1.
Scratching
There
are different materials used as scratch for light and heavy work outs. Banana
leaves can be used for light scratching and corn husks for heavy scratching.
Make sure that your fighting stags are hungry during scratching at the scratch
box so you will get better results.
2.
Light and Sound (Noise )
Make
the fighting stags familiar with the lights by doing walking routine around the
spar pit (rueda) and playing loud sounds on the radio to make them familiar
with the noise during fight day or derby day.
3.
Tailing ( kahig) and Breaking ( Salida)
Warm up your fighting stags by tailing (kahig) and
walking, so that they will develop natural strength and improve their stamina
by breaking ( salida). Hold tail of fighting stags and make them fly and hit
each other by breaking on the air and down the ground. This helps develop their
reflexes and good fighting skills.
4. Sparring (salpok)
Spar the fighting stags to roosters with different
fighting styles and different colors like white , grey, black etc. in order for
the fighting stag to be familiar with different color of feathers and for them
to adopt versatile fighting styles. Sparring will help them learn and develop
various fighting techniques and make them clever fighters.
5. Catch Cock
Using our own made catch cock ( made with jute
sack, foam and used clothes ), we practice the stags to strike on air and on
the ground before feeding in the morning and in the afternoon. By doing this,
it will help your fighting stags develop endurance and stamina and they will
learn to strike with their legs frontally, sideways and back as well as cutting
across etc.
6. Rotation ( Tee-Pee , Flying Pen and Grass Pen)
