I think I've gotten an answer to this question before but always forget what it's referring to.
Kawayan - I can imagine this to be the twisting and evading type of flavor like when parrying thrusts.
Likay - This to be like a 'boxing' type of flavor. Bobbing, weaving, slipping...
Sikit - What is meant by this? It is always defined as 'breaking' and such and to be the flavor of T Maranga.
What is meant by 'breaking'? Also, as always mentioned, the emphasis is on 'the left hand being close to the other's shoulder'? Is this just talking about the 'pushing', or something?
