Modern Arnis basics 19: trapping hands intro

Trapping hands is a core drill in Modern Arnis. This video is a basic intro to trapping hands to get you started in the flow and then begin to modify targets, change roles, insert techniques, and add pressure to challenge the drill. Many styles have versions of this drill, also known as kadena de mano, or de kadena. Changes can either keep or break the flow, and trapping hands can be a great vehicle to branch off from during that flow.

Let us know in the comments if you would like to see a followup with combination attacks, other inserts, advanced options, etc in another Modern Arnis Basics video at some point or perhaps just some additional inserts or changeups in a future JOT.
