Hi all. I was wondering if anyone in the sub had experince cross training in tankendo and what they thought about it.

The fight starts at 5:00 Im curious what yall have to say https://youtu.be/6IFBUQtrh5o?si=13gjpYW-4Ls2ZUyM

So I'm in metro atlanta and I can't find any fma close to me (time wise). There are 2 i can think of and the one i went to modern arnis was nice but with traffic from my new place it's gonna take about an hour to get to either of them... so now the question, is kali center, (yt channel) good for solo learning?

Looking for just escrima / kali.

I found alpha doce pares. pretty far from me sadly.. but looks good.

Also PTK elite. Ive reached out to them but not sure how active they are, i know they practice in different locations.

• any places in the city worth while?
• im also interested in sparring.

If anyone knows any places lmk!

Thanks!

Ive been using my two escrima sticks for a good while now, and have reached a point where i have to tape one of them to avoid further damage to the surface of the stick. I was wondering which sorts of tape would be best to wrap? Duct tape seems like it would work but are there any other solutions? (Mostly just looking for stuff that comes in fun colours XD)

Ive seen videos where one guy explains ginunting has an effortless forward movement and automatically wants to come back to you.

Whereas the talibung is weighted as the center that it's feel weightless when in motion.

What are the differences between the ginunting and talibung?

Edit: There is dahong palay as well. So there are three id like to know the difference between.

I don't want to start a flamewar or anything, but does anyone have any favorite music for solo training? I def feel like I don't want to use anything that I listen to while running, for example.

Thanks so much

Traveling this weekend for work and my plans look like they have to be changed, so any groups or individuals in the area wanting to train/spar? Willing to teach and share as well, been doing this for 25 years.

I am talking about the Hubud hand drill where you defend against a punch using 3 parries.

The first one is with a single parry then counter.

The second one is 3 parries then a counter.

I was wondering why the third parry is necessary for the latter. Isn't it more beneficial to just attack after the second parry?

Disclaimer: A couple of years ago, I posted here about some shoddy looking sticks I got from Traditional Filipino Weapons (a store run by Ron Kosakowski). I understand there are some controversies associated with him, but this does not concern those topics. This is strictly a public apology regarding a purchase that I may have disparaged on this subreddit.

As I was saying, a while back I posted here asking if the sticks were any good because they were uneven, oily, didn't have the conventional striping, etc. I asked him about it, and while he seemed defensive about me calling out the quality of these Kali sticks, he was a good sport and let me get a replacement. These were more even, but still looked like knitted, rough sticks like they were chopped from a pile of rattan. He swore by them saying that the Indonesian rattan may not look like much, but it was durable. I rolled my eyes and just accepted that the product was a flop.

Anyways, fast forward and a month ago I was extremely stressed, compounded with some self-loathing and anger at some recent happenings that for personal reasons I'm not saying. I also broke one of my padded sparring sticks accidentally, and I didn't have a dummy or object that I was able to freely strike. I looked at these sticks I bought from TFW and decided if there was a use for the "ugly sticks", at the very least I could abuse them without caring what happens since they were otherwise just going to sit in storage. I knew that whatever I was striking, either it, the sticks, or my hands/arms were going to be breaking. I went off to an area most people don't visit in a park, found a tree, and started doing flows, drills, and sometimes just full strength, barely controlled swings. The tree bark was getting chipped, the wood underneath was getting small dents, and my hands were getting blood blisters and I even aggravated my pulled shoulder despite doing some physical therapy several months ago, but the sticks didn't even have any visible nicks or scratches on them.

I want to apologize and I hope that whatever impression I gave others here on the quality of this particular product. I wanted to make sure people know that the sticks may not be the most conventional and may not be your go-tos for common uses in the art, but as far as the pair I got, they are extremely durable.

Edit: I know that it isn't considerate to harm something like a tree, and I regret the impact of my choice. I was at a bit of a loss for alternatives, as just about everything else I thought of or drove around to look at was private property or not usable. I'm planning on investing in something safe to strike, but I had never felt this distressed in my entire 30+ years of life and I was becoming more miserable by the second while in my apartment. I was choked up and needed a rare, healthy release.

Anting Anting, Agimat, Amulets or whatever you wanna call it. They are charms that are from the Philippines that filipino swordsmen believed in help enhancing their skills and kept them safe during war and duels.

What is your opinion on this and does anyone here believe in them?

Greetings,

Can anyone recommend where I can get training Ginuntings (metal, blunt blade) that are close in design and weight to the real thing? (preferably with scabbarb) Thanks in advance

Anyone here in Oakland? I’m just doing this for fun. Ideally love to learn Balintawak again but really just looking for some homies to learn from and fuck around. I love the one on one teaching process cause it felt like a game training reactions. Also love the lack of uniform as well honestly.

If anyone interested hmu 🤙

Also haven’t flipped Bali song in years but be fun to meet some flippers and get back into it. I have to find it first tho 💀

Dear fellow practitioners, I have the impression that Doce Pares is very heavily influenced by San Miguel Eskrima, but can you shed light about the details? I understand that Momoy Canete was the founder of San Miguel Eskrima, and many of his teachings are resembling in many moves, even in some drills too. I dare to raise the question, how did San Miguel evolved into Doce Pares? What is the difference between San Miguel, Cacoy Doce Pares and then the Doce Pares Multistyle? Seems like the direct line of evolution to me... I wonder why do they have different numbering systems then? I know the Canete family is basically behind them, I just don't know enough of the history through generations and I'm keen to learn more about those background bits and pieces.
