Sinawali Tornado Cut

This is the second chapter of my Sinawali series, adding on to the previous Heaven Six + Tornado Spin combination with the inclusion of the Tornado Cut. This pattern involves a hand-over-hand motion, cutting around the head and unsheathing from the armpit. Please watch and review part one before practicing or commenting. Thanks!

[@SakanLam]

You're very welcome! Thanks for taking the time to practice and experiment with my combinations. Best wishes and good luck with training!

[@tharillest]

Awesome stuff brother! Keep posting great stuff!

[@SakanLam]

Bless you brother, the support means a lot! I'll do my best to make some quality vids. Take care!

[@rebeccarea479]

Well done. Informative. Excellent demonstration. Experianced Kali person and a beginner can both learn from this.

[@SakanLam]

Thank you very much! I've learned that I have a talent for communicating technique clearly.

[@barnesythecat4111]

GREAT VIDEO. Learned a lot from WAMPYR. Learning a lot from your videos also. 2 great teachers. Thank you.

[@SakanLam]

Glenn R About 2 years ago I saw a video from Bladesociety about Filipino knife fighting. I then made it a point to do a self-study of the Filipino Martial Arts. Wmpyr was one of those most influential on me in my training, and most importantly, on my channel. Our efforts are dedicated to you, the community, and the preservation of all martial arts! Thank you!

[@elmanncabotage9062]

I shared this with my class last night. We all really dig it!

[@SakanLam]

I'm really happy that you got to share it with your training group! Would love to see some video of you guys practicing some time, as well. Best wishes and thank you for the support.

[@SakanLam]

I'm honored that you would share my work with your students, Guro. From what I've seen, you are an amazing teacher!

I'm always looking for variations to the basic double sinawali and this flow is amazing and the flow so smooth! Thanks for sharing this. Pugay!

[@SakanLam]

I'm glad you appreciate it. This one is fun and challenging for all Kali practitioners. Pugay!

[@Strawhat_Pirates3D2Y]

Definitely not easy! I prefer to keep the blade in mind when using sticks so, when you have your "sword" go through your pit like that.. I can't help but think you're slicing yourself. I'll probably change the placement of that strike to accommodate a bladed style. Other than that, I can't wait to get to work on this drill~

[@SakanLam]

Yeah you're absolutely right. It's always important to have context with your weapon and an end goal for your training in mind. Thanks for the comment and trying out this drill!

[@Strawhat_Pirates3D2Y]

@@SakanLam My pleasure! I appreciate you sharing your skills with us. You're doing all us students a service with your videos. And in this case, for years to come~

[@hopprogram7006]

Thanks for this! I always hit my head with the sticks. I hope you have tips apart from my physiologic weak body spatial awareness

[@SakanLam]

Most important thing to do is take your time and build coordination. Flow is more important than speed... Smooth is fast. Get your reps in and good luck!

[@SilverWolf9688]

Oh my god, great drill!!

[@SakanLam]

Definitely worth practicing every once in awhile.

[@SilverWolf9688]

@@SakanLam Thanks for this contribution. Greetings from Acapulco Mexico

[@khadijahjoysams6172]

Thank you. For betterment, what do you recommend is more important? Leaning the movements and practicing on a dummy? Or just randomly wailing the sticks on the dummy. Also for how long should I practice one set of movement on the dummy? I am trying to get better. Thank you and God is blessed

[@SakanLam]

Hi Khadijah. The most important thing is to relax and build coordination with your movements and the weapon. Try to get as many reps as you can once you have the technique down by memory. Avoid randomly wailing sticks on the dummy. Once you can do the technique without thought, then you can freestyle with it. Blessings.

[@makabebe9515]

A little question, are these combinations are used in fights? Or they're only for training?

[@SakanLam]

maka bebe These are mostly for drilling coordination. They can be used for fighting as well... I've used them in sparring before.

[@makabebe9515]

Okay, thanks.

how long did it take you to learn all the moves?....I already know the sinawali part but I got lost midway lol

[@SakanLam]

The base moves which I learned from Kung Fu and Kali took at least two weeks to get. This drill was just a matter of finding the transitions

[@kevin080592]

Do you have a holiday training course in Philippines that you can recommand? I search to do it for 2 or 3 months

[@SakanLam]

PatrickRecordon I've never been to the Philippines, but would recommend you train with Rapido Realismo Kali (RRK).

