Canard:
No offense taken.
But speaking seriously, I have never seen this training before. It is not clear from the clip posted whether it is meant to have a martial attribute, or is a cultural add-on to the art.
While many systems have some circling and even spinning training, the idea of dervish dancing as a builder of useful martial attributes is, IMHO, extremely peripheral, if not totally outre.
As for trying it out - fair comment! But as it is, I don't have enough time daily to work on the things I know I HAVE TO work on, so as for adding a new practice to my regimen...thanks, but no thanks.
However, I am open to listening to the experiences of anyone else who does it as shown and can verifty its benefits (Derek/ Somatai, are you out there?). Hence my participation in this thread, and more generally, this forum.
