Kali is the oldest term used in FMA dating back 1600 or even earlier. There were big tribes in Luzong (now Luzon) and particular part in Visayas like Bohol, Cebu, etc. were they have extremely skilled warriors that the kingdoms of Borneo, Indonesia, Malaysia (before it was united), and even in Hong Kong & China, would call/hire them for help whenever their kingdom struggles to win a war. They're a killing machines during those times that a small compact unit of 10 could slaughter 40 or more enemy warriors. After Ferdinand Magellan was brutally killed in the war, Spaniards studied and learned about our complex cultures and noticed common weakness: "Gold & Power". That's how Legaspi started his soft approach and with the aid of Vatican Friars. They used gold & power to divide the kingdoms & tribes so that they would kill each other, followed with Christian religion to tone & tame them, and later on turning them into vassals. During the middle part of Spanish rules, Filipinos slowly were taken back to their senses and build up direct & indirect resistance. Because we were deprived of guns supply, our old lethal combat system was revived. The rest was history.

I'm proud to be Pilipino and I respect other countries 🇵🇭❤️

kali is brutal. boxing is enough for me.

Kali was portrayed beautifully in Bourne movie

"Kick Ass" movie also used Eskrima when fighting, mostly Hit Girl.

Thank.you for appreciate the Filipino martial arts....

Fight scenes involving kali practitioners are too damn realistic showing how deadly and brutal this Filipino martial art is. Messing with a kali expert can lead to your being slaughtered.

I love these type of Martial Arts I'm a boxer myself and I'd like train in Kali, Krav Maga and Pencak Silat

Funny thing about FMA fight scenes in the movies, most of the time it seems as if the bad guy also knows FMA 😅

There's also female kali version called "sabunot" here in Philippines. An empty hand combat.

hhooyyaahh astig talaga tayong pinoy....madami nplang naturuan dayuhan sa pag gamit natin ng arnis kutsilyo..at itak...

The Kali is decent in Bourne Trilogy, Bourne Legacy and Equalizer. A mention should have been given to Blade 1 and 2. Thanks for uploading. Very interesting content.

Rob did a good job in that Arnis scene. paying respect to his roots

So all this fight scenes are FMA inspired! Amazing Filipino martial arts! It’s Deadly that’s why it’s not publicly taught!

The martial art specifically designed to outright kill the enemy with outright proficiency in many ways possible. Not debilitate, not stop, kill.

Kali using in the movie looks real unlike kung fu they are flying like harry potter😂

Kali is the best martial art out there

a surgical doctor and a meat butcher.. true kali is forbidden.. thats why few know about the art.. even here in the Philippine.. we are only taught arnis the 2nd function next to hand.. kali is created to kill.. only to kill... not to imbalid or paralize opponent.. just the word kill.. no fancy moves.. just kill.. it only uses 1-3 hand moves 1-2 foot steps to kill.. within that moves are the defensive and offensive.. hidden in the eyes of the true kali keeper. international community forbid the use if kali in sports... they recognize the danger... but not fully aware of the true nature.. even bruce lee used the knowledge of vital points for his hybrid jkd . many are called but few are choosen.old book said.

FMA is not for ring or sport for defense your self and military combat

Hahaa i feel like im watching the cinema amazing and KALI is one of the best proud to be pinoy

Great list. I used to teach E-K-A classes, but it's 2020, so now it's online Eskrima-Kali-Arnis

Awesome selection...@ 29:48 love the way Eric Bana smashed those agents. FMA at its best

I find it funny how people are correcting the fight choreography saying 'that wasn't fma, it was this thing' only to be told that the trainers, fight choreographers and martial artists were either taught directly by Dan Inosanto or indirectly by Dan Inosanto's students. Whether there is a slight difference or not, I think it doesn't matter. What matters is all of these styles work but also have their pros and cons.

What people have to realize is that in the core of MARTIAL ARTS, there is universality of vectors, energy, conditions that led to techniques cooked by culture. The FMA is a great example that evolved and thrived from their Majapahit Empire (12th-15h Century) that comprised of what is now Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. Likewise there are many influences also from the inevitable Chinese Kung Fu (internal and external) due to Chines merchants and the flux of the Taoist monks being expelled from the burning of their monasteries to the neighboring countries...another are the occupiers such as the Spaniards, Dutch, Italians, Portuguese and the British which occupied these islands. The Japanese MA also which evolved from the Shaolin and the Chinese MA have its influences in the FMA... All of the arts are but one but we can see the intricacy, flavor, culture and then some. Just enjoy and have an open mind!

thank you for this video, for promoting FMA.

I forget just how brutal Book of Eli was.

0:36 every Filipino has that kind of blade and other Kali weapons but is used as agriculture tool 😅

The jack reacher & bourne clips epitomizes the art closest.

jason bourne taken1 and the equalizer and the hunted shows itz effectiveness and practical use

He is using a Spanish fighting system called KEYSI. Keysi is a self-defense style based on the study and cultivation of natural instincts, combined with the basic principles of combat: it was created by the Spaniard Justo Diéguez Serrano. It has been used in Jack Reacher and Nolan's Batman. It is very similar to the Philippine system, but leaving out the sleight of hand.

