Sparring Sunday Here’s some double stick sparring. #weapons #kali #martialarts #teamkombat @ilikejpf @kombatarts @kombat_arts_kali #staykombatready #pekititirsiakali #fma #kali #stickfighting

Punyo! Here we are working with punyo (the butt end of the stick) entries off of this simple roof block drill. Both fluid and broken roof block entries are utilized and give you a different entry for the punyo attack.... #weapons #kali #martialarts #teamkombat @ilikejpf @kombatarts @kombat_arts_kali #staykombatready #pekititirsiakali #fma #kali #stickfighting @_msb_76_

How to Get Into the Grappling Range with a Stick Last week we discussed using the stick in close quarters. Today we look at how to enter into the grappling range with a stick with Sifu Mark.... Why would you want to do this? Maybe your opponent is better than you in the long range and you can best him in the grappling range. Maybe the environment doesn’t allow you to fully use the stick and you are forced into the grappling range. Positioning and hand fighting is critical in the grappling range. And humour is always welcome for the video Nikki! #weapons #kali #martialarts #teamkombat @ilikejpf @kombatarts @kombat_arts_kali #staykombatready #pekititirsiakali #fma #kali #stickfighting @kombat_arts_jkd @mcmjkdcs2015 @nikkialfa06

Weapon Wednesday Double Stick Drills Here we are using the typical upper 8 sinawali drill but instead of slashing we are utilizing the high line thrust motions.... Depending on your intent you can use this thrusting drill with a partner who is doing the upper 8 slashing drill. Rather than meeting the upper 8 slash attack you can start on the same side as the partner, use the first two thrusts as a parry against the slashes then finish with the last thrust attack. #weapons #kali #martialarts #teamkombat @ilikejpf @kombatarts @kombat_arts_kali #staykombatready #pekititirsiakali #fma #kali #stickfighting

Weapon Wednesday Here we look to attack the hands while keeping with our upper 8 sinawali drill. The main emphasis is on changing targets while maintaining with the original flow and timing.... #weapons #kali #martialarts #teamkombat @ilikejpf @kombatarts @kombat_arts_kali #staykombatready #pekititirsiakali #fma #kali #stickfighting @_msb_76_

Weapons Wednesday The Doublete The doublete involves a double cut without having to reset or chamber. ... This movement allows for the user to meet or deflect the opponents initial strike and answer with one of their own attacks without skipping a beat. Give this a try at home...just make sure the the furniture, spouse and pets are out of the way PS. Stay tuned as Lakan Guro will be releasing a test date for the Kali program! #weapons #kali #martialarts #teamkombat @ilikejpf @kombatarts @kombat_arts_kali #staykombatready #pekititirsiakali #fma #kali #stickfighting

Weapons Wednesday The florete technique utilizes the spine or the dull side of the blade first then while in same motion it is quickly followed with the sharpened edge of the blade. This is often used as a way to deflect an oncoming attack using the full side of the blade first.... An advantage of using this technique are that it helps ensure the integrity of your edged weapon by avoid the sharp side on sharp side clash. It also allows high probability of landing the clean cut after the deflection as it cuts right away and has no need for retracting the weapon before the strike. #weapons #kali #martialarts #teamkombat @ilikejpf @kombatarts @kombat_arts_kali #staykombatready #pekititirsiakali #fma #kali #stickfighting Here we see a typical four attack drill followed by the same angles done in a florete.

Here is another knife drill with Lakan Guro Justin, assisted by Mark @_msb_76_.... This pakal grip flow drill forces the participants to put emphasis on angle of attack, weight distribution and foot work. These types of drills help build individual timing as well.

It’s Weapon’s Wednesday and here we have Guro Lakan Justin explaining Pakal grip quarter turn counters. Moving towards the right we are utilizing the horizontal slash with the hand check. Moving to the left we are utilizing the diagonal thrust with the hand check. This is a great tool to use against a forward moving opponent. Like the shirt?

It’s Weapon’s Wednesdays! ... and today we have Guro Lakan Justin showing us the downward pakal grip number 1&2 feed set up. Final blow upward number 4 thrust. This type of setup can be very deceiving when in a sparring match. The upward number 4 thrust is quick and follows the same line as the number 1 fluid strike. However, using your body movement as a counter balance allows the strike to be quick as well as strong with very little commitment. It also allows the strike ...to originate out of the usual eye sight level making it very deceiving. Give it a try! #weapons #kali #martialarts #teamkombat @ilikejpf @kombatarts @kombat_arts_kali #staykombatready #pekititirsiakali #fma #kali #stickfighting

# #tbt when we hosted Guro Marc Denny, of the infamous Dog Brothers to share the DBMA system, in March 2009.... It was the first time that Guro was in Toronto, and it was a real treat to experience the DBMA from one of the founders. We had such a great turn out (this was at our very first KOMBAT location) that when we did some sparring drills, we had to have students stand around with kicking shields and Thai pads to protect the mirrors and spectators. What I loved about the system was that at the time they were predominantly out there testing their weapon systems in full contact events. For the first time we were getting some insight to what can work, and what didn’t. Training methodologies and tactics. From a self defence perspective, I appreciated the aggressive nature of the system. Now we are happy to still see a lot of those elements carried on by our coaches in our Kali classes. Again, I am most fortunate to have made these connections throughout the martial arts world. #staykombatready

We decided to post a technique today, since we missed the opportunity on Tuesday.... As a beginner, one way to improve your punches is to make sure that you pivot when throwing your punches. You want to learn how to punch with your WHOLE body, not just your arm. One of my best training partners when I was younger was Mark Drozdzowski. Mark would share his training techniques and tactics from kyokushin Karate, and I would impart some Knife skills. Mark would go on to pursue a career in policing, including the ETF, and a DT and firearm instructor. Thank you Mark for this drill! This is a great drill for beginners, to make sure that you are pivoting on your punches. Enjoy! #staykombatready
