    ARNIS STRIKES

    Forehand Strikes

    If you hold a stick in your right hand, forehand strikes are delivered to
    the left side of your opponent's body when he is facing you. Angles
    one, three and nine are forehand strikes. On the angle one, your target
    is the opponent's head or collar bone. An angle-three strike hits his ribs
    or left arm. The angle-nine strike goes to your opponent's left leg. The
    knee is a prime target for this attack. When practicing these angles
    against an imaginary opponent, you can swing the stick through the
    target or retract the stick after hitting.

    Backhand Strikes

    The backhand strikes hit your opponent on the right side of his body.
    Angles two, four and eight are backhand strikes. To perform these
    attacks, bring your right arm across the front of your body prior to
    striking. The target of the angle-two strike is the opponent's head or
    collarbone. The angle-four attack targets his right arm or his ribs. The
    right leg is the target of the angle-eight strike. You can practice
    forehand and backhand strikes by hitting a training partner's stick.
    Both you and your training partner can simultaneously perform the
    same angles of attack.

    Thrusts

    Perform thrusts by driving the top of the stick straight at your


    opponent. Angles five, six, seven, 10 and 11 are thrusts. The target of
    the angle-five thrust is the solar plexus. The angle-six thrust is directed
    at the left side of your opponent's chest. To perform the angle seven,
    bring your right arm across the front of your body and thrust at the
    right side of his chest. Thrust the angle-10 strike at the opponent's left
    eye. The angle 11 is similar to angle seven, but the target is the right
    eye.

    Downward Strike

    The angle-12 strike is a downward hit. The target of this attack is the
    top of the opponent's head. Forcefully strike downward like you are

    cutting through the center of your opponent's body. As you become


    more proficient with the various modern arnis strikes, you should be
    able to flow through the 12 angles of attack.
