Numerada
The theme for tonight was numerada which
means “by the numbers”.
Stick vs Knife
Partner feeds basic cinqo teros (A1, A2,
A3, A4, A5) with the knife and you respond with any cinqo teros pattern:
- A1 strike his A1 (hit hand), then follow up
with an additional 4 strikes as you move left to zero pressure.
- A2 strike his A2 (hit hand), then follow up
with an additional 4 strikes as you move right to zero pressure.
- A3 strike his A3 (hit hand), then follow up
with an additional 4 strikes as you move left to zero pressure.
- A4 strike his A4 (hit hand), then follow up
with an additional 4 strikes as you move right to zero pressure.
- A3 strike his A5 (hit hand), then follow up
with an additional 4 strikes as you move left to zero pressure.
Partner feeds basic cinqo teros (A1, A2,
A3, A4, A5) with the knife and you respond as follows:
- A1 strike his A1 (hit hand), then follow up
with an A2, A1, forehand redondo as you move left to zero pressure.
- A2 strike his A2 (hit hand & step R. leg
back), then follow up with an A1, A2, backhand redondo as you move right
to zero pressure.
- A3 strike his A3 (hit hand), then follow up
with an A2, A1, forehand redondo as you move left to zero pressure.
- A4 strike his A4 (hit hand & step R. leg
back), then follow up with an A1, A2, backhand redondo as you move right
to zero pressure.
- A3 strike his A5 (hit hand), then follow up
with an A2, A1, forehand redondo as you move left to zero pressure.
Empty Hand vs Knife
Partner feeds basic cinqo teros (A1, A2,
A3, A4, A5) with the knife and you respond as follows:
- As partner A1’s block with outside of L.
forearm and R. finger jab the throat (hit chest for practice), take the R.
hand over the top (use back of hand and ‘flex’ the wrist to make the scoop
more effective) and feed the arm out (towards him not a wide sweep that
can cut your leg), cup elbow and eye jab, and slap and chop as you ¼ turn
clockwise and control his elbow with your L. hand (push it into him)
momentarily then almost spin behind him as you using the back of your bent
L. hand/forearm to monitor him. Be smooth and accelerate his arm as you
scoop.
- As partner A2’s block with outside of R.
forearm and L. eye jab, take the L. hand over the top and feed the arm out
the step out with L. and ¼ turn counter-clockwise back into R. lead as
slap and chop and keep turning to control his elbow with your R. hand
momentarily then almost spin behind him as you using the back of your bent
R. hand/forearm to monitor him.
- As partner angle 3’s low block with outside
of L. forearm and R. finger jab the throat (hit chest for practice), take
the R. hand over the top and feed the arm out (towards him not a wide
sweep that can cut your leg), cup elbow and eye jab, and slap and chop as
you ¼ turn clockwise and control his elbow with your L. hand (push it into
him) momentarily then almost spin behind him as you using the back of your
bent L. hand/forearm to monitor him.
- As partner angle 4’s, low block with outside
of R. forearm and L. eye jab, take the L. hand over the top and feed the
arm out the step out with L. and ¼ turn counter-clockwise back into R.
lead as slap and chop and keep turning to control his elbow with your R.
hand momentarily then almost spin behind him as you using the back of your
bent R. hand/forearm to monitor him.
- As partner angle 5’s low block with outside
of L. forearm and R. finger jab the throat (hit chest for practice), take
the R. hand over the top and feed the arm out (towards him not a wide
sweep that can cut your leg), cup elbow and eye jab, and slap and chop as
you ¼ turn clockwise and control his elbow with your L. hand (push it into
him) momentarily then almost spin behind him as you using the back of your
bent L. hand/forearm to monitor him.
Then do the same as above but don’t block
the knife first - just go straight into the ‘scoop’. This is because if they
are coming with a lot of momentum it might be better to go with it rather than
trying to stop the motion.
Double Stick vs Knife
- Partner feeds basic cinqo teros (A1, A2, A3,
A4, A5) with the knife and you respond from an open guard (sticks resting
on your traps) by doing a gunting vs each angle so you’re hitting the hand
with the R. stick and passing it with the L. stick on each angle creating
a scissor motion (almost simultaneously). You’ll be opening and closing
the arms so you start from an open position on angles 1, 3 & 5 & a
closed position (arms crossed) on 2 & 4.
- Partner feeds as above and you gunting the
initial strike but then go into the odd series (forehand, simultaneously
backhand and roof, forehand). For angles 1, 3 and 5 the key is not to
follow all the way through with the L. stick after the gunting but to retract it back
so you can go into the odd series starting with a L. forehand. For angles
2 and 4 the L. stick will chamber under the R. armpit after the gunting.
- Partner feeds as above and you gunting the initial strike then for angles 1, 3 and 5 as you zone L. and move to zero pressure you alternately forehand (L. stick) and backhand (R. stick) thrust to the face in a circular motion with the sticks parallel and horizontal, right below left. For angles 2 and 4 you zone R. and R. stick can be on top (forehand) and L. stick underneath (backhand) with torso facing R. or R. stick can be underneath (backhand) and L. stick on top (forehand) with torso facing L. This is called Totsada.
