What was your question?
Oh yea it was about You-tube.
I do not have an account, and no real videos. I assume there will be some out there. Just not posted by me.
I know I have to get with the late 20th century sometime before the second quarter of the current century begins.

On a serious note: I teach Balintawak in Singles and allow people to practice. There will be some pictures of one technique in particular where the back hand comes in and you block with your cane and stick your left hand under theirs and then hook up with the back of the hand and move it a little to your left and then lean a little to the right and strike your strike. Called Tucas - Visayan or Bisayan to English. To open a window or door.
In this position I usually stop before the strike, so lots of pictures are taken here. And it looks like I blocked the incoming strike with my wrist / forearm.
There might be a little on the "Fighting Sticks of Arnis" with Manong Bobby Taboada on the cover. I have not reviewed this in a few years and I do not remember if some teaching and interview made or just a short cut of an interview.
This DVD is not MINE - it is owned by Empty Minds Films.
I had no input to content or editing.

While many say they like my teaching style of breaking things down and getting people moving slowly and tying pieces together, the critique is that I do not explode and I need more flash.

As to Modern Arnis, there might be a couple from the 00's out there. Just once again not posted nor controlled by me.
NOTE: I am a large person who should loose a few more pounds in the mid section. This leads to some saying he cannot be a "real Fighter" or to be taken seriously. Ok, thank you for the feedback (* general not specific to anyone in particular *) and then I move on.
Martial Arts is a passion for me. Not my income. I have worked in the embedded software industry since 1991. This is how I pay my bills. So being up to speed on the latest technology to promote myself has not been a priority to me.
Something I may consider as I get closer to retirement from being an engineer.
