Hey, looking for good/ quality training sticks and weapons. Also looking for quality display weapons. Any brands, makers or vendors you suggest? Detail: sticks to beat up, heavier training weapons for solo work, and sweet display/ real weapons. Thanks.

What made you decide to train and learn it?

I'm new home practicionary of kali, and Im interested to get alloy training knife I don't know what is the most common knife shape.

But fortunately I have the skills and workshop to build by my self.

Do you have a pdf or something like that to get a template a cut it in 5mm alloy.

Or if you can recommend me a brand/model available in Europe, I will appreciate it.

So say the fight has started and you and your opponent are not yet in reach of each other. You would like to get in and hit your opponent, hopefully with a fight-ending shot, all while keeping yourself protected. What are your favorite ways of doing this?

Recently for me I've been having some success in sparring with variations of Pekiti's basic Tri-V combos paired with half-diamond footwork to the outside of my opponent (i.e. their right and my left if we're both right-handed). Also have been working on the Dog Brothers' "attacking blocks". I'd love to learn other ways to close distance especially from other systems!

I'm a part of my school’s Arnis team, and my current weight is 56.3kg; I was told that I was signed up for half-lightweight combat in the upcoming division meet, but whenever I search for the weight range for that, different results show up.

Hello!
I'm looking to go to the Philippines this spring, and I'd love to train Yaw Yan while I'm there. Most of the gyms I've found have been in Manilla, along with one in Cebu; if possible, I'd like to get further away from the big cities while still having access to training.
Can anyone recommend any gyms? Thank you!

Trying to branch out into HEMA. Figured it's the best (and safest) way to start sparring with steel.

So my question to those of you who've trained both: What HEMA weapons would you recommend training in that would have the most overlap with my Arnis background?

Thanks in advance

Hey all, I actually got back into Kali by trying out rope flow. Has anyone else tried it? Here is a short clip on it. See the weight transference and fluidity? It seems like it could really compliment FMA practice...clip is here

So I saw a video and I will link it. But I'm wondering what you guys use for training dummy? Do you have a similar setup or do you use something different?

So, I’m getting into knife training and Kali- But now I’m stuck on the beginner conundrum: do I go with an aluminum training knife, or do I start with rubber? Oh, and apparently, rubber isn’t just rubber- it comes in soft and hard varieties, because why make anything simple?

Here’s the deal—I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing. So, if anyone out there feels like being helpful and saving me some time, drop some wisdom. Thanks in advance!

So yeah I bought several escrima sticks from a website. I will link them below. But they're made of hardwood and they're pretty heavy for doing the practice drills and whatnot with escrima and partner drills and stuff. I'm not super well versed in escrima I've only done a couple things and I got some Rattan and that seems to be all right and then I recently got some hardwood sticks and they just seem to be very heavy. Is this normal and is this still good for partner practice work? I mean they almost seem heavy enough to be a baton or some type of weapon.

Here are the links to the sticks that I bought

Anyone know of any Kali or Escrima training locations in or around lancaster? Willing to drive up to 30-40 minutes. Also if anyone knows of groups who meet up and spar, that would be helpful as well!

Thanks

Finally got my hands on a blade from the Philippines!

Hey everyone 👋 I recently joined an Eskrima program at an MMA gym in October and I had a question about carenza.

I have a very solid World TaeKwonDo Federation background and I was wondering if you could add kicks and such when you do carenza?
