Yes, for me using the knife is about starting with a comfortable range--it's not about knife-fighting. For me it's more about how the live hand is controlling and how the body is moving.

So, like the stick in conceptual arts, the knife starts out or stays a training tool first to develop technical skill? That is how I view it for the most part. Same with disarms: they start out as artistic curriculum requirements and later help to teach the gross and fine motor skills to improve or instruct joint locks.arnisador said:Yes, for me using the knife is about starting with a comfortable range--it's not about knife-fighting.

Rich Parsons said:I explain that this is most definitely a drill and not knife fighting in any manner.
I will even show the student that it is easy to counter, by a more skilled opponent. I just start with the knife to get the basic cutting motion. Then I move back to the stick, and train that for a long time before moving to the knife for aything serious.
Good Points though.

I just learned flow drill last week (yes, I'm that new to Modern Arnis). I was wondering why strikes #5 and #12 were removed from the drill., and whether they are reintroduced at a later date. Also, am I correct in saying that the flow drill is essentially the attacker coming at the defender with a #1, #2, #3 and #4 strikes (and sometimes #5 and #12) and the defender is basiclly just countering with banda y banda? Even when countering a #12 with an umbrella, can't an umbrella be thought of as a banda y banda at a different angle?
Just Wondering,
Jon
