Philippine Knife Fighting- eskrima kombatan

[lx1x]

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.

sad part.. i re-joined tae kwon do.. which is worst..

wish i didnt stop when i started when i was 20y.o.. now im paying for it(10+ years of being couch potato, age and no flexibility) ..

balisongs.. i have couple of them are hand made from batangas.. i used to have a double edge that can cut thru coins.. it has dissappeard.. it was wodden hand carved handle..

I'm from batangas and you can actually ask the vendors to cut or stab the knife through a coin before you buy it. I got a bunch of them that I brought back here with me.

I trained with Escrima sticks while I took Kenpo. Loved 'em. That was awhile back and then got into Muay Thai where there also taught the sticks along with knife fighting. Good stuff!

they use rail road tracks, plows, leaf springs. as for the handles, most use carabao horns.

I brought back a Beinte Nueve balisong from Batangas about 10 years ago. It had a Damascus /carbon steel blade , water buffalo handles and a brass frame.It also passed the coin stab test. Darn customs people confiscated it in New York.

My wife is from Batangas too... She said , Ive been spending too much time at the range lately... She might use a Balisong on me or worse, a mosin nagant bayonet.

Is this the balisong that you smuggled in? use the kawali as a shield.
