Rosada Two Hand Balintawak Arnis Escrima — How I found Eskrima Arnis in the Philippines around Cebu Lapu Lapu and Bohol.

In discovering Rosada Two Hand Balintawak the first thing I noticed is that it looks different from all the other Arnis Escrima and Balintawak I have seen on youtube videos. This is because Rosada asks the question, "What if my opponent holds my stick?" Rosada then went on through trial and error to formulate a whole new system to add to the current Balintawak Systems. Holding, controlling and disarming the opponent's stick then became the main purpose of this system.

Many Arnis simply tapi-tapi an opponent's hand or stick away, thus giving them their weapon back so they can then strike again. The Rosada System has its focus on controlling the opponent's stick from the first 'draw' or contact.

You would not take a gun from an assailant, disarm a knife and own someone's weapon such as a stick as soon as possible, the knife fighting priorities attributes of Rosada Arnis Stick Two Hand Balintawak System. The opponent's stick control is the most vital target and the center line approach, using the shortest distance and first strike principles. Using the exact same principles as wing chun: chii sau forward forward sensitivity drills and techniques based on centerline forward force. Chi Sau sensitivity drills and trapping is a basis of wing chun and tai chi styles of kung fu. For Indeed it is validating to know it as a key fundimental of the two-hand-one-arnis-stick centerline grappling ideals of Rosada Style.

Close Range Stick Fighting often called Balintawak.

These ideas will enhance your close range fighting and add to your skills, superior offensive defensive one strike victory concepts, instant disarms and the pressure sensitivity skills to place your opponent off balance, confused and unable to prevent your strikes where you choose them to land.

Could your Arnis benefit from knowing how to recover your stick from a grabbing opponent? Could your skills improve if you added to your current skills a principle of instant control of not only your own stick but also that of your opponents.

These principles also cross into knife and hand to hand defenses.

Dan Innosanto, Bruce Lee and Rosada Multi-Defense Two Hand Balintawak Arnis searched for new developments and created philosophical theories in modern kung fu and arnis styles: my mix of chinese and filippino is the core of jeet kune do, taking what works and discarding the rest that does not, while keeping an open mind to develop our styles.
