KAPATIRAN

KAPWA TAO 

Filipino Martial Arts is a fighting art that was handed to us by our great ancestors who developed their skills in the use of swords, knives, sticks, and various weapons for the purpose of defending others and for protecting ones self. The term "KAPWA TAO" in Filipino is the notion of a "Shared Self" which is extending ones self to include others as well. This is the core of Filipino personhood. The learning of a fighting art always has to do with self protection that naturally includes others be it his or her own family, friends and their families and even strangers who are in need of it as well. This also means giving ones self in service to his/her Motherland. The values underneath "KAPWA TAO" or shared self are the words "BAHALA NA" (determination), PAKIKIBAKA (resistance), and "LAKAS NG LOOB" (guts). It also extends to societal values such as "KARANGALAN" (dignity), "KATARUNGAN" (justice) and "KALAYAAN" (freedom)These values are inculcated in the minds, hearts and souls of every arnisador. Therefore a true bastonero, kalista, eskrimador or arnisador  is not just a fighter. These values aside from the physical training should lead to the development of a Kalista's totality as a "Mandirigma", "BAGANI" or a Noble warrior.

ANG BASTONERO

KAPATIRAN NG ABENIR KALIS

ANG BASTONERO

Ang bastonero at ang kanyang baston ay iisa.

Ang baston ay sumisimbolo ng ating pagkakaisa. Ito rin ang paraan ng ating pagkilala at pagbibigay galang sa ating mga ninuno na nag pamana ng karunungan sa larangan ng pagtatanggol. Kinikilala natin maging ang kanilang kagitingan upang ipaglaban ang kasirinlan at kalayaan ng ating lahi. Ang baston ay siya ring simbolo ng ating pagmamahal sa ating inang bayan at sa kulturang ating pinagyayaman.

Ang baston ay gamit para sa daang kapayapaan. Ito'y nagsisilbing tungkod upang umalalay sa ating paglalakabay na siya rin namang nagsisilbing pang taboy sa mga kaaway.

Bagamat maari na ang  baston  ay nagtataglay ng iba't-ibang anyo ang prinsipyo ayon sa paggamit ay iisa.

Iba-ibang mukha, iisa ang katawan. Kung kaya't anoman ang hawak na sandata ay parehas ang pamamaraan. Sapagkat ang bastonero at ang baston ay iisa.

Ang baston ay ginagamit laban sa mga taong mapagmataas. Dahil kapag tumama na may ibayong lakas ay maghahatid sa sinoman ng pagpapakumbaba.

Simple lang ang konsepto sa paggamit ng baston bilang sandata. May pabagsak. Merong pahiga, pataas, pabundol, pakaskas, pwedeng pasibat, dik-dik, ipit at sikwat.

Sa pagdepensa naman ay merong bangga, may umaayon sa pwersa, may pinapaawas, pasampal at merong simpleng ilag o lampas.

Ang distansya ay dalawa lamang. Distansyang hampasan at distansiyang  punyuan.

Gamitin sa wasto at ipasa ang kaalaman sa karapatdapat lamang.

SEDA VERTIS NORTH KNIFE DEFENSE SEMINAR FOR SECURITY PERSONNEL

Protection within and without.
Security is a basic reality ever since the time of the first man. To survive he had to secure the resources he gathered and protect them from any threat. From a constant threat seen and unseen, self defense becomes vital for security to be effective. Being able to defend yourself and others makes a big difference for a successful security. The Introductory self defense training and orientation by Abenir Kalis led by Maestro Bong Abenir and the able security leadership of Yvan A. Pagulayan is an initiative to provide a means to prepare the security personnel of Seda Vertis for inevitable threats. Its a step towards protection from within - when minor violence erupts - and protection from without- thinking ahead before untoward incidents even happen. Success favors the prepared.

