This art was traditionally a bare handed contest so the training differs slightly from the arts that are conditioned to use a glove. Hitting the back of the head, the groin, the arms and the spine are common tactics to this art. The modern day training at Unified Martial Arts Academy is safe, exciting and practical. Focus Mitts are the primary tool used to train the basics. The actual techniques are worked lightly with a partner or on protective equipment.
Students are amazed that they can move a body and hit in so many creative and effective ways.
These kicks are designed to help other shots land. As with the Panantukan, many tools are used. The Feet, Shins, Knees, Heels and even hips are used. These tools are generally aimed at the low line. When taken together with the high line they blend perfectly into one formidable art.
