Baston Techniques
The FMA Informative was fortunate in being able to meet and talk with Grandmaster Jay Saceda Jumawan. This
is a practitioner that is very pleasant, reserved, quiet, and lets his actions speak for him.
Once Grandmaster Jumawan commences to demonstrate his art he is one of the most energetic individuals that the FMA Informative has witnessed. His movements are like poetry in motion, smooth, rhythmic, flowing, and demonstrating an energy that has no limits with a demonstration of strength and power that seems to be
a natural part of him. Grandmaster Jumawan is a most impressive individual.
Grandmaster Jumawan is a very busy man, in that he is constantly demonstrating his abilities teaching,
promoting his program called S.M.A.R.T. Arnis Sports Program, a summer sports program in Makati City, Philippines. (Mayor Jun-Jun Binay Jr. who started the program 11 years ago for the under privilege children of the
area, this year (2013) appointed Grandmaster Jumawan to head up the program for Arnis and Tae Kwon Do).
Grandmaster Jumawan has been so active and busy that it was impossible for the FMA Informative to
get him to write captions for the techniques in this issue. However if the reader looks it is for sure that you can
see the technique and understand the movements demonstrated by Grandmaster Jumawan.

LSAI stands for Lightning Scientific Arnis International. It is an
organization promoting and preserving the style of arnis/kali, which
was developed and refined by Grandmaster Benjamin Luna Lema. It
is a complete system of martial arts, which stresses both speed and
poser. The system encompasses solo baston, doble baston, espada y
daga, and empty hands.

The concept behind Jumawan Arnis Step is defending
if attacked using one block - one
strike. So it is the fundamentals
that when the attacker strikes,
simultaneously the student blocks
diverting the energy of the attackers strike and a strike is delivered.
In training with Grandmaster Jumawan a student learns
Mano-Mano (empty hand) and
Arnis with bladed weapons. Physical fitness is also a key in the art,
stretching and flexibility in movements for drills such as dos manos
and knife. Also developing power,
which when flexibility and power
are combined with speed and accuracy it makes for a dominating
practitioner. Of course heart is a
Characteristics of Lapunti Arnis de Abanico
Lapunti is characterised first of all by the fast “fan” like moves
or “abanico” moves of its primary teaching tool, the stick. Other
aspects similar to other styles of Arnis/Escrima are also given equal
importance. The dagger, stick and dagger, double stick and Combatto unarmed fighting are taught as well.
The footwork is a combination of classical Arnis/Escrima
forward-backward movements, a triangle system of offence and
defence and the cross-legged and twisting style learnt from Kung
Fu.
The main emphasis in Lapunti is on long range but with the
combination of the tight footwork the fighter has excellent mobility and with the speed of the strikes the encounter can be at close
range as well. The style is based on body dynamics, not strength, in
combination with the footwork.
Basic System of instruction:
The fundamentals are 12 basic Lapunti strikes. The 12 counterstrikes. Attack and retreat. Basic defence and disarming and multiple strikes.
very important factor, for without
heart truly the determination of the
coordination of mind and body is
not accomplished.
