  Greetings!
  
  At the behest of Pak Steve, we will be offering a Monday evening Kuntao Silat applications class online beginning Monday, November 22nd. Class will be at 6:45 CST and run for an hour. We will review the American KTS warm up/basics every class, then work on applications of these basics. It is encouraged that you find a partner to train alongside you, but I’ll share alternative ideas if that isn’t possible for you due to life circumstances.
  
  If there are questions or requests for material please don’t hesitate to contact me!

It’s All in the Elbow
Southeast Asian Martial arts generally, and KunTao Silat specifically, are famous for effective use of the elbows as offensive and defensive weapons. But aside from these more obvious applications of the elbow in striking, blocking, and deflecting techniques lies a deeper principle: the elbow is one of the keys to martial arts. The elbow is the next major joint down from the shoulder, which itself connects directly to the spine via the trapezius and rhomboid muscles. Thus, movement of the elbow invariably involves the shoulder and thus the spine. This means that a proper unification of the elbow to the spine and legs via stances creates more powerful and efficient movements. It also means that if you can control the movement of an enemy’s elbow, you can effectively change the alignment of his spine, disrupting balance and all of his kinetic chains. Take a second look at all of the Djurus and you’ll start to notice a lot of emphasis on the position and alignment of the elbows in each posture and transition. Study this deeply in Sticky Hands and Free Play Sparring. Have fun! Dr. Jon
