Our progress in SERRADA is going very good this year.
I am getting new students every other week. I am teaching
one to one and have to travel to them, that can become
tiring. But art is spreading very fast now. Now I meet
people from other Eskrima systems, and Serrada is completely
different. In fact, you should train this:
1. I saw your student in the tournament. Now, you should
first teach him Elastico Largo which is how it will be
when at a distance. Because when you are further out,
you dont approach with Serrada in mind, you swing and
do Elastico type blocks. The sticks will just slip from
each other so you cannot do Serrada.
2. The tournament type sparring is all reversible
by basic Serrada Lock & Block. This is what you should
try now and not be impressed with tournaments.
