parkerlineage Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I've seen some of the Doce Pares guys that also train at our dojo do stick/knife kata, and haven't been hugely impressed - then again, they all pretty much suck.It does look like a good concept, though.

What interests me is actual weapon on weapon drills, or weapon on one or multiple attackers. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerlineage Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Oh, well in that case - I have no opinion, because I have no idea. But it looks cool.

bushido_man96 Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 Oh, well in that case - I have no opinion, because I have no idea. But it looks cool. I do have a book on Cabales Serrada Escrima, and I liked what was in it. Looked like they did all hands on type stuff. I wish there was a school here for it. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerlineage Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Do you know why so many of these stick fighting styles come from Spain or seem to have Spanish roots? Escrima, Doce Pares, and Arnis are all Spanish, right?

Escrima, Doce Pares, and Arnis are all Spanish, right?they're fillipino. i'm not sure if fillipino is related to spanish, but i know 'esgrima' means fencing in spanish.

I think that is where it comes from. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerlineage Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I'll have to ask my master about that one - he's filipino, and knows a few of those stick systems.

Jiffy Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Most fillipinoes do. It was taught as a common thing for boys years ago (bit like football for us).Geez I wish I grew up in a country where MA was the normal passtime! The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
