They get together and bash the **** out of each other with padded weapons. I ask again, do you not see how fuckin awesome this is?

You've posting lots of links of fun bashing, can you post one of them in an instructional setting, as in putting forth tenets of a "style" or art? Are you saying they are not a club, but instead a school, trying to build lineage rep?

How's this link for you? I wouldn't agree with all movements to work 100%, but I do agree with a lot of what is shown in this video.http://youtu.be/h__CdPeJoXo

It still wouldn't turn them from a club/gathering into a teaching school, but I'd like to see you do your thing.

I don't have any kind of footage of me. The only closest visible explanation for what I do is to look at videos of arnis. That's all I can give you for now, until I get a camcorder becuz I would like to record with my students.

Let's be honest. As cool looking as some (most) of that was, some of that was very very low probability stuff.

But what does that have to do with Arnis, you or the club TE has?

I did find some full contact Arnis sparring. Oh look, they pad up.

Somehow I doubt you spar anyone hard and fast with wooden weapons. You'd be injury ridden, beyond any training regimen's demands, wouldn't you?

If you mean do drills hard and fast, I understand, but the one is not the other.

Thanks for admitting xingyi is better than Arnis. Much appreciated.

It's all about self defense, except Tres Espadas.

So, are you going to add your credentials, your name or your videos?

Not every school teaches the same way,so rules always apply for safety if weapons that inflict injury are being used. So that's why they are wearing protective gear. Also, I can't really make out what kind of material their sticks are made of. Like I have mentioned before, we only go as fast and hard as what we are capable of. I train in street clothes and a wooden stick, that's what I do. If I get hit, that's my fault for not blocking.
