Hi guys. Please excuse my ignorance. I was reading a thread where kenpotex asked the question about the difference between Arnis, Kali, and Escrima. The site that was suggested stated that they where basically the same thing, that the name indicated what area the style came from and that Kali is pretty much an unknown word in the philipines.
I don't know mush about these styles. Please correct me if I am wrong. I have had it explianed to me a little bit differently and have also read it this way in different in text. Escrima was used as a training tool and weapon with-in Kali Arnis was developed as a stick fighting art. Could someone shed a little light. Dieter Brown Belt Founding Member. Journey said:. Click to expand Thanks, That makes alot more sence. I know a few people at work from the PI. They have only been in the U.
So I asked them what they knew about Kali, they looked at me very confused. When I asked about stick fighting. The terms Arnis a Eskrima came up. One has an uncle who trains in the PI. Other than that they didn't know much about it. So then, In Eskrima, Arnis, Kali, was a blade, similar to a machette' intended be used in place of a stick during the development of the styles. Or was it always intended to be a stick art. I understand just a little about Arnis.
But it seems to be less every day. I had a Kenpo instructor many moon's ago who taught some of the bascis. I was wondering how the techniques would apply using an edged weapon of a similar lenth. Some are obvious.
Others have me guessing. Any insight would be helpful. There are numerous similarities than di erences. These three also all instruct edged weapons defence, stick ghting and double stick ghting, empty hand self-defence and dagger techniques.

Regardless of the name you use to describe FMA, one thing is for certain, it is a beautiful art to watch, exciting to learn, and its applications for self-defence are practical and among the best in the world of martial arts. As we have learned earlier, Kali, Arnis, and escrima are just various terms to refer to the same system.
Quite frequently, empty hand concepts and drills are based on weapon movements. Almost all Filipino stick ghting drills focus on weapons training on the rst day of class. The majority of weapons training transfer well to daily objects like pens, tote umbrellas, rolled up magazines and newspapers and is limited by your imagination.
First, a few systems are primarily based on stick work. Other systems emphasize more on swords. As a sword system example, below is Master Tony Diego from Kalis Illustrisimo training a fellow practitioner at a park.
Blade-based systems, like the Sayoc Kali Fight, are e ective as well. Despite whether they teach knife, sword, or stick, a lot of instructors teach many empty hand styles and methods based on weapon movements. Therefore, one of the primary advantages of Filipino stick ghting training is training in both empty hands and weapons concurrently. Want to move like Bruce Lee or Jason Bourne? They all underwent kali stick drills training in Filipino Martial Arts.
They truly did! The concept of testing and assessing your skills with the defense is immensely appealing for loads of Eskrimadors. Hollywood has obviously attuned to the excitement and thrill of combat scenes.

Trainees start with weapons training and may well go on to apply the same techniques with empty hand fighting, that can include kicks, punching, throwing and grappling.
Generally the trainee will train with wooden sticks and a wooden knife that are seen as extensions of the arms to practise a series of moves, with focus on moving each arm independently of each other. Further aspects of the training include, controlling the range with triangular footwork patterns, learning how to defend yourself from angled attacks and practising set drills of flowing defence and counter attacks. The drills will teach the practitioner hand-eye co-ordination, body position, target perception, rhythm, fluidity, timing and muscle memory.
