Serrada Eskrima: Khalid Khan: Fast FLOW DRILL-Ten Formats

[saav655]

im taught 12 basic strikes, idk if this is different but whatever

[PuYanHui]

Its not that there arent 10 formats but that this is his way of getting you to arrive at spontaneous blocking. Good luck trying to freeflow after merely memorizing the counters. you have to apply them enough to know when you have to abbreviate the counter and switch to something else. the ten formats just help you see that. After those 10 formats you naturally arrive at spontaneous blocking free flow.

Hello Khalid!

I hope you are still teaching. Let all your detractors show them thier video's and hard work. The rest of us admire your constant efforts to share your art.

Check out my little vid on Sinawalli Boxing free flow, This is Serrada's contribution to my personal development and a great way to train intermediatte students. It's a mixture of Serrada, NSI Modern Arnis and whatever works.

This must be Master Khan's Serrada system. GM Angel named the drill "FREE" flow for a reason. Never taught as a set pattern of movements. Perhaps, fixed patterns is good when one is teaching to the masses.

Not that it's not good nor effective, just not what GM Angel Cabales taught as part of his system.

Asalamu alikum master Khalid Great vids thank you for sharing your knowledge and to help propigate the filipino martial arts

[unclebraddah]

i have met this gentleman at a park training another person. he is technically proficient. i would put him in the category of "teacher", not "fighter". i did not sense a fighter's spirit from him. not that it is bad, we draw from martial arts what is unique unto ourselves.

Not fixed pattern.. It's a free flow sparring not set sparring

[grimreaper4848]

Another weird dude in a stupid hat!

The message you left shows you have little understanding of teaching! Fool

[silata]

is this khalid khan? im just wondering...

[fightingmink]

This news to me?? Never heard of anything "fixed" in Serrada Escrima.

[unclebraddah]

@fightingmink As far as this drill is concerned, it is fixed! Nothing spontaneous about this.

[fightingmink]

@unclebraddah Then you're taught wrong. I banged with this guys in flow sparring and they were lost. His drill may be fixed, but the correct way is spontaneous.

[unclebraddah]

@fightingmink i beg to differ. this is a drill...hence it is fixed. big difference from free flow. unless you wanna tell my teacher GM Dentoy Revillar that he's wrong.

[fightingmink]

@unclebraddah That's where the problem is... your learning an interpretation of Manong Angel's art. Much respect to Dentoy, but go on and believe that Serrada has fixed drills. Nothing wrong in believing. The only thing fixed are beginner's counters for strikes 1 thru 12. And those aren't drills. Flow sparring, counter for counter, pick flowing, espada y daga, rising sun, hmmm... nothing fixed there.

[unclebraddah]

@fightingmink I think you've misconstrued my original post. My initial post is in context to Mr. Khan's assertions of this video. I've met and played w/ other Masters of Serrada (i.e. Carlito, Anthony Davis, etc) and completely agree with you.

[fightingmink]

@unclebraddah We don't really "play" with the masters... we get schoolled. LOL. But anyway, never meant to sound negative or disrespectful... thanks bro. Yeah, those masters you mentioned are great (incl. Master Khalid), but they all interpreted Manong Angel's art their own way, which is not a bad thing. The art evolves and grows. As for me, I'm a purist and like to learn it originally and then interpret it my way. I was schooled by a lot of those masters and found one close to M. Angel's art.

Please note, that I dont teach using LEFT HAND in Flow Drill practice. This is so

for the first 3 months or so, everyone first

learns STICK vs. STICK fighting, without

utilizing the Left Hand. Once their stick

becomes good, then the next phase is to

bring in the Left Hand to try to control

the opponent more, and to apply disarms,

or off-sets, etc. BUT if I allowed a student

to use the Left Hand then they could start

cheating on the Stick improvements.
