## Every so often, a student or a client will ask me for solo training tips. I often advise them to try solo sinawali training, focusing on the angles of attack.

As I demonstrate in the video below, the key to solo sinawali training is paying
attention to the angles of attack. In addition, executing the sinawali patterns 
slowly is also critical.

Solo sinawali training is highly beneficial for martial artists seeking to clean
up their sinawali patterns. Practitioners can enhance their skill level by focusing
on the angles of attack. Executing sinawali patterns slowly allows learners to build
muscle memory and gradually improve their form. Be sure to start with standard or
light sticks. Once your arms are conditioned, you can move to heavier sticks for
solo training.

I cannot emphasize enough the proper way to execute any sinawali pattern. It starts
with considering the angles of attack as part of sinawali. Otherwise, you will descend
into sloppiness. A good example is the windshield wipers version of single sinawali.
Seeing training partners miss each other’s sticks drives me bananas!
