hey welcome to kali center do me a quick favor smash the thumbs up button hit the subscribe button leave me a comment below and grab two sticks for our training today in our filipino martial arts let's rock and roll in today's training we're gonna be taking a look at a drill that is combining a little bit of the heaven six training drill okay if you don't know the heaven six i'll go ahead and pop a link up and put it down in the description below so that way you can get some instruction on the heaven six drill if you don't know this one make sure that you go through and you learn this drill it's very very important it's a very basic drill for kali on the double stick so we're going to be using a little bit of that drill combining with some thrusting and some other slashes on the double sticks today this drill can be done with two sticks or it can be done with two swords so it's a 16 count drill we have eight moves on the right hand side and eight moves on the left hand side so i'm gonna start off in the right chamber position right here i'm gonna strike my number one and then strike my left two just like in the heaven six or our cinewallies then i'm gonna strike my right two and it's gonna go all the way through this time and i'm gonna come in with my left thrust and then my right thrust notice how my left hand is starting to flip i'm gonna come up what we call our three line back down the two line and then a powerful number one on the right hand right there right that brings us to the left-hand side let's go ahead and just look at the right-hand side one more time nice and slow from here we're striking our one our two and then our right hand two thrust the left hand thrust the right hand come up on the three on the left hand down on that two on the left hand and then a powerful number one on the right hand right there now everything's going to mirror repeat on the left-hand side so i'm going to strike on my left one strike my right two strike my left two here's my right thrust my left thrust my right angle three and my right angle two followed up with the left angle one right there now when we put everything together nice and slow this is when we get that 16 count let's go and count it out and make sure we got all the moves from here we have 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 and 16 right there [Applause] so [Applause] so let's go ahead and get a few reps in together nice and slow right here starting off in that right chamber position striking that number one on the right hand left hand number two right hand number two now notice how that left hand prepares for the thrust thrust the left thrust the right see how that left hand turns over now there's that slash down slash and the one slash on the right hand side left chamber nice and slow left hand number one right hand number two there's that left hand number two again look at that right hand it's in the thrusting position thrust the right thrust the left see how that right hand is ready now in the slashing position come up on that three slash down on that two slash and then down on the one slash on the left hand all right let's go ahead and get a few more reps in together nice and slow and let's count it out all 16 movements you have one two three four five six seven eight nine 10 11 12 13 14 15 and 16. let's do it again make it a little bit smoother just a tad bit faster we have one two three four five six 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 and 16. one more time a little smoother and a little faster one two three four five six seven eight nine 10 11 12 13 14 15 and 16. all right this one can be a little bit challenging because we're doing some different types of transitions not quite the beginner like you know cinewally stuff where it's all slashes we're starting to combine different tactics of our cuts and our thrusts we're starting to come down on our cuts up on our cuts in the middle we got some thrust so we're changing up some of the transitions of what we have to do with our weapon so remember we got to have that awareness and remember where we are within the flow within the drill give this one a go start off nice and slow and if you have to use the ladder learning method and just work your way from move one all the way up to move eight so from here you just start off with strike one do that three times then hit one two three times right then hit one two three three times and that way you can get all of these positions down right one two three four right there okay and so on and so on and just climb the ladder like that if you have to get the right hand side down first then focus on getting the left hand side down and then bring the drill together if you're looking for more of a place to begin your double stick training head over
