Hello again.
I just thought I'd post this little ditty.
This is a drill we've been playing with for a good few years now and thought as it’s an invaluable tool to any art that you all should take a look.
Its essentially the Filipino Higut Hubud drill which although comes from a FMA background is one of the best sensitively drills I've come across and coming from a strong FMA background I still teach it in our class.
That said, we have similar movements in Pencak Silat there just applied a little differently.
From this drill as you can see, one can put a simple kick for kick drill into the Pananjakman Jab Cross drill bridging from this into the Higut proper.
In this range we can "Bolt on" any of our own sensitivity drills from Silat or Kungfu ie (Chi-sau) hands and leg! and if one wanted to close down further into "Pushing Hands" from Taiji-Quan (Tai Chi Chuan).
In this way we can train with a little more contact and realism, especially if we pad up and actually work these brilliant drills with a little bit of force.
This way we get the realism of striking and being struck with force and speed from a moving target into the sensitively of these "trapping drills" and into grappling and footwork, covering all ranges of combat from kicking to the floor in one drill!
Like the title it becomes One drill to rule them all, training one drill which is really training four or five great drills at same time, but with an element of realim and "Pressure"
Unshown in the clip we could add in the Thai clinching drill after Higut and from the clinch go to the floor and even from floor to standing again!
The drill's origins are not anywhere near as important as the attributes one gains from it and in working 30 mins of this drill you save time working a dozen separate drills.
So enjoy the clip and will post another showing the Thai angles throws and groundwork from this drill next time.
Play hard Train safe =)
