Balintawak is definitely one of the most effective systems around.

It´s actually quite interesting how methods changed slightly when wearing armour & this would probably have played a big role in the combat between the Natives who used a type of escrima against the spanish who wore some armour.
Modern systems of escrima such as Latosa escrima train in medieval weapons.
It makes sense to learn from the enemy & use what is useful.

He was a very old man when this was filmed but as a young man he was very fast & could strike multiple times.
what i like about FMA is their casual attitude, not stiff like the Japanese systems.

The Filipino FMA guys actually remind me of the Gurkhas i met in the Army.
smile at you then cut off your head

WOW..this is Gold, sorry about the quality but the speed of their moves is amazing to watch (at least for me)

This is actually very interesting from a bodybuilding point of view & for FMA. I actually never really thought about the hand muscles or fingers so deeply until one day some years back i got slashed by a knife in my hand & had a small OP.
Gymnasts are amazing specimens indeed.

what i find funny is the "hidden costs" in some Organisations where they try to pretend there´s some hidden secrets in Wing Tsun such as the latter forms with the double knives or wooden Dummy forms.
Nothing is secret just a money scam in some Organisations & i realised this quickly not just my intuition but speaking to many people who were in these organisations.

Ip Chun no secrets just hard work

Interesting stuff, Donny.

yes even as a kid i was interested in lifting & martial arts. Not Bullshit stuff but boxing & Judo, Aikido i like because of the traditional Background.
I love the Sabaki the movements which are important even in boxing or any other martial arts

Tai Sabaki is something very few people understand, body movements..maximum efficiency.
