filipino martial arts is my style (doece pares: inlcudes, pangamot, dumog, eskrido, eskrima, arnis, sikaram) Pros: you become effective quickly. 50% weapon training, 50% empty hand, involves all ranges of fighting, long medium close ground and transitions between them which is very improtant. hard/soft style. weapons fighting directly influences empty hand, based on quick entrances cons: overwhelming at first. not a popular style (hard to find). not enough focus on fighting on the ground. Does not focus on the internal aspect very much. Not very much long range fighting, most counters or entrances. Once again the biggest weakness in he style is that it is that ou need to be self motivated. Self training is one of the msot improtant aspects of the style
