Latosa Escrima Short Weapons, Hand Sticks. GM Réné Latosa.

A short powered weapon is any object that you can hold firmly in your hand and use it to protect yourself and your loved ones. Actually, the size, shape and weight of the weapon are irrelevant. The important thing is that the short power weapon gives you the advantage in a dangerous situation. A short power weapon is an extension of your hand. It can be anything you use to protect yourself in a dangerous situation, such as a pen, a brush, your phone or even your empty hands. To use a short powered weapon in an effective way, you must first understand the basic concepts of body mechanics, so as to obtain its maximum power, as well as gaining movement control. In this work, Grand Master Réné Latosa emphasizes how to use the Latosa-Escrima concepts: balance, speed (timing and distance), power, focus (attitude) and transition, to boost all the movement aspects used in the successful execution of any offensive or defensive action. Using Latosa-Escrima concepts is important because each person is physically and mentally different, so using a system or method based on techniques may not work for all people. As in any process in Martial Arts, anything and everything can be refined through development and practice. You're the ones who make this weapon work in an efficient and effective way. You are the ones who adapt to the situation. The priority is to make sure that you are safe and that you are going to win. Martial Arts were not developed to strike and defeat anyone, but to provide us with the strategy to win. 64 min.
