Staff it!

Been a while since I posted something instructional, as in hands-on instruction. So, let's change that state of affairs! Here is a lesson on the use of two handed stick/staff in line with the Bakbakan Kali curriculum of FMA - Dos Manos, or also used to teach the bladed weapon version, i.e. kampilan.. 

The forms in Bakbakan are used as lesson plan, and this video is a fairly good depiction of that approach. It was recorded for the purpose of teaching the material to members of the European Hub, but here it is made available for the readers of the blog! Remember, take each "bite" of the form and work on it as a separate combo/technique, in order to get as much mileage as possible from it.


I hope you get something from it...but at least - have fun!
