Weapon Training FAQs

Escrima, also known as Kali or Arnis, is a traditional Filipino martial art focusing on weapon-based combat, primarily using sticks, knives, and improvised objects for self-defense. What sets Escrima apart is its emphasis on practicality, adaptability, and efficiency in real-life combat situations. Unlike some martial arts that prioritize flashy techniques or forms, Escrima techniques are straightforward and often based on simple, natural movements, making it accessible to practitioners of all ages and skill levels.

Classes typically cover a variety of traditional weapons such as sticks, swords, and knives, offering a well-rounded training experience. A key concept of Escrima is adapting the fighting principles to work with any everyday object, turning simple objects like pens, umbrellas, or car keys into effective weapons.

We provide only a limited amount of sticks, machetes, and practice knives for students to use during sessions, so you are more than welcome to bring your own. Talk to our instructors about which training weapons it is safe to practice with and which ones to avoid!

No, weapon training will not make you more aggressive. Instead, it instills discipline, control, and focus.

You'll learn to respond with appropriate force, ensuring you can protect yourself effectively and get out of dangerous situations safely
