Philippine Knife Fighting- eskrima kombatan

SCARCQB · Aug 7, 2010

Philippine Knife fighting techniques have been used in Cinema for years

Just imagine that the Sticks represent Bolo blades ( short machetes) and for safety and to get around prohibitions, the Arnis or fighting sticks were developed.

If you encounter a Filipino knife fighter on the street.....run or shoot b/c you're about to get filleted.

Maryland Thai Boxing in Columbia teaches Kali-Silat if you're interested. Great bunch of guys.

The use of the balisong, Kali or balintawak style of knife fighting was learned as a right of passage from the streets. It was a must have survival skill that was required to live in the slums of Manila.

I'm pretty much interested in learning this kind of combat skill. FPS might be inclined to teach. ( I forgot, he upgraded to a Glock...lol)

I have great respect for Arnis, Escrima, and the other schools of thought on Philipino knife fighting. It must be lethal stuff if it sent the conquistadors back to ships looking for more guns.

If FPS is up to giving pointers, I'd be a most observant student.

my dad gave me a hand made balisong, my favorite in my collection. all my others are cheap chinese made ones.

I used to train with Eskrima sticks.

FUNNNNNNNNNNNNN stuff.

Seriously, wicked wicked cool things.

A Flip buddy taught me, he was insanely good with them.

I ran into across some dudes in the course of my travels that trained in stick fighting. I played with them for a bit, nice technique and cultural exchange. They would tell me, "you got your chi and your joint locks and all those fancy strikes, we got L.L."

I said, "What's L.L?"

"Live Longer"

Good times.

how easy one can get killed in a blink of an eye.. :lol

SCARCQB · Aug 8, 2010

I want to learn Palit-Palit ( Multiple enemies) and the Empty hand technique. This fighting method seems to be suited for our times. It is Dirty and uses whatever means to stop the opponent. The only winning score is " surviving the encounter". One of my biggest fears is facing a knife. That is up there with big hairy spiders and Water Snakes. But watching escrima/ kali fights , even in the movies is cool.

the older brother is a second degree (probably higher now) has thought me few moves way back then.. the problem being.. you have to be coordinated to do this stuff.. which im lacking in that department.

You and me both. That's why I went with Krav Maga....it suited my learning style much better than more technical disciplines like this.

My wife and I trained with Escrima sticks once. Years ago we used to train in Aikido at a dojo in Parkville owned by a Chiropractor she used to work with. He also taught Pentjak Silat and we took a Silat seminar that he taught. The sticks were awesome to train with.
