If you could only train on one weapon, which among single stick, >double stick, sword and dagger or knife would you choose? Given such a choice, double stick would be mine, as in my experience it develops both hands to work together, and single stick is sort of a subset of doble baston. My checking, for example, improved vastly with doble baston, after I moved on to single stick. > >2. If you where training a beginning adult student who wanted to learn >your whole art, which weapon category would you train him in first, >second, third, etc.? Basic with the single stick using his dominant hand, then have him mirror these moves with his weaker hand, perhaps with twice the frequency until it catches up. When both have near-same strength and dexterity, move on to doble baston. > >3. Would you train the student in question 2 "A to Z" in one weapon >before moving on to the next (Tuhon Gaje said this was done with him >as a child), or would you train your student with all the "A's" across >the board then all the "B's" etc? Yes. > >4. If you had just 6 weeks to train someone for combat (say a solider >issued a fighting/utility knife and a machete to clear brush) how >would you train him? He will be in a zone where the indigenous >population often carries edged tools for farm work and has a history >of edged weapon fighting arts. P.S.
