Sinawali Masterclass with Tuhon Apolo Ladra | It’s More Than Just Stick Work

In this session, Tuhon Apolo Ladra dives deep into Sinawali—one of the most iconic drills in Filipino Martial Arts. You’ve probably seen the double stick patterns before, but this goes way beyond flashy flow drills.

Sinawali comes from the word "sawali"—woven bamboo mats from traditional Filipino homes. Just like those mats, these movements are all about weaving, rhythm, and flow. But don’t get it twisted—this isn’t just for show.

Tuhon breaks down how Sinawali originates from the blade and shows how it translates directly into empty hand combat, bladed weapons, and even improvised tools. It’s a system that builds coordination, timing, and real combat application.
