"Cuatro Cantos - "4 corners" a KI drill used with all weapon categories to develop proper sectoring, footwork, controlling of range etc."
The Largo Mano style of Arnis I learned has a drill (a very important
drill) by this name also. It starts out as basically what most FMA
players call "high low sinawali" or "four count" sinawali.
But from there you mix up the sides (all the while staying on the 2 beats)
etc and it becomes the fundamental driving drill that you can extrapolate
the whole system from the very simple Kuatro Konto drill.
Could someone explain in basic terms how the Cuatro Contos drill
works in K.I.? I'm mainly just curious if it's just a grammatical similarity
or if the similarity is functional also. I'm pretty sure there is little
or no lineage relationship between the arnis I learned and the K.I.
system (the one I learn is ostensibly from Luzon, P.I.).
