- Some basic double stick drills from Filipino kali/escrima/silat and some empty-handed applications.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The term "Sinawali" refers to the activity of weaving, and is applied to the art of Philippine martial art Eskrima with reference to a set of two-person, two-weapon exercises.
Sinawali exercise provides Eskrima practitioners with basic skills and motions relevant to a mode of two-weapon blocking and response method called Doblete. Sinawali training is often introduced to novices in order to develop certain fundamental skills including: body positioning and distance relative to an opponent, rotation of the body and the proper turning radius, recognition of ones center of gravity, eye-hand coordination, target perception and recognition, increased ambidexterity, recognition and performance of rhythmic structures for upper body movement, and muscular developments important to the art, especially, the wrist and forearm regions.

ive been practicing escrima for sumthing like 2 years on and off and when i first started i used this video to learn heaven and earth thanks man
3 years hence.. and still your video is helping a lot of those who are interested in learning this art. many thanks!!
Hi Steve, these sinawali videos are very helpfull. We just started kombatan with my friend 2 weeks ago and these drills are just great. Thank you very much for posting! A bit of trivia, I also have 10 years of Goju-ryu behind and can honestly say that until just recently I haven't been able to really understand that art. Imho, it really takes a lot of work to make those techniques work properly.
Outstanding video. I'm reminiscing the good old days of elementary school in PHI.
Hey thanks for posting this.
I just learned six count last night and made some decent progress with it overnight, but I like the way you've demonstrated it. It makes it easier to visualize the steps as a continuous movement, instead of individual steps.
Thanks again. Very helpful.
Great videos. They sure help me remember some of the drills and patterns I learned when I was still taking up arnis in 2003, before I shifted to Shotokan. Drills like rompida, abaniko, banda y banda, ekis, ocho, sungkiti, single sinawali, double sinawali, rodonda, reverse rodonda, kadena, etc. Thanks for posting these videos!
Although the following comment could be applied to a number of martial arts systems, I am particularly thinking about the various Filipino fighting styles. My strong advice is this: Don't get all caught up in your particular style as being "the best," "the most realistic," "the oldest," "the deadliest," etc. I have worked with a number of FMA styles -- Inosanto/Lacosta, Doces Pares, Pikiti Tirsia, Serrada, Modern Arnis, Villabrille-Largusa, Sayoc, and several others. The proponents of each style will give you a number of reasons (which sometimes merely border on "rationalizations" more than anything else) as to why their particular style is the best. They are all very proud of their group, just as Dan Inosanto used to compare them to rival high school football teams. Just nod your head and agree with them and they'll be more inclined to teach you their particular method. Most of the FMA styles should be thought of family systems -- they have a particular training progression, they stress certain drills, they concentrate on certain ranges of combat. When you work within that system, be humble and learn everything you can (empty your cup, in other words, to use the Buddhist metaphor) and think of the style, system, or art -- depending on the term they use -- as a way to organize the material to be learned. That's all the style, system, or art really is -- it's a vehicle to organize the techniques, strategies, and drills that you as the individual martial artist can use for your personal physical and spiritual development.
Totally agree with your perspective. That's how every humble individual open to new perspectives should train. There are so many people claiming they hold the absolute truth out there, it's a negative learning attitude. However, focusing on one system for a long time can help individuals see progress and avoid confusion.
You're a great teacher! Thanks to both of you! : ) If this comment post several times, it's a youtube problem. Again, thank you!
Great stuff, Steve--thanks for this. I've been training boxing and muay thai for about ten years, and have just started getting into kali. I really appreciate you posting these great drills.
This is awesome! Thank you for teaching. You just helped me with nunchuck strikes. I'm applying your teachings to nunchuck strikes and movements
Thanks. I think you'll find that western boxing, Muay Thai, and FMA all go together nicely, especially when you investigate the connection between Filipino Panantukan and the development of boxing in America, circa 1898 as a result of contact between Filipino boxers and U.S. servicemen during the Spanish American War.
wow great videos i was looking for a sinawalis tecniques for begginers and your videos are what i was looking for thank u i see it every day
Awesome video, just started escrima and i need some home drills to practice :) havvent been able to find a proper video untill now. thank you!
I like the practice vs a bo.. interesting thought on 4 being a power strike - like that you shared the empty hands and tied this into the drill. I understand sinawali to be many drills and at one time it was - May still be a complete system ..FMA are deep arts !
