Escrima - Stick Fighting from the Phillippines
Escrima with Curam de Cara

What is Escrima?
Escrima (also known as Arnis and Kali) is a weapons based martial art which comes from the Philippines. It is the national sport of the Philippines, and has a very long history of combat effectiveness. Only recently has this art become more conspicuous in many countries and enjoyed the popularity of other more traditional Asian arts. Its difference from other martial arts is that the student is taught to train with weapons from the very start, rather than starting on empty hands training (like many martial arts do). This type of training builds manual dexterity in the practitioner and also trains faster conditioned responses to various attacks. Practitioners learn the art of Phillippino stick fighting in a controlled and safe manner under the expert tuition of Jessie Pablo (a native of the Phillippines and a recognised master of Escrima worldwide).
