Learn the basics of stick fighting in a 2 hour seminar on the beach in beautiful Samara Beach Costa Rica
In my 2 hour seminar I cover the basic concepts of Arnis, the Filipino art of stick fighting. This is an aggressive system, but not complex. The system is based upon a pattern of angles for attack and defense. There are only certain ways to attack the body with a weapon. Once you learn to recognize where a strike is coming from you can apply one of the defenses that will work for several angles of attacks.
IN 2 HOURS WE COVER
The basic "6" angle striking system
Concept of long or short stem strikes, rap strikes
Concept of torque for power
