Free flow training and having fun

This is Eric and myself goofing around, working on our disarm positions using the free flow drills of sumbrada and Tapi-Tapi. The stick twirling patterns I do in the beginning come from various lineages. I have just blended them together for my own personal flow. See if you can find the patterns while watching Eric and myself flowing and talking. To me this is what training is all about. Having a good time and getting some good reps in.
The drills are done slowly at first so students can reference the patterns and then begin to see the positioning of the disarms. Keep in mind this is not how you would fight, they're just drills to work on certain skill sets. Nothing was planned, just like life, we go with the flow. Hope you enjoy it.

There's some really nice flow going on there. One of the better and more enjoyable sumbrada videos on the tube. Thank you for sharing.

Which systems of FMA do you guys train?

[CounterforCounter]

The main system I have studied is Modern Arnis. I have also had many informal lessons in the Inosanto Blend. Other than that a smattering of lessons from various other lineages that I won't really claim due to the fact that people get upset when you do things like that. All in all, I have found that the various lineages have a lot more in common than they like to think, which is a good thing.

Good luck on your journey and thanks for watching.

I'm just a few hours away. Most of my training is from Datu Kelly Worden. But I got so tied up with Modern Arnis technical stuff and am now, once again, brushing up on my empty hand Hubad play. You video helped me to get back up to speed and teach it to my little group and you have taken it a bit farther than I did in the past. What's your school address and phone? I'd like to stop by for a little bit some day. (I like the pain)!

Man! I am really impessed with how fast your training partner can change from a black shirt to a yellow shirt and then back again! Is he a tapi-tapi Master? ;).
