Black Belt Magazine hall of Famer Burton Richardson is well known in the martial arts world for his emphasis on teaching hard-core, pressure tested, functional fighting methods. So it may come as a surprise to many that Richardson spends time each week practicing the graceful, fluid, dance styles of Southeast Asia, often referred to as Silat Dance. It is not so surprising once you understand the combat applications that are hidden within the dance.

Silat Dance is a particular style of movement which blossomed across South-East Asia in the 7th century AD and remains a resplendent cultural treasure to this day. When you see it, you know it. Its fluidity, grace, and beauty are a sight to behold. But these are not just dances. Hidden within the motions are extremely effective and devastating martial arts applications.

Few martial artists know that Richardson learned Southeast Asian dances before he ever trained in the martial arts. Born and raised in the ethically diverse Carson, California, Burton, along with his fellow elementary school students, learned Filipino, and Samoan dances along with American cultural dances. When he was older, he learned and performed Filipino dances with local Filipino dance troops, including UCLA’s fabulous Samahang Pilipino organization.

As he progressed in his martial arts training, especially in the Filipino, Indonesian, Malaysian, and Thai martial arts, he became more fascinated with the dance since it was an important part of the the Southeast Asian combative arts. It was fascinating to Richardson that the Filipinos hid their martial art, which had been outlawed by the conquering Spanish forces, within the cultural dances so they could practice in the open.

After many decades studying, enjoying, and teaching the South-East Asian Dance, Burton decided to create this program so others could enjoy their many benefits. It’s interesting to note that many people know of the health benefits of Tai Chi, but the Southeast Asian martial arts offer the same benefits in an arguably more interesting package. A big plus is that the combative applications are still known and practiced.

Teaching seminars worldwide, Burton noticed that many times the most hard-core fighters would come up to him after a session and tell him that they particularly appreciated when he taught a few minutes of the dance and then showed the hidden application of it.

In this program, Burton teaches a beautiful, varied dance that is a combination of elements from various Southeast Asian arts that he has studied. From Northern Thailand to the southern Philippines and everywhere in between, Burton shares the dance movements step-by-step, and also demonstrates the combative application of each movement. Knowing the application gives you a concrete idea of how the move functions and therefore how it is supposed to look. As the Southeast Asian martial arts saying goes, if you know the roots, you can better understand and appreciate the blossoming flowers.

If you want to enjoy a low impact, stress reducing martial arts exercise that is fun and mentally stimulating, give Silat Dance try. You don’t have to be older to enjoy these dances, but it is especially helpful for those who have been on this earth a little longer. It’s a great way to put yourself in the moment and focus on the here and now while you improve your body movements and martial skills.

BURTON RICHARDSON'S EXPERTISE

Burton Richardson is known for his pressure-tested approach to functional self-defense to BJJ, MMA, and weaponry arts. An original Dog Brother (Lucky Dog) and Full Instructor under Guro Dan Inosanto, and a Kali Ilustrisimo instructor directly under the great Tatang Ilustrisimo, Burton travels the world teaching people the details and training methods that make the art highly functional in the real combat. But did you know that Burton was also a Karenza (forms) champion? Way back in 1991, Burton took first place in one of the largest FMA championships in the country: the Eskrima Coalition Championship in Stockton, California. His ability to move the sticks and his body fluidly and with purpose also got him into the movie industry where he did fight choreography for 12 feature films. Burton has garnered all his expertise to put together this easy to follow program that will take you from beginner to expert in a fun, engaging progression.

WHO IS THIS PROGRAM FOR?

Anyone who wants to move and feel better now and for years to come from complete beginners to advanced practitioners.

How would being able to move the sticks with phenomenal flow help you? Guro Dan Inosanto says that his instructors touted the “almost magical” qualities of sinawali (double stick) training. Practitioners in their 70’s, 80’s, and even 90’s regularly retain an uncommon degree of mobility. It is a very low impact exercise with an element of resistance training. The motions gently encourage full body motion that leads to greater mobility and balance. Whether you are a young combat athlete or part of our older population, sinawali training can help you stay fit and limber longer.

