Modern Arnis application from Stick Form 1

JRRMAS Staff member PR leads a recent class in an application exercise based on the first Stick Form (Anyo).

Lesson 1:

In order to lead the mind properly during solo practice...

it's imperative that the practitioner is able to visualize the application of the movement

Practicing the applications of the forms with a partner is the 'secret'

to higher level solo practice...

Visualizating the applications will give the practitioner the correct 'feeling' of the solo gesture

Lesson 2:

"The mind directs, the body follows"