Sinawalli is basically anything with two sticks. Regular six is what the pattern he is doing is called.
Great stuff, great video. Send more of these techniques out, finally got the heaven & earth motions.
Thank you. Been getting frustrated at practice by this helps break down all the by the numbers!
My first immersion into the martial arts was Goju-ryu, coincidentally. A 7th grade science teacher showed me two or three katas during phys ed class and then I started taking a class that following summer.
1:17 I love those moves, especially when my opponent is showing off with it. I just simply poke at one of his "swords" and gets off balance hitting himself or dropping his guard. We all laughed at this count-attack and went on practiceing...until a guy with a zweihander came into the fray...it was nasty :D
Great video, thank you for it.
As a pinoy, I must like this! :D
Nice vid. Just wanted to point out however, that the wattik and the abanico are different strikes. the wattik is a flicking motion that remains on the same side of the body where as the abanico is the fanning motion. Just a clarification . again pleasant watch.
You're a great teacher! Thanks to both of you! : )
The purpose of sinawali, although not practiced in Balintawak with double sticks, is to build coordination, body mechanics and to familiarise the student with basic striking patterns. It's not very unlike what Balintawak does in the empty hands hubod lubad/corridas/muestra transitions.
I believe it's simply a matter of teaching preference and it all serves the same goal in the end; to make the practitioner a versatile and adaptable fighter.
Fantastic video, gave me lots of ideas for my training. Thank you for posting.
@danbau08 -- It's from a combination of styles within the Filipino martial arts, but mainly from two primary sources: (1) Dan Inosanto's system and (2) Greg Alland's interpretation of pekiti tersia, but these movements are common to most double stick techniques in hundreds of Filipino systems.
Wow man , amazing video man.
just subscribed.
This was very helpful for me. Thanks!
What you do at 1:05 looks like a 3-beat weave from poi spinning.
@maxell89
I don't know. I study Shorin, but know quite a few Goju kata. It seems to me that the kali enlightens the goju. Try putting the sticks in your hands, doing the strikes Steve shows, and then doing Seiunchin. Goju movement, "Filipino" strikes and blocks. Tell me what you come up with.
Thank you very, very much. I learned a lot.
Ang galing mo bro,
Thanks exellent kali good expotition
Really broke the moves down thanks :)
Great basic workout! very nice
@renoboy666
Really, I study shorin, and the Filipino arts really open up the meaning of many of the blocks in Okinawan karate. Heaven 6 is just a "middle block" and a punch or a "low block" and a punch. It took me very little time to pick up the movement of the sticks, because it is the same movement as our empty hand. Seems to blend well with Okinawan karate. What are your thoughts?
Very. Nice thanks
@robgaunt -- Happy to help!
Thank you!
I'm glad. Thanks.
love the video bro
very nice thanks for sharing!!
rly good vid
Thank you!! Verry helpfull
@pieter4151 -- Good point. I don't carry sticks with me either.
Good teaching! :)
video great man!
Great video! I just subbed!
more pls!!!
Thanks, helpful..
@Kr4zi4ur0mg -- Thanks!
Oh yeah it will work on the streets, at the right time and moment, just be smart about it if someone pulls a gun out do what ever the person with a gun wants you to do, when you get a chance strike, it's also nice if you have a gun.
молодец мне очень понравилось VERY GOOD.
Noticed that the video is from 2008. How are you and your sons progressing with your training, sir?
Nice we call that a 6 count drill.
His sons went on to be undefeated at school
kyleaca which school and where is it?
Do stick can be replace with machete when doing sinawali
Absolutely, yes. You could use machetes, bolos, long knives, short knives, espada y daga, or any number of weapons -- the principles, and associated angles of attack and defense, -- are basically the same. You might have to make some adjustments depending on the length of the weapon, of course.
subbed!
good good
@spartanwarrior1 errr.....imagine this guy doing the same motions without sticks but with his palms or fists clenched...many laymen don`t see its true applications..
could it also be heaven,earth and hell?
If your opponent has a gun and you have sticks, a knife, or empty hands, then rush him. By the time he pulls out the gun, removes the safety and chambers a round, you would've hit him or stabbed him
can you teach me how...to arnis
Testing 123
i break my brain//./
not against what you're doing, i love FMA but why don't you just call it its real name - Sinawali. People go to other countries, learn from them, then they come home and change its name.
lol
Thank you!
