SportsTranscript
00:00In this sport, everything is a lot.
00:07But I really suck at fighting.
00:09Oh, my nuts.
00:11So we've got three things to master.
00:13Defending, attacking and pain.
00:16Yes, we have to master pain.
00:18And then we will fight for the first time in our lives.
00:22And we will learn these three things by one of the best in the sport
00:25who happens to live in my country.
00:27We're basically neighbors.
00:28My name is Franz Stoepum. I'm Dutch. I'm from Holland.
00:31This is Grandmaster Franz.
00:33And right now, we are in his gym.
00:35This is one of the best schools in the world.
00:36I cannot say that, but we are not the worst.
00:38Is it? Is it?
00:39Yeah.
00:40It is.
00:41Do you think we can learn something today?
00:43Of course you can learn.
00:44You are in good shape.
00:45Yeah, he's a little bit fat, but...
00:47Right now, I can't fight.
00:48And why I want to learn this sport is because it's also very focused on self-defense.
00:52I am the least violent person ever.
00:54But after making a video about knife crime in London,
00:57it made me think about self-defense and how useless I am today.
01:00Self-defense for me is most important.
01:02Franz is 67 years old and he taught everyone here the skills.
01:06And he will show us how to disarm someone in all types of ways.
01:09You can really see how they focus on taking the weapons.
01:12Yes.
01:13And because self-defense is one of the most important things,
01:15we're starting with that.
01:16On the website it also said that we take the opponent's weapon.
01:19Yeah, disarm.
01:20Let's say if he hits me here, I go...
01:23What?
01:24I disarm.
01:25So easy.
01:26I'm a complete noob.
01:27Where do I start?
01:28We stand like this, right?
01:29And you block the stick.
01:31And you push so much.
01:33I stood like this.
01:35Yeah.
01:36I'm here now.
01:37I do this.
01:38And I...
01:39Keep your stick.
01:40Keep your stick.
01:41So you don't have the stick.
01:42What?
01:43I'm just helpless.
01:44You hit me from this side.
01:47Normally.
01:48Bam.
01:49Now.
01:50Break your arm.
01:51Here.
01:52Hit the head.
01:55Did you hear?
01:56I go like this.
01:57And then.
01:58Here.
01:59And it's gone.
02:00It's gone.
02:01First disarm of the day.
02:02Hey.
02:03I feel safer now.
02:04Yes.
02:05We block here.
02:06Now I can get the thumb.
02:07I don't want to hold on to that.
02:11And I hit first his hand.
02:13Then.
02:14I go there.
02:15Yeah.
02:16How?
02:17I don't even see it.
02:18It's so fast.
02:19Bam.
02:20Bam.
02:21Boom.
02:22The first question that pops in my mind right now is.
02:23Have you ever used this in real life?
02:24Yes.
02:25Actually I was together with my wife.
02:26There was a group.
02:27About 50 people attending from my house.
02:29I go outside.
02:30I brought the stick with me.
02:31And then I feel something in my back.
02:33So we hit two guys.
02:35And the rest was.
02:36Mr. Pia.
02:37I was about to say.
02:38You don't want to mess with her.
02:39Escrima is a Filipino martial art that was allegedly banned for hundreds of years by
02:44Spanish invaders.
02:45Because they were afraid that it was too effective.
02:48And later during World War 2 it was banned again by the Japanese.
02:51But it survived through practicing it as a dance instead of fighting.
02:55Which France's wife Leonora is showing us right now.
02:58She is from the Philippines and also a world champion in this sport.
03:03And fast as well.
03:04Wow it goes faster and faster.
03:06Wow.
03:07That's really cool.
03:08How long have you been doing this?
03:09I think 11 years old.
03:11You focused on stick training?
03:13First what we do is we let people train with sticks.
03:16But they also practice with knives.
03:18What type of knives are these?
03:19Oh okay.
03:20Not real knives.
03:21They're not sharp at all.
03:22Looking at this knife I really wanted to test France.
03:25I am an unknowing guy.
03:26I would see you on the street and I don't like you.
03:29Knife fighting is always dangerous.
03:31You always have to expect that your own blood will also flow in.
03:34But if you accept that, then there is no problem.
03:36Then there is no problem.
03:37If you step to my stomach, my hand is there.
03:40So I can disarm now.
03:42Okay, that would be...
