Very entertaining demos! Thanks for posting these.
For anyone who thinks that FMA is based primarily in Spanish methods of combat - they should check these demos out. It has much of the flavor of FMA movements, and since the predominant terminology for warfare in Pre-Hispanic Philippines was Sanskrit - it is easy to see why.
All one has to see are old clips of Filipino Manongs doing their thing and you will see so much of the Indian influence in their movements.
