Advanced Training

Cuentada in motion — for students who have proven their basics.

Advanced training builds on a proven foundation in the 12 basic strikes and the Five Groupings. Here, the focus shifts from individual technique to cuentada — reading the unfolding exchange, timing counters, and staying several moves ahead of the opponent.

Students work on disarms, counter-for-counter drills, reading telegraphing, and the close-quarter sensitivity that defines corto-range Balintawak. Progress is tracked through kartiyo — visible, provable understanding under pressure, not just technique collection.

Advanced sessions are arranged individually. Speak with Guro Rolly Villa about readiness and scheduling.
