not street fights, but still dudes really fighting with sticks and other weapons. aside from t with the weapons, they also fight striking and grappling. While this isnt "UFC" it is............... MMA fighting.
I don’t support unsanctioned fighting but on observation and critique of op video and no disrespect to anyone personally but that is just poor unskilled weapons training and use as its ineffective application, that creates bad habits and loss of momentary engagement or advantage in transition losing control.
Its more head hunting and flinging around the weapon as if anything goes than actual response to offensive movement targeting and striking the actual line of attack as correct technique is applied using your sensitivity training and footwork stepping back to go forward, is lacking to say the least.
It is simply appalling very frustrating to see how technique is applied or lack there of in many of these YouTube’s. It takes years of drill practice and mental preparation to learn not to fear going in but sticking to learned hand to hand (sensitivity) training as it becomes second nature or memory muscle.
So many of these online Youtubes makes Martial Arts look stupid, because its not a tag or a forward attack where training is ignored as per se. Its actually using the techniques and footwork not throwing it out the window as it is a live attack, because it looks more like fencing or a craze mess, than Filopino KALI or any actual martial art.
Also thats not how you use a three sectional staff, who teaches here?
Gosh, that is sad to be honest no skill or mental preparedness just wild movement with no control no correct technique no footwork its just not Kali at all.
(Also for sparring training purposes you got to wear full body armour)
Its not easy executing correct technique that is why it takes years to perfect at high rank having done all the basic training building up to weapons use.
Eggh very sad to watch this play on nonsense.
Here are some Youtubes I approve of...........
