Welcome to Monday Arnis videos.
Today, we will look at a sinawali with a knife for beginners.
After the sinawali with the sticks,
this time, sinawali with the knife for the beginners.
Simple attack, frontal from bottom to top.
I intercept and cut.
I control and push his arm and I attack back.
I stop with the blade, I control and attack.
I reverse the blade :-)
Slowly.
I naturally returned my blade so as not to hurt him with my real knife.
If I keep the blade in the right way I will block like this so as not to hurt it.
If I remove my knife to find my bare hands,
go on.
It's exactly the same thing.
I apply a control principle with double protection,
and do not forget to transfer your body weight 
to deflect the attack.
If you stay here, it is too strong.
So I take off my body and then I come back.
Think that the sinawali are educational to get you accustomed to movement,
to get used to control the strike, 
to work with your 2 hands,
to have a drill.
It's a "drill". Sinawali = drill .
It is a basic sequence.
There are some complicated ones by attacking either up, down, right, left...
It does not matter, it will remain exercises codified with an agreement between my partner and myself.
One can not think that sinawali represents reality.
This is an educational to use both hands as I said before.
Thanks for your watching, now go train.
Be careful and do not start working with real knives.
You can with wooden knives, aluminum, plastic.
Thank you and I hope this video has interested you.
