Sinawali - the Easiest Way to Learn this Vital Double Stick Drill 

From your tutorial I learnt the very basic steps of the sinawali and you are the sole reason I started practicing it. Respect to you sir......

I went from watching a Romanian choir singing a Filipino folk song then went saw a suggestion of foreigners doing the tinkling dance and then I saw this. Great explanation, definitely a good suggestion.

You're such a talented man! I never realized how many styles of martial arts you know. That is real dedication!

my name is arjun murmu and i am from india i love your sinawali defence style . Had been a desire to learn defence technics since childhood . But there was no learning environment . I have to learn sinawali style

What a easy but effective way to start learning the kali! Thanks!

Amazing! Your technique of starting at the end really worked for me.. I am left handed, and within 10 minutes I was getting a smooth rhythm.. Within 30 minutes, becoming quicker and more fluid... Thanks, I'm really getting into this sinawali..

Great straight to the point tips.

YES! The 3rd motion (forehand that RETRACTS) is the KEY to make everything flow onto the 4th, 5th & 6th motions. Of course it is also key on the 6th motion to keep on going. May I suggest that the 1st motion would ideally block your attacker's incoming weapon. The 2nd motion would then break the wrist or forearm that your attacker is using to hold his/her weapon. The 3rd motion would then either target your attacker's head or neck or other arm. RETRACTING would then place you in the position to defend against your attacker from the opposite direction, in case he/she wishes to continue getting hurt. Maraming Salamat po! Thank you very much sir!

After just a little bit of training with this video I could do this drill with speed and power! Great teacher!

Really like this guy as a tutor

great teaching method

Great instructive video.

What is perhaps most important about sinawali drills is that it's training neuropathways in both sides of the brain. Very good for combating dementia and helping keep the brain flexible.

This is exactly what I needed

EXCELLENT breakdown!

Amazing video sifu, thank you very much! By far the quickest way I have ever seen to learn Sinawali. One consideration that was a bit confusing. Initially said was forehand, backhand, forehand (that snaps back under to backhand chambered position.) But then you said forehand follow-thru, backhand follow-thru, snap-backhand. Semantics but initially it was confusing because the last motion seems to be upper forehand with the snap back to the backhand position as the other arm just articulates a small amount and retracts to the upper forehand chambered position. Regardless it makes it so easy to get started on flowing to all different variations without really having to mess up the flow with breaking up the motions.

Thank you for the video. Actually started learning this yesterday. You articulate it well. Have a blessed day.

Thank you so much Sifu. This also works with other weapons as well such as swords, hook swords, nunchakus, ect.

I learned this during a school group demonstration in high school it was a class performance. And until now I haven't forgot the hand movements it's like it's already engraved on your head once you learned and got used to the hand movements.

Excellent.

Great explanation of its importance

Man, you are really good teacher, like in school class room.... perfect

Very well explained, keep up the great teaching 😊👍

Hello MR this will be a great help for me thanks a lot again

The one suggestion is not to just go through the motions but you have to whip the sticks on every strikes instead of just swinging them. In other words, swing with intend to cause damage.

Good job explaining thankyou brother.

the first time i tried that, i always hit my head and face 😅

Very.good lesson. I like the 3 step approach.

Great demonstration with the sinawali! More people should really give Filipino martial arts a look the drills really changes your life especially kali flow

Great teaching

I teach FMA and BJJ at my Academy in San Diego also. P5 Academy.

Good demonstration. Thanks. Subscribed.

Awesome..even after 40 years you taught me

Thank you for those very important first steps, when push comes to shove it all comes back to basics

Truly Thank you so much sir. God Bless you

You're awesome and your videos. Thank you.

He is grappling's one punch man

Siniwali is done both single and double stick,. not only, as implied here, with double sticks.