I AM AN ATHLETE, WHY DO I NEED THIS PROGRAM?

For athletes, coordination carries over to almost all sports, especially because footwork is included with the double stick upper body motions. Do you want to fight better? You need to be smooth, accurate, and have the ability to move wherever you need to in a split second. Properly performed sinawali drills develop these abilities. That’s why many of the best stick fighters have outstanding Karenza. Do you want to have a fun and interesting way to keep your body loose and agile as you age? Knowing a variety of solo sinawali drills will maintain your range of motion and keep your muscles and neural connections firing.

I ALREADY TEACH, WHY DO I NEED THIS PROGRAM?

Teachers who need to demonstrate the art in order to get others interested. A good karenza is always impressive and gives insight to the depths of the Filipino Martial Arts. This program allows you to have a step by step blueprint to sharpen your own skills and teach your students.

I WORK IN THE MOVIE INDUSTRY, WHY DO I NEED THIS PROGRAM?

Every time I have trained a movie star (Keanu Reeves, Brandon Lee, etc.), I start them with sinawali drills to enhance their ability to move in a relaxed yet powerful manner. This really comes across on the big screen, and has proven invaluable to many actors and stunt performers.

Regardless of whether you want to be able to move the weapons with speed, power, and precision for demonstrations, film work, to enhance your fighting ability, or for the all-important health and longevity benefits, this program will work for you.

The program is broken down into three sections.

First quality movement and a progressive 12-Part Sinawali warm-up that introduces various types of hand and body movement. The set will ingrain many of the most important movements, the ABCs of double stick motion, along with several footwork patterns.
A wide variety of drills are introduced in the second section.
The third section introduces exercises that get progressively more demanding. It’s a fun workout that works your mind and body at the same time.

Learning to move the double sticks well will enhance many attributes that are essential for high level martial arts and better everyday living. Hone your footwork and accuracy while developing combat attributes such as speed, power, and coordination,, grace, fluidity, body mechanics, and flow. And it will help you to, as Burton often says, Enjoy Your Training!

Why train solo?
Stick fighting is an athletic endeavor and enhancing your athletic qualities can greatly improve your performance. You will achieve that by spending time doing solo training on equipment. Just like professional boxers, kickboxers, and MMA fighters.

What attributes can the Solo Single Stick program help develop?
By following this program you will develop quickness, explosiveness, accuracy, stamina, precision of movement, and coordination, just to name a few. Regardless of age, skill level, or physical condition, these attributes can be greatly enhanced through properly training on equipment. Key word: PROPERLY.
If you train on equipment incorrectly, as many unwittingly do, you will actually develop bad habits which diminish your weaponry ability, especially when under pressure in a real fight. You need to ingrain great habits, and our Solo Single Stick Program will help you do just that. And it is great fun.

I've been training on my own already why do I need this program?
The number of techniques in the weaponry arts are virtually unlimited. But the time you have to practice these arts, especially with a partner, is certainly limited. To improve at the greatest rate, you need the most effective, efficient solo training methods possible. And this program offers just that.
Black Belt Magazine Hall of Famer and Original Dog Brother Burton “Lucky Dog” Richardson has created this easy to follow program to help you maximize your fighting skills, from striking to footwork to combinations and flow when training alone.

What's in the Solo Single Stick Program?
Burton doesn’t just show various combinations. He starts with the strategies needed to prevail in a real stick fight and then gives methods to practice those without a partner. He introduces the “Triple E Fighting Protocol” which should be employed every time you practice on equipment, whether with weapons or empty handed.
Burton also provides a unique numbering system for this program, followed by precise details on how to deliver the various types of strikes in the most mechanically efficient way possible.
After the precise foundation is set, Burton teaches the 2-count combination matrix, followed by a 3-count matrix that encourages creativity. He then presents 15, 4-count combinations designed specifically to enhance your speed, accuracy, targeting, power, mobility, and flow.
Burton ends by teaching how to put all of the methods into your workouts so that you can free flow in a manner that mimics high level functional stick fighting.
