Filipino Windmill Training Drill by W. Hock Hochheim
Watch this 57 minute film for free. When on a training trip in the Philippines back in the early 90s, Ernesto Presas decided to show our small group something he called the (translated) the Filipino Windmill. I never learned how to spell, how he pronounced it in Tagalog. It sounded something Something like that, but that doesnt perfectly translate to what he said it was in English The Windmill. He said it was very important, a fundamental windmilllikemovement, a circular movement, from which many other drill patterns move in and interrupt. The circles patterns move down, up and sideways, all with mandatory, classic 1, 2 beat inserts. I collected the info and thought it was important, versatile and challenging. In all my years with Ernesto, we never did it again, other than that one 56 hour session in Manila. I have tried to reproduce the lesson in this film with evolutions. You might find it useful. Hock
