The Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) is several thousand years old,
though, have only become popularized in the last few decades. They
are usually known as Kali, Escrima, and Arnis (de Mano). The
various styles are as diverse as the 7,000 islands that make up the
Philippine Archipelago. They are a very comprehensive system that
contain up to 12 categories of weaponry. In general, the first
training method/weapon is the stick. Any technique done with a
stick can be done with an empty hand, knife or any other weapon.
Thus, it is a very practical and interchangeable martial art,
viewing any weapon as just the extension of the hand. This method
will be demonstrated as well have some audience precipitation.
