Pekiti-Tirsia Solo Baston 64 Attacks PT2

Techniques 1 through 22 of the 64 Attacks. 1 to 12 is the first set of the Abcedario. 13 to 22 is the Four Wall drill. Tuhon Gaje would have students in the 1970's in NYC train in 64 Attacks for the first year or two before moving on to advanced techniques. I remember spending 6 months just on the intricacies of a drill called Break in-Break out (working so long per session that my hand would not open afterward. I had to slide the stick out of it and pry my fingers open). Tom Bisio won the first national Arnis tournament in the Philippines with just 64 Attacks. For more information visit the pekiti website.

I'm a PTK fan and all but I can't seem to understand why some have to wear pants with military decals.

[TuhonBillMcg]

@breinz Maybe you mean patches rather than decals. Some of the students are current or former military or law enforcement and some of the instructors teach members of these groups, so perhaps they received a unit patch as a gift. The pants I'm wearing in this video are hunting pants based on military BDUs (the camo pattern is called ASAT). They are light weight, have plenty of pockets and have room to move. Just what I want in work out pants.

@breinz I do the same but it's because I'm an obsessive shoplifter (I'm joking BTW). Saying that any of Tuhon Bill's videos are good is like saying the sun is a bright thing in the sky.

@TuhonBillMcg Now I get it. I prefer wearing loose pants myself with lots of pockets because it doesn't restrict any movements, can't find anything that is lightweight tho. BTW, have those extra pockets gotten in the way of any of your drills yet?
