Sinawali
Sinawali is a group of traditional exercises in the Philippine martial arts aimed at developing specific coordination of movements, staging technique, strength and speed of strikes, and developing basic patterns of hand interaction.
Sinavals are at the heart of dual-weapon techniques and unarmed combat.
Performing the Sinavali technique requires simultaneous control of two sticks, and develops a sense of time , reaction, accuracy of the strike, coordination , endurance, and if you train properly, then speed and peripheral vision . The advantage of this exercise is that Sinawali is an excellent training method for improving the technique for both the right and left hand. Also, during training, the Sinawali is placed on the technique, strength and speed of impact with a stick.
The main ones are the following sequences of movements:
- Direct simple sinavali
- Reverse Simple Sinawali
- Direct Advanced Sinawali
- Reverse Advanced Sinawali
- Straight simple intersecting sinavali
- Double Intersecting One-Way Sinawala
- Double Intersecting Sinavals
- Double intersecting sinai over the head
- Double intersecting double-double sinalali
- Reverse Double Crossing Sinawali
Inputs
The battle at Doble Baston is fought mainly over a long distance. This is mainly due to the high density of the battle with light paired weapons, in which rapprochement with a high probability will lead to an uncontrolled exchange of series of attacks. It is easy to guess that in such a battle, most likely, a more powerful and hardy opponent will win. Consequently, in a battle using paired sticks, most of the blows are delivered on the hands and, at least, on the front foot of the enemy.
The most important section of the technique is the entrance to the enemy attack, allowing you to seize the initiative and avoid the exchange of blows.
Method 1 (Block Strike)
The block scheme of one stick with a second blow is perhaps one of the most simple and applicable in real combat. The scheme is implemented as a displacement from a strike with a counter strike of the weapon of the attacker by the nearest stick with a simultaneous counterattack of the second stick. The goals for counterattack are selected depending on the distance, as a rule, this is the head or the armed hand of the enemy.
Method 2 (Cross Block)
This is the second of the most applicable schemes. Unlike the previous one, here the performer repels (blocks) the attack not with the closest to the attacked sector, but with the distant hand. As a rule, the rebound is carried out by movement 1 or 3, the counterattack - by strike 1.
Method 3 (Block - Block Strike)
This method involves a combination of methods 1 and 2.
Method 4 (Block - translation-strike)
This technique, in fact, is a development of the previous one. After blocking (repulsing) the enemy’s blow, the performer uses a second stick to control the attacker's weapons and transfer them to another sector.
Naturally, these methods are not isolated techniques, but elements of a unified system of movements.
