– KNIFE-COMBAT

Defending against the knife is an essential part of Eskrima. Our basic principle is that you can effectively defend against knives or other thrusting/cutting weapons if you know the appropriate techniques – regardless of size or age.

– BARE HANDED COMBAT

Every one of our techniques can be applied with either weapons or bare handed. Therefore, when you learn a technique or movement, it can apply not only to a hand to hand situation, but a weapons application as well. This makes a practitioner of Eskrima not only diverse, but versatile as well, in dealing with any situation that may arise.
