Why Filipino Kali is effective in a street fight
Most martial arts you’ve heard about always involve hands, feet, or sometimes both; however, the case is quite different with the Filipino Kali. This is a weapon-based martial art that originated in the Philippines. However, just like Kung-fu is an umbrella term, what do I mean by that? Well, it covers a wide range of other techniques.
And in this video, we will be walking you through what the Filipino Kali is and how effective it is in a street fight. So, sit back, relax and stick till the end of the video.

It's not sticks, ancient Filipinos use machete but later prohibited by the Spaniards and they use sticks or baston
It is really ancient, try and see some older imperial record that they hired sea poeple fighter to train their heirs in for the throne with so called selfdefence and our counterpart in Japan that really was considered a low class in society because of their mercinaries history that who ever pay the right price can have the service.
It was just a concidence in the time of Magellan that most of the able fighting sea going tribe of the islands of Leyte-Camotes Island was at home for a Clan-Tribe reunion.
Same as silambam india.,,,
Some of clip are not kali. Like that two dudes disarming a pointed gun. Just two douchebag thats all.
as an scholar of arnis/kali back in high school. we trained with other martial arts like taekwondo and wushu. this is one of the realistic martial arts can be brought to the real fight. ofcourse as you can see many mma fighter destroys some mix martial artist and telling its just a myth. kali has some advantage when it comes using a sword fight a bat or a golf racket or a jungle bolo instead of practicing kendo.
the difference of samurai and arnis
KENDO is a very good martial arts using the way of sword it has technical and very precision techniques to attack and defend. but when only using a samurai or a sword to cut it depends on the sharpness of the sword. the downside of this art was the intension to hit on the body or head. it was last used in edo period by japanese military. where their enemies using gun not perfectly and still bows.
Kali/Arnis
is using techniques how to disarm your opponent, example hitting the hands and legs to paralyzed parts your enemy. even using anything like knife, iced pick, baseball bat, golf racket anything that is long can be used to strike. you will learned how to immobilized your opponent all part of the body was a target.
it was used by 1600s – past1900s when spanish colonized filipino. it was the time the cal.45 was born. because of this kind of martial arts. they need to immobilized filipinos in just one shot coz when the itak/bolo (weapon they used) get near theyre gonna be a deadman fosho
Dam, this narrator on so many channels. He must be the actual embodiment of youtube.
Incorrect about distance. We train in 3 ranges as well as utilize V-leg switching. We like to say that it is a complete system that can compliment any system.
Karate is more effective
I am training in FMA and it's hard to do both hands for now
Why is the word Left in Tagalog called – Kaliwa?
What is Japanese Iaido doing in a Filipino Martial Arts clip? Is there an error?
BUT there’s a world of difference between what’s done in the Philippines and the bullshido ‘style’ they teach in western classes !
This narrator is everywhere in youtube!
A gun disarm bringing the muzzle across the body twice?
Lapu Lapu….
Ayo? WATOP?!
Duh.
What nonsense.
Watch the dog brothers.
Kali like all systems is as good as your teacher and as realistic as you make it.
kali is like karate but they have arnis with it or sometimes they practice it to protect themselves imagine you don't know karate and someone with a knife came at you, you would died
I'm Filipino.
Kali is a "no retreat" art, always move forward, and dont look back
Like my friend who taught karate for 3 years and received a black belt, then he was beaten by hooligans because he did not give them cigarettes
I dabble a bit in FMA as well as other things but that first handgun disarm was dumb… at no point do you want that barrel pointing at you. At the mid point he had the gun pointing at his gut.
The problem with Kali is,,,,, you need a Kali stick 😀
Its practical if you have patience to carry that stick everyday. Just hope police don't arrest you for carrying stick.
Before U.S soldiers don't interested in Arnis or Kali but the Filipino interested in boxing
It’s pronounced are-NEES and es-CREE-ma.

Some say Kali is impractical because of it's variety of movements that is hard to replicate in a real life scenario, but it is contrary to that belief. First and foremost, Kali doesn't have a strict rule on its attacks or counter attacks, it just goes with the flow of your body. That's the same reason why practitioners practice the flow of the arms and feet rather than combinations, they are training the mind and the muscle to react to whatever is coming, because in a real life situation there is only a split second to think of a combination or an appropriate attack or counter attack, so the fighter or the defender would automatically shift to the movements that their muscle memory is practiced to do.
If you see a boxer in a real street fight, his muscle memory would tell his system to block, slip, evade and counter, but it wouldn't stand a chance against an overly aggressive attacker because those movements takes a lot of motion to execute. In Kali, same with Krav Maga, there is this constant motion which enables a defender to just move constantly without the gap of time that a boxer would allow from its attacker. And as you would know in a real life and death situation, there is no disarming or blocking, although Kali teaches disarming it is taught not entirely as disarming rather an incorporation to the flow of attack.
But here’s the thing: you are presenting a video about Filipino martial art and using scenes with (Japanese) samurai / iado katas? 🙃
What he fuck is all the katana footage for
Not impressed,, us irish grew up in fear of the wooden spoon 🥄 ,,dodging it daily from morn to night was life or death lol😂
Wtf is up with all the Kendo/katakana footage?
Dude there are forward and backward(evading) movements in fma. And spmeof the emptyhands video clips are of wing chun.
Anyways awesome vid
because kali IS fighting… since more than 400 years ago…
How should I believe this video when it can't even differentiate Japanese and Chinese martial arts from what FMA/Kali is.
Arnis is to counter-attack everything if you want it to be efficient… Because normally they teach with blocking, but as a wise man who does arnis once said, there is a counter for everything.

Kali is a combat technique used for destroying your enemy and killing, The Kali that you always see on the internet is just a downgraded version of the technique, the Kali uses all means to win, destroy the eyes of your enemy, kick the jewelry of your male enemy, destroying the joints of the arms, legs, and necks using any means, and use anything that you can see in your surrounding as a weapon such as stick, pipe, frying pan, pen, rocks, nails, magazine anything that you can think that can be used as a weapon, Kali has a lot of disadvantage if you use this technique without any intention to kill. The martial art version of Kali is used for self-defense and sports, while the combat version of Kali is used for Killing people by any means in a dirty or honored way.
Kali is a continuously calculated brutal bladed attack designed to completely destroy multiple opponents as fast and violent as possible.
And it’s not KALI. This word does not exist in the philippines. It’s a made-up term conceived by our American cousins foremost Floro Villabrille. Definitely a case of historic falsification
the most EFFECTIVE are those martial arts with SPARRING SESSIONS. Those planned and coordinated movements are mostly unrealistic since the attacker at a demonstration doesnt even replicate a real life attacker.
Old old cucumber defense.
if you want to learn KALI learn from a FILIPINA MOM everything is a weapon specially a flip flop , hanger , or a broom oh dont forget the belt and a wooden ladle 🤣😇😋
Greek and Italian mothers are the best Kali fighters. My mother could even use a wooden spoon like a Ninja if i was late home.
