Why Schools Are Asking for Confidence and Leadership Programs — Not Just Anti-Bullying Programs | Stricklands Martial Arts The real solution is building stronger, more confident kids
Sword and dagger sumbrada is a continuous, fluid partner drill in Filipino Martial Arts that combines the ongoing counter-attack flow of Sumbrada with the dual-weapon coordination of Espada y Daga.
The word “sumbrada” means to shade or cover. Partners trade moves in a loop without stopping.
Beginners focus on smooth transitions, correct body angles, and exact spacing rather than speed.

Training with a martial arts master like Maul Mornie matters because these masters of their art teach precise body mechanics, fundamental efficiency, and deep tactical awareness that go beyond basic physical strength.

Walk with confidence, keep your head up, and avoid distractions like looking down at your phone in parking lots.
Use a loud, firm verbal boundary like “Back off!” or “Stop!” to deter an aggressor before physical contact happens.
If attacked, strike high-value targets quickly—such as the eyes, nose, throat, or groin—then immediately run to safety.
A “predator suit” used by our instructors in DAAB ( Defense Against Aggressive Behavior) self defense training allows women to practice full-force, realistic kicks and strikes against a simulated attacker without hurting themselves or the instructor.
DAAB - Defense Against Aggressive Behavior. Fighting an instructor in a heavy suit can help women manage adrenaline, break the freeze response, and find their voice. They get to kick, knee and strike the padded suit with 100% real power to build muscle memory and confidence in their ability to fight back.
