Serrada Eskrima: Khalid Khan: FAST Lock & Block-Antonio

Serrada's First technical training drill
method, after having learned the Fundamental Counter system as given by
GM Angel Cabales, is to apply the counters in Live action against a person feeding the strike angles. At first the feeding of the strikes is
in a plain basic method, then it changes to become deceptive and fast,
with more power, as well as with mid-point changes in the strike. This
drill prepares the student to stay his
ground and to respond to an attack at
close range with precision of the
Serrada counter. The switching of the feet on the floor on a Triangle is
the key to this drill, as is the position of the Right Foot of the defender (the person being fed the strikes). Excerpt from a Serrada technical DVD.

The Lock & Block shown here is really

very fast for the amount of moves Antonio

is doing, within humanly possible.

He is NOT SKIPPING any move, and yet still arriving at the TARGET. Most

"fast" lock & blockers actually just move

IN THE AIR, and dont actually 'arrive' at

any target at all. Stick must arrive at a

target and still must be as fast as you can

be.

@guroeskrima Well said! You bring up points that are either ignored or neglected. :-)

Khalid...these other comments are correct. That is not fast lock and block. There are other demos here of serrada by Guro Carlito Bonjoc that show fast lock and block that are very accurate and effective.

Not fast, but who cares... Energy is at the end of the stick not middle. Utilize the stick.. Not bad for basics..

Why all the hate?

I can go faster and make all the contact I want to the target. In a real fight all you might be able to do is deflect the stick and hit the target when you get the chance.

Thats not fast.
