🥋 The Power of Flow Drills in Filipino Martial Arts
One of the things I love most about Filipino Martial Arts is the emphasis on flow drills. In this video, you'll see two of my students working together to develop their flow, timing, coordination, and reactions. While it may look like a simple drill on the surface, there's a lot more going on behind the scenes. Flow drills help practitioners: ✅ Develop reflexes and reaction speed ✅ Improve timing and distance management ✅ Build coordination and weapon handling skills ✅ Learn to adapt to changing situations without stopping to think The goal isn't just to memorise a pattern—it's to create smooth transitions between movements until they become second nature. Over time, these drills help bridge the gap between technique practice and real application. As the saying goes, "You don't rise to the occasion; you fall to the level of your training." Flow drills help ensure that when pressure increases, your body already knows what to do. Enjoy the video and let me know in the comments what you've noticed about flow training in your own practice. 👊

🔪 Which Training Knife Should You Use? 🔪
One of the most common questions I get from students is: "What's the best training knife to buy?" In today's video, we break down the most popular options used in Eskrima, Kali, and Arnis training, including: ✅ Rubber Training Knives ✅ Aluminium Training Knives ✅ Wooden Training Knives ✅ Padded Training Knives We'll look at the advantages and disadvantages of each type, when they're most appropriate to use, and how they can fit into your training journey. Not all training knives are created equal. Some are better for technical drills, some for pressure testing, and others for introducing beginners to blade awareness in a safer environment. Most importantly, we'll discuss why training with live blades is never a good idea when working with a partner and how choosing the right training tool can make your practice both safer and more effective. Whether you're completely new to blade training or looking to expand your equipment collection, this video will help you make a more informed choice. Watch the lesson and let me know in the comments: 👉 Which training knife do you currently use? 👉 Which one is your favourite and why? Train smart. Stay safe. Forge your skills. ⚒️

British World War ll Combat Training
After finding my Great Uncle’s World War 1 unarmed combat manual, I went down a bit of a rabbit hole looking into British Army combat methods from World War 2. It’s a real throwback — old school techniques, old training methods, and an old English voice-over that I honestly found pretty entertaining. I’ve uploaded a video talking about the topic and sharing some of the things I found interesting along the way. Let me know what you think 👊 https://youtu.be/Cm_HS7J2y78?si=nqwaSJS05C8MTm08

🥋 Which Stick Should You Use for Eskrima, Kali, or Arnis?
One of the questions I get asked regularly is, "What stick should I buy?" The truth is, it depends on what you're using it for. In this lesson, we look at the different options available: ✅ Standard Rattan Sticks – The traditional choice. Durable, safe, and the most common stick used in training. ✅ Lightweight Sticks – Great for developing speed and coordination, but they can sometimes encourage bad habits if relied upon too much. ✅ Hardwood Sticks – Heavier and more durable, often used for conditioning and strength development, but they require extra care when training with partners. ✅ Padded Sticks – Ideal for impact training, sparring, and introducing beginners to contact work with reduced risk. We also cover something every practitioner will experience sooner or later... 🌴 What happens when your rattan stick starts to shred? Many people throw a stick away too early. We'll look at when a stick is still safe to use, when it should be retired, and a few simple tricks to get more life out of your training equipment. A good stick can last a surprisingly long time if you know how to look after it. If you've got a favourite type of stick or a tip for making them last longer, drop it in the comments. I'd love to hear what you're using in your training.
