North Harbour Reserve (NHR), Balgowlah
Dos Manos Espada (Two-Handed Sword) - Kampilaan/ Katana/ Hand&aHalf Sword/ Cane (Walking Stick)

Guro John has been training with us since early 2012, starting back at Lange's MMA "Roof" group Arnis classes. He is one of HMA's main Instructors, having received his Lakan Dalawa/Black Belt (2nd Degree) in Lange-Corral Arnis late 2023.

Guro John is also a certified Kalis Ilustrisimo Instructor under Ray Floro of Floro Fighting Systems (FFS), head of Kalis Ilustrisimo in Australia. This pairs well with his other training in Arnis, Silat and previous experience as a Right-Handed Southpaw Boxer.

This raw footage is a continuation of various Dos Manos Espada (Two-Handed Sword) technical sparring sessions from the previous months, between myself (Josh H - tattoos, converse shoes, black shirt, black shorts) and another Kalis Ilustrisimo Instructor (John S - sneakers, black shirt, blue board shorts).

This video shouldn't be seen as an instructional video at all. Kalis Ilustrisimo is an advanced blade system with incredibly subtle movements, with a heavy emphasis on measurement and timing, that don't translate well to video or group classes. I highly recommend finding an instructor from our style in your area that offers private one-on-one tuition if you want to learn more about blade on blade fighting techniques and principles.

If you are determined to use a video as a learning tool, GM Ray Floro has amazing instructional videos for sale on his website listed below.

Many thanks and the utmost respect to our Blade Masters, GM Ray Floro, GM Romeo 'Mang Romy' Macapagal and their teacher the late GM Antonio 'Tatang' Ilustrisimo, for sharing, guiding and mentoring us through such a beautifully technical blade system.

I hope this video helps a few fellow FMA practitioners with their own techniques, counters and application. All the best with your sparring!
