Billy, I really enjoyed the clips and being green found them extremely helpful, I played them over and over. I do realise however, that there is no real substitute than going for real instruction. Please keep up the good work, I work as a security guard in the UK, this has helped with my confidence when working alone. I too am on Facebook, St Georges flag and regimental crest as my profile picture. thank you once again.
I adore u so much cause even tho ur kinda weighted u can still do these cool takedowns and submissions in a flash. So I Salute to you Sir with Great Gratitude
Excellent instruction, Guru Brown. You're always clear in your technique and really show how concepts work most effectively and how they flow into one another. Maybe I can get you out to our school in Alameda, CA sometime. Keep up the good work!
Guro Brown, I love your presentation of unarmed Kali/panantukan/Arnis de Mano and Silat principles. It's direct, easy - to - understand and very clearly highly effective. You demonstrate both the "upper" and "lower" arts in a way that makes a lot of sense to even beginners. Superb, sir. I commend you.
Very good video. You do a great job at explaining the skill set ( I hate the word techniques). Too many people have a disparaging attitude toward the street effectiveness of the FMAs. What those people fail to realize is that these arts were not developed as a strictly unarmed art, as boxing is. But they were developed to counter blade attacks, since traditionally, the Filipinos are a bladed culture, where most street fights turn into knife combat. Great job!
Love the material Guru Brown!!!!especially that u have a tae kwon back ground similar to mine not focused on points but bone breaking kicks;)lol NY instructor started kind of at the end of Texas Blood N Guts Karate era so he still has that mentality n teaching style.
Guys.. Please stop asking about the FLAG! Look at the training! I know all about the flag! I have answered this question 100 times.. An employee hung it the morning of this camp. I didn't notice it until after! Thinking about it though, this was the start of the war in iraq and I had many students and friends, some Filipno there fighting! So maybe this was fitting after all! ~ Guro Billy Brown
Hi Guro Brown...nice video...You know I think its funny how weve never met yet our material is pretty close in resemblance...after Teaching full time for the last 30 years Ive come to realize ...Damn it all the same sooner or later :) Thank you for sharing keep on posting Terry
Guro Billy Brown, thank you for bringing forth our filipino culture. One thing though in this video you have the Philippine flag upside down. Salamat po.
Hi! Thanks for the comment! Its always refreshing to have those comment that do more than just sit in front of their keyboard. Let me say this.. Master Wongs stuff is prearranged.. Bottom line.. This was a seminar I taught and 95% of them were very green. So there really was NO need for me to show this full speed. As bouncer for 17 years as well as working with the NOPD for 4, I do understand the difference between DRILL & REAL. You are totally right though. Thanks. Please view the other clips!
Thank you! There may be some Seminars scheduled in that area this year. I will let you know. You can find me on Facebook to keep up with upcoming events.. Also please visit my Online Video training website at - www.ProActionVideos.com .. Thanks again.
Pardon me, this may have been mentioned before, but I can't help but notice the Philippine flag is the wrong side up. The blue should always be on top which signifies the peace time and red should always be at the bottom. Other than that, keep at it, sir. I'm a FMA practitioner myself and love sharing and watching the art.
Great work. If you could allow full speed attacks like Master Wong then it would really highlight its efficacey. A lot of exibitions seem to shine when the snail punches come in one buy one but probably fall apart when a drug raged tosser is trying to knock your head off. Great tutilidge all the same.
Billy Brown The Brazilian army is using Kali in their system and they call it "Kombato".... In india, the Indian army started using Pekiti Tirsia Kali, a form of Kali martial art..... I think, the U.S, should start using Filipino martial art as well.....
Yeah, I know these things.. and I totally agree with you! The USA is to busy saving money though than putting it towards sound training for the troops.. sad but true..
Well, our government tends to save a little bit and spend a lot and it typically spends a lot on a lot of bad ideas which would be obvious to a half - assed economics analyst. And each party wants to spend a lot of money on its sponsored businesses (i.e. lobbies). And not trying to make a political statement here but that's one big reason why I'm a Libertarian. Another thing I wanted to mention here, though, is that Guro Brown is not just showing Filipino concepts but also a lot of Indonesian principles as well. A lot of the concepts presented here come from the De Thouars lineages of Indonesian Silat Serak (and offshoots) and have been wedded (very nicely) to Filipino concepts and tactics. Leo T. Gaje's PTK also has certain silat principles because he lived in Indonesia for a time and learned a full curriculum of a system of silat there. A good friend of mine trained under Leo's lineage for a decade. I forget the specific name of the style but remember years ago when Leo was still on good terms with Bill Sanders' Pencak Silat Pukulan Cimande Pusaka lineage, there were certificates of Leo T. Gaje which had him listed as a Guru in some system of Indonesian silat. This is one reason why Leo's lineage (PTK) is a little different in its hand-to-hand application than Nene Tortal's lineage (Dekiti Tirsia Siradas), although the two were once a common system under the Tortal lineage. Having said that, I will reiterate that I LOVE Guro Brown's specific presentation, as it is smooth, very well - executed and easy to follow. And I will say that I think our troops would benefit much better from a similar blend of Filipino and Indonesian combat principles and tactics rather than -- for example -- Krav Maga and/or that "USMC Martial Arts" which has been largely taken from MMA (shaking my head).
Thank you! Im in florida often teaching Seminars! Contact me on facebook and I will let you know next time im there! I try to find excuses often to go to the beach!! ;)
Never said it was Filipino for one.. Second, Silat and Kali look very similar MUCH of the time.. Infact, you find much of the same throws and other techniques in BOTH arts.. Usually just the entries is what separates them.. I have both a Silat Instructor and a Kali instructor that teaches that throw and they both claim that it came from their respected art.. When it comes down to it though, A punch is a punch and a kick is a kick. So thanks, but I disagree..
There's only so many ways to Use directional energy, efficiently lock, or wrist turn, arm etc, etc..of coarse these applications will overlap in many different martial arts and will look similar if not the same. Wrist turn in Arnis/ Kali/ Eskrima same as Sankyo in Aikido. Jujitsu also has similar wrist locks as Kali, etc, etc. (people only bend so many ways;) I find the similarities have helped me relate to martial arts I don't do with a better understanding. The directional/ redirectional energy he is using is a concept shared by other martial arts as well But most serious of all!!!!.....l it looks like you everyone is learning and having fun. Well done. Thanks for the video. Enjoyed it.
sorry coz i read filipino martial arts then when i open they are american so i saw flag in the background but i was not sure if philippines flag but when im focusing....anyway great video ever..goodluck and God bless
men you hang the Philippine flag wrong, the red color must be down and the blue should be on the top cause it means war in the Philippines if you put the red side on the top..hehe,,just saying! by the way great video men..keep it up! Mabuhay ka Guro Brown..
this why i don't understand why most of my fellow filipinos don't know our own art instead they choose other arts from other countries such as tae kwon do, aikido and many more. if they only realise how practical and deadly our own art is.. crab mentality that's our biggest problem
Man I am tired of this comment.. Instead of watching the background, people should focus more on the material that some or giving.. for free.. LOL But I will copy and paste the exact same thing I said the sat time.. I had hung the flags that day and that fact slipped my mind until after this seminar.This video was 2009. The flag is hung proper now. Thank you." Or... a new thought! 2009, America was in a war....I was teaching WAR! So, pretty fitting! Maybe I hung it like that on purpose.. :)
I had hung the flags that day and that fact slipped my mind until after this seminar.. This video was 2009. The flag is hung proper now. Thank you.
Thats awesome! Keep moving forward! And so glad you enjoyed the clip!
Nice video, looking similar to karate Kata application, thanks
Billy, I really enjoyed the clips and being green found them extremely helpful, I played them over and over. I do realise however, that there is no real substitute than going for real instruction.

