Escrima Training - solo heavy bag

With this particular martial art, one learns to strike and parry while using a particular arm movement matrix that allows a hand to be available for a deflection or strike at every quarter to half beat of movement. The follow up hand often moves under neath the active hand/arm and travels a similar path behind it. The follow up hand is not powerful but with a knife or multiple blows with a blunt object, it can be effective. It is particularly useful for knife defense training. Which is still mostly a losing battle, especially if you have no knife yourself.
Because of the camera height you can see that the legs are moving which creates decent weight through the quick strikes.

@fewag I don't know if I translated this correctly, but you are urging the use of a tire instead of a sandbag? Or perhaps you are saying that you do both. I have no problem with the use of either training tool. The tire has a distinct bounce-back which I cannot say imitates the human body much, although it creates alternative rhythms that are fun.

I get many views from Germany, awesome!

Speaking of "Sticks",We were doing some weapons sparring in my shaolin training today, And this guy got caught right in the orbital with a short stick....lets just say he need stitches. Yeah, everlast is cheap......but it works
