A Race to the Top!
Rope climbing is a favorite fitness and competition activity.
Members vie with each other in the number of times they can climb the rope in a single session.
Each succesful climb is made known by ringing the bell at the top.
Below: It's different strokes for different folks.

Wild Man Style Batman Style? Brake and Squat method

Each training session always ends with free-sparring among members and students. The match-ups may be voluntary or nominated.
The partners may specify the type of sparring engagement unless a specific agenda has been established for the day or the match.
Sparring may be single stick, double stick, knife (Tulisan), knife and dagger, boxing, kick boxing (Sagasa), throwing and/or grappling (Hagibis) or unarmed combat - "juego todo"/BAKBAKAN (free-for-all/anything goes).
