Eskrima Kali

A Filipino martial art that focuses on the fight armed with a stick, a sword or machete, Eskrima is characterized by its battle proven techniques. It is also known as "Escrima" Kali "-especially the United States and Europe, and" Amigos de mano " (meaning "harness of the hand" in Spanish).

While many schools eskrima can trace their lineage back to various tribes and Regions of the Philippines, is little known origins of art because it was passed in an oral tradition. Some people suggest that was influenced by early Indian and Malay martial arts, silat, as well as the Malay Archipelago. What is known, however, is that the Spanish conquistadors, after arriving in the Philippines in the 16th century, engaged in skirmishes with the indigenous tribes who used weapons and technology.

Order in chaos

During a conflict countries forged the history, martial arts developed in highly efficient systems, and systematization recent arts allowed them to be sent to students in a curriculum easily absorbable. Art is also taught Filipino military organizations.

Eskrima has many different forms and most focus on weapons-based training followed by movements of the empty hand. The stick is the most common weapon. Former students first with a padded stick and a little thicker stick drive wood. Then they train with a rattan cane, which is about 2 ft (0.6 m) long and has been fire-hardened and varnished; used quickly, it can easily break a coconut with a flick of the wrist. Students also train with blades, the most common weapon used Crime in the streets of the Philippines.

Keeping it simple

Eskrima is taught in mass and a simplified manner. Flashy movements are often dramatic and refined during sparring matches in which practitioners wear a padded body armor, helmets and hand gloves. However, while Simplicity is favorable for education, the system also has a methodology increasingly complex may take decades control.

Experienced practitioners can Fight with either weapons or empty hands. The system uses a method that might work in combat, and includes hand and foot strikes and throwing some moves made, biting and gouging. Practitioners may also include gouging, punching, throwing, or shake when using weapons.

Training techniques include joint use of the stick solo, double stick, sword and the stick or the stick and dagger (known as "espada y daga). Some specialized systems in other weapons such as whips, staff, and a projectile-based weapon that looks like a 9-inch (23 cm) nail. It is common to see it is thrown into the bamboo trees as a means of develop precision. When used in battle, it is unlikely to kill, but it will distract an opponent long enough to either escape or draw another weapon.

Diverse debut

Eskrima is practiced as a sport in some parts of the Philippines, but there is little standardization rules. Traditional practitioners claim all the rules promoted by the World Eskrima Kali Arnis Federation, in which practitioners struggle under a system 10 points tends to overestimate offensive techniques rather than defensive and deflecting.

Critics also point to the disorganized fighting, with participants denigration of the other as fast as they can with a stick, as opposed to the application of proper techniques solid.

Different techniques

In combat, a player must study his body alignment relative to its opponent and ensure that tip of the weapon of strike vulnerable areas of the body of an opponent. In competition, however, points are more likely to be assigned to key reasonably effective.

Weapons are considered an extension of the body, footwork and generally follows a triangular pattern. Thus, when moving a participant in any direction, his feet still occupy two corners of an imaginary triangle on the ground. If it is not forward, he walks on the third corner imaginary triangle so that no leg never crosses the other at any time. This ensures a degree of stability and allows the player to use a good leverage its technical and physical strength to throw the soil in his hand or arm.
