Black Scorpion
Arnis Sinawali System
Sinawali comes from the word sawalis. Sawalis refers to the weaving of palm leaf walls and floors common in the Philippines and South East Asia.
The movements of the arms while practicing the martial Sinawali are said to imitate this weaving.
Sinawali is the flowing movements of two sticks, which are implemented
with speed, strength and precision. The opponent is met thereby in the shortest time by a hail of impacts. The movements can be implemented
either alone or with a partner, unarmed, or with bastons, blades or with flexible articles. Sinawalis can be combined with innumerable possibilities of
patterns. Some variations are quite simply while others are more complex and need more time, in order to control them. But all areenriching in the
training of everyday life. The Sinawali promotes and at the same time controlling of the baston, the timing, the precision of the impact, the
coordination, the perseverance and if one trains it accordingly, peripheral coordination of the mind, and the body in the physical poetry of movement.
A further advantage is that the Sinawali coordinates the right hand and arm
and equally the left hand and arm. Which whether the person is right
handed or left-handed makes no difference in the technology in which they are trained. The characteristic of Black Scorpion Arnis Sinawali System are
the many variation of Sinawalis with their dangerous fast Abanico techniques, which is like a deadly scorpion sting, that's why the style is
called "Black Scorpion" The Punong Guro at Pangulo Marlon Sahulga (Cebu/ Philippine) has created this aggressive, forceful, yet flowing style.
This System is recognised by the Samahang Escrimador ng Pilipinas and the Lapu-Lapu Filipino Instructor Federation. Instructor Dennis Diekmann is one of the western experts of this system. |
