Sinawali Tutorial

[@SakanLam]

Incredible, I've never learned so much in such a short period of time from a youtube vid! You are an excellent instructor, thanks for sharing!

[@TheM088]

Very nice, slow breakdown of heaven 6 for teaching beginners. I have not seen the thrust/fulcrum yet. I think our style would call it thrust/breakout. I also appreciate the points on not starting closed-chamber; as soon as we start sparring, everyone naturally abandons closed-chamber starts!

[@HariOmRadhaKrishna]

Cool tire set-up. We train E-K-A on tires too, but tied onto a tree.

[@Daern42]

Thanks! I was looking at supplemental explanations to help work things out in my head and keep it fresh between classes. Great video!

[@halkael2317]

I'm learning as something to keep me busy (youtube taught hobby with home made sticks). I've been watching several videos, and nothing has helped me like your idea of hitting a tire. All these air targets get the form down, but the tire gets the rhythm down... You really know when youre off your mark!!

[@yamimbe]

Very good job making it look fun while bringing clarity to Sinawali. Awesome vid Sir!

[@YaaqovCrow]

I like your video. I also at some point realized everything is essentially sinawali, and things became a lot less complicated.

[@rommelcortezano7979]

Great video, Datu Worden does an excellent job of explaining his center line sinawali.

[@mountaingoattaichi]

Very clear explanation thanks. I have been wanting to learnt his forever.

[@antiserfdom]

Excellent video. Exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks so much

[@1911s4me]

I'm 47 in great shape and decided escrima was my latest challenge. Your video helped a beginner like myself better visualize heaven and earth. I also liked the added fan moves. Any other hints would help greatly! I'm using 26" hardwood 1-1/8" dia. sticks I made... I look like a baby colt trying to stand for the first time! lol :)

[@CharginDave]

Great channel man. Train in Va Beach, at I.M.P.A.C.T- Athletes. FMA school with emphasis on Sayoc Kali. Anyway, love your stuff.

[@nicolaskev]

Thanks that was a great help to me the way u broke it down makes alot of sense.

[@pittsguy7]

Thank you for the excellent tutorial.

[@gecko8553]

you make it so easy to learn!! nevermind the fact your not filipino. you make it VERY easy to learn

[@smkdude26]

VG. advice, instruction, and vid. Look forward to seeing more.

[@WendyOG]

Would you show how the base of your stacked tires look...maybe any hints on how you assembled that...I've been using a "hanging" tire but this looks really functional for my limited space...Really great instruction nice and clear...thank you

[@MrPatrick7777]

Much thanks. Begining to learn again... this is great stuff. Now to get some tires to play that music.

[@dustinblair3122]

I definitely got some stuff out of this thank you for the video

[@BlueDemon77]

Cheers!! Been doing that and it's been going pretty good thanks to your video!

[@Kondo87]

Very nice breakdown. Thanks for putting this up.

[@rebeccaherbertbjj]

I need to learn to stick fight. I would be a beginner at this so this is probably a good start. thanks.

[@gpmweb]

Really good tutorial - learning Kali at the moment and trying to get to grips with this

[@jackdulahudson6830]

I am trying to learn that move from a neighboring filipino grandpa,it is also good even without a cane just like knuckles streeght fighting.The rhythms is explosive.

[@romeowenceslao3668]

Wow very nice sinawali arnis

[@toyabullaseikh3807]

[@flaviohenriquebezerradasil4037]

Boa técnica, apesar de não falá seu idioma, mas compreendi sua instrução.

[@rbw596]

Very nice...thank you for this tutorial.

[@richard4135]

live hand should be strongest, fastest and most accurate. you use double speak in live hand dissciption. perhaps you've assigned the live hand label to the wrong hand. in saying all this, it was was a good tutorial and i learned a few things, and also noticed a couple of things i need to work on. thanks for the info

[@scannon90]

Having done kali for a fair stretch, the information wasn't particularly new, but I liked how you set up of tires in your yard so you can train by yourself. Ugly, but cheap and functional.

