Eskrima Stickfighting

Eskrima is a weapons based Martial Art which originates from the Phillipines. It is steeped in proven Combat efficiency throughout the ages.

The Martial Art does not require strength or power as the majority of movements are derived from use of body movement and good technique.

Although in class you learn with a stick, the system quickly gives you the ability to use absolutely any weapon or use any everyday object such as a mobile phone, keys, a pen, a magazine, to devastating effect with the exact same movements as you would use with a stick. 
If you happened to have a stick handy in a street encounter then your confidence will naturally be higher anyway. This goes without saying...

Eskrima can be practiced anywhere with little room needed for training. The movements are not only fun and easy to learn but they will give you increased flexibility, improved muscle tone, including sharp, short range powerful strikes.

Even if you study another Martial Art you will find that Eskrima will naturally complement and develop your chosen style.
It blends effortlessly into any form of exercise or training that you do. This is the true beauty of the system.

Eskrima teaches the student to fight at close, medium and long ranges in training. It has takedowns, sweeps, disarming, and interchangeability of weapons.

You will quickly discover that when you are on the receiving end of a competent Eskrimador Fighter, then you are in a quagmire as the short range powerful and continuous strikes are difficult to deal with.

In our system (including most Eskrima styles) you are taught sparring from the start, as this encourages the students confidence, focus and fighting spirit.
