Timing

You win battles by knowing the enemy's timing, and using a timing that the enemy does not expect.

- Miyamoto Musashi


Broken rhythm. When working our sparring drills this is the common thread. Be an unpredictable moving target. When we work Escrima stick counts we work a steady rhythm so that we learn to move in harmony with our partner. We learn to read and adapt to our partner's timing and rhythm. If we can read our opponent's timing and rhythm, we can exploit it.

When sparring we can use rhythm and timing to mislead opponents. Lull them into thinking they know our pattern then we use that against them. It is all a strategy, a game of chess, played out in fractions of seconds.


If you are interested in learning Kung Fu call us - we are currently training via Zoom, while we are forced to isolate:
