themselves to train because they want the end result, but don't enjoy the journey. These are the ones that quit.
@Wulf Mcsnizzle do the same. And if you could be so kind as to show me a video where a so called expert beats a mma practitioner. You could help me change my mind doing so.
These older guys come from a time where they did real death matches, not MMA patty cake with a staff of medical personnel in the wing. Go and issue a challenge to the guy if your so tough. He’ll dice you apart with a 2” blade.
Jacques Manz I train as well and MMA isn’t stylized to stop a knife if you think your MMA training will help you against an experienced and also trained knife fighter you’re delusional
Beautiful the older guy sure seems in total control and in superior health. Good show. Let's you know that if you're blessed with good health you can live long prosper as well enjoy life to it's fullest

These older guys come from a time where they did real death matches, not MMA patty cake with a staff of medical personnel in the wing. Go and issue a challenge to the guy if your so tough. He’ll dice you apart with a 2” blade.
@Wulf Mcsnizzle learn to read. Mma has been debunking. Present perfect continuous. Go educate yourself on your language first
Jacques Manz I train as well and MMA isn’t stylized to stop a knife if you think your MMA training will help you against an experienced and also trained knife fighter you’re delusional
Beautiful the older guy sure seems in total control and in superior health. Good show. Let's you know that if you're blessed with good health you can live long prosper as well enjoy life to it's fullest
I think this guy has stabbed a lot of people to death...
Not death
They send them straight to disability
He still has his knowledge. Great to see at his age .
This just felt good! Thank you. 🙏
that was really beautiful. to move and have fun like that is priceless
Tremendous you still always skills even wen you have aged but you stayed young inside with all natural reflexes.Nice to see
Experience, consistency through time your skill gets better.

I'd love to train with ether one of these dudes.... lessons for life...it's not the search for power but the will to find it for when it is needed.
