The Angle 1 Problem - Disguising Strikes for Stick Fighting | Kali, Arnis, Escrima

"The Angle 1 Problem" is what I use to refer to the issue of how telegraphed our strikes become, especially that high forehand slash/ Angle 1, when we look to cover distance and engage with our opponent with speed and power.
The more power we try to generate the more we tend to telegraph. No matter how efficient our body mechanics might be, the strike is still telegraphed.
One way to solve the Angle 1 Problem is to learn to disguise our strikes.

Great video. I am new to kali (2 months or so) and I've only gone through 4 or 5 one-staff sparring sessions (so 25 x 5minute episodes roughly) - each of our three instructors was constantly in motion with the stick even beyond reach distance, similarly to shadowing with knife; on the other hand I am static with my upper body and only move when I intend to strike or fake an attack or defend. I understand that any motion I make becomes much more telegraphed because it comes out of the blue, so it's easier to detect at the time it is coming than if it is a follow-up to a sinawali pattern, for example. However, I am wondering if also the patters of your shadowing don't make it so that it is easier to predict what you will do because of the natural flow you must follow (for example if it's a heavier weapon like a sword binding you to certain progression by its weight). You have mentioned that the shadowing also actively protects your space from any potential incoming attacks, and it absolutely has some intimidating effect, but another apparent disadvantage I've been shown is targeting the extended hands rather than the body whilst maintaining distance out of reach. Is there any style that is more static, or is it just better overall to be dynamic with some shadowing? How should I go about developing it from pretty much ground zero? Thank you.

[@lighthavenindia]

Great question. There are absolutely static styles that are based on baiting and luring your opponent.
The only issue is you have to have a pretty good sense of range and timing to make this work and it's mostly used as a counter attacking style. Mostly but not always.
Give me some time to try and make a video on this for you.

[@thunderwolfcz9499]

Thank you for your answers, all you do is much appreciated. You are clearly to me the best source of online information, so I am slowly working my way through the backcatalogue of your videos to catch up.

Good stuff and very timely. I am fighting on Thursday and will practice the angle 3 to angle 2 strike. More importantly, what is the dog's name?

[@lighthavenindia]

Her name is Luna and she is the true head of the school.
Also best of luck in your fights!!!