03:44You know how to counter basically any move?
03:48I think so, yes.
03:50Want to give it a try?
03:51Yeah, you can do it.
03:52So if I do this...
03:55I'm done.
03:57And I'm done.
03:59I'm already there.
04:01I can disarm.
04:03Now you can hit me with that.
04:07I can try to fight you, but you will destroy me.
04:10I think so, yes.
04:11While we definitely experienced defense, our weapons were taken.
04:15A lot.
04:16Can you tell that you were world champion?
04:17I was a world champion.
04:18This was a thousand.
04:19Four?
04:20In 2004.
04:21That's basically when he was born.
04:22Yeah.
04:23And I'm saying this because I was shocked to learn his age.
04:26I'm 15 a month, so...
04:27Damn, you look fit, bro.
04:28Yes.
04:29The X strike.
04:30Like this.
04:31X.
04:32Put some power in it.
04:35Damn.
04:36That's loud.
04:37That's very loud.
04:38This looks really bad.
04:39We definitely need to improve this today.
04:42That's nice.
04:43Still a little bit stiff in the body.
04:45Just go with the flow.
04:47I'm always super stiff.
04:52Guys.
04:53Guys.
04:54Guys.
04:55This is not hitting, you know.
04:56You have to think about...
04:57You hit your mother-in-law.
04:58Like...
04:59Bam.
05:00Bam.
05:01Bam.
05:02I don't want to be his mother-in-law.
05:03You have to hit hard.
05:04But I will get hit today.
05:05Hard.
05:06But we are getting better.
05:07So time for the next move.
05:08Now another strike.
05:09We do...
05:10Lanza.
05:11Horizontal.
05:12What?
05:13There's so much power.
05:14Crazy.
05:15Okay.
05:16Stop it.
05:17You like it.
05:18Yes.
05:19Try to hit with the last 10 centimeters of the stick.
05:21And while I was focusing on my tip, I literally lost my stick.
05:22You have this arm.
05:23You don't need to fight me.
05:24I would just lose my weapon.
05:25Normally you have to push up.
05:26I have to push up.
05:27I have to do 20 pushers then.
05:28I am noticing that Arjen is picking this up a little faster than I do.
05:45I mean, he is really good with sticks.
05:47But I need to push harder.
05:48Alright.
05:49So now, you do X.
05:51You go back.
05:52And you jump in.
05:53Like this.
05:54Nice.
05:55Way.
05:56And jump in.
05:57Yeah.
05:58I want to learn this move to use it against Arjen during our fight.
06:03Yeah.
06:04Like that.
06:05Now we need to put it all together and learn speed.
06:08Because this is how fast they fight.
06:10Damn.
06:11What?
06:12This looks insane.
06:13How long have you guys been doing this?
06:15I am practicing this sport since I was a kid.
06:19I am practicing this sport since I was a kid.
06:22I am practicing this sport since I was 22.
06:25So almost 28 years.
06:2619, 20 years.
06:27How long have you been doing this sport?
06:29I do it now 42 years.
06:3142 years.
06:32And this next move or training so far comes together.
06:35One.
06:36One.
06:37Three.
06:38Four.
06:39So fast.
06:40So incredibly fast.
06:41One.
06:42Three.
06:43Four.
06:44Five.
06:45Five.
06:46This was crazy tiring.
06:49Two.
06:50Much harder.
06:51Three.
06:52One.
06:53One.
06:54One.
06:55One.
06:56Two.
06:57Yeah.
06:58Before going to pain, there is one final thing to master attacking.
07:02And oh boy, these guys really want to tire us out.
07:05You stay on the front side of your body.
07:08Like this.
07:09So, be relaxed, relax, relax.
07:12Tension and relax.
07:13Very important, don't lose your stick.
07:15Because maybe he will go to his head.
07:17Just go in a circle.
07:19Yeah.
07:20Keep it going.
07:21Yeah.
07:22Again, Arjen picked it up really fast.
07:24You're a natural.
07:26Just like a X.
07:27Planza.
07:28Doe.
07:29X.
07:30Planza.
07:31Doe.
07:34If you get tired, it feels dangerous.
07:36Because I don't want to hit him.
07:37Of course.
07:38Yeah.
07:39Your grip starts to weaken.
07:40So it's the same one we just learned?
07:41Yeah.
07:42The X.
07:43And Planza.
07:44Horizonto.