Proudly! Filipino Martial Arts Kali/Eskrima/Arnis best in the world of martial arts. god bless! us all

06:18, Dan Inoisanto, grandmaster

My old FMA coach would call that move at 27:58 "FILIPINO DRIVE BY"...I real life you cut the neck.

Jason bourne - panatukan Jack reacher- keysi method Eli- kali escrima

The Hunted has some of the most realistic interpretations of FMA in film, very very good.

FMA was a warrior hand combat so deadly.

Great Filipino martial arts..our legacy weapon from our Great ancestors.

you missed the best scene from "hunted" fight in forest...

I think a lot of Steven Seagal movies use Filipino knife and stick fighting

kali martial arts of our ancestor in the Philippines are not secret anymore,but its ok,philippine master in kali are teaching so that others can protect their selves,proud of our masters in kali👍👍👍👍👍👍

The sword from Book of Eli looks like a Bolo.

Kali the deadliest art of self defense

man from no where is one of my favorite movie but i think kali is good only to our military men not for civilian men proud pinoy here regards

I have practised and love Kali. So I need to inform you that the Jack Reacher fight wasn't Kali. It was the Keysi System.

If you are weak, you can use any weapon to hit an opponent's strike. That's the advantage of FMA.

Some of it looks like kajukenbo. But all rivers lead to the same outlet. The key here is using your enemies push or weight against them. And Filipino, Kung Fu, Kajukenbo, and Krav Maga utilize the same principle. That is why they all have very powerful and unique fighting techniques. And one fighter in a different martial art may be the more skilled fighter than the other who has trained twice as long. But any and all martial art forms can be a blessing to the individual student no matter how small or complicated it may be. A little knowlege and application go a long way in martial arts. And life itself.

Liam neeson-panatukan/kravmaga

Jason Bourne using panantukan martial arts

I wish this Filipino Martial Art will continue and grow as wild same with other discipline likes Judo, Karate and Taekwondo. And be part of the regular events in the Olympics or at least in the ASIAN games (different from SEA games). But the main issue is MOST Pinoys are not interested to learn this fighting art nor knowing it. Filipinos are addicted in Basketball. The government should focus and spend lots of money for this. I'm an Eskrima-Kali-Arnis fighter, instructor and trainer since 1994. Also I'm a former member of the Philippine ARMY Arnis Team 👊🥋🥇

Taken was not Krav Maga, and Jack Reacher was done by Andy Norman from Defence Lab and his background is FMA and Jeet Kune Do. Keysi Fighting Method was used for Batman but not Mission impossible. This is all obvious just from watching the movements.

Samalat kay Sir Janvier at talagang mas nakilala namin tong Arnis. Grabe Filipino pride is rising out of my heart right now. Nakakalungkot na bilang estudyante ay ginagamit lang to ng karamihan para magkaroon mg mataas na grades. Sariling atin!!! Nakakatuwa!! Suportahan natin ang ating Pambansang laro. Wag tayong maging dayuhan sa sariling atin. Nararapat lang natin itong pagyamanin. Meron tayong sariling pagkakakilanlan at ito ay dapat na pinagmamalaki.

the art of martial art, fma

Per comments below, RE Guru Dan Inosanto's Mafalindo, isn't anything "pure" about it...He's combined a lot of stuff, including Silat from Guru Paul DeThouars (RIP), and several systems. You could call Keys system Filipino based, same same Okinawan Karate is Chinese based, since that's were it's origins. As far as that goes, an old Guru in S Philippines said, "What we do here is Pencak Silat" but in Philippines we call it Escrima, or Arnis." There are several films missing from this list (Daredevil, and Mummy 2, and more) as far as that goes, as well as many episodes of TV, including "Highlander", This not a bad compendium of film clips, though the editing and quality are slightly off.

4:50, Rob Snieder kicking ass! Lol

Here in the Ph. our Parents teach us arnis at a young age, it is not just a normal arnis with two sticks but arnis with multiple sticks called broom sticks... If we do something wrong and we saw our Mom holding the broom stick we know that it is time for the lecture about arnis, so we prepared ourself to protect the most vital part in our body..LoL🤣

ARE THERE ANY MOVIES WITH FIGHT SCENES SHOT IN OAKLAND????OR BERKELY????

Won bin in Man from Nowhere uses kali escrima

22:16 improvised weapon

Watching 6,14,20

FMA always showcases in foreign movies but not in filipino movies

Just fight in a Filipino Way in KALI that is KA = Kamot (Hand) + LI = Lihok (Move/Movement). The Martial Arts of the early Filipinos long before the Spaniards colonized or came to the Philippines. Kali is a Bisayan term for Eskrima or Arnis (maybe Spanish).

esta bueno

Are there really certain arts that are better than the rest? I trained in Wing Chun for 3 months and learned some very interesting and brutal tactics. I would think any discipline would be enough to protect yourself on the street with enough practice and dedication.