When you first see this fighting style, it looks like it is very difficult to defend against. But, no it is easy to defend against. You basically have three strikes from the same direction in a row. Then it changes to three strikes from the other direction. Say you strike my left side three times first. Then strike my right side three times next. I will circle around your blind side where you launch your first strike. I will keep my pressure on just that side. I also use two sticks. I don't strike one stick at a time. I use two sticks simultaneously, one for blocking/diverting and the other one for striking. I don't have much arm movements. I use my wrists, some sideward movements and my footwork, instead. That's why I will always be faster. I use some Wing Chun Baa Jaam Do techniques that most Wing Chun practitioners don't know how to use. BTW, your footwork is always much more important than your hand work when it comes to fighting. Do you play badminton? Have you seen people playing badminton?

Great Video... thanks a lot

Good Teaching !!

Really like good job and thank you

I just broke the chandelier. Glass is everywhere. I'm fucked when my mom sees this shit.

Thanks man that really helped my one sided brain out 👏👊

Superb

There are tons of tutos for Heaven-6 but none of them actually talk about hips and legs position, unfortunately..

Better explanation since I have hard time with the process.

I love i love jits but there so much otger cool stuff

Pretty good video. As you can see by my profile picture, Filipino martial arts is what I teach as well. My martial arts instructor is Kelly s Worden.

Sounds like a ticking clock when you do it that way....

How practical is this for real fighting?

💯👌👍👍

And?

Balaball

Pugay 👊

Most modern martial arts instructors right now claim to be so Diversified... " I teach mixed martial arts... I've studied Krav Maga, Philippine Martial Arts, Taekwondo, this martial art, that martial art..." All the while they have limited knowledge of The Limited Arts that they study... This particular video explains nothing about a sinawali is or what it means or what emotions are... There is far more to the sinawali then this parochial video even remotely leads into... I'm sure this particular instructor is a phenomenal martial artist and practitioner... I personally have specialized in the Philippine martial arts for the last 27 years... I'm not going to begin to critique this video other than to say that it is parochial at best

dangg its not as easy as it looks

★★★★★★★

Gee man, I thought u didn’t like forms

Sounds like Mr. Bean....haha....joke only. :)

Does this work for real? Seems kinda Kung Fu. Or is this just exercise?

Why learn this?

Get rid of Joe Biden by by

Firsssttttt!

it is more convincing if this is done by a filipino

You dont teach to strike through or its not shown. Do better

better for this guy to stick to the white men clint eastwood and marlon brando punch😂 we need not to know what you have learned in our country

Aren't those guys from bjj?

Damn how many martial arts do you know? Up until recently I thought you were just a jujitsu guy. :)

I am utterly shocked.. Stunned.. Whatever other words I could use. I ignorantly thought you were a BJJ guy that made fun of every other art that wasn't BJJ.

Our ancestors invented this but almost all of us got little to no knowledge about this martial art...

"..like some kinda crazy double baton conductor." lol

Yeah, one of your sticks definitely has Peyronie’s Disease it looks like.

More self-defense videos please. These videos are a great addition to Jiu Jitsu for self-defense.

He looks like the bratva dude from the green arrow

This reminds me of arrow

1:45 You make it look so easy

Clear teaching

Every journey begins with one step.Good video for beginners. Done everything?Self praise is no recommendation my mother told me.

ya parece que voy andar yo por la calle con dos pinches palos...🙄🙄🧐🧐🙈🙈🤪🤪🤪🤪

one of the better tutorials on you tube

If i would have watched this vid before it would have saved me a good hour trying to figure out that backhand.

lol.

Minus the fancy stuff, Kali/Arnis is one of those practical Martial arts which you can use in the street. You never know when you're gonna get a stick or a knife for a weapon.

The more I watch this the more it makes sense. Now to actually practice. If this works this gentleman will have taught me Sinawali. Who knows what direction this will lead.

amazing technique -- thank you for breaking it down like this

Why do foreigners keep changing the name of Escrima, Arnis or Kali to Sinawali, They just learn a new Martial Arts Self Defense then change it their own like they invented the forms of the Filipino Martial Arts..

Thankyou Master 🤗

So dope. Salamat po.
