Hi, it's been 5 months since my last videos asking for advice. I have been practicing and I just record two new videos. I am disappointed in what I see in the video, I need advice what to concentrate on.
I have been practicing on fighting in more confined space. Learning from Lamont Glass on casting and watched video on some footwork. I still feel my movement is too slow. Before, I swing the full arc like what are showing in a lot of escrima instruction video from one shoulder swinging a full arc and stop at the opposite shoulder. That takes a lot of space. In demonstration or competition where you have a whole big space with nothing in the way, it's not a problem. But in self defense situation when it can be in the restaurant with people, table and chairs in the way, you really cannot swing a big arc. So I practice casting where I don't swing wide and STOP right pass the hitting point. BUT, it's much harder to generate speed.
The first video is just like the former ones:
The second video is swinging in confined space. I did it in the entry way of the house, using the door posts as target, so it's like 6 targets in a small confined space. Took me a while to get the control not to hit anything:
Please advice how to improve and what I should work on.
Thanks
