Eskrima rocks - one of my top picks of martial arts to learn.

Tatang Ilustrisimo is still awesome and his fighting skills were second to none. Training with live blades was normal for many Eskrima Arnis Kali practicioners and as real as it gets.

@jbel867: Well, the problem is that it's not really easy to find a Doce Pares school, or any other Escrima school for that matter. If there were more Escrima school around (as there are Muay Thai gyms when I went to Thailand to train Muay Thai), then people would PROBABLY be encouraged more to enroll. I grew up in the rough streets of Manila and saw no school of Escrima in the Sta. Ana/ Paco area. It is unfortunate but it is the truth. If only we had more schools and money. :)

why should anyone use sharp knifes in demo?

[kurtz905]

I can beat up tatang with my Jiujitsu and I'm going to give him a lovely tatang arm bar, or a nice guillotine choke :p
