- I know sinawali as a particular technique in arnis. It means "weave" and
- consists of moving the sticks in a crossing figure eight pattern.

- I'm by no means an expert but since I've always believed "sinawali" to have
- been a filipino word I'd like to know if anybody else has heard it used in
- the context of another MA form.
