Never tried it my self thou, but is it legitimate? Probably . Sikiran exists in many forms , traditionally its a village foot fighting system where they continually flog each other with fast complex kicks , full contact . The version I did had devolved to a 'karate' form , but it still retained some unusual kicks , the instructor (Filipino ) had remarkable speed, flexibility in the hips and reflexes . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve had a little training with a Guro who got the chance to train in 2 or 3 systems in the Filipines. A westerner but I think sincere and arduous, his stuff was great to watch. While I only got to spend time briefly with him. I’ve trained often over the years drilling in the basics. I feel that goes a long way energetically. I prefer to have some training in person. Mantak Chia and Bruce Frantzis I’ve not had the chance to contact in person. Even for a minute would be awesome as their works in their books have been most beneficial over the years. Have you practiced much internal martial arts or more only the hard external stuff? Also did you follow any Qigong systems over the years? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just watched the first five minutes with some food. actually, I remember being so impressed with his view and philosophy about it, ( the latter half of the vid , I think ) I am going to watch it again ... Have you practiced much internal martial arts or more only the hard external stuff? You will have to define the difference to me . I have not not done anything that specifically identifies it as such , but I might be doing it anyway . Also did you follow any Qigong systems over the years? Same answer ... I never did anything CALLED Qigong ... but sometimes ,when I have shown someone some of the stuff I do , who knows about stuff like that , they have said; 'Thats like Qiqong ."
