Doble Baston or Double Sinawali

This document discusses the training of double weapons known as Doble Baston. It involves using two weapons of equal length, such as two sticks, swords, or knives, to develop ambidexterity and coordination between both limbs. Some benefits of double weapon training include having a more continuous fighting style using both hands for strikes and blocks. It also allows switching between hands if one gets tired. A misconception is that double weapons are not practical, but the training strengthens both the dominant and non-dominant hands to complement each other.

Some common reasons why training with
double weapons are advantageous:

more flowing and continuous as both hands
are use for strike, blocks and counters

hand able to do what the stronger
hand can do, then this becomes
more of an advantage.
• B. Dexterity vs Complementing
• Why not just train your weaker hand to complement the stronger hand? Even
though, double weapon objective is to develop dexterity, it also aids in
developing the weaker hand to complement the stronger hand as it gives the
practitioner the awareness and forcing the weaker hand to move and move
thereby strengthening it.
