I just picked up Remy's book Modern Arnis. I have decided I am going to try and start to teach myself. I have a few newbie questions I need answered.
First what things should I practice on first?
I figured I would work on the 12 zone striking drill.
Some of the two stick flow drills and trapping.
Any recomendations?
Now the important questions:
When striking with the right hand, the book says to step forward with the right foot before intiating the strike. It says this for all 12 striking zones. This doesn't seem to make sense. Plus from the pictures it seems like he is steping forward striking, shifting weight to rear foot on left backstroke, steping sideways on swing with right hand from left side of body. This right? Any able to clariffy the footwork?
Next one.
For a strike with the stick in the right hand how far am I wanting to draw it back?
And on.
On the transition from the body hit on the oppents right side to the solar plexus thrust am I trying to strike across and down to where my hand is at my hip? Or am I striking all the way through then rotating it down and forward when it reaches the high ready position on the right side of my body?
And that is the end of questions for now.
If you actually read all that thanks for the effort, If your going to respond, thankyou very much!