Great video Guro Brown. I just completed my first week of Kali Silat and am loving every minute of it.
I adore u so much cause even tho ur kinda weighted u can still do these cool takedowns and submissions in a flash.
So I Salute to you Sir with Great Gratitude
Excellent instruction, Guru Brown. You're always clear in your technique and really show how concepts work most effectively and how they flow into one another. Maybe I can get you out to our school in Alameda, CA sometime. Keep up the good work!
Thank you sir! I would love to come to CA!! Lets make that happen.
those takedowns really look great.
Guro Brown, I love your presentation of unarmed Kali/panantukan/Arnis de Mano and Silat principles. It's direct, easy - to - understand and very clearly highly effective. You demonstrate both the "upper" and "lower" arts in a way that makes a lot of sense to even beginners. Superb, sir. I commend you.
Thank you do much sir. We have some new Kali and Silat vids coming out very soon.
Very good video. You do a great job at explaining the skill set ( I hate the word techniques). Too many people have a disparaging attitude toward the street effectiveness of the FMAs. What those people fail to realize is that these arts were not developed as a strictly unarmed art, as boxing is. But they were developed to counter blade attacks, since traditionally, the Filipinos are a bladed culture, where most street fights turn into knife combat. Great job!
My kudos to those keeping this martials arts alive foreign or local. It is something that Filipinos can be proud of other than singing.
Guro Brown keep up the Great Work.
thank you!

Is Kali Eskrima used as martial arts of law enforcement officers in U.S. ?? like, the baton tactics etc.??
Unfortunately not many.. Very few of the better agencies and departments are starting to come around though.. I have been training LEO since 99..

Thank you! Im in florida often teaching Seminars! Contact me on facebook and I will let you know next time im there! I try to find excuses often to go to the beach!! ;)
thank you
And u just got a subscriber
That throw you're doing at the 3:30/4 min mark is a Indonesian silat throw not filipino. Just wanted to clarify.
Never said it was Filipino for one.. Second, Silat and Kali look very similar MUCH of the time.. Infact, you find much of the same throws and other techniques in BOTH arts..

You are very true sir.. I don't get it either. They are really missing out!
Most of us Filipinos does not know escrima/Arnis not because of crab mentality but I would blame it more on ignorance.
Im Japanese. And i like Filipino Martial Arts
Lol big fella can move ;)
Man I am tired of this comment.. Instead of watching the background, people should focus more on the material that some or giving.. for free.. LOL
But I will copy and paste the exact same thing I said the sat time..
I had hung the flags that day and that fact slipped my mind until after this seminar.This video was 2009. The flag is hung proper now. Thank you."
Or... a new thought! 2009, America was in a war....I was teaching WAR! So, pretty fitting! Maybe I hung it like that on purpose.. :)
