At STMA we blend Kali with Wing Chun to work from weapons to empty hand and back out to weapons.
Kali starts with sticks:
double sticks sinawalli
largo mano
sumbrada
hubud
hubud is then the foundation drill for knife
knife works largo and sombrada drills
there are also many drills unique and specific to knife
kadena de mano also has knife defence - empty and against knife
hubud empty hand is the foundation for
panantukan - boxing
and is the base for all CRA Close Range Arts
Wing Chun starts with empty hands:
entry with kicks and jabs
jik chun choy blast
HIA trapping
chi sao
Wing Chun has 3 forms:
sil lum tao
chum kil
bil jee
the mok jong dummy form
and 2 weapons forms:
bart charm dao swords
kwane pole
once sil lum tao, chum kil, mok jong and bil jee and learnt in application, freestyle chi sao sparring is possible
hubud and chi sao meet for complete development of close range fighting in the trapping phase.
we also employ energy drills from other arts such as Mantis to fill in any gaps
the student who now learns Wing Chun Dao can come back out to weapons range with a even more diverse repertoire.
