Gripping Drills

GRIP- proper holds of the stick. Hold the stick one fist away from the punyo (butt) of the stick.
Close the grip with the thumb.

Four (4) Kinds of Gripping:

1. Under Thumb Hold

- is one in which the inside of the thumb is pressed against

the olisi (arnis stick) to balance the pressure or energy
coming from four other fingers to secure the stick slipping

2. Side Thumb Hold

- serves the same purpose. The middle of the thumb

is bent to provide the needed strength to ensure
control of the olisi.
 3.Overlap Hold

- the thumb overlaps index finger, and pressure is created

between the first three fingers and the thumb. This is the
most popular type of gripping. In addition to being easy
adaptable, it offers maximum control of the olisi in all type
of striking angles and direction, and is secure against
slippage even extreme curving strikes, continuous strikes,
and twirling motions.

4.Reverse Hold

- the olisi projects through the lower portion of the

gripping hand, with the forward or top end pointing
toward the ground. Some two inches or more of the
olisi is allowed to extend or project from the bottom of
the gripping hand. This short end of the stick is called
the butt.
