Knife Fighting Basics with the HUBUD KNIFE DRILLS of Filipino Martial Arts

[Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] with the knife let's go over some of the basic angles of strikes or attacks within this Hoopa drill I love the Hoopa drill because it's a great flow drill that we can cycle a lot of repetitions in a very short amount of time so grab your training knife grab your training partner and let's do it you might have seen the huba drill here at the college Center YouTube channel before where we worked it in the empty hands and we have that angle one where Tom's gonna come in and he's going to get that cut I'm going to stop it then I'm going to raise it or pass it and then I'm gonna trap it then I'm gonna do the same thing I'm going to attack that angle one back Tom stops it with his left form he's gonna raise it and pass it over and then he can trap it you can trap Palm up over the elbow or Palm down on the forearm either one play with both variations but let's go ahead and flow out this angle one get a couple reps in and then we'll get to the next angle make sure that you watch this video all the way through so you get all three of the basic angles that we're going to be showing you in this video so let's rep this out remember it's three beats stop it raise and pass it trap it and then attack and on the attack he stops it he raised to pass it and traps so just remember that okay stop raise trap stop raise trap or stop past trap and get it flowing let's take a look at how we utilize the angle 2 in the hubot flow with the knife so what I like to do when I'm teaching this is we start off with the angle one get a little bit of rhythm going here so that way we could teach the transition at the same time so as soon as I trap this down instead of going to my angle one I'm going to fire my angle two Tom's gonna stop it with his left hand or forearm and then the same pattern repeats he's going to raise it to keep it on the outside trap the elbow and then he's going to strike his angle too I'm going to stop it raise it and trap it angle two he stops he raises and he traps so let's flow out the angle two for a third strike and angle let's work on that angle five or what we call the center line thrust so this one's really cool because it's only a two count so as Tom thrust angle five I'm going to use my forearm to tap and Parry it to the side and then my left hand comes underneath and I'm going to grab the elbow and I'm going to keep it up now in reality I want this to be up and then I'm going to thrust underneath but we're going to keep the drill going so as soon as I do this then I let Tom do the same thing he's going to tap and Parry it with his form of the right hand and then he's going to trap That Elbow up all right so let's work this out Perry and trap tap parry and trap and then we work this out now you can have your left foot forward on this just like right now you can step through with your right foot forward you can change the energy on all of these let's kind of turn it like right here perfect I think that's a good view so we can work in different variations of the footwork okay and then as you're getting better with this you can speed up the drill you can intensify the pressure and all that stuff and now once we have the angle five down the angle one and the angle two now we can go through and transition between all three of these angles so we have the angle one trap it down to the angle two and as we trap it down check it out I can get this cut right here and go into angle five and you can start to mix and match this stuff okay I can come out look at that reverse into that angle two back to the angle one and this is what I love about the huba flow in Filipino martial arts because you can start to just free flow and the more techniques and angles and attacks and counters that you add into this drill the more this drill can become more and more unpredictable with all these different changes so we're gonna flow it out here to end out this video so make sure to hit the Subscribe button click the Bell so that way you uh turn on post notifications don't miss any upcoming videos because we're gonna add more huba training to your huba training hit the like button leave me a cool comment below I'd love to read all of your comments I try to reply to as many as I can and to further your training head over to kalicenter.com and go check out our online school join us over there we'd love to help you continue your colleague journey we'll see you back here next time here at the Kali Center YouTube channel [Music] [Applause] thank you [Music]
