Last weekend

Interesting!

I don't see the term "palakaw" used that often. We used it in DP to describe a similar drill (though solo baston / single stick in our school). How are you using the term, out of curiosity?

EDIT: We also sometimes used the term to describe a form of footwork. Just to make things more confusing.
 
Palakaw is a term which is also used in Balintawak. It is said that Anciong Bacon also practiced Baraw Sugbo with Gregorio Ceniza.


In Baraw Sugbo there are 4 levels. One of them is level 2 Palakaw, and it means you are combining 2 angles and play around with those.
So for example angle 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6 etc. Or even combo's of 3 like angle 1, 2, 1.

After that you get Kuridas which is randomizing those angles, so the you get for example 1 and 4, or 9 and 2. Or also 3 random angles like for example 9, 10, 1.

All those stages are very progressive and will teach you how to adjust and train your sensitivity, because in Baraw Sugbo you respond to pressure of you opponent.
