I began my journey in Martial Arts 28 years ago. Kyokushin and Isshin-Ryu Karate for the first 9 years. I then went to South Korea and studied Tang Soo Do for a year. And then lived in Japan for seven years where I trained in Shorinji Kempo and again in Kyokushin for two of those years. It was while I was in Japan I met a Filipino man who started to teach FMA to me. I was instantly hooked, my wife is Filipina and it helped me better understand the culture, but I was really hooked by the fact that it was so drastically different than other arts I had studied. And it seemed to me that the deadliness of the art was still present. I do not agree that any Martial Art is better or worse than another, as it is the student where the difference really exist. That said, as far a functionality for real world defensive purposes, I can see very few that are on par with FMA. A beautiful art from a beautiful culture yes, but do not be confused...it still remains a very deadly art form that should be respected. Mabuhay !
JoeyNahigugmaNene I couldn’t agree more. Avid PTK practitioner with years of experience in other martial arts. Other styles are awesome In here own way but the FMAs by and large are the most comprehensive systems of self preservation still in existence.
Despite carrying facial scars from an attack with a broken bottle when I was drunk (and so it was really my fault), it was the Filipino martial arts I had studied that saved my life.
Absolutely Incredible!! As an Eskrimador, I was locked to the screen throughout, and found the entire documentary fascinating, especially learning about the history of this absolutely Incredible Martial Art.
Eskrimadors, is one of the most concise & insightful documentaries, in which covers besides Filipino martial arts, many historical locations, along with many mystical hidden aspects of the Philippines as well. This is a documentary highly recommended for all of those that are teaching or practicing Filipino martial arts. Thank you for sharing, and hopefully there will be more follow-up videos to come. Regal Regards, JW Networks
it was great to see a little footage with Greg Alland in this doc … He was one of a kind had his own unique skill set nobody moved quite like Greg and I'm honored to have trained with him even if it were for a short while . He needs to get more recognition for his contributions to the art of FMA.. SINA TERSIA WALI…. R.I.P Guro …" Have Sticks Will Travel "
*Since my childhood I was always fascinated by the beauty of Eskrima/Arnis/Filipino martial arts, one day I will surely visit Cebu to experience it.* A humble karate student from India
Sir I would like to ask you, is there any chance that your ancient martial art of Kalaripayatt & our martial art Eskrima are kind of related or not? Just want to learn if it's true or not, thanks.
Thank for this documentary. My father was from the Philippines. He told me of the art when I was a kid growing up in the 70s. He knew some of the movements. I wish I’d of leaned.
Very good video. Thank you for sharing. I think more of our people should be practicing our martial arts and also learning our original writing of baybayin. They are an important part of our culture no matter what tribe or from which part of the Philippines you come from.
This is amazing! A well research video of famous eskrimador in the Philippines... I have been looking for this for a while....Spread the word and awareness! Salamat!
I salute you for uploading and gathering amazing vedio,history and cultural FMA..Thank you somuch big salute for you! The questions in my mind are answered through this vedio .
My grandfather was taught by the native Filipino, but the saddest part was he never taught his children and my father( my papa learned it from someone else) did not also teach us. what a great teaching.
Maybe because fma is a deadly type of martial arts, an easy one to learn but a hard art handle. It will take alot of patience and dicipline to be able to stay calm and avoid conflict once you possesed this art.
If they make an action movie of this (47:04). This would make the martial arts famous and known not only in the country but also to the outside... Kids and teenager would get interested to learning the arts.. Not bcoz it was needed in school but bcoz they are willing to learn..
Grabe sa pagka-gripping ang mga narrative. delivered in Cebuano. A lot gets lost in. translation. But. still very goodeven if in English, Bunal. dungab, sumbag. Ngilngiga ning istoryaha!!!
Dapat ipagpatuloy Ng mga susunod na henerasyon lalo na sa mga kabataan Ang Filipino Martial arts Kali arnis.. ipagmalaki natin ang ating sariling Martial arts na nilikhang pa Ng mga kaninonoan natin!!! mabuhay Ang Filipino Martial Arts Kali Arnis!!
Wow great video. Im a long-time resident of your beautiful country. My art is Kenjutsu. I have great respect for Arnis. Very effective and elegant. Arnis ichi-ban!