[@gamer_gex]

lol if u had done kali "for a fair stretch" ... of course the info isnt going to be new ... u funny

[@lakankusgan1]

Ang galing mo kapatid!

[@luiztigraomuaythaidicas]

Thank you so much, brother

[@bikramseal288]

You are great sir thanks sir

[@milagrosroman9978]

this is so simply you rock!

[@MrGizmoto]

nice. although this is introductory, exercise, and coordinate development; may I suggest trying 1 abaniko 123 (vs your demonstration on abaniko 123). It would be good practice power strikes. I feel moving from 1 chamber to inside abaniko more flash than fight-ending.

[@Scumbagius]

Could u elaborate more

[@KraussVideos]

Great video! Very helpful! I just started training in Kombatan Arnis. I was curious: At one point in the video, you said, "We try to practice everything as an offensive movement whenever possible". Could you explain the reasoning behind that? Just trying to soak up as much information as I can

[@tearstone2126]

Kali is more practical than more notable arts like Karate in that, it's kill or be killed, but there is an element of compassion as well. By attacking the incoming weapon or limb, you can damage or destroy it. You cannot be attacked by a weapon that has been sufficiently damaged or destroyed. Same goes for a limb. It also gives them a chance to escape with their life, or back off, if injured. Cutting a person's arm off as they strike at you is usually a good fight ender, whether they live or die. And it's easier to attack the limb or weapon as it's the closer goal than trying to hit the main body of your opponent first. They're trying to hit you, and you want their hand, which they just stuck out there for you, so.. take it off, or break it. It's... common sense, really.

[@KraussVideos]

Shidoshi Rayne Thanks :)

[@sterlinganderson1640]

I've studied martial arts for forty-years-plus. Not enough credit is given for an instructor's sincerity while teaching. I would send my kids to learn from him in a heartbeat. Clear, concise, clean, and his sincerity resonates even through the videos. Makes me proud to be a student of the arts... Especially FMA.

[@cesarbarrientos7519]

What is the bottom tire held on to that made it stay balanced ?

[@jorvik]

Great stuff thanks, I know the heavan drills but being able to put an abanico in there is something nw to me

[@heyitsalfe]

really enjoy your vidoes brotha. Keep it up!

[@maryalferez4204]

Same here, Sir.

[@Sithikus]

What is your Martial lineage. FMA like Kung Fu has as many styles as there are families practicing it. There are so many variations of the sinwali. Single, double, Heaven, Earth, Heaven and Earth, Ponyo, thrusting, Abaniko... and massive application within each one of the aforementioned systems..

[@Sithikus]

Incidentally, my FMA lineage comes from Kelly S. Worden's NSI ( Natural Spirit International ) Which has a partial foundation in Professor Remy P Presas' Modern Arnis. And J. Cui Brocka's Combat Arnis. As taught by Guro Dave Bird.

[@rafaelangelopiad8919]

Best Tutorial

[@BlueDemon77]

Awesome stuff as always....I'm a bit stuck on the fulcrum sinawali. You do the fulcrum and straight into a number one strike?

[@carlosalbertoeng]

Very nice!!!

[@portcitytattoo]

great video. I see you mesa tactical tshirt are you located in costa mesa?

[@pinoyjohntn]

good video! If my memory is correct that fulcrum sinwalli you show came from Sonny Umpad?

[@bradpack9340]

[@sayantess4950]

[@ulfgj]

[@bigwoklun]

Really informative

[@RONBONIX]

Awesome! Thank you! :)

[@T3HR3PP4]

Is the abaniko a feint or a parry?

[@donnypausa1103]

Good tutorial.

[@jagmohanbedi5857]

[@gerardodomagas2387]

I pronouns arnis Armnis. I like interior design. I put a foam brick wall in my restrm wall color gray

[@subepap]

Aren't you supposed to follow through with every hit you make (Not just hit tapping the tires)? Because if you just tap, you wouldn't be making much damage to your opponent compared to following through with every hit even if its just practice... ;)

[@gamer_gex]

soon all the masters practicing FMA will be non Filipino