07:45And then the slide.
07:46Yes.
07:47Okay.
07:48That one is difficult.
07:49You end here.
07:50And you have to go here for this strike though.
07:52One.
07:53Two.
07:54Three.
07:55It finally clicked.
07:57Yes.
07:59I was getting the hang of it.
08:01Nice.
08:02We mastered attacking.
08:03Now the only thing left is pain.
08:05Without pain, you cannot do a screamer.
08:08We signed up for this.
08:09And they straight up just started hitting each other.
08:11What you trained before.
08:12The X-Strike.
08:13The Planza.
08:14You have to keep in mind, these sticks are still very hard.
08:16But just for you, we will get hit with real sticks.
08:19Now we go a little bit faster.
08:20That's gonna be us.
08:21Yeah.
08:22So you really have to engage the core, right?
08:23Yes.
08:24I can also do this.
08:25That's my nipple.
08:26You're right?
08:27Yeah.
08:28Yeah.
08:29Yeah.
08:30Yeah.
08:31Yeah.
08:32Yeah.
08:33Yeah.
08:34What?
08:35You really feel this?
08:36Let's totally build it up.
08:37Yes.
08:38What?
08:39What?
08:40You really feel this?
08:41Let's totally build it up.
08:42Yes.
08:47What?
08:48Wow, bro.
08:49You win.
08:50Do you see redness?
08:51Yes.
08:52Yes.
08:53I will hit you now.
08:54Okay.
08:55Ready?
08:56Holy shit.
08:57I hit you.
08:58This is only the beginning, right?
09:12So now we do the same with normal sticks.
09:16And this is crazy.
09:23These guys know how to take a hit.
09:25Also on the nipple.
09:29And to master pain, it was our time to get hit.
09:31With real wooden sticks.
09:35Is this okay?
09:36Yes.
09:39Okay.
09:40One, two, three.
09:41One, two, three.
09:42One, two, three.
09:43One, two, three.
09:44One, two, three.
09:50My man.
09:51Did you see these his?
09:53What?
09:54And then he insisted that I hit him too.
09:56Hard.
10:01He is laughing, but it felt super unnatural to hit someone with a stake.
10:04Like really f***ing hard.
10:05What?
10:06I'm hitting so hard, guys.
10:07That's not playing this one.
10:08Bro, I'm hitting so hard now.
10:10Are you okay?
10:11I'm okay.
10:12This guy is crazy.
10:13Oh, you still have to go.
10:14Yes.
10:15I want to learn to scream out, so I have to do this.
10:17If you can't take it anymore, just scream.
10:18Okay.
10:19Okay.
10:20What do I need to think about?
10:21Hawaiian beaches.
10:22I will picture that.
10:28Yes.
10:30Hawaii.
10:32Beaches.
10:33Beaches, that was my face.
10:35Slower.
10:38It's okay, yeah?
10:42He can hit on the handle.
10:44He is crazy.
10:49Great, you can handle.
10:50It's good.
10:51Shit.
10:52I think you want to try also, I believe.
10:53To hit you?
10:54No.
10:55It's crazy.
10:56What?
10:57I'm just hitting someone with a stake.
11:00What?
11:01He's hitting a man with a stake.
11:02This feels so unnatural.
11:04What?
11:05You're still all right, Sam.
11:07What?
11:11What?
11:12This is so impressive.
11:13Luckily, our Gymshark shirt did survive.
11:15And you can get this shirt and a lot more clothing from Gymshark.
11:17Maybe you also get a bag to put your gym clothing in while you're at it.
11:19Link is in the description.
11:20Epic discount with code STAND10.
11:22It definitely did some damage.
11:26Look at those marks.
11:27This is where the stick hit.
11:28Yes.
11:29Those will be there for a few days, I think.
11:31To show the Grandmaster that we can handle pain and that we are ready for our fight,
11:35we had to get back to the tires.
11:36But this time, just keep going.
11:38Push through the tiredness and pain.
11:44I lost my stick.
11:4520 pushups.
11:46We were going as fast as possible until we just couldn't feel our hands anymore.
11:49Move a little bit.
11:50A little bit of movement.
11:51A little bit of movement.
11:54Two, one, stop.
11:55Brake, brake.
11:56Let's go.
12:00Let it flow, let it flow.
12:02Two, one, and brake.
