The Philosophy of Sikaran: A Journey Towards Mastery: From Basic Principles to Advanced Techniques (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798300436438)

Learn the ancient Filipino martial art of Sikaran and immerse yourself in its vibrant culture, which values speed, strength, and accuracy. With its origins in centuries-old Filipino rice field techniques, Sikaran has developed into a highly developed and esteemed style of fighting that is highly regarded for its cultural significance and its usefulness as a means of self-defense.

"Sikaran" comes from the Filipino term "sikad," which means "to kick," and it was first used by the rural populations of the Tagalog region. Sikaran was first developed by farmers as a form of self-defense and leisure. The methods were refined by daily practice and the necessity of protection. This martial art thrived because it provided its practitioners with a means to be physically active, cultivate self-control, and foster strong bonds of friendship.
Learning about Sikaran's past will bring to light the exploits of its renowned fighters and the significance of the city in the social and cultural development of the Philippines. The story of Sikaran, from its modest origins to its recent comeback, showcases the tenacity and creativity of the Filipino people.

Speed, power, and adaptability are the defining characteristics of Sikaran's unique kicking techniques. The foot strikes in Sikaran are more important than those in other martial arts, particularly the famous "Biakid" (spinning back kick) and the "Panipig" (side kick). These methods can be used for either offense or defense, giving their practitioners a lot of leeway in many kinds of battles.
Physical skill is just one aspect of Sikaran philosophy. Respect, humility, and a commitment to constant development are its guiding ideals. Aikido teaches its practitioners to draw on their inner fortitude, sharpen their minds, and respect and honor others. Sikaran practitioners cultivate a balanced and harmonious outlook on life, both within and outside of the dojo, via stringent training and discipline.
