Pekiti -Tirsia Kali N Footwork



I have decided a long time ago that stick training in our group should only be with hockey gloves and helmets, using real sticks I prefer using the very heavy Black Mango wood or composite sticks, the JuWe Bolo, Tomahawks, Pinute sword to warm up with various footwork patterns. I prefer that everyone hits the target intended at full speed and intent with padded sticks and protective gear, instead very light rattan sticks and imagining the intended targets and hit the stick or air instead. The reasoning behind this is, the you fight as you train buzzword, better to have practiced 10 times hitting a hand in opposition, than hitting a stick and imagining hitting a hand 100 times with no opposition.
