The Largo weapon or 'Bugsay' is broken down into 3 ranges Corto, Medio, and Largo (Short, Medium, and Long). When applying within the flow, practitioners executes various possible strikes all the while the martial artists is constantly aware of the range and is able to move in and out of these range naturally, consciously, and strategically (closing the gap, stealing the range, staying clear). Maestro Sonny Umpad's Visayan style Corto Kadena footwork blends in 'Moro' movements and makes Umpad's footwork and pendulum not only practical but also integrates practitioners of different styles and systems to flow with one another to share, play, and even spar.
One of the many dreams of Umpad is uniting the arts for all to share.

IN this video, friends and students of Umpad demonstrates the 'personality' of the Largo, its ranges, and flow.
