Any thoughts to this drill?

[Mano Mano]

I like it, the empty hand & weapons versions.

Hey dcrjradmonish and Mano Mano,
Thanks for your feedback. What do you find Hubud benefits and improves the most?

Thanks!

it's similar to lap-sao/lap-da, but with destructions, transitions and exchanges, and translates to the blade.
It's a great drill for beginners to develop coordination, reflex, reaction, sensitivity.
It's also fun.

It helps teach positioning (close down that centerline), it can be used w/ weapon or emptyhand, it can be a base to transition into other drills and a place to return to between several drills. It can be all striking, or as a setup for grappling. What`s not to love?

& because of the above I find it an excellent way to try & apply chin na techniques in what I call a semi compliant method.

It's a good thing for beginners to develop co-ordination.

after that, it's a waste of time like anything that falls under the law of diminishing returns.

once you got the concept, you should move on to more productive training methods.

I wouldn't skip learning the drill if you don't already get the whole idea of staying in and being aware of what's going on and finding your own innate ability to sense motion and so on.
