Flexible weapons

[Dmitry]

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if there are any instructional videos or books covering flexible weapons techniques (panyo, etc.).
Thanks a lot in advance,
Dmitry

If you mean specifically Lameco based, then I would say no. I have seen PG Sulite doing some panyo stuff during a seminar (which I have on video), but other than that, nothing else.
However, if you mean any author of any style, I think you might get quite a few nice things from Scott Homscheck's DVD he did for Paladin Press.

Dear Gagimilo,
Thanks a lot for your response.
I did not mean specifically Lameco. Just read the PG Sulite included some material from Simaron style to Lameco that he found very interesting.

Check James A. Keating's series on flexibles.

Dmitry,

Hello, yes in Lameco Eskrima; Practical Self-Defense (1 & 2) PG Sulite covers quite a few uses of the panyo against knife which he learned from Simaron style.

PG Sulite actually had us train this material using the panyo, neck-tie, belt, t-shirt and plastic bag against a knife. Basically anything that is somewhat flexible can be used in this manner. I hope that this helps answer your question.

Go well, ciao.

Guro Dave Gould.

My instructor, Guru Ken Pannell, has a very good video on the subject. It's more from an Indonesian perspective but it is excellent material nonetheless. You can order it at http://asianfightingarts.com/merchandise.php

There's also a clip of him beating the tar out of me & one of my peers - flexible weapon work at the end of the clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hx67huJv66k

Also, I covered it some in one of the workshops available in this DVD package: https://www.createspace.com/Store/ShowEStore.jsp?id=253720

There's an excerpt from this one on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnsFjufJB50

Ron Balicki also has a good video on the subject at: http://www.ronbalicki.com/video_srng.htm

Flexible weapons is one of my favorite areas of training :D
