Well we are the same race so it's not that surprising

Although I agree that we are all one people. The cultural diversity does make a difference. For example the way Filipinos train maybe different from other cultures could be because we were a subjugated people for so many centuries. Hence the training differ from other cultures that hasn’t been subjugated by a foreign occupiers b

manjitrupbikram that awesome, maybe it has something to do with lack of toys and forces kids to be creative. Thank you for sharing

Yes. Also my part of India,Assam, in the north east of the country shares many culutral and environmental similarities with the Phillipines. Happy practicing!

manjitrupbikram yes geographically it makes sense as well.

Trinitrophenylnitramine we recently filmed a company that makes custom Fighting sticks and mentioned that Baybayin script was more Indian. Do u have any references that I can look up? Thank you for your comment

One of the oldest fighting discipline in the world is from India, called Karalipayattu. This martial art may or may not be the origin of the Filipino term Kali. One thing is certain that prior to the arrival of Islam and then of Christianity, major sea-faring communities in now Philippines were strongly influenced by Indian culture, even believing in Hindu-Buddhist religion.

Thank you hope you enjoyed the other videos please share 😁👊🏽

@@413MediaGroup Bro, I'm 41yrs old, over weight bordering obesity, work grave yard, have 2 babies that keep me up most of the day and a beautiful wife to satisfy... LOL. I barely have enough time to rest. But once things settled, I'll jump on to getting trained ASAP. Plus those traditional games have gotten a new light and make me wanna play them with my kids now more than ever!

There is no such thing as being old to learn martial arts

That’s awesome

Yup

Benj Delos Reyes possibly

Thank you for commenting

in cebuano we call it batu bataan or batu bakinkan

Nice

Not a dagger more on boomerang. When i was a kid most of the roof had atleast one plastic boomerang in it.

Actually, that’s being debunked already. Research is leaning towards that it was indeed the Spaniards that taught the early Filipinos the art.

@@413MediaGroup Maybe. The fighting arts were already there, but not necessarily in the form we know it today. How could it not be? It's not like there wasn't any kind of fighting going on before the Spanish arrived. There was inter-tribal/inter-clan warfare all up and down the islands, not to mention against foreigners from other SE Asian kingdoms. At the time, it probably looked a lot more like traditional Silat and possibly Kuntao from the Chinese influence (ever notice how FMA and Silat look and function similarly?). The Spanish brought with them their own martial techniques (Spanish style swordplay is ferocious) and Filipino arts adapted, integrated and evolved to deal with Spanish style of fighting. This is not unique to the Philippines. The same could be said of how Okinawan fighting styles became integrated into Japanese culture after Japan invaded and took possession of Okinawa. Culturally, Okinawa is distinct from mainland Japan.

Yup, that’s what many of the experts believe it to be.

@@413MediaGroup our martial arts does not come from Spaniards. Its been there since pre-Spanish colonization.

Thank you for your comment. But what evidence or resource do u have to support your argument? If you’re argument is that FMA derived from Lapulapu then what and how did their style look like during pre-colonial time?

But are they an authority to speak about other cultures? These two gentlemen are Filipinos, and thus are only in authority to speak about the Philippine culture and its link to Philippine children games. I don’t remember them saying that it was on the Philippines that did this.

@@413MediaGroup I just said I find it funny because most cultures don't really make a fuss about it. We do. We Filipinos always are in need of a validation to the points its irritating. Are they experts? Yes. In fact I like Marciada a lot. I just find it funny. That's all.

So it’s wrong to be proud of our culture? And keep in mind there are people who don’t know that there is a connection between the games and FMA

@@413MediaGroup No. Its just you have to not put too much emphasis on culture. Its no different from cooking. Italians are so proud of their cuisine that every time another person attempt to make his/her version of any Italian food is very much looked down upon to the point of absurdity. In fact, Italian food cannot be the Italian food that they are so proud of had not for the importation of ingredients from other nations/cultures. Same thing goes with Martial Arts. Why there is MMA, Jeet Kune Do, Brazilian JuJitsu? They came to be because precisely they are not very much concerned about its cultural roots. They look at practicality and not of cultural pride. They did not allow to have a narrow minded view that Martial Arts must be tied to a certain culture but take the attitude of take what is useful, reject what is useless and make a system that is for you. Just look at the Chinese Martial Arts. The Chinese take too much pride in it that it became stagnant. Yes, its beautiful to watch but you know that it cannot beat a seasoned MMA fighter, as proven by a Chinese MMA fighter when he challenged some self proclaimed Chinese Martial Arts expert and beat them to the pulp. Same thing would happen to FMA if we focus to much of this "Pinoy Pride" rather than think of ways of improving it further. Decades later, FMA will be a passing fad, like Kung Fu or Karate and another craze will come out.

It’s so funny that you mentioned that you’re not a martial artist expert and then act like you know what it’s like to be a Filipino Martial Artist. If you only understood that the cultural aspect of FMA is that it is effective, and the games associated with it isn’t just to make “connection” but understanding the struggle. The struggle of being occupied by foreign invaders from the Spaniards then the Japanese and at one point the US. But your logic is flawed. There is no direct connection that just because it’s tied to its culture doesn’t mean it’s ineffective. Look at the Mui Thai; the Thai people are very proud of their fighting art, but had they lost their lethality? In my opinion; they have not. Look at Indonesia with their Silat, they’re lethality is still there. And then there is Capoeira from Brazil, they look very beautiful but it’s effective is hidden to the untrained eye. And we cannot discount the Samurai and how much it’s tied to the Japanese. Same goes with FMA, that’s why FMA is used by law enforcement; military including the Navy Seals, Marines MARSOC, etc.... But there is that old quote, “Those that don’t know history is doomed to repeat it.” We must preserve and honor the past as well as the cultural aspects. But just because we honor our past or culture doesn’t mean we lose the lethality.

junjy geolirn it’s weird how everyday events has training components. That’s Mr. Miyagi level

Eric Talbot interesting concept. Thank you for sharing

Khristian Blessing Nacar I what is that?

piko is the Filipino version of hopscotch. we used to play that too when we were kids back in the 70s & 80s, along w/ trumpo, syato & patintero. but my favorite was syato because there is what we call 'atsuyan' at the end of the game in which the loser would be punished by shouting the word 'syato' from where the short stick fell back to the base (or hole). the distance where the short stick falls is determined by how many 'palo' is agreed by the players. 'palo' is hitting the short stick w/ the long one. those were the good old days. 😊

hahaha, yes it will

yes they are, I was told that there are games that are similar in other cultures, but the games that Doug and Willie are rererring Filipino Games. Thank you for commenting, hope you enjoy the other videos in the series as well. Happy New Year

Too much stuff to talk about

There some story that I heard during American invasion in Philippines, a lot of American soldiers hate yo-yo, why you ask course when invade the local tribe of Baguio know as ifugao, the ifugao defend their Territory not only using bow and arrow but also a yo-yo, yo-yo is not a lethal as arrow or bullet so there a chance you survive if you hit by yo-yo, what you tell to others? A toy able to stop you
