Meguro Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Anyone one out there practice these Filipino martial arts? Don't know much about them myself, but they seem very applicable to contemporary emergency situations. You may find yourself really needing your bo or nunchaku, realizing too late that you don't carry these things around with you all the time. Whereas with Kali training, for example, you might be able to defend yourself with a rolled-up magazine, umbrella, or two nice rattan sticks you happen to keep in your back pocket.

Meguro Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 I thought I would find more references to Arnis in these forums. A search revealed 222 usages of the term. Mostly the posts are buried in other threads. Seems to me that if there are topics like "internal arts" arnis, escrima and kali might deserve their own dedicated section, or maybe just the weapons section will suffice.I'm not a practitioner of knife and stick fighting. At this point, just curious. Thing is, anyone merely curious about karate, need only click the topic and everything you needed to know, and a lot of what you don't are available. I suppose this is a supply and demand issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZR440 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I don't think you'd find much Arnis or Kali within the internal art section anyway. They don't try to find "ki" as much as the other arts do. And there aren't many Filipino practioners on this board because it simply isn't as popular as the other arts, which is fine with me. I don't need to be popular to be effective. It's happy hour somewhere in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orion82698 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 The school I'm looking to attend is very active in it. I have seen there demonstrations with sticks, and applied it to knives as well. Very effective in street defense. Where are you located? I don't have to be the best, just better than you!Working towards 11% BF and a Six pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sengra Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 ZRR40, I'm just curious, your quote "It's happy hour somewhere in the world"... Band of Brothers? Well, Arnis is being taught here in PE classes, it's very much useful in emergency situations...^_^...I'm actually taking it next sem... The stronger swordsman does not always win.

ZR440 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 That's just a generic quotation. Not taken from Band of Brothers, although I think I remember hearing it in one of the episodes.Enjoy the class. You might find that you'll want more after the semester ends. It's happy hour somewhere in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
