The favored choice for weaponry has become KaliSilat, due to the simplicity and quick development of the practice and it forces the practicioner to develop their own method. This is generally because the basic foundation in each and every martial art is it's similar foundation. That is; footwork, body mechanics (using the power of the body during striking) and a repetitive foundation of striking, in Kali Silat we call it Sinawali.
The favored striking techniques are those drills in KaliSilat's single, double and combination weaponry employed in the basic practice of all Kali Silat. Stay until you develop your own method, because no one else does it the same way. We call it U DO.
So when you study mixed martial arts make certain the teachers are different because, as in all martial arts, the general practice of seriousl martial artists is to have a foundation and develop from that foundation, while studing other methods, one creates his/her own way. And Since, as in all martial arts: You wish to out balance me, take or throw me to the ground, and kill me if necessary.
That is the basics of the way in Kali Silat. It has become the basic weapon of choice in mixed martial art schools today because it's basic. All those special weapons we find, well they need special techniques to utilize them. Ever try to hit some one with a nunchuck, and wound us hitting youself, or your elbow?
So, enjoy the practice, share and you both shall grow, now matter how you develop, it's your goal to lead, not to follow. regards Greg