many movie fights in this list are based on the keysi fighting method. special the movies after the dark knight rises area. u can check this in the dvd bonus where u can see who and how they trained. its similar to kali/eskrima but more modern. jack reacher is one of a popular examples of keysi. this is no diss or something just facts u can discover by ur own research. specialy (as i said before) in the bonus dvd of the movies if u own them. i study traditional martial arts and practices 11 years shotokan karate and this year in june, 9 years traditional taekwondo (which is at least the korean art of karate but u can check the history lesson everywhere on the intenret and in several books... i recommend "the killing art") under son jong-ho. and as a big martial arts fan, i take closer looks to martial arts in movies where u can learn a lot about ur own training. just my mention! best regards from germany and i like kali... its a very good style of martial arts

That dumog at 1:23👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

idk how anyone can tell whats being used in the Bourne movies, its all just a blur of fabric lol

When SHTF you better have this in your bag of goodies.....

you would like t o believe that it is all filipino boxing or styles but it is not only. I see many styles in almost every scene martial arts are so similar that you can find many concepts and the same moves in alot of them.I dso see the filipino but I also see japanese as well as indonesian and chinese military. but i feel u...more power to u.

Im practicing now FMMA Forbidden Maniac Martial Arts just newbie lol

Kali, Eskrima or the rest of Filipino martial arts are used for killing, not for knocking out enemies, if you’re using knives or sabers.

I like the double stick fight

Kali is also about precision in executing empty and weapons

Yeah, so you're wrong about a few of these. The biggest shining example is Jack Reacher. In that film they even state he is a practitioner of Krav Maga, not FMA.

Liam Neeson vs Denzel Washington if that happened in Equalizer 3 or any movie ever who would win?

How could you not mention REDBELT or OUT FOR JUSTICE? I mean even Dan Inosanto had roles in those films.

They say that in Jack Reacher the style was Krav Maga.. not Kali.

I am glad that other nationality appreciate FMA.but i am sad because in the Philippines it is almost forgoten.

kali now in our country is already part of sports...

The Taken movies were more Wing Chun.

It is a strange thing, but as I have been in a number of knife fighting situations, and last year had to face a blade barehanded, after already having been stabbed in the neck from behind in a sneak go by a meth addict, I find these scenes bringing back flashes of the strange and surreal moments as I relised I had been attacked and stabbed in the neck, and had to switch from relaxed summer afternoon to straight killer instinct mode....I blocked a third attempt to stab my neck and promptly disarmed him (,am Eskrimador) and then he produced a sharpened screwdriver. I ended up disarming that, but not until after a third stab wound to my neck. This time I thought that I was gone, and I was just so relaxed and accepting of that. But all three just missed my jugular, and I had him dead to rights. I let him go, even though I had the right to kill him. Watching this brought back the feeling, particularly, of that recent incident. Mi Vida Loca!!

Babala wag niyong gagawing biro ang kali Kasi the most deadly knife yan

The Hunted confused me a bit i tot it was Sayoc Kali but i remember people said it was Silat.

Kali and Jiu jitsu, for my , the best martial arts...

Does man from nowhere actually use fma? I thought it would be more like hapkido or something similar since it's a korean movie.

the man from nowhere show how stupid villains are. you have a gun you throw it away and fight using karambit against a man who just killed 10 people with a knife.

Is that how you present or introduce the Philippine martial arts?

Blocking the chainsaw with a knife was a stretch.

Can we develop a technic where we could use FMA in MMA fights? I mean, not using any lethal weapons? FMA is like for lethal combat and was only thought in the Philippine armed Forces, i know, but perhaps we can help other people to understand that FMA is good as well to neutralize an enemy and not just killing them. LOL!

25:45 to 26:30, damn Milla Jovovich.

Jack Reacher used Keysi Fighting Method concepts, not Kali.

It's too bad, but realistically, only those who know would know.. Otherwise, the lay person will think they're seeing karate, kung fu, or MMA. I've seen the broomstick split shtick done so many times, only people who know what they're watching understands what they are seeing.

The Jack Reacher elbow strike is Muy Thai imo.

Ok great material, but "Mission: Impossible III" and"Jack Reacher" don't have pure filipino martial arts, have KEYSI FIGHTING METHOD (from Justo Dieguez former estudent of Joaquin Almeria, both from Spain), wich is a method that combine JKD and KALI (Inosan) mostly and others styles. For that reason some scenes look like Inosanto´ s panatukan mixed with jKD, and the sinawali is filipino but this is not pure filipino martial arts. Notice that except for a couple of movies all this are from Dan Inosanto or from his studens or some students of his students. Maybe you should "From Paris with love" with John Travolta have a mix of Silat, JKD and kali too because Joaquin Almeria, former student of Inosanto and teacher of Justo Dieguez.

Jeff Speakman

Tittle of this Movie po

and i thought jack reacher was some arts called kisi cant remember.

hey stefan, are you sure these are all e-k-a f.m.a.? 🤔

In realty, none of this fighting comes close to what Jackie Chan's HK movies. Change those camera angles; change those angles; change angles, change; change; change....

19:35 the eye of kuruta lol

FMA is acronym of FilipIndo Martial Art..so for Fhilippine i think their martial art should be called Kali and silat for Nusantara (Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei) Just trivial opinion thought 😑
