Precision Sparr.

[lionleo]

here are two very short clips of the precision sparring we had in the past training days....we decided to do precision sparring to hone the targetting skills of these practitioners, and the lack of NARAPHIL/WEKAF armor .

Question...

In both videos why do you stop each time after one hit?

[lionleo]

good question Samurai..

these guys are new to escrima, i wanted them to spar with precision hits, hitting what they want to hit and not just banging the sticks..we made it a rule that solid hits are favorable, since i an actuall skirmish this is the one that will really maim (if they use a stick) and the the petik ones (good for blades).Plus the inavailability of a NARAPHIL spar gear.I favor the Naraphil way than the others..just my own bias. I hope i answered your querry.

Our group calls this "one-hit" sparring. The idea being that you work more on defense and avoiding double kills. It is great for training defensive reactions.