My grandfather cannot be touched even at age 80 with only 1 functional eye with his ARNIS. He teaches us the art of ARNIS when we were young. I can still use a stick to defend myself.
My mother is from Basilan and I have many relatives from the Sulu region of the Philippines (Jolo, Tawi Tawi, Sitangkai, etc), so I wish they could have gone into the fighting arts of the Moros in the Philippines. Because Bangsamoro is much more closely related to Malaysians (the Sultanate of Sulu and the Sultanate of Brunei were once very closely connected to each other), some of the martial arts of the Moros are forms of Pentjak Silat. I'd be curious if any Filipinos combined the essence of silat and kali.
I love our own native art so much and even our national symbols and cultures, and escrima is featured in my fanfiction novel on wattpad, a tough police officer who also was a escrimador fought and killed the iconic monster in science fiction, the "predator" using filipino martial arts in a one on one honorable duel.
A good thing that are able to find peace and establish a brotherhood instead of always only fighting and creating intrigues. It shows that they despite widely being regarded as a development-country are more civilized than many industrial-countries. If they can do it then wealthier countries must be able to do so as well.
I wish you include Sifu Dan Inosanto in this Documentary, I think he deserves a respect as a modern Ecrima Master, he started training with Bruce Lee and other Hollywood Actors, Athletes including the late Bruce Lee himself, he improvise the Kali, Arnis, Escrima, Jet June Do and other Filipino Martial Arts Style..🇵🇭 🤜
Do you practice in the dark night? Where you can't see light in front of you? If my enemy is darkness but that's what consumes me am I defined by light?
Jr Andrei nasa DepEd na yan, ang kinokontra namin, kaming matagal na nag-aral ng Arnis-Eskrima-Kali, hindi pinapayagan ng DepEd na magturo sa schools, yung mga nagtuturo lang sa schools at mga teacher na nag seminar ng 1-2 weeks.. kaya nawawala ang tunay na art, ginawa pang parang sayaw ng nilagyan nila ng anyong-likha, kahit striking techniques ay nawawala, lalo na ang pilantik, banda y banda, figura 8, sinawali at abaniko..
I'm training in balintawak this time, and I became more eager with boiling blood since I always heard in the news the there are young maidens got rape and murdered especially the murder of the child actress judith eva barsi, I become more eager to train with the hope that my training in martial arts can save someone's life and bright future one day even if it cost me my own life, not just to defend myself and my family. Eskrima will be the equipment I have in my arsenal if that time will come.
Eskrima was not exist back in 1500's🤣🤣 It was literal sword fighting! Eskrima existin a war due to Spanish colonization in north because of lack of equipment in a jungle They created this style and now it became a sports,,
totoo po iyon, pero yung prinapractis ko ngayon is yung luba, which is stabbing/slashing offense and defense. sa taba ko kasi ngayon, limitado ang footwork speed ko. Mali din na sticks ang gamit ko ngayon, hardwood, hindi yung rattan. Ginagawa ko kasi, minsan, pumupunta ako sa plaza kung saan may nagtretrain, tapos observe, tapos apply. Siempre, di ko pinapakita na ginagaya ko yung style nila. Ang pinapakita ko lang are the basic strikes, i.e. san miguel, redonda, abaniko at sumbra, kung solo baston. Actually, naturuan ako dati sa mga pamangkin ng mga Dagooc sa Negros, pero yung solo baston lang. Sa youtube ko na lang natutunan ang doble baston. Yung footworks ko galing sa karate. Gusto kong matutunan ngayon is trapping, saka pang agaw.
Kenneth Cabauatan concentrate ka muna, sa basics, kalimutan mo muna ang nakikita mong advance, pag na master mo ang basics, mapapansin mo, madali mo makuha ang advance
basic po yung luba sir, at least, nung tinuro sa amin nung mga taga baranggay tanod. Yun ata yung mga Corto Mano ng mga tiga Balintawak. Pang close quarter combat yung style na tinuturo eh. Doon din ako natuto.

These needs to be published in detail in a book before it disappears. Our government needs to support the widespread teaching of this on the country.

Yep! Well said, I personally practice eskrima/arnis. And I practice baybayin as well, comfortably writing with it
Baybayin wasn't our original writing system. There are many pre-colonial writing system in the Philippines other than Baybayin.
Pugay masters. May you all continue the art of filipino martial arts.👌💪🙏

Interesting and useful film!
I love it, I felt the passion within our eskrimadors!
Great. The principle of slash system.
I use to watch other martial arts, but on these one I'm asking for a slow motion camera! How fast they can be?
Very personal to me this and thank you fopr showing

Not really
If those sticks were real swords this art is deadly.no wonder Magellan was killed by Lapulapu.
