ARNIS BASICS!

A few things you can use to get started on practicing Arnis! (Also called "Kali" or "Eskrima") Note that different styles, systems, and instructors will approach the basics differently, this video is what I personally feel would be a nice starting point. ✌️

I love how this guy gets straight to the point and doesn’t over elaborate stuff 😭👌

Don't mind me. I'm just chilling here imagining myself being cool fighting using arnis as a reference.

I remember taking Arnis class back in college! I enjoyed learning different patterns! Thanks for sharing this here!

Well done Daniel! New subscriber. I’m an old fella that started training Tae Kwon Do back in 1986. In the mid ‘90s I transitioned to Kenpo and by 1997-98 I became obsessed with blending Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai and started training in Frank Cucci’s LYNXX Academy which had Filipino Martial Arts mixed in. Unfortunately I would skip Arnis/ Escrima days because I wasn’t interested in it as much as Jiu-Jitsu. By 2003 my martial arts training came to an end due to serious knee injury as well as work and starting a family…. 20+ years later I find myself wishing I had given more attention and time to the Filipino Martial Arts, and I’ve dug my sticks out and began slowly warming back up to it! I appreciate your channel. It’s time for this old grandfather to get back into shape, and this is exactly what I’ve needed lol. Thanks Daniel!

Saludos desde Venezuela. I know people from the Philippines understand Spanish and I have to say thank you very much, Daniel. I am a karate to student but I find Kali/Arni as a very good sister martial art. I'm going to follow your advices and use some Kali in my arsenal, in order to find some peace.
Greetings from Venezuela.

Thank you kindly for show everyone the basic strikes since it’s the best way to begin. 👌

2:17 My coach in jr high school said to never pull back your stick when you're about to strike 'cause your opponent will know and they might strike first :))

Your video is quick and informative so its good for us who got the basics already. I saw another video wielding knife movements and its good to know the basics apply here as well. As someone who is out and about almost everyday I cant carry a long stick but a collapsible baton works just fine. As a defensive weapon the basics apply and I make a point to be proficient in what I carry. No I don't look for a fight but I just want to make sure that if I find myself in a "very tight" situation and I would need an exit spot without growing a tail your basics can be a platform for a good jumping point . Definitely a good way to train and hone the skills for a defensive skill. I also know that in a rough situation, walking away, running away is better than scraping a skin but getting in a "very tight" spot and you need to wiggle away the ability to use your EDC is a welcome option. Stay safe everyone.

"I appreciate your explanation, Daniel My father was a grandmaster in eskrima and was both a student and a relative of the great escrima grandmaster Angel Cabales, who practiced Serrada eskrima. I regret not dedicating more time to mastering the art, but I’m now picking up where I left off. I’m studying your videos to improve my eskrima skills."

[TheLiquidether]

I have studies serrada escrima from my professor and can relate with the 12 strikes. I love empty hand techniques the best!!!!

I'm a writer and I'm planning to make a novel about arnis but I don't know anything about it but this video really helps me thank you very much💖💖💖💖

Straight forward and bang on! I need to refresh my skills for fitness and defence purposes. Mabuhay! 🙏
