Sayoc DVDs.

[arnisador]

I saw in the current (Jan. 2004) issue of Black Belt magazine that Sayoc Kali DVDs are now available.

Has anyone seen them?

Yes.
Short answer; there is a lot of material and you defiantely get your money's worth. If you train in the system they are must-have references. If you do not train in the system they give a good overview of the training methodology (Which in my opinion is a big part of what stes Sayoc Kali apart).

Is the 3 of 9 video strictly a step-by-step breakdown of 3 of 9? Or is there other material of some sort? thanks, Joe

 

[dearnis.com]

well, yes and no. One of the biggest mistakes I see made by people with a passing knowledge of Sayoc Kali is learning the basic 3/9 right hand pattern and thinking they "know" it.
So when you you say step by step breakdown, well yes it. Of 3/9 right; 3/9 left; tapping, countering, true left, etc.
So the lesson involved takes a basic pattern and dissects it many different ways.
If you are familiar with the basic pattern the material will be easier to work; if you have not had a first hand introduction it will be much harder to pick up many of the nuances (as with any martial art seen strictly on video.)
Hope that clarifies.

That helps, thanks.

Would you say it's worth the $$?

They're worth the money. Every penny.

Technically, they're an Xmas present from my wife.

Hello Everyone,

Great description Chad! I have answered many questions, regarding the 3 of 9 DVD, and most people assume that it is only a tapping drill. Only after they have trained for awhile, or with a certified Instructor do they realize the applications, that stem from this one drill.

Bob Burgee, did a great job in editing and presenting the material in a manner that anyone can learn some basic points about Sayoc Kali. I had some of the first copies and I still watch them!!

I recently picked up a copy of the DVD, and found it to be very interesting. The concepts and formulas applied to knife fighting, and Tom Kier's demo............very scary to say the least. A very good and informative DVD of what Sayoc Kali is all about:asian:

Hello Everyone,

Has anyone seen the new Sama Sama DVD? Guro Chung has posted a great review on a few forums, but I would highly recommend it, if you are interested in seeing what goes on at this yearly event! (Alright I am biased on this one, but it is a great DVD!!)
