Description
FMA - The Filipino X! And Configuring the 8's
by the Gringo! W. Hock Hochheim
W. Hock Hochheim has forged the very combative essence of Pacific Islands fighting systems into his 10 level PAC course. In this DVD, Hock explains the use of the X pattern in hand, single stick, double stick, espada y daga and double knife methods.
“ I have been involved in Pacific Ocean martial arts since 1972 and the Filipino martial arts since 1986. I have done so many different kinds that I cannot be beholding to just any one, or two, or more FMAs for that matter. This video is a "Freelancer" collection X pattern/material from all these systems, but in particular, all the Filipino systems that somehow, in some way use the X in;
- striking,
- blocking
- grappling
- combat scenarios
with;
- hand/mano mano
- single stick, single and double handed grip
- double stick
- knife
- double knife
- espada y daga
You can use this material to organize a class session, a seminar session, or just to exercise through a theme related series based on the X patterns.” - Hock
