Eskrima, Arnis, Kali; Filipino martial arts go by many names. FMA are solid, rhythmic styles of fighting🪘
Here’s a little double stick solo work at the Crane & Cobra dojo💥 (This comes out of my Inosanto, Lenderman lineage).

Anderson Silva, Tony Ferguson, Qi Lala, and others have used Wing Chun in Sport Combat/MMA with success…but…Wing Chun is still better as a nasty self protection style for the streets. 👀 🤔
Here we see the kung fu man bring loads of Forward Pressure to dominate the Thai boxer. This is why Forward Intent is a major principle in real Wing Chun because on the streets the one who wins is usually the more aggressive fighter (particularly if they are using bridging/sticking close combatives techniques seen in Wing Chun).
Train both styles for best results! 🧠 💡

Traditional Martial Arts, Self Defense training, and Sport Combat…all 3 have overlap and yet all 3 have distinctions.
I say train all 3 for max benefit. What do you train???

Forms and wooden dummy work could have clinching and grappling principles. Wing Chun is more than just a fighting style…it is a set of physical principles based on human anatomy and movement. We must learn to think outside the box and beyond the mook yan jong! 🧠 💡

Economy of motion 💥 Great fighters learn to flow!

The 8 slashing knives of Wing Chun 🔪 Baat Jam Dao 🔪
Obviously in real life the knives I carry are a bit smaller and I don’t twirl them around but I believe training should have many aspects and Fun is one of them! 😃 If the brain and body are having fun the material is learned more readily 🧠 💡

I passed another Black Belt🥋test this weekend! 👊 💥 🎉
The test ran from 12 noon to about 5:30pm 👀 and was a mixture of demonstrating proficiency in many different martial arts styles and in showing grit and endurance during the grueling physical parts. It was difficult on purpose. From showing our skills in multiple mixed arts to running a mile, sparring all the instructors, grappling all the instructors, a Pankration round, doing Muay Thai rounds, getting Muay Thai heavy kicked in the legs 🤕, and finally staying in horse stance for 20+ minutes…congrats to all those that genuinely earned this belt 🥋!!!
This test was the culmination of years of learning and application and the end of very specific black belt candidacy training that ran from April through August at Barner’s Blue Dragons.
Special thanks to all the instructors for helping show us the way, and to George, my training partner, and of course to Shihan Daniel Barner.
🙏 🙏 🙏
Looking forward to official graduation and belt presentation and my martial art future! 🤜💨
