Arnis Strikes #

These drills are done with a short stick. You start with the stick in your right hand, right foot forward. At first you do everything stationary, then with V-stepping (right, then left).

Repeat on the left side.

Note: When you do a strike, always follow through and bring the stick back into position behind your shoulder. When you are doing the V-stepping, the completion of the backward step is done as you return the stick from the strike.
