Conclusion:
I hope this video increased your understanding of what the Sumbrada Training Method is.
I like sumbrada because it offers the student an intermediate step between isolated skills and all out sparring.
Yes - Truth is outside the Pattern
But Truth is also inside the Pattern
You want to Master the Basics so you can Transcend them.
Realizing Mastery is not a destination, but an ongoing process.
And so it goes, with good practice over time
…when skills no longer require thought
......then talent may truly blossom.
Good luck in training.
............May you enjoy the journey.

We had a great time making this video. I love the Flow State that the Sumbrada Training Method offers. Technically, 'True Sumbrada' is counter for counter everything while being in a flow state. Now of course, this is not fighting. It is simply one of several training methods from the Filipino Martial Arts. We originally planned to share more material in this video. The script called for a variety of weaponry to be shown in these drills accompanied with detail description on subtle variances. Unfortunately, we were not able to share that in this video. Nor were we able to share the more intense sparring that the Sumbrada method can quickly transition into. Ultimately though, I'm quite pleased with this piece of work. I like the material that we were able to capture on camera. And I'm particularly pleased with how the outro turned out. I hope you enjoy this video and find value in the material covered.

More vids like to see best moves for anti knife 🔪 attack and dirty boxing with elbows and knees vid be great

[@alextop1850]

This be great

[@chrisdunnettmusic]

Absolutely the best breakdown of Sumbrada I have seen! Very well done Guru! I like how you broke down that each move could end the fight...something that is often overlooked by outsiders. Many think it's just a choreographed dance designed to look fancy not realizing all the "in-betweens". Was cracking up towards the end blocking his vision LOL Poor Alex :) Great scenery too! Kinda looks like Hocking Hills but I'm guessing it was Yellow Springs?

[@DaytonKaliAcademy]

Thanks Chris! 🙏 This was filmed in a small forest just outside of downtown Dayton ⚔😎🌱🌳🌲🌿🍀

[@wesleyzane]

this extremely thorough explanation got me to subscribe to your channel keep up the good work and thank you

[@DaytonKaliAcademy]

Thank you🙏

[@grimjimreaper]

Excellent instruction... Jeremiah is an excellent and patient instructor. Not only does he give instruction, he also explains the history of the art. You would be hard press to find an instructor of his caliber anywhere else in the Dayton area.

[@DaytonKaliAcademy]

Thank You🙏😎⚔

[@ROMANSOLDIER3]

I remember doing this exact 5 Count Sumbrada in Doce Pares Escrima. Really love your explanations for every move! Great video 👍

[@DaytonKaliAcademy]

Oh yes. Right on! Thank you for your positive feedback 👍

[@robertfromf630]

Wow what a great tribute to this drill. “…come on you can do it, play the game…” [smack smack] You have to love it. 😅i could feel the fun you had filming.

[@DaytonKaliAcademy]

We definitely had a great time making this video! Thanks for commenting. 🙏

[@edsson2648]

I truly appreciate your explanation on how to incorporate the sumbrada into one's tool belt 👍🏿

[@usarmymedic1334]

Both this and Punya sumbrada was my all-time favorite training methods. Awesome video

Yes, I do love being in a flow state

[@davidhumphrey1651]

Excellent. Really good. Hi from CDO, Mindanao

[@DaytonKaliAcademy]

Thank you 🙏. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@Shacksies]

Sumbrada is the best and most fun drill ever, and it was a big part of what made me really fall in love with Kali. Thanks for showing how to expand the drill and introduce new elements to it. I would love to see more in this series. Maybe you could show staff sumbrada or mixed weapon matchups in future videos, along with the sparring aspects you mentioned that you weren't able to fit in the video. I really like the cinematography and beautiful shots of this forest. I would love to do Kali in such a gorgeous place. You have some really high quality content here.

[@DaytonKaliAcademy]

Thank you for commenting. I agree - Sumbrada is so much Fun! There are definitely several more videos I would like to make on the subject. Thank you for the positive feedback🙏⚔

[@MichaelDubinMusic]

Rockin as always great video! 😎⚔️👏🏼

[@DaytonKaliAcademy]

Thanks Buddy! 🙏⚔😎

[@ryanjohnson5079]

Can you please make a separate video on the double stick sumbrada?

[@DaytonKaliAcademy]

I could, but it's not currently on the list. Technically, if you can do single stick sumbrada, you should be able to figure out double stick and stick & dagger sumbrada. For double stick - try the basic 5 count and simply use the tip of the left stick as your check hand. As long as you don't tangle your sticks up, you're probably doing it right.

[@Train4Combat]

The thrust is an inside deflection with stick and the wing is with the back of fore arm..the hand does not grab

[@bktjkbktjk3665]

Do you train,/teach edge to edge contact with sword drills?

[@DaytonKaliAcademy]

I used to exclusively teach defending with the flat of the sword. I now teach both blocking with the flat & the edge and then have a discussion about the pros and cons. Defending with the flat of the blade obviously preserves the edge's integrity for prolonged combat. But taking repeated impacts against the flat of the blade significantly increases the chances of breaking your sword during combat. Over the years I've increased my research on this issue, and I've found teachers that feel very strongly about one or the other method with evidence to back up both ideologies. Currently, I simply share this information with my students and allow them to choose their own way.

Three Thumbs Up!

Feel very sad for the people of Ohio with gas poisoning that will last for decades to come....

[@Kali-Silat]

Inguardabile. 😭

[@stephenderong9151]

Out of due respect, your roof block is too horizontal. You need to angle it, you need pitch to your roof. We don’t have a flat roof.

[@DaytonKaliAcademy]

This technique is named after the ridge pole of an equatorial house. The ridge pole is horizontal, just like the apex of modern roof construction. FMA terms & techniques significantly vary depending on the system. The technique you're describing could also be called a wing. Once again, this depends on your system of study. I teach 9 styles of FMA out of my school. This video shows one of the drills with appropriate terminology from one of those systems.

[@stephenderong9151]

It’s always been taught to always assume the weapon is going to continue its’ path. We can’t assume our roof is strong enough to stop the attack. But then again, I’ve only studied Modern Arnis, Doce Pares, and a little Pekiti Tirsia. Anyhow, great content!
