Anyos With Weapons
By MJS - Mon, 04 Feb 2008 15:50:14 GMT

====================

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I thought it'd make a good topic for discussion. Now, in Arnis, we have both empty hand anyos as well as 4 that are done with the cane. For the sake of viewing things differently, has anyone ever take the empty hand anyos, and put a cane or blade into your hand and performed them?

Of course, some of the moves will have to be slightly modified to compensate for the weapon, but the results can be rather interesting.

Occasionally, but the strong Shotokan basis of the anyos means it doesn't translate as well as it could in my opinion. Of course you can modify the form but if it's too modified it loses some of the point, I think.

when doing anyos, it pays to visualize them in minds eye first if you want to make them more fluid... When my guys do the balangkas in the Filipino Kuntao/kuntaw, it is easier for them to get the tempo by listening to their breathing and heart beat.. This is like a metronome used by musicians to set the pace and rhythm of a musical beat..

This way it opens up the gates of fluidity and lets them flow with the stream of energy as they see fit.. When doing the balangkas with a knife or knives, it is as simple as walking and chewing bubble gum by using this aspect of training.
