Anyo Isa eskrima just seeing if I got it right.

[SethG]

Hi, I am teaching a young student (who is crossing over into Arnis from basic karate) anyo isa with a single eskrima for a tournement... I just want to check that I have it right... if not please let me know.

As I was taught the stick form is as follows:

based on the 12 striking angles.
1) 1 strike
2) a roof block while rotating 180 degrees on the forward foot.
3) a 3 strike or a 9 stirke with a back step.
4) a 4 strike or an 8 strike with another back step.
5)repeat 1-4 then acknowledge judge

I know it's simple... but somehow it feels too simple.

I misplaced Remy Sr.'s book that i think has this in it.
things like that happen when remodeling all too often.

Generally, Anyo Isa for Modern Arnis (for stick) has 11 distinct moves (not including the bows and reset for position).

Its hard to picture, but it seems like what you are describing is like a variation of Anyo Dalawa with the strikes reversed.

Respectfully,

Here is what I do:

Anyo Isa:


1) Salute and Open. Step forward with the right leg and Strike a
Number (8) eight. Front walking stance.

2) Step forward with the left leg and Strike a Number (9) Nine.
Front Walking Stance.

3) Step forward with the right leg into a horseback stance facing west
and strike a four to the chest. Strike is to the North.

4) Step back with the right leg and perform a Down to the Right Block.
Front Walking Stance. Facing North.

5) Step back with the left leg and perform a Down to the Left Block.
Front Walking Stance. Facing North.

6) Step forward with the left leg and perform a Block to the Right with a
brace. Front Walking Stance. Facing North - East.

7) Step forward with the right leg and perform a Block to the Left without
a brace. Front Walking Stance. Facing North - West.

8) Step back with the right leg into an L stance while striking figure 8
up the middle of the opponent. The Figure 8 is a back hand up strike.

9) Step back with left leg, rotating 180 degrees to the left into a horseback
stance, where the body is facing the west, and the strike is figure 8 up
the middle to the West also.

10) Twirl over the head and then Strike straight down to the ground

11) Step back with right leg while rotating 90 degrees into a front
walking stance facing North, while performing a Down to the Right Block.

12 ) Step forward with the right leg back to zero and close.
