A Filipino Martial Arts class practicing a set of quick jabs and kicks, with padding of course. The reason for going through a set amount of preordained actions is to train the body to get used to these moves since, more often than not, you are not going to be using such actions on an everyday basis. Your mind and body becomes conditioned to the movements and soon become fluid and familiar. This can be applied to sparring within the classroom environment and then to any real life situations that may arise. 2012-2013.
