thank you Sir! I was always
thank you Sir! I was always wondering what the rank system was.
knowledge is much more
knowledge is much more important than a colored pc of cloth but with the different styles in the system, what determines rank? It is hard to word the question correctly. In my own training i have been training more in serrada than the other core styles. Can you hold multiple ranks in the system? is there prerequsits you need to know in each style for rank?
I have been training in Tae kwon do for almost 30 years and there is certain forms and things you need to know at each rank to test for a rank, with different styles in the system i was wondering and asked by others how rank is earned and what is needed?
Cogitate, don't regurgitate
NewHorizon,
I would have to say first and foremost that the ability to think about, comprehend, and extrapolate would be some of the things we are looking for in the Inayan SYSTEM of Eskrima. Regurgitation of rote memorized material is not very useful in terms of being an Eskrimador, most especially an Inayan Eskrimador. Drilling for the sake of drilling is a waste of time, and for the most part is a form of mental self stimulation....
Mangisursuro Mike Inay made a distinction between knowing something, explaining something, being able to perform something, and being proficient in something. Proficiency was always valued highest, and specifically the proficient use of the methods taught within the Inayan System of Eskrima for the use of Self Defense scencarios, close quarters combat, reflex and stress training, and street fighting situations. Do you know it? Would be the first question. Can you defend yourself? Would be the second question, with the caveat of the person being evaluated actually using the material taught to them. Can you do it well, and with good body mechanics while displaying superior tactical use of the skills and strategies of the styles within the system. If you can't block hard, then you will suck wind.. Thats an Epic Fail.
As you mature within my Family's system of martial art you move away from dogma and towards self expression, proficiency, and expertise. The Inayan System of Eskrima, is a study of human behavior and the human condition under combative situations, with the intention of cultivating masterful examples of martial arts. So memorization of a million techniques and drills is just.... more mental stroking. Practical use of the arts, while looking aesthetically and bio mechanically sound is our focus. Remember fighting is often surprising, and uncertain, so memorization and regurgitation is a great way to build confidence and not a reliable way of building Martial Prowess. As Sursuro Defanti will often say, "You either know it, or you don't. And it will be obvious"
Yes Sir. Got it, Thank you .
Yes Sir. Got it, Thank you . :)
It is not in the knowing but in the doing of the art that truely makes one a warrior.
