03:02 Why Train This?
03:59 Basic Drills (take 2)
04:58 Conclusion

Drills:
Tres Teros - long range
Dulog Sumbrada - middle range
Punyo Sumbrada - middle to close range
Punyo Hubad - close range

I want to emphasize that these drills are range specific...as you change the range, the drill changes.

The real skill development occurs when you play outside the patterns. The Truth is Outside the Pattern!!! Just keep it counter for counter and flow.

This is not fighting! It’s a training method.
….It’s simply counter for counter…
….It enhances your skill, It shortens your response time, It makes you find an answer in the moment...no matter if your weapon is out of position, you have to find an answer!

*It’s a great practice of being deeply in the NOW ...in the moment...

**It’s also a training method you can take into old age...

***I want to close this video with giving gratitude to Guro Dan Inosanto for showing me where the sumbrada training method can go...and also, for inspiring me to push my limits...
