EC: SG3 Beginner Form

Welcome to the Escrima Concepts Beginner Form.

The form aims to help you demonstrate the ideas you’ve learned from training the Beginner Grades, as well as giving you a good starting point when training on your own.

For grading you only need to be able to perform it with your dominant hand, however once you feel comfortable with this then it is advisable to start practicing with your weaker hand to help build it up.

Youth Syllabus

For Youths this form is graded at Grade 4, to mark the end of the Beginner Syllabus. You will need to do it solo and against a partner, both armed (single stick) and unarmed. When you return to it at higher grades you will be expected to do it with other weapons from the syllabus to show your understanding of transition between the weapons.

Adult Syllabus

For Adults this form is graded at the end of Student Grade 3, to mark the end of the Beginner Syllabus. The form is mainly trained solo, but is also to be practiced with an attacking partner who feeds the appropriate impulses to help you understand it and also prepare for later grades.
