i've got two sides and i got a pair two pairs of nunchucks what we call in kali tabak tayuk as you might be able to guess these are the weapon choices of the infamous teenage mutant ninja turtles of donatello leonardo raphael and michelangelo let me know in the comments below which of the four ninja turtles was your favorite and let's see if your favorite matches my favorite we're gonna go through all these weapon categories of the ninja turtles and we're going to kind of see and have fun with what if the ninja turtles trained in the art of kali in filipino martial arts instead of japanese martial arts what would their skills look like let's see because i'm not a japanese martial art practitioner i'm a colleague practitioner but we still got to have fun we still got to remember what was our original inspirations that got us into the martial arts anyways for me it was a teenage mutant ninja turtles when i was six years old what is your greatest martial arts inspiration that got you started with your training let me know in the comments and then also let me know who's your favorite ninja turtle maybe it's not the ninja turtle maybe it's a different character from the ninja turtles so let's go ahead and get started before we do smash that thumbs up button if you're a ninja turtle fan and make sure you subscribe to the channel hit that bell so that way you're

the first ninja that is up is the one who does machines he also uses the bow or the staff he's the one that wears purple you know him as don antelo let's go and take a look at some of the moves that donatello would do if he trained in kali we're gonna come into our number one spin just like this just get it going like this right here then we can hit it off the ground bounce it up into our number two spin and then we can turn it turn our body 180 degrees back into our one spin or if you want to you can take this into the number three spin and then from here we're gonna come around strike horizontal strike horizontal reverse it out reverse strike thrust block it low smack it rip it thrust come around smash protect smash and thrust thrust the enemy right off the cliff and then we can do it all over again right here right here into number one spin turn it back into the number two spin i'm gonna bounce it right here off of my arm back into the number one spin then go into the strikes horizontal horizontal reverse reverse it out thrust block low rip it up smack thrust around smack them down protect stack them down thrust them off the cliff pause the video take a little bit of time to honor the one who wears purple donatello and trains and bow staff for 60 seconds go the next ninja turtle that is on the list you know him he's the one in orange he's the party dude it's michelangelo with the nunchucks right here nunchuck move number one i want you to work is our vertical strikes just like this you can work them out together smacking downwards smacking upwards just like that or you can alternate them just like this right down left down right down left down now you can rebound off of your hip you can rebound off of your arms or you can kill them down by your legs kill the chucks work all three variations move number one your vertical strikes then from here we're going to move number two the horizontal strikes right here get a little bit of the right on top get a little bit of the left on top get good at that and then alternate smack them get them oh yeah then from here we're gonna cross it over we're gonna go into our powerful diagonal strikes right here bottom hand top hand and then into our double weave get it over keep striking and chamber it right here now you're going to shoot it out boom shoot them out right in front of them jab them right in the face or alternating right there then you're going to hit him horizontal with the right hit him on the horizontal with the left alternate get him over here get him over here get him over here get him behind you get him in front of you and then uppercut and then we're gonna go ahead and do it all over again back into the vertical strikes [Applause] collect them up and now it's your turn to go get your partying on michelangelo [Applause] next turtle coming out of the shadows he's cool he's crude he's dripped in red he fights with the psy he is raphael let's take a look at how raphael would fight if he was training in kali now if the ninja turtles were actually training in kali and filipino martial arts rafael would most likely not be using psy this is not a filipino martial arts weapon per se but we could go ahead and use it but if he was training in kylie he'd probably be using two long combat knives like eight to ten inch blades on his knives but we're having fun and we're paying homage to the ninja turtles so let's take a look at how kali would use the side first thing is we're going to jab it three times one two three to the left one two three jabs to the right then let's work on our grip switches right here we're going to flip them flip them flip them let's alternate them right here right there and then some of the techniques that we could see from kali we're going to come into the tap low jab them then we're going to tap it high lock in the arm and thrust other side tap low and jab them block it lock the arm and thrust from here we're going to double block thrust thrust thrust double block thrust thrust thrust bring it back in we're going to parry lock the arm hooking with the hook of the side and break the elbow smashing with this part of the side right there to break the elbow and then elbow smack and thrust and then we're going to work it on the other side parry capture the arm break the arm elbow smack and thrust if you don't want to be as deadly then you can go back to the jab jab jab jab jab jab jab flip it work it out right there get them together okay work that timing alternate work the coordination right here boom tap jab block lock the arm thrust other side tap jab block lock it and thrust now from here double block thrust stress thrust double block thrust thrust thrust gather yourself meditate raphael needs to do more grounding and centering and you probably won't have such an attitude problem all the time anymore right he's gotta chill out be a little more like michelangelo but then you parry you laugh you break the arm you elbow you smash and thrust other side parry lock break the elbow elbow smack and thrust now you get to work a little bit of that sigh get out there be cool be crude but don't have a crazy attitude like raphael will you ruin your day and everyone else's but get out there and go train the sign pay homage to raphael last but not least my favorite ninja turtle of all of them he's the one who leads he's the one who fights with two swords leonardo the one in blue now of course in filipino martial arts you're gonna see my blades are curved differently than leonardo's traditional blades my blades are curved forward almost more like a spartan copus we like the ford blades because they're more bad ass but train with whatever you got let's take a look at some sword fighting techniques of leonardo if he was a trained kali starting off right here in the chamber position i'm going to cut up with the left hand double slash down double slash down alternating cuts right here again on the third time thrust cut cut thrust cut cut then we go into four cuts high low low high back the other way high low low high we're going to go into a re-vase reverse cuts thrust thrust thrust reverse cuts to the right thrust thrust thrust and then we go into our 360 defense cut one cut two behind you clear with the left hand as you cut in front of you again and all the way back through now you do the same thing repeat it on the left hand side slash it up double cut down double cut down reverse cuts one two three thrust cut cut thrust cut cuts from here cut high cut low cut low cut high cut high cut low cut low cut high reverse it out to the right thrust thrust thrust we race it out to the left thrust thrust thrust 360 defense in front of you behind you clear and then cut back in front of you and then you're back ready on the right hand side to start it all over again [Applause] now it's your turn go grab two swords or your two khali sticks and go work these moves of leonardo are boying blue the one who leads so pause the video and pay homage with your double sword training for 60 seconds honoring leonardo thanks so much for hanging out with me in this video so that way we could pay some
