ESKRIMA – KALI – ARNIS / FMA

Eskrima, also known as Arnis or Kali, is the traditional martial arts of the Philipines and South-Eastern Asia. Generally perceived as a weapons-based fighting system that utilises sticks (of various sizes), blades (ranging from small daggers to large swords) and improvised weapons.

Although training starts with weapons, empty hand techniques, trapping and limb destruction are core parts of these arts as the weapon is considered merely an extension of the body.

Eskrima comprises of many levels of training, ranging from the staff (long stick), double stick, stick and dagger, single stick, dagger and dagger, single dagger, flexible weapons (nunchaku) and then into empty-handed techniques of panantukan (boxing), pananjakman (kicking), dumog (wrestling) and Buno (submissions).

The Filipino Martial Arts can be seen as a holistic martial arts programme, which is at the very core of the Trojan Academy of Mixed Martial Arts and philosophy of the Sobey Fitness training programme.

The Self-Defence 'stuff' was really simple and quick to grasp - boosting my confidence and feelings of self security!
Many thanks

The Self-Protection workshop run by Sobey Fitness was clearly presented, Dan showed a good level of knowledge and realisim to what was being delivered and scared us with his 'verbal Judo' but helped turn that fear around!

Being an unconfident person who has had unwanted attention in the past the worry of being a victim has been a reoccuring thought in my mind - this course helped me to put those fears to rest and turn up my awareness making me more confident and less like feeling a potential victim!
