Double Stick Course Description

The Filipino martial arts are known by the names Kali, Escrima and Arnis. Many people think that if they become good at twirling the stick then they know FMA. Twirling is not Fighting.

Many police and military around the world are now learning these arts are due to the effectiveness of the techniques.

This course focuses on the use of the Rattan Double Stick, teaching the Striking Patterns, Footwork, Blocks, Disarms, Locks, Chokes and much more.
We also go into the Espada y Daga (Stick and Dagger) techniques.
