  • Túdlò (Teaching)

    Explanation of the Bernas Estocadas System including selected drills or components of the following: Abesedario, Pang-áway, Dógsing, Hánas, and Karánza.

  • Missing (Prestructural)

    • Explanation misses key technical and tactical components.

  • Emerging (Uni-structural)

    • Explanation focuses on a single technical or tactical component; or drills understood from a singular perspective only.

  • Developing (Multi-structural)

    • Explanation focuses on a multiple technical and tactical components in random fashion, and fails to tie them together in a meaningful way.

  • Maturing (Relational)

    • Explanation focuses on a multiple technical and tactical components in an organised fashion; making clear how the elements emphasised work together, within the context of the overall goal to be achieved.

  • Refining (Transformational)

    • Explanation focuses on a multiple technical and tactical components in an organised fashion; making clear how the elements emphasised work together; and how the same technique can be adapted for different circumstances; adaptive applications noted within the context of the overall goal to be achieved.

  • Mústra (Demonstrating)

    Demonstration of the Bernas Estocadas System including selected drills or components of the following: Abesedario, Pang-áway, Dógsing, Hánas, and Karánza.

  • Missing (Pre-structural Form)

    • Does not yet have an understanding of the specifics of the system.

  • Emerging (Uni-structural Form)

    • One main key technical element present (ie. striking angle); adherence to a core principle (ie. body and weapon move together in attack).

  • Developing (Multi-structural Form)

    • Several key technical elements present; adherence to many core principles.

  • Maturing (Relational Form)

    • All key elements are present; unified application of art’s core principles.

  • Refining (Transformational Form)

    • Principle-driven performance of technique, even with unfamiliar tasks or challenges; unified application of art’s core principles for maximum effectiveness, even when improvising at high speed.

  • Missing (Pre-structural Flow)

    • Hesitant and lacks fluidity.

  • Emerging (Uni-structural Flow)

    • Flow within techniques, but awkward or hesitant transitions with stops or pauses.

  • Developing (Multi-structural Flow)

    • Mostly continuous motion, occasional stops or pauses.

  • Maturing (Relational Flow)

    • Fluid movement within and between techniques.

  • Refining (Transformational Flow)

    • Effortless, seamless, fluid, and graceful movement within and between techniques, even when improvising at high speed.

  • Missing (Pre-structural Focus)

    • Unfocused, and lacks technique, intensity, power, and speed.

  • Emerging (Uni-structural Focus)

    • Attention locks into only one element; purpose not always clear, and intensity inconsistent.

  • Developing (Multi-structural Focus)

    • Attention jumps from one element to another; a sense of purpose but intensity inconsistent.

  • Maturing (Relational Focus)

    • Purposeful movement and intensity throughout.

  • Refining (Transformational Focus)

    • Unwavering focus with intuitive, purposeful movement and intensity throughout; with rhythmic, distance, and energetic changes that reflect a vividly imagined opponent.
