  • Oh, wow! A level-headed and rational post! I didn't think they existed any more! Points to mykchicano for shedding some light here. A "true eskrima fighting stick" is nonexistent. You use what works for you, be it a bolo, broom handle, or rattan stick. It's the technique that defines the art, not the tools. Are your skills rendered useless because you have to use a pool cue in the real world, not a "true eskrima fighting stick?"

  • In the first place the sticks used in Arnis (Sp. Escrima) are not made of wood, but it's made out of fire hardened rattan which is a palm (it has the interesting ability to resist shattering even when hit a blade). There are no fixed length for the sticks in Arnis, but the conventional length is dictated by the length of the fore arm (decreasing the chance of hitting each other when using double sticks).

  • @BigRoma1 People hold their weapons differently, buddy. It depends on your style/system. The late Ben Luna Lema used to hold his stick with a lot of punyo exposed. Everyone is different. There is no "right or wrong" way.

  • The other guy doesn't look like someone you wold even need to use sticks on...LOL!!

  • This guy didn't even talk about trapping .

  • Too much Punyo can leave you open to disarms Mr Tres.

  • One core teaching in the arts is respect. It is alright examine his work ,and express your own experiences and thoughts on the matter,but picking on the guy does not really help anything. I give this guy a lot credit for putting is stuff out for all to see despite my point of view on what he is teaching. 

  • if you want to see real stick strikes, look at ucc hamburg

  • Terrible!

  • @alejarren ???

  • @HalbTeufel333 and you're an instructor?

  • Guy with the stick, get in your other lead mate. Lead hand holds the stick.
