Eskrima is a martial art that I specialize in. It is a
traditional Philippine style of martial arts. It consists of one stick,
two sticks, or a stick and a dagger combat between two individuals. It takes
great flow and agility to become a master of this martial art. The basic
principals of the system are blended concepts of balance, speed (timing and
distance), power, focus, and transition. It is a very violent sport that is
held dearly to the Philippine culture. Today it is still heavily practiced
everywhere, including America, and is also used as street performance. Because
even though this is a violent sport it is also graceful and elegant to watch.
