Escrima Drill Training

  You could try to follow along with this video to have mastery over the movements. If not, you could try imitating some of it. It all starts with you getting some dual sticks and then trying to mimic what this lady is showing. You might not get it at first but be patient with yourself. After many or even a few tries, you'll be able to develop the right muscle memory for the strikes. It's already set in slow motion so it would be easy for you to move along the video. Good luck on your journey to learning and mastering escrima.

Focusing on Self-Defense This Year

One of the things that I want to focus on this 2021 is learning how to better defend myself. Because of civil unrest and people's desperation, folks may turn against one another. It's completely natural, though, as often folks prioritize their survival over others. You don't know what's going to happen so it would be best to be careful. In the news, there are riots going on. So, with that in mind, it's better to be prepared for anything at all. This means that it's important to be ready if ever someone takes advantage of you. Since you don't know who's got the will to do bad deeds, it pays to be a bit suspicious of everyone somehow. This doesn't mean that you must have a serious paranoia.

Remy Presas may have passed on but his legacy continues. His way of manipulating arnis sticks made it simple for a lot of people to get into the Filipino Martial Arts called escrima, arnis, or kali.

What's unique about his art is that he teaches people how to strike hard and strike fast while keeping the flow of the blade or stick going. With his craft, you can learn how it is to attack, defend yourself, and think things through fast while a fight is going on. If you're interested to know more about him and how he did his thing when he was alive, buy his book about Modern Arnis or watch videos of him like this one on websites like YouTube. If you're interested in doing what he did then buy some 28-inch rattan sticks to follow along with his comprehensive lessons. You won't always find a stick to defend yourself with or to attack an assailant but he covers that too by teachi...
