shortstick Posted February 9, 2003 Posted February 9, 2003 Hey, just looking for someone who wants to talk a bit about eskrima. I have been training in Sarrada eskrima for about 7 years, and also a bit in sinwali eskrima. My main study has been Kara-Ho Kempo, but i find that eskrima really complements the kempo training. Chime in! Shortstick "The more we change, the more we stay the same"

monkeygirl Posted February 10, 2003 Posted February 10, 2003 I am moving this to the Weapons forum, where it will probably get some better responses. 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard.
magikchiongson Posted February 10, 2003 Posted February 10, 2003 I'm currently taking both Kuntao and Kali, and I've found that the weapons training in Kali makes my hands move faster and even the Siniwali is exactly like several Kuntao moves only without the sticks. I own you.
shortstick Posted February 10, 2003 Author Posted February 10, 2003 I agree, one of the things I like about eskrima is that many of the applications work the same empty handed, or with a club, knife..... And your hand speed does increase. Plus if you are planning to train for life, when you are 75 you may have problems throwing that jump-spin-hook kick, but swatting a person with a stick...no problem!

StormKrow Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 *Bingo* Flying-jump-spinning-spasmatic-wheel-kicks with a 1/2 twist are great when you're 16-23... When you're 80...it's a whole different story. It's all about the application, not how pretty you can make it.I agree, one of the things I like about eskrima is that many of the applications work the same empty handed, or with a club, knife.....
