Regarding the teaching of the Davis/Cabales System of Serrada
Escrima ... we have approached it # x #.

In other words, providing all the information for each angle step by
step in order of progression. In this way giving the student full
scope of what is available to them. This would include empty hand
translations and disarms. We do not cover reversals at that time
however.

I can not speak for anyone else, however, I was introduced to the
system "by the numbers" so to speak. But we were given "3" counters
for each angle with empty hand translations and disarms. After
learning # 6 this was a testing time for rank progression. Then
obviously went thru #s 7 - 12 in the same fashion.

In the midst of this also came lock & block and sumbrada and C hand
progressionary drils.

We then came back to #1 and learned the "advanced" counters,
translations, & disarms. Also during this progression we tackled
the built in system of reversals and picking and such.
