THE IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING AMBIDEXTERITY

To become proficient in both stances, it is essential to include exercises in our training that develop coordination, balance and strength evenly on both sides of the body.

One possible exercise involves performing the 1 & 2 corner attack with a stick, incorporating a continuous change of guard, hip opening and follow-through, ideally with 1.5 kg wrist weights.

The ability to fight in both stances is a rare skill that is only achieved after years of hard work and sacrifice. Ambidexterity is also known to lead to better coordination, motor efficiency and adaptability. The aim is not to replace the dominant hand, but to prepare for any unexpected situation that might arise during a physical confrontation. Things do not always go to plan, so we must be prepared to adapt and fight with our non-dominant hand.

CARLOS HERMANOS

Carlos Hermanos is a method of stick and knife fighting that was developed by the brothers Sixto and Baste Carlos. Both are certified instructors in four of the major styles of Filipino Martial Arts (FMA): Lameco, De Campo, Kalis Ilustrisimo, and Pikiti Tirsia. The Carlos brothers pressure tested all the techniques they had acquired over the years, through sparring and various combat drills, constantly throwing out the flashy and ineffective moves, and what they came up with is a condensed, highly offensive, and highly effective system of not more than 10-12 moves, which makes it quite easy to learn.The curriculum is a short one, but a lot of emphasis is placed on the fundamentals techniques, as well as the attributes of form, speed, and power
