Modern Arnis - Redonda - Forward and Reverse

JRRMAS Staff member PH practices Redonda with Brown Belt student AG.

Lesson 1:

Redonda.....

one circle on the same side

two circle's on the opposite side

The first strike crosses over when going forward

and under when doing the reverse

train both sides simultaneously

Keep the beats even

especially in between side changes

and feel the one, two, three...it's a triplet.....without accents....

add in Rompida and Abinico

Now add stance work...forward, backward and to the sides

It's all there....study the nature of circles, timing and momentum

Truly marvelous practice!
