    “Sayoc is a living art, it is constantly evolving.”
    Tuhon Tom Kier

    There are 3 Phases to the Sayoc Fighting System (SFS)

    Phase 1
    Understanding the structure of Sayoc Kali
    The History of the Sayoc family
    Where the material originated and how it developed. At what stages did the material develop
    Understanding Sayoc Terminology
    Understanding the Philosophy of Sayoc Kali
    The Feeder Mindset
    Aggressiveness
    Offensive control
    Problem Solving
    Recognize, Analyze, Synthesize
    Evolution of a Sayoc student will be: Student, Teacher, Observer

    Within Phase 1 it is vital that the Sayoc student learn and follow many of the skill development areas to ensure the future quality of the art. One of the most important are the Sayoc Teaching methodologies.

    Sayoc teaching methodologies are based on the 4 responses of the feeder. They are:
    Reactive – This is when the body reacts to some type of trauma
    Reflexive – This is the brains response to a stimulus
    Conditional – The bodies response because of training
    Correct – This is a synthesis of the best responses that have been trained into reflexive responses. These responses come from the training/teaching methodology

    Phase 1 level training is to take place at a 1-for-1 pace. For each movement by the receiver there is a correct feeder response to defeat it. Training speeds should vary from super slow (Tai Chi) to teaching speed (each movement performed only as fast as you can teach it) to demo speed (where a nice flow is established) to full speed (performed under control).

    The teaching methodologies are as follows:
    Accessing the subconscious – ALL training needs to absorb into the subconscious
    Inducing stress and fatigue = The Alpha Wave state
    Memory reversal = backwards motions like a film going backwards
    Isolation of the Right and Left sides of the brain
    Increasing Awareness
    Sensory deprivation drills
    Concentration drills
    Scenario training
    Triangle teaching = learning through doing
    Correct response training
    Feeder controls flow in free flow

    The order in which Phase 1 drills and techniques are taught:

    Projectiles
    The first method taught to children. Why? They are not yet capable of closing on an opponent.
    Whip
    Helps with the proper body mechanics of throwing
    Close quarter blade work
    Grips
    Passing drills
    Vital Templates
    Taught with full and ½ beats, non-linear strikes
    Transition drills
    Receiver tapping
    Free flow
    Training modifiers
    Vary training speeds
    Intensity of the feeder
    Situational
    Panuntukan
    Medical management

    Phase 2
    Transition of the receiver to the feeder
    Silak
    Stop blocks

    Phase 3
    Grappling
    Multiple Targets
    Groups against Groups

    The layout of the Sayoc Fighting Systems is a mirror image of an individual conflict covering all ranges.

    This puts a lot of our training into perspective. Thanks Guro Matt for writing this article.
