So…you like Filipino Martial arts…getting those sticks to move fast is nearly as much fun as getting your lady to move fast (if it’s more fun, you need to talk to your therapist…or you are just doing it wrong).If you happen to live in Singapore, you will never have to use a stick to fight, it’s that safe…in the rest of the world, there may come the day when that stick in your hand…or that baton…or in my case, that Cold Steel Heavy Duty Sword Cane…is the only thing standing between you and the sadness of your family crying at your graveside!Given that possibility, you may want to ask yourself whether a ton of fancy disarms and “three-stick- sinawali drills (you are standing on one leg, the third stick is held by the toes of your raised leg, it’s Dan Inosanto’s latest innovation for the FMA world) are the things that will obviate the need for your family coming up with money for your funeral!?Perhaps you want to rather go with the teachings of someone who learnt the whole “classical thing”, taught it at master level and then started whittling down the inessentials and adding in a few original ideas based on his personal experiences in police work and the like. And added other workable and fitting pieces from compatible systems he has come across.In which case, Hock Hochheim is your man. These twelve tapes show his complete non-traditional FMA stick system with less body fat on it than your favourite stripper down at your local strip club. These tapes are not widely available (which is why they haven’t been here yet, although they were produced a while ago) and, if you are interested in using FMA methods for actual combat survival, you owe it to yourself to get them! (FMA = Filipino Martial Arts). Oh, and a point of information: I have less than 600 Gig space on my stupid little “desk top mini tower” Acer, so I upload any given product and if no-one grabs it within 24 hours, I delete the product and upload something else. Did that with two BJJ products in the last week, one by Lovato Jr. and also Grundhauser on Side Control. Just saying that making a mental note to download this in a week or two…may not work! Anyways…From the sales page:JUNGLE  FIGHTINGPacific Archipelago ConceptsFighting methods from the Philippines, Indonesia, Hawaii, Japan Martial Arts “Think of all the great systems of the Pacific and the best things inside them! Karate from Japan. Kali Silat from Indonesia. Arnis, Filipino Stick Fighting, Escrima from the Philippines. Hawaii’s conversion of Kenpo / Kenpo. Kajukenbo. Warlike tactics of the Polynesian peoples who explored and settled so much of the Pacific. The Ring of Fire! This region’s history of military conflicts, each one is better than the other in different ways. It has always been this bigger Pacific collective of hand, stick and knife martial that I have loved. Never just one system. Hybrid practitioners-free thinking experts from several systems-simply produce the best fighters. The very foundation of this course is based upon that principle, to produce that type of free, hybrid fighter. ” – Hock“Hey Hock, I’m at the end of one of two days of a “famous Filipino guy” seminar. Had an absolute blast, but I can barely remember a single thing. Thanks for making a system that’s as simple, straight-forward, logical, and professional as your PAC. I take you for granted sometimes until l’m reminded I can either memorize the 27 techniques of (insert foreign-sounding drill name here), both inside and outside variations, plus the advanced 13 extensions and 4 subsections, or I can memorize your four positions on the combat clock and get it all and never forget it! Hope you’re doing well.” –Don Young of MichiganPacific Archipelago Combatives Consists of: Mano Mano, Silat, Kenpo, Jujitsu and more from the many Pacific Islands flowing systems of kicking, hand striking, trapping, grappling/ground fighting. Hand versus hand, and empty hand vs. weapons. Single cane combat. Double cane combat. Cane and knife combat – Espada Y Daga Knife combat Hand to hand (mano mano) combat Forged in the Ring of Fire – The Pacific Archipelago systems are:The Arnis / Kali Silat/ Escrima of the Philippine ArchipelagoThe Silats of Indonesian and Filipino ArchipelagosThe Karates, Jujitsu and Aiki-Jujitsu of Japanese ArchipelagosKajukenbo and Hawaii’s Conversions of Kenpo/Kempo to AmericaCane and Knife Fighting from all of the Pacific IslandsPolynesian hand, cane and small club fightingOver three decades ago, Hock began amassing the most combative aspects of Filipino Stick Fighting systems and Kali Silat, attaining several black belts and certifications, strengthening it all with his military and police training and experience for a reality check. He has spent the last 21+ years dedicated to finding the common threads, correcting and omitting sport aspects, artsy extravagances and isolating the very essence of combat. Hock reports he has never really felt comfortable forced to teach only one. He blended all these systems with his prior years in other martial arts like karate, kenpo and jujitsu and added his 23+ years experience in policing and military training. His years of teaching culminated into this hardcore PAC format.Taught in standing, walking, running and kneeling and ground fighting applications, the overall PAC course covers 5 main areas of study, empty hand combat, single cane combat, double cane combat, knife combat, knife and cane combat is structured this common sense learning progression:Solo command and mastery – every practical movement scientifically collected is here and worked solo and on objects for power development.Skill developing synergistic, flow drills.Hardcore combat drills.Sparring in all areas – In stick fighting, Hock emphasizes the head shot, or the “Kill shot” which conceptually works to kill-shot or diminish the fighter, working for a knock-out, disablement, or allowing for the follow-up disarm and takedown possibilities. He believes that bashing away with sticks and ignoring helmet shots teaches students to virtually “commit suicide!” “If too many of your stick fights are ending in submission tap outs or chokes on the ground? Something ain’t right with your stick fighting. In Kill Shot, there is a coach with each fight to call the fight as it would really happen. Helmets must be worn, but helmet shots cannot be ignored. They count. “Disarms and Counters to Disarms/Weapon Retention.Joint cranks or “locking” and counters.Takedowns and throws.Crisis rehearsing combat scenarios.http://www.forcenecessary.com/self-defense-courses/pacific-a…
