The 35 Essentials in Close-Quarter Stick Fighting

    “Through the last 4 decades I’ve worked through many Filipino stick fighting systems and I began to recognize the common threads and methods in all of them. I began to collect and organize these threads and I have settled upon 35 essential things that every Filipino stick practitioner must know, when battling stick versus stick, past the dueling range and into close range.
    Expressing these 35, most of them through the Combat Clock of high, right, low and left, attacks, rather than all these numerous disconnected and disjointed numbering systems, opens these 35 methods into a simple, yet giant array of total skills and knowledge. Universal and unique. Plus it offers a vital outline as an instructional tool to teach the subject.”

Hock:
This material is about closer quarters than dueling and a lot about the diminished fighter. You know, stick fighters may be diminished to some degree in a world without helmets and protective gear. A real world where entry into closer ranges becomes more possible. It is also the core of stick tapi-tapi.

I need to clear the card and get this.

Hock:
I only make a Filipino DVD about once a year. Last year was the Windmill. Day-to-day business has me preoccupied with hand, stick, knife and gun tactical matters, but my mind still wanders back to aiki-jitsu and FMA. Like a puzzle and puzzle-solving. Like a hobby you don't really have time for. Then something boils up and compells me to document it.

Ron Goin says on Facebook -
"I've always been amazed at Hock Hochheim's ability to distill the most important combative elements out of the plethora of systems, styles and techniques out there. He has a logical, systematic, and practical approach whereby he cuts through the veneer and gets at the meat of what works. His famous 'clock' approach is at once simple and yet sophisticated. I can't wait to get this new DVD!"
