Solo Stick Fighting Drills

11 of them... They're essential...
And: no training partner necessary

Single Stick is one of the core areas of Filipino Martial Arts.

It can get very deep and complicated, with many fancy looking techniques and sequences.

These are great fun to learn, and a good challenge to own and master!

BUT, without solid foundations, will be very hard to make work against a resisting opponent.

With this course, my aim is to show you the fundamentals, in a way that is quick and simple to learn.

These will help you be at the right place, at the right time, and hit your opponent hard, in order to make the more complex stuff more likely to work!

When you complete this course, you will have learned:

  • Three Methods of Power Striking

  • The Simple Angle System

  • Linear, Angular and Falling Footwork

  • Lightning Fast hand defence

  • The Simple Combination Builder

  • The Six Levels of Stick Shadow Boxing
    for focussed progression

How It Works

  • Instant Access

    Log in, or create an account, to get instant access to the 11 Essential Stick Fighting Solo Drills for free.

  • Stream on Any Device

    Access the drills on any device with a suitable connection, at any time.

  • Spark Creativity

    Although the drills are simple, I bet you can think of millions of ways to combine them...

It's comprehensive, well-structured and enthusiastically taught and the lighting, image and sound quality are all excellent. I think the level of detail and the time spent on each lesson are ideal for someone with a little experience who is looking to get an overview of what to learn and also for people who are a bit more experienced who want a different perspective. It was good fun.

I'm loving Harry's course and his teaching style. The videos are not only very clearly presented, he's really thought about how to break down this work and get it across in a comprehensive way. I've learned a lot in a short space of time and the bite-size nature of the videos mean I've been able to dip in and out when I can, but still get a lot out of it. Now my 10 year-old son is joining in and we're having great fun!

This was a great intro into sticks. Super clear instructions and visuals. Particularly found the front and side views useful. I also appreciated that some of the finer details (grip, posture etc.) were kept separate so that I could get stuck in and have a go. Presentation is spot on - clear, informative without waffle and personable. I like how every move has a clear application explained - no ‘why am I doing this?’ moments. Pretty fab, thank you 👍🏻

As an somewhat experienced FMA artist, I still get value from this short course. It explains some very important clues to how to handle a stick in a fight. Also the body mechanic is an important part of this class. And it is also easily explained. Absolutely recommended for both new and seasoned FMA warriors👍

Your Instructor

My name is Harry and welcome to Fight Dad!

I've been training, teaching and fighting in Filipino Martial Arts (Kali / Arnis / Escrima) for more than 15 years.

I've created this FREE course to share the 11 Essential Stick Fighting solo drills that every FMA practitioner should know.

You won't need a gym or class to go to, a partner to train with, or even a stick (see below...) to benefit from these drills.

Click the button below to get access to your free course.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it work?

Easy! Sign up to this FREE course, and you get instant access online. Watch on any device with a suitable connection, any-where and any-when!

What's included inside the course?

This course contains the 11 (like 10, but 1 louder) essential solo drills for stick fighting that I believe every Filipino Martial Arts practitioner should know and train*

There are also 4 BONUS videos which include some of the finer points of posture, structure, base, range, and what object to use (and it doesn't have to be a 'proper' stick...)

*yeah, they still need training! Sorrynotsorry.

How long will I have access?

Once you enroll in the course, you have unlimited access to the material.

Yep, for free!

BUT, I am sure you have realised that I want you to actually take action using the things you learn!

So make sure to allocate enough time to watch, learn, practice, return, re-learn, practice again, and then contact me with the questions you have.