[@PatrickRecordon]

Sakan Lam ok I will research it on internet

[@SakanLam]

Check out Bladesociety on KZbin as well. rapidorealismokali.weebly.com/

[@mygamesmusic4164]

Sakan Lam can i ask you if you know the 12 deadly strike of arnis??? you know 12 basic strike is deferent to 12 deadly strike isn't it??? because its a Secret of Philippine Arnis

[@WAHB50YY]

Awesome! Thanks

[@SakanLam]

WAHB 50YY Glad you enjoyed it! This one is fun.

[@WAHB50YY]

i have practiced Kali in 1994 for only one year, but I have always kept the Kali sticks with me all these years, and I would buy new ones if I lose them, and they are always with me in my car. Lately I have restarted working on my drills... It's great to find awesome videos like yours as a guidance! Keep up the great work!

[@SakanLam]

WAHB 50YY It's comments like these that make this channel so worthwhile. Thank you for carrying on the passion for the art!

[@WAHB50YY]

will soon attempt to learn this drill and film it, it would so kind of you if you can give me your feedback and give me suggestions on how to improve my technique!

[@SakanLam]

WAHB 50YY Yeah absolutely, would love to give feedback. Just keep in mind this is more of a flashy move rather than combat effective.

[@joshuaabella105]

this is nice

[@SakanLam]

joshua abella Yes it is a very fun drill to do. Please practice as much as possible! Thanks!

[@panther_mountain]

muy bueno !!!!☺👍

Gracias, mi amigo!

Nice I've never practiced this. i played with a bit of cali (escrima sticks) I'll give this a shot. Pretty kool.

[@SakanLam]

Thanks! Sinawali is a lot of fun, especial if you practice with a partner. Just make sure they don't hit your knuckles!

También es esencial si pudieran de ser posible las técnicas a mano básia desarme de cuchillo y palo o sable

[@SakanLam]

Yes, it's a great coordination drill for the other weapons as well!

[@ricardoguerrero5440]

great videos, may i suggest you putting it in slow motion, or going slower, your a skilled practitioner, for us who are trying to follow you, it seems way to fast!

[@SakanLam]

Thank you Ricardo. There is an option to play each video at x.25 or x.5 speed. The option should be in the settings icon for each video. Also most of my online courses have slow motion editing as well.

[@Tyler_Lalonde-]

it was hard to hear but did you say live steel? if so at 0:48 you would draw the blade across your armpit.

[@SakanLam]

+Tyler Lalonde Yeah you would certainly end up cutting yourself if you used a live blade using this drill. I encourage my students to imagine the sticks as blades so that they hit at the proper angles. This is from the Kabbarroan system, so certainly must be an adapted stick style modified from the bladed arts.

[@scarletnadineconcepcion7426]

+Tyler Lalonde just a suggestion with live blades. i'm doing it from the side of my arms not from under the arm. practice is the key.

[@SakanLam]

Aldrin Concepcion Perfect! Thank you for the clarification.

[@Tyler_Lalonde-]

Aldrin Concepcion​ don't worry. I do it from the side too it's by the waist for me Sakan Lam​​ aldrin is right just drop it to the side. I keep it by my waist. 

[@Tyler_Lalonde-]

Sakan Lam what is Kabbarroan do you know of other vids that would show it.

[@sharpasfhuuk7355]

tornado plane ?

[@Phrasenprescher]

quite nice when using sticks... but would not work with swords

[@SakanLam]

Chino van Dankenstein Yeah I'm not sure how they derived the motion honestly.

[@keagengrace4129]

I've ran it with swords. Wanted to ensure my angles were clean while learning it, before switching back to sticks. I obviously had to invert the pull through chamber on the additional set of cuts so it was the backblade drawing along my arm, but it does work.

[@SakanLam]

There you have it... Thanks for experimenting and trying it out!

[@fashionemporium7670]

your sticks remind me of chocolate pocky sticks

[@SakanLam]

Damn, now you got me craving Pocky!

[@HajiDumas]

If I tried this with blades I'd cut my Afro. ;--;

[@SakanLam]

+Haji Dumas If it were a clean cut, then it'd be all good!

[@banegriffis2972]

tornado is real spettacular... But to me is no good for real combat

[@SakanLam]

Bane Griffis Of course. It's a coordination drill and meant to be fun.

[@banegriffis2972]

Sakan Lam this tornado spin is your invetion?

[@SakanLam]

Bane Griffis Not quite. It's a combination I put together of Shaolin double sword and Kabarroan style sinawali from Kali.
