Dan Inosanto is a master of Filipino Kali. It's a great martial art. It's the martial art I'd pick for the United States, if I had to pick just one.
It's very weapons oriented. Other martial arts introduce you to weapons after you've been studying for 2 years and have attained a black belt. Kali starts you right off with rattan sticks, then machetes and other edged weapons almost overnight.
Everyone (conservative) in America should know how to pick up a stick and wale on (a liberal) an attacker or intruder. It's good cardiovascular exercise, too.
It has its share of empty handed techniques, kicks, take-downs, choke-holds and submissions, too.
That stick fight they had in that bar is a basic Siniwali drill that you'll see entire classes practicing just as fast and flashy as that anywhere they teach Kali.
In a real fight you'd be trying to hit your opponent's hands and the rest of his body as opposed to the stick being the primary target.
If you did that in practice, practice would be over real quick. ;^)
