Haiku #2

Posted on April 18, 2014 by msmbnyc

Fresh snow in springtime

Warm thoughts surrounded by cold

Still, the geese return

If you're in the Seattle area this summer. DM me for info on my annual summer Tri-V intensive, private lessons and the late July - 3 Day Co-Lab. Looking forward to building with you all. #msmb #webelieveinlife #ptta #kalimundo #ptkwf #ptkelite #TriV #pekitiuniversity #pekititirsiatacticalassociation #traineveryway #traineveryday #ptk #kali

DUMPAG: Dumpag is the combined word which expresses that the empty hands striking, joint manipulation/destruction (pangamut) and grappling (dumog) of PTK are inextricably connected. #msmb #webelieveinlife #ptkwf #ptta #kalimundo #martialarts #selfdefense #community #ptk #fma #mixedmartialarts #silat #wrestling #grappling #capoeiraangola #dumog #pangamut Photo credit: @thedavidjaffe

Tron & Intention Fist working on our 5 ELBOWS / STRIKE & PARRY DRILL. I've noticed that at the core of a lot of more complex pangamut material we receive at seminars are a few, maybe 7 or 8, empty hand drills (sagong labo, parry/comb, gunting, etc) that give us the coordination and understanding to pick up more quickly and allow us to focus more on the subtleties when we have the opportunity to work with a tuhon. This practice walks us through some elbow striking angles and passing methods. #msmb #webelieveinlife #ptkwf #ptta #kalimundo #ptkelite #wellness #fitness #health #community #eachoneteachone #martialarts #selfdefense #community #ptk #fma #mixedmartialarts #silat #wrestling #grappling #capoeiraangola #traineveryway #traineveryday

WHY TRAIN OUTDOORS? Because our parks, plazas, yards, forest areas provide all the tools. Footwork happens on hillsides, mulch, pavement, grass up and down curbs and benches. Drills go on in the rain (and sometimes snow) and on the warmest of days. There's nothing here saying we don't appreciate our indoor space for all the convenience it allows but take another look before you write off a group that trains in the park. In Portuguese, I'd call that "comida caseira." #msmb #ptkwf #ptta #kalimundo #traineveryway #traineveryday #health #wellness #fitness #martialarts #selfdefense #community #culture #ptk #silat #capoeiraangola #wrestling #grappling #womeninpower #outdoors #eachoneteachone
