We have worked together with Master Jun Dacayana to provide a modular structured syllabus of 10 modules for our students to study. The system is initially studied to practitioner (Black belt) level here in the UK using the following five Dacayana Modules: Single Stick (Solo Olisi) The modules are generally taught in this order with emphasis on the comprehensive Solo Olisi module for beginners. The Doble Olisi module is mainly for co-ordination. As the student progresses she/he is introduced to the unique Dacayana system training methods (under the umbrella term Balla Balla) before learning the Olisi Kutselyo forms that are the basis for the Sumbagay system. The next five Modules are mostly reserved for more advanced students wishing to develop above the threshold of 'Black Belt' but throughout our training we never forget the importance of the Basic strikes as the building blocks of the system! Two of the advanced modules are totally unique to Eskrima either in the UK or in Cebu.  |
