After having a really hot week packed with fires through out the
county, the weather was great this weekend. During the week it was so
hot that I hardly practiced. I picked up the training bolos once in a
while, but didn't do too much due to the heat. On Friday we headed out
to our usual destination, Crown Point. I practiced by myself under a
tree in the shade while the Wifey and kiddo played in the water and
playground under the sun.
I
went over all of the material that I know from curriculum. As usual I
start off with my warm up. Then I move on to double sticks to single
stick. Then I go from single blade to double blade, and finally to empty
hand. Double blades isn't part of my curriculum yet, but I've been
doing it along with my training so that when it does come I'll be a
little more comfortable with it (holding blades in both hands). So I
practice both forward and reverse grip double knife work off tapping and
guntings.
(Cinco Teros with my left.)
On
Saturday we hit the beach. The Wifey warmed up and did a little stick
work with me. After that I turned on some Carenza music and went through
all of the material. I did a lot of Carenza and Cinco Tero work that
day as well. Trying to prepare for when Manong came down on Sunday in
which Cinco Teros was part of the agenda. After a couple of hours of
practicing, playing in the sun with the kiddo, and having snacks,
Osairis fell asleep in Mama's arms so we packed up and headed home.
Sunday came and we were running
late. When we got there Manong was going through the strikes for the
Cinco Teros. I accidentally tagged Tracee twice with my stick. Once on
the arm and another on her thumb as my stick glided down hers on the
strike. SORRY BABE!!! lol. It's ok though. In the middle of all the
stick work I eventually got tagged in the eye by her stick. Haha. But
man I was really feeling the Cinco Tero drills. Tracee and I even broke
one of the sticks we used during the drills and the guys demolished on
of the thicker sticks as well. Drew and Manong demonstrated more stick
drills and then after doing that for a while we went on to
Sarong/Malong.
It seemed like it was a Sarong/Malong day for the
FCS tribe because other groups were doing Sarong/Malong work too! I've
been wanting to learn this for a long time. I've had one for a while
now, but just never had anyone show it to me in person. All I had were
videos so I was pretty juiced to learn this stuff. I like how it takes
little effort to create so much torq. Bernie demonstrated on me so I
learned just how tight things could get. He also explained how the
techniques are great for women who carry bags with long straps or say a
duffle or laptop bag with a shoulder strap. Really cool stuff. Everyone
was getting tied up and choked out.
Throughout practice Richie
would sneak attack us with either sticks or aluminium training hawks.
lol. That kid is going to be breaking sticks in no time. I love the
tornado strike he does. Everybody gets hit! Ha ha. Good times! Wish more
could have made it out. Well that's what all happened this weekend. See
everyone soon and happy trainings. ItsYoBoyFlex and I'm out.