By Chris Dalida

AKS would like to thank sir Yvan for giving us this wonderful opportunity to share our skills and knowledge to the security personnel of Seda Vertis. Indeed this is a beautiful start of forging good friendly relations and for better things to come Mabuhay po sa inyong lahat! - bong abenir

"The empty hand fighting system could be practiced anytime at any stage or level of the practitioner"

The weapons progression is used in conjunction with the empty hand training progression of the system in order for the practitioner to get a "complete education" in the variables possible with the major techniques and tactics employed in Filipino Warrior Arts.

The major characteristics of the Abenir Kalis is efficiency. It is a very pragmatic and practical system which applies the laws of physics and psychology. It does not waste time with unnecessary movements but instead goes right through the heart of the problem when dealing with an adversary. We make sure that the practitioner is able to fight or defend himself in just a few sessions of training withing the system. Although it does not mean achieving mastery of the skills and techniques within the system in such a short period of time but rather the know how and confidence during a street encounter is what we are after (learn to fight first,then work on the finer points of the art later). That is why we do away with a lot of rote drills  (we focus only on a few drills and spend more time on free form and coaching when applying the skills learned for sparring and for street fighting) during the first sessions but instead we help the student analyze the different strategies and tactics that could be employed during a street fight. It does not matter much how well you execute the techniques during a fight as long as it scores or hits the target. People are not concerned on how beautiful or skillful you employ your techniques but whether who is left standing during the encounter. After learning these things, only then comes the formal training for the purpose of mastery and teaching of the system.

EVERYTHING IS SITUATIONAL

EVERTYHING IS SITUATIONAL

Techniques may or may not work. Everything is situational. There are certain conditions wherein a technique would work perfectly at a given situation while certain conditions using the same techniques could also fail miserably. Some executions are done cleanly and yet somehow comes out ineffective while some executions are done poorly yet to our surprise comes out effectively. So again everything is situational which means that it is highly dependent on circumstances that arise during the exchange of attacks and counterattacks, quickness on reactions to openings and reading the opponent’s intent and other factors concerning an individual's attributes. During demos in some of our videos, we deliberately intend to show how certain techniques work and executed during practice especially on the beginning stages of a beginner's progression. Naturally as things are done in a slow manner it is easy to perform cleanly and inject as many attacks one could deliver. And so it seems to be executed so smoothly basing the movements on this level. But these perceptions quickly changes once it is done in full combat speed and even moreso once full sparring becomes the nature of the game. Then we start to realize that indeed every skill, techniques thus require certain circumstances or even those coming out of a fluke for it to work. I maintain that some techniques are inserts and others are primary and there are no such thing as superior arts over the other but only superior on a certain situation.  Which is often, until now very much misunderstood.

INSTINCTIVE KNIFE DEFENSE SEMNAR

LET NATURE TAKE ITS COURSE
I was told by one of my teacher that It's not about getting away clean or unscathed or even victorious in a knife fight or knife defense situation. Although these are indeed desirable. But the true priority is to be able to survive that hellish situation one might find him or herself into. He retells to me his violent past experiences and stressed his point into my mind that a blade encounter is something that a person with a sound mind should really not aspire to get into. But he quickly stressed equally that if forced to act due to an attack, then one has to do everything in order to protect and preserve one's life. And in truth, as much as one wishes to control the outcome, the result would always be different for everybody. Either one of them ends up getting badly hurt, or both of them comes out with an equal predicament or that one of them ends up six feet below the ground or could be that both end up dead. One could never determine these results until its over. So there's nothing really to fantasize about it. Because It's just plain ugly. So we can only train ourselves as much as we can in order to prepare ourselves for any such unfortunate event. And if it comes, (let's hope not) all we can do is to give our very best to come out of it alive and survive the trauma that comes with it right after through the help of our acquired skills and along with the deeper training that one gets out of it which strengthens our mental faculties. With all these said,
Let nature takes it course.

When dealing with a sudden knife attack, intentionally going to the ground is not an option. Stand strong and fight hard to stop the aggression. But if you stumble and fall, be prepared to defend your life on ground like there's no other option.
