Just uploaded a new training video to the community. This one links 3 key drills together into a flowing line/walking drill: Downward X-strikes Upward X-strikes High Low High strikes We’re not staying static… this is done moving across the hall using footwork forwards and backwards. The goal is to build coordination, rhythm, and the ability to strike while travelling — not just from a fixed stance. Start slow. Focus on structure and timing. Then let it flow. Give it a watch, try it out, and let me know: ➡️ Which section feels smooth? ➡️ Which bit needs more reps? Consistency builds flow. Let’s get to work. https://youtu.be/wShKF1EbPdM?si=lkySby8Am6O_xtoO

Mobility is one of those things that’s easy to skip… until your body reminds you why it matters. I’ve just uploaded a gentle Eskrima stick mobility warm-up to YouTube and wanted to share it here with you all 👇 https://youtu.be/dM_WfFfcwsU This session starts with wrist mobility and then moves into the arms and shoulders. It’s designed as a pre-warm-up to help: Lubricate the joints Improve range of motion Reduce stiffness Keep you training longer and feeling better 💡 This also ties in nicely with a question Mr Mitchell asked about developing your weaker side. When one side feels awkward or uncoordinated, it’s often not just a “skill” issue — it’s a mobility and awareness issue too. Slower, controlled movements like these give your nervous system time to catch up, especially on your non-dominant side. If you’re working on your weaker side, try: Spending a little more time on it during mobility work Moving slower, not harder Focusing on smooth, clean ranges rather than speed or power Use this video as: A warm-up before training A recovery session Or a focused way to give your weaker side some extra attention Let me know how it feels, especially on your non-dominant side 👍

Question in regards to the wrist roll warm up I find it extremely difficult to perform with my non-dominant hand are there progressions to build up this skill?

Hopefully we have sorted out the teething problems and we can get these live classes running more frequently. This session we are working a single stick and footwork. We start with the simplest stick strikes the downwards X. Then we worked the forwards shuffle - Backwards shuffle- left and right shuffle. We then played with the lateral triangle footwork and finished with the female triangle footwork. Have fun and have a play.

Well… first live class in the bag. Unfortunately I thought I was filming in portrait instead of landscape, so there’s a good chance you won’t see my feet at times — which is not ideal considering there’s a lot of footwork involved 😅 That said, the first live class always comes with a learning curve. Tech, angles, flow — it’s all part of it. I’m still happy I got the first one done and out of the way. I’ll drop the video replay below 👇 Take what you can from it, and I’ll make sure future lives are cleaner, clearer, and properly framed. I’m planning on doing regular live solo classes going forward, so this is just the start. Onwards 👊
