New FMA Resource:
We’d like to announce our latest site, EskrimaSpace.com. Although the site has only just officially opened, it is getting some pretty good traffic. The site offers blogs, discussion forums, user profiles and photo galleries. Y’all come by and check it out sometime.
Why Filipino Martial
Arts?
I have an instructor's
certification in the Defensor Method and an affiliate instructor's certification
from the CDF Academy. (Most of my time has been spent in the Defensor
Method.) The Defensor Method is a Filipino martial arts system taught by Maha Guro
Nate Defensor at the Filipino Kali-Eskrima Academy of Chicago.
Filipino Martial Arts refers to a class of fighting arts
that emphasize weapons training such as edged and impact weapons. Other terms
which have entered into common usage include Kali and Arnis de Mano (armor of
the hand); occasionally the abbreviation FMA (Filipino Martial Arts) is used.
Eskrima and Arnis are among the many names primarily used in the Philippines
today to refer to these arts. We use single stick, double stick, staff, knife,
double knife, sword, double sword, empty hand, and all other variations of
weaponry.
We promote Kali Eskrima
products such as rattan sticks, kamagong sticks, bahi sticks, and videos
online. Come by some time and check out the site. KaliEskrima.Com.
We meet a lot of martial
artists that way and I am always pleased that our martial arts community is so
great to work with.
Even though we carry exotic
hardwood sticks, our everyday training sticks are 28" hickory.
For some, hickory might not be "oriental enough" but they take a
beating and keep on ticking. (That's all we worry about.) Some guys
feel American boxing is just not exotic enough until they tie hands with a
boxer. LOL
I
really love being in this online community with all these martial artists!
I've been on the Eskrima Digest since way before it was a digest, but I really
like sharing pictures, commenting on your pics, and having private
messages. Y'all drop me a note when you stop in.
See you in the sticks!
