Return to Manila with Brooklyn Monk, Antonio Graceffo, to study stick fighting techniques with Kuntaw Master Frank Aycocho. As a Kuntaw master, Master Frank believes strongly in using only one stick. This way, one hand is free to use for grappling, disarming, and striking. The Master also demonstrates the grappling and throwing techniques which are possible if you leave a single hand free.

 

This video was edited by Andy To, the American film student, who is quickly building a name for himself as a an expert with martial arts videos.
