Kind of like the Chinese phoenix-eye punch. One of the escrimadors employed a middle knuckle punch against the presenter's punching hand. Then a bit of un-armed stuff against the presenter. Note that all the training was conducted outside on uneven dirt floors, small stones, glass, etc. Then they did some faster/harder sparring with padded sticks. They then tied an old tire to a tree which they then hit with 'forehand' and 'backhand' strikes. The setting looked like a village mostly old men practising (but deadly old men! ) First scene was slow two-man practice with sticks. The claim was that there were only 8 practitioners in the whole country and that is was a dying art (could be my faulty memory). Usually slit the throat or disable the gun hand(s). Quiet approach to take each sentry from behind. The sentry just did not have time to draw his weapon, disengage the safety and c-o-c-k (darned auto-censor!) the pistol and fire before the marine got there and either cut his throat or the hand holding the gun. From about 10m, the marine beat the sentry to the draw every time.
I'm not at all familiar with FMAs, so apologies if I get anything wrong in my summary. My reception wasn't very good so I missed a few seconds here and there. I believe that he's currently teaching a Ba Gua class for senior students.Ĭlick to expand.I caught the re-run on BBC3 last Thursday. He teaches martial arts as his Chinese medicine practice and writing schedule permit. It is written for the lay-person and will be published by Simon & Schuster. martial arts) injuries with Chinese Medicine. Tom has a book coming out in the fall about treating sports (i.e. His teaching of SME during this period was something that he literally carved out the time for so that Momoy Canete's art would not be lost.
#TOM BISIO INTERNAL MARTIAL ARTS FULL#
It is interesting to note that he scaled down his teaching of Pekiti Tirsia after a long period of time that began with teaching Chinese martial arts for three or so hours during the evening after a full day of treating his patients at his acupuncture clinic. However, I can't speak for Tom (who almost never posts on internet forums). The shift to SME occured in mid-90's after he stopped formally teaching Kajukenbo, so perhaps it reflected a general change in his attitude as well. I hope my friends in both arts will forgive my tongue-in-cheek comparison - but I think that there is a glimmer of truth to the above.įor a descripton of San Miguel Eskrima that reflects the above see the "About San Miguel Eskrima" link at Tom was also studying Kajukenbo with Sijo Emperado and Xing Yi and Ba Gua with Vince Black during the same period of time that he was teaching Pekiti Tirsia in NYC, so I think it's fair to say that there was no lack of attraction for violent arts on his part (!). SME has what I would describe as an "icy-cold duelist's" mentality. To make a rather gross generalization: PT has what I would describe as a "balls to the wall, crash and burn, raze your village to the ground" mentality. but Make no mistake, it is effective (.IT'S WEAPONS) BUT is not it's intended goal.Ĭlick to expand.Matt is quite correct that the psychologies of Pekiti Tirsia Arnis and San Miguel Eskrima are very different. Momoy 's Eskrima was quite different, not as combative or aggressive for sport as Cacoy's or the Sevidras, Despite the growing popularity and success of numbers in students of Doce Pares, Momoy held true to keeping his as a pure artistic form using the medium of the Filipino Arts. The San Miguel form for example is very long (10 to 15 Mins) to complete, The continous and repetitive moves develop internal attributes whereas PTK does not have that intent or would not do so with it's own forms.but yes you can add that component if you were a martial artist looking to develop more than what was original intended by the system. It's true essence lies in the developmemnt of the individual.
SME on the other hand does not have that intent or flavor. PTK at it's lower levels strive for one simple act-destruction of the opponent as a self preservation tactic. Click to expand.Sure, everything can be but it's original flavor does not have that component.
