Filipino Dumog Training Concepts

Dumog Tactics of Defense

1. The first principle is not to waste strength wrestling with an opponent. If he already has you at a disadvantage. Instead look for a way to strike that will cause pain and shock first and then find away to get out of his grip. Using your hands, forearms, knees/head and even your feet. In Kali practitioners seek to avoid getting caught in their opponent's locks by hitting (destructions) first to the extremities and continuing, to strike vital parts of the body. Working towards the head for control. The principle here is to defeat the grappler by damaging him so much he can't grapple. The hitting is used to soften and tranquilize him for escape and counter control.

2. The second principle is to get your balance and maintain it. If you can maneuver the attacker off balance, his advantage will be neutralized. In Dumog the principle of body manipulation is one of the basic requirements to develop. Using arm levels, pushing, pulling, and control of the head. Using Kali's triangle footwork to off balance and maneuver the attacker into throws, sweeps, and takedowns.

3. The third principle is to use your entire body weight in any movement or technique that you may attempt. Don't just use your arm strength alone. Put your hips, legs and upper body behind each movement fully. Finally remember that the attacker is always vulnerable somewhere. Even if he is behind you, or on top of you. If he is physically taller to bigger. He is still vulnerable, to the right attack to the right target be calm and assess the situation and you will find a solution being caught in a headlock or a choke can cause some panic. Particularly if you have practiced a couple of techniques that will work to free yourself from the attacker, it is also important to strike effectively before the pressure from the lock or hold causes extreme pain or unconsciousness.

The Application of footwork within close quarters training range:

The study and development of your footwork is just an adjustment from stick to empty hand. The same principles apply as far as zoning and range concepts of the forward and reverse triangle patterns are concerned. But with one added factor the stepping and placement of the feet, within the footwork sectors.

The footwork sectors are developed by the numbering of the positions of the foot according to the opponents lead leg position. Example: This position's are used in many Silat/Filipino systems

In this training you begin by stepping with you right foot to #1 next place the right heel of your foot on top of the left foot, now slide your toe down to #3 and place it next to the foot. Do the same for the right foot with your right foot. Next using your left footstep to 1. and then move the heel of your left foot to the top of the opponent's Lt. foot and let it slide down to #3 and place it on the ground. Next you will use a crossing step and your left foot will go to 4-5-6 and your right will begin at 1-2-3 or the right will go to 4-5-6 and the left to 1-2-3. This footwork is used mostly in the ankle break concepts of Kuntao.

The building of any system of self defense, must start with effective footwork. You could have the best hands, locks, and kicks in the business but if you don't have any method developed to get you inside to use them. A lot of times you end up getting tagged, just sitting there waiting to move. Your footwork, must develop a method of moving you away, from danger and into/ or away from the opponent to take them out.
