Lock and Block or How to Disarm (Serrada, Picking)(Master Ron Saturno)

I disarm by trying to knock the persons hand off. I feel it is safer then wrestling a live blade. To all of the better Escrimador's who can safely do this I give you my deep and lasting respect. Train hard and live. Ron Saturno

Khalid! Whatever you say! At best Serrada is very personal. Everybody should interpret for themselves. Good to hear from you. Ron

Judonoh, Talk to Michael Butz in your AZ area. I like you guys. Get a few guys together. I will bend double for people I like. I would be happy to go your way for a weekend. I will be at the Hilton, Stockton,Ca. and the next day tournament, the weekend of 20/something FEB teaching along with many other Serrada Masters, as well as other Masters. We (Serrada Masters) have hardly got along, and are now coming together after 20 years. Thanx my friend. Ron

Thanx, for the thanx. These drills are not classical Serrada picking drills. Picking in concert with lock n block was held in extremely high regard by Manong Angel Cabales. I will not show these drills on youtube. They would not be understood and take time to develop, only a very sound Escrimador could safely pick in the heat of battle. This student was merely being introduced to picking and larning how to read a set-up before the strike. Master Ron Saturno

...had an intersting conversation about picking. Basically picking is to entice your opponent to commit, and then get hit. It is rat bait. Wave the bait, get them to commit. If they do not take the bait, you are doing complex movements, when they are just hitting. Your trap catches you. You become the rat. Wish we could all just get along...This video is a basic drill. Done correctly, it is poetry.Anyone got rat? Master Ron Saturno

If we watch the hands...wecould find ourselves in real trouble. Peripheral vision is much affected at combat range It is safer to learn to watch the movements of the shoulders. Footwork can even be monitored. Centering on the chest is a good beginning. because of tunnel vision (An effect of adrenalin). it was drilled into us by Angel. Ron

I hope my statements do not offend anyone. I once thought I was the shit when it came to disarms. I think they have their place in the art. When I was younger and dumber I played with live blades. I once tried to disarm a blade, the person pulled and thru either luck or I would like to believe skill (yah, right): I kept my hand from being cut off. I think I pissed my pants My disarms are now trying to knock the persons hand off. No hand/no problem. And this is how I disarm. Master Ron Saturno

When the stick vanishes as in the attacker doing picking suddenly, it is impossible to follow the opponent's stick, so step back and do sweeps strike 11 to 2, and strike 9 to 1, and horizontal sweeps strike 3 to 4, etc. to clear the space in front of you. You can also go LINEAR in your response and aim for the opponent's forearm or wrist as he is doing the picking. Just my opinion, Khalid Khan.