12:04You are fighting, fighting the tire, fighting the tire.
12:07And then you get pulled away.
12:08Oh shit!
12:09And then you let's go.
12:10And you go in.
12:11No way.
12:13You go in.
12:15Like that.
12:16Crazy.
12:17This is what I teach the Special Force in Brazil.
12:20Let's go.
12:21Let's go.
12:22Let's go.
12:23Fight, fight.
12:24Go forward, go forward.
12:25Yes.
12:26Nice, nice.
12:29Nice, nice.
12:31Nice.
12:33Yeah, let's go.
12:34Yeah.
12:35How do you guys hold the stick?
12:36My hands are not so used to hitting.
12:38So I got blisters.
12:39And this hurts.
12:40Especially if you still need to use the hands.
12:44Let go.
12:47One more time.
12:48Let's go.
12:49Let's go.
12:52Then I got even more blisters.
12:56What?
12:57Normally he has all the blisters.
12:58I feel it, but I just keep going.
12:59He's telling me you're faster.
13:02He really plays that mental game well.
13:04But now Franz told us that we are ready for our fight.
13:07So while my blisters were getting taped up, the ring was being built.
13:10The fight will be three rounds, one minute each, and just nonstop defending, attacking, and pain.
13:17Good luck.
13:18Good luck.
13:19Don't die.
13:20You do.
13:21If I say go in, you go in.
13:22Move around.
13:23Move to the left, right, back in.
13:24And you have to block.
13:25Don't over.
13:27Do it.
13:28Let's go.
13:29Fighters, come to the middle.
13:30At this moment, I had a lot of thoughts rushing through my head.
13:32Damn.
13:33But the only things that mattered were defense, attack, handling pain, and using it all in this fight.
13:40Let's do it!
13:43Come on, come on, come on.
13:46Run, come on, come on.
13:47Come on, come on.
13:48Let this to him.
13:50Come on, come on.
13:55That one.
13:57Hit me!
13:58Hit me, he's not hitting me, hit me!
13:59Two, three, två.
14:00One, two, three, uno.
14:02Over here.
14:03Come on, who will it be?
14:05There we go.
14:06Go, tw tenÃa Orange.
14:07Why, your quadders!
14:08Yeah, go around, go around.
14:12You have to move fast and in now.
14:14Take a step if you go in now.
14:16Yeah, like that.
14:17Move around, move around guys, move around.
14:20To the left.
14:21To the left.
14:22And then hit his face.
14:24Okay, if I say go in, you have to go in.
14:26Hit and go over.
14:27You have to move fast.
14:28Do your reaction.
14:29Yes.
14:31Round two.
14:32Let's fight!
14:34Swinging of the hit, swinging.
14:36Hit the body, hit the body.
14:37Yeah, not one hit, three hits.
14:39One, two, three.
14:40Go in, one, two, three.
14:41Yeah, go out.
14:42Go in, one, two, three.
14:43Yeah, go out.
14:44Go in, one, two, three.
14:46I'm gonna hit his face.
14:49You have to hit harder.
14:50You have to hit harder.
14:51All right.
14:52All right.
14:53All right.
14:56One point off.
14:57Let's go.
14:58Fight!
15:00More hits, more hits.
15:01Hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit.
15:05One.
15:06One, two, three.
15:07One, two, three.
15:08One, two, three.
15:09One, two, three.
15:10First breath.
15:11First breath.
15:12First breath.
15:13Yes.
15:15Try to hit his head with the X strike.
15:17You're moving, that's good.
15:18If he goes high, you go low.
15:19If he's standing, you have to jump.
15:21Last round.
15:22Round three.
15:23Let's fight!
15:24Hit, jump, jump, jump, jump.
15:27Hit, hit.
15:28Hit, hit, hit.
15:30That's it.
15:31Two rounds.
15:32Go up.
15:33Go up.
15:34Go up.
15:35Get in and out.
15:36Get in and out.
15:37Go up.
15:38Go up.
15:39Go up.
15:40Go up.
15:41Go up.
15:42Yes.
15:43Watch.
15:44Keep watching it.
15:45Keep watching it.
15:46Get out, master.
15:47Go up.
15:48Get out, master.
15:49Come on.
15:50Come on.
15:51Come on.
15:52Go up.
15:53The tiredness really kicked in.
16:15I think I'm about to throw up bro.
16:18This is insane!
