This session was all about taking the established training phases, mainly kali, and adding to them.
Sinawalli double stix:
we drilled the normal counts and then added a new henka to 6 count - lo, hi, lo - which everyone found challenging.
We'll be looking to practice this new drill regularly. Once everyone gets it we'll add another variation.
Largo mano long range single stick:
We looked at variations on 3 counts so now there are 4 to practice.
Sombrada single stick:
We looked at specific variations on blocks to angles - mainly #1 and #2, and considered #3, #4 and #5.
We considered destruction - the first beat is used to smash the hand and followup.
We then looked at disarms - mainly the snake against #1.
We also disarmed #1 with strip, vine and quick snap and snaked against #2.
Hubud:
looked at double pak and pak/lop henka.
Empty hands sombrada:
Taking the Kali concept of sombrada we used Wing Chun traps to create a sombrada 5 count drill.
We also tapped mantis, the functional use of the spring drill with WC's quan sao.
We also used a kadena de mano knife concept with empty hand.
We then did 5 step drill:
krabi double stick
karate gohon kumite
Sparring:
WC chi sao
karate jiyu kumite
kickboxing standard
