I'm certain Sonny would have been very proud of you -M. Really beautiful on the rolls and evasions. Respectfully, SA

I'm just wondering is this a basic workout that any Eskrima practitioner can do, or is this specialized for this system only?

excelent work ! good job ... can you tell me what is the music please ?

In a way yes. Sonny's focus was always the blade. Understanding the character and movement of the weapon you are holding is critical. If you can understand and apply that concept, then this drill will work for you. There are a wide range of subtleties that must be felt in order to get the full use of the drills as we practice them. I suggest experimenting. Ultimately that was how Sonny developed his system. Using what worked and testing it over and over.

I really get what Maestro Umpad's dancing did for his eskrima. I have done Salsa for quite a few years as well as my MA and the relationship with another body is so developed in dancing that I would highly reccomend it to all martial artists.
