RE: The Stick, the Blade, and the Empty Hands: An Introduction to Filipino Martial Arts

Thanks! Kito-Mutai sounds fascinating, but it's not part of my school.

Personally I found complex drills useful only so far as it trains someone to pay attention during a drill and to transition smoothly and naturally from one chamber or technique to another. While not unimportant, if we're training specifically for self-defence I think establishing a solid arsenal of high-percentage moves and tactics to take advantage of techniques and personal body mechanics would take top priority.

Martial arts isn't too popular on Steemit, but if an FMA-related topic crosses my mind again I'll be sure to write about it.

Sort:  

Martial arts are popular. It's now all of us connecting and growing this part. Welcome to being first.

And for all arts? Just don't train with ego. I've now been doing fma for half my life. I was introduced to the art by a random guy as a kid. Been hooked ever since. I met grand tuhon Leo gaje and great guy. I'm not apart of ptk because of the egos of the American students.

But yeah love it!
@aresheir is a great guy to train with.
