    Kali is superior of course. She's a God, and she's got lots of arms...

    One involves mental and physical pain and suffering, and the other ones war.

    just to be clear: FMA isn;t just sticks and knives (though that seems to be the fun part).

    I love FMA empty hands, it's like the perfect halfway house between Kung Fu and kickboxing.

    Thanks heaps shooto!

    that first clip was amazing! I know it was for ther empty hand stuff, but I could just picture where the sticks/ blade would be the whole time. Nice to see things I do in a slow clumsy way done fast too :). The whole experience was enhanced by streaming particulalry evil sounding dubstep at the same time...

    like they say, with a little tweaking, the movements of the stick to the knife to empty hands. sprinkle aggression and malice. viola!

    funny thing that i realized: fma gets more aggressive, the shorter the weapon gets. that is not to say that you're not aggressive with bastons.

    It's very cool, but it's more like a lecture with demonstrations about Panantukan principles (which is pretty awesome when you think about it). For technique breakdown I like Rick Faye's DVDs which are A) stupidly cheap and B) contain HUGE amounts of information.
    Dan Sullivan is bringing out a 3 DVD series of Panantukan drills soon, produced by the guy who does Erik's DVDs, which is very interesting.

    at the beginning of the video, he was wearing sweatpants with "JANE" written on the bum area!

    it takes a real man to look tough while wearing women's sweats! :D
