do you mean stick fighting or jkd and wing chun which are apparently associated with it? if you know practical martial arts like wrestling, judo and jj, i would consider adding more practical martial arts starting with boxing and then muay thai.
There are tons of different styles to choose from. You will need to see what you like best. A good class should cover the stick, knife, dagger, empty hands and some grappling. There are some that tend to work on stick competitions too much, I personally dont like them much. The empty hands are excellents, far better than wing chung in my opinion. The instructor should teach you the principles, teach you whats best for you and not what work best for him. Its always been like that with proper filipino martial arts. I did some dog brother stuff with a friend who teaches it, it wasnt for me. You end up with too much injuries, I already have enough and dont wanna get more. Check out sayoc, pekiti, FCS, plenty of styles to see on youtube. Then attend a few class see what you like best. Depends where you live, those are probably not available in your area.
Its them guys from wingchun, JKD and other who attend FMA class and integrate it in their system. FMA are generally compatible with other arts. They are not rigid like other system. So I guess thats probably why you see them in JKD or wingchun. Dont forget they are not just stick like what most people think. A student should be able to use his hand in an event he lost his weapon. Although the movement is similiar, some adjustment need to be made in order to get the maximum effect.
Go for it! Kali will teach you weapon fighting and defense and it all translates to empty hand fighting. If you have the opportunity to study - then do so!
i cant imagine knowing how to slice someone up would be real practical but im not sure what your motivation is.. if weapons defence is your thing id suggest some krav maga bro..
Lol I was gonna mention your name, just couldnt remember what it was. I read you been doing sayoc for a while?
I have a friend who studying for quiet a bit. He compares it to BJJ of martial arts. This **** works. You get a machete type weapon or 2 of them and you're invincible with this style. They have a lot of techniques to get people on the ground, all types of techniques vs different weapons wtc. It's not practical but if you have a stick and I know you know kali well, I will not come near you. It's very efficient, fast and brutal. If I had a cheap school near me, I'd definitely do it after seeing it in action.
Strange man, A week ago you were saying MMA is the best for street fight and should handle any if not all street fighters. Now you are impressed with FMA? The art is for survival and not for winning trophies :nono Stick is not practical? atsch stick is just a tool for you to use to gain advantage, without it you should be able to improvise any weapon that comes to hand. Machette, stick, umbrella, rolled news paper, pen, knife or empty hands it make no difference. All that needed is some adjustment in order to maximise the effect of each weapon used. Now we are talking about street fight :hey
Defending against a weapon such as knife or stick can be difficult without understanding its movement well. The only way is to also learn how to attack with it. I dont think many KM class would teach that. Ill say kali/eskima is far more superior when it comes to weapon use.
This discipline is no joke.. Many consider it the ultimate armed close quarters combat for a reason, and it's still exotic compared to most martial arts. These guys tend to not only be dangerous with weapons of choice, but also weapons of opportunity. Kill people with a spoon sort of ****.
I'll be honest; I did a bunch of Kali in a JKD context for almost three years and I never got it. It just never clicked and made sense to me. To be fair, I didn't work very hard at it either. It's a bit of chicken/egg with whether I didn't like it because I sucked or I sucked because I didn't' like it, but either way, it won't be any of the top five things I ever try to pull off if I really need to. Best of luck though.
Yes, when I first met Chris, (10 years ago) I almost burst out laughing, The man was 300 pounds. Then he started doing some transition drills and it was different almost counter-intuative. But the man was ****in fast with his knives and his transition drills (I got up to 7). When I got used to it, I realized that what Chris did was take away some of the predictability of the old drills and at the same time made the movements very efficient. Apparently Chris is now famous, he's all over YT and doing seminars everywhere. If you are ever in the tri state area, I can recommend a couple of people. If not I can call some friends. Also if you meet him, he'll tell you this is for killing people, this aint MMA which is a sport. If you need some help/info regarding carry conceal laws regarding knives, pm me
