Escrima Stick frustraton

I am really struggling with these sticks ... yes I have watched alot of utube videos and learned some patterns and a few flashy moves but I am not really feeling it, if you know what I mean.  The footwork seems awkward and I am having a hard time getting the movement of the sticks to come from my core/centre/balance and not just the arm movements.  Not sure if that explains it but it does not feel good and flowing like my Kung Fu forms at all.  This is really an issue for me so I have been bending my brain to try and figure out how to get it resolved.  I am going to try incorporating the foot, body orientation of some of my Kung Fu forms with patterns for the double stick that I have learned.  Not sure how this will go but I've actually had dreams about this and Da Mu Sing, Se Chen and Kempo 1 are going to the first ones I try.  I will let you know how it goes.
