Mtal Posted April 15, 2006 Posted April 15, 2006 Do Filipino Martial Arts favor joint locks to strikes? I have never really got into the empty hand aspects of Filipino martial arts, just did some stick work and a little knife, but when I go to a barnes and noble or pick up a martial arts magazine, if there is any empty hand work being shown, it seems like someone is putting an lock or arm bar most the time.If this is so, why did the Filipino martial arts develop like this?

UseoForce Posted April 15, 2006 Posted April 15, 2006 There are many Filipino MA, each with a somewhat different philosophy about joint locking. If it works, use it!If not, throw it out!

Strikes can be follwed up with joint locks, empty handed or with sticks. It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
