Allow me to present an analytical study of one Siliat
series because:
1.
It’s a neat two person exercise – nothing wrong
with enjoying your study.
2.
Looking into the underlying principles yields
understanding that helps in other places of our study.
3.
The entire drill is an exercise in Wansu
application.
The technique is Danny Inosanto presenting one Siliat
technique application study on youtube.
(note I often
download the .flv file from youtube to save and use in future analysis and
reference)
Next I have developed my own descriptive shorthand to
describe two person interaction. It is never exactly the same as what is done
on the floor, but it helps break the series into pieces making analysis easier.
The following is how I first describe how Danny Inosanto
is working the technique series.
1. Attacker uses right low roundhouse
1.a. Defender
raises left leg to parry kick (note how
both arms are extended in front of the Defender)
2. Attacker returns right foot to ground and strikes with
the right hand
2.a. Defender
presses across the Attackers punch with both arms and counter right knee strikes into their
abdomen
3. Attacker strikes with their left hand
3.a. Defender
just presses both hand into the inside of the Attacker’s strike to deflect it
3.b. Then the
Defenders right arm circles the attacker down (clockwise) to be followed with a
right strike to the Attackers head – they shy from that strike.
3.c. Next the Defender’s left hand grabs the
Attacker’s arm and the Defender’s right arm pulls back from the punch as he
shifts slightly to the rear. This drags the Defender forward destroying their
center and balance.
3.d. The Defender
concludes by using their right arm to circle behind the Attacker’s head and
rotate them down to the ground, following them down for effect.
So we have three man attack sequences and three sets of
defensive counters.
