i know that all jkd school except maybe the sbg places teach either chi sao or hubud...but i never heard of hubud...wth is it? what's it like?

[Gong||Jau]

I don't know what the movements are because I've never done it, but it's a sensitivity drill that FMAs do, and supposedly it's somewhat similar to Chi Sao.

Flow drill from FMA.

I asked a similar question when I first started at the forum. Check it out. From reading other peoples responses to my question, I think I'm one of the only people that actually like using it. It's a flow drill that I use all the time. You can strike from it, you can apply joint locks, you can flow into other drills.

I just learned Chi Sau in my last class but only for a little bit. I do Hubud in every class though. I can't wait until I do Chi Sau in every class.

Yes the drill is known to practitioners of Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) as Hubud Hubud; their are numberous parts to it. It should be practiced against strikes coming from various angles, with empty hands, sticks, or training knives and on both sides. Hubud (meaning to tie) and Lubud (meaning to untie) are nothing more than a predetermined pattern of movement, the purpose of which is to learn positioning, angles, and tactile sensitivity. Drills are also great for increasing hand speed and learning spontaneous reaction. We don't fight with a drill but we may use a little piece of a drill in a fight, or a concept from a drill in a fight. This drill sequence is sometimes called Hubud along with others similiar to it. The focus of this particular drill is inside line checking followed by high line passing. It goes back and forth from the one who "feeds" or initiates the drill to the one who receives.
