Fubo: thank you for your kind words. The thing is that is is not "either/or", but "this and that".
From our PHK instructor's manual:
Paired Exercises (Deui Lin): Application Drills (Saan Sau), Sparring Sequences (Wui Hap), Sparring Drills and Sparring/Free Fighting (Saan Da).
PHK focuses on development of the combat skills from two different but same perspectives:
- PHK Combatives (Jin Dau), represented by PHK core combative program “Eighteen Application Drills”, application drills from the sets, and specialised curricula (ground fighting, knife defense, multiple opponents, third party protection… )...
- PHK Free Fighting (Saan Da). Both approaches have their pros/contras, so make sure you are aware of them. We don’t want to turn PHK into purely self-defense/self-protection system, or into a full contact combat sport either, although we use the training methodology of both.
