Filipino Dirty Boxing Panantukan
Filipino Dirty boxing or Panantukan is the art of hitting your opponent while unbalancing him and or unbalancing him while hitting him it comes from the Filipino word Suntokan meaning brawling (hitting) , it employs knees, elbows, Head butts ,low kicks, treading on the feet, stamping on the legs, hitting with the shoulder, crook of the arm and many more brawling and so called dirty tactics as well as jabs, hooks, crosses and uppercuts, it is a very effective empty hand fighting system. My interpretation is based more on striking as opposed to too much grappling, the reason behind it is I am always aware of being attacked by multiple opponents, so you need to keep moving and not pin or tie yourself up with one opponent as you can easily be attacked by someone else very quickly while dealing with the initial attack. We would employ the walking through the opponent principle as well as using centreline, absorption, deflection, projections, creating voids, circles, spirals etc. Etc.
Panantukan is not based on using strength or unnecessary force, but focuses on using the core principles and correct body mechanics, there are no high kicks or superficial movements to learn. It requires you to use your body core and walk and most people can do that!!!
