ANTI-DEMENTIA HEALTH BENEFITS OF OUR TRAINING

While having fun, you will develop coordinated skills in self defense and critical thinking. If the opponent is to strike what will be your counterstrike? If your opponent is to avoid that counterstrike what will you do next? Balintawak will also help you develop coordination, striking and weapons training. This helps in the improvement of speed, timing, control, and maintaining focus under pressure. Not only will you develop skills but also improvement on health and cognitive functions. And as you progress, you will more equipped and empowered to cope with all these pressing demands of day to day life.

ENJOY AGELESS STRENGTH

Balintawak places a heavy emphasis on defense. Anyone can swing a stick but it takes special skills to stop and manage a stick in motion without using much of your brutal force. Remember, it doesn't matter how powerful you are, if you don't stop that strike you aren't going to get a chance to launch your own. As in a dance, timing is everything as setup. With the right placement and maneuvering of the stick (plastada), appropriate skills employed (lihok-kuha), you'll get to finish (lusot) with minimalism and elegance.

BASIC TRAINING SEQUENCE

Even though Balintawak's functionality is a both sport and combative, as a Filipino Martial Arts, it's best and elegant to learn it as in a dance. Relax, flow, timing, and swing it!
