Inside Snake Disarm | Dog Brothers Insights & Fight-Tested Strategies

The Inside Snake Disarm is one of the most common stick disarms in Filipino Martial Arts (FMA), often occurring when closing the gap against an opponent. But does it always work? In this video, I break down the realities of executing this move under pressure and what a fighter needs to be prepared for when attempting it in a real fight. I start by sharing insights from when the *Dog Brothers* first explored this technique in their original Real Contact video series. From there, we discuss how and why you close the gap to get into a disarm position, the risks involved, and how your opponent might counter your attempt. Some key points we cover: ✅ Why and when the *Inside Snake Disarm* works effectively ✅ Common counters opponents will throw at you ✅ The difference between drills vs. "real combat application" ✅ Glove selection: Why I prefer thinner, lighter gloves for stick fighting ✅ When this technique is useful—and when it can get you in trouble Whether you're training for "full-contact stick fighting", self-defense, or just refining your FMA skills, this breakdown will give you a better understanding of how to apply the Inside Snake Disarm when it matters most.
