is there any form of martial arts focusing on only weapons??


Recommended Posts

Arnis/Eskrima/Kali as a whole are weapon based. Empty hands are integrated in at the beginning, but not in a sense of dropping the sticks and doing the same techniques with no weapons. All principles arise from the weapon and come back to the weapon, but they often travel through the realm of empty hands on their way back and forth. With Arnis/Eskrima/Kali you work mainly with weapons and your empty hand skills will be developed more indirectly than directly. For what it's worth I believe that your empty hand skills in the end get just as good as they do from arts where weapons are introduced later. However, I don't believe it works the other way around.

 

Getting back to the original point of weapon only martial arts, lots have been mentioned, but you can also find western fencing, jugo de pao, palo canario, kyudo, tapado, garrote larense, and gatka.

Be Cool.

I read the topic as "is there any form of martial arts focusing on only weapons??" but I now see that the post replaces "only" with "mainly", this is the reason I stated that the FMA's DO in fact have EH.

I'm just a newbie training for 1+ year but I thought all martial arts teach weapons:

The Attached kind (hand sword, hammer fist, finger spear, etc...)

or

The Not Attached kind (kamas, baston, bo staff, etc...)

If your referring to the Not Attached types, they are only EXTENSIONS of your arms, legs, etc...

How can you have an extension without a base???

I like the attached kind, they are mulit-purpose and I can board a plane with them :lol:

Just my opinion, everyone has one right? :uhoh:

Kenpo Training may not be a Lifetime Journey, but it's Definitely the Journey of a Lifetime!!

Defensive Pistol and Carbine arts work as well.
