Orginal Post: NeverMan: I believe that's what it's called. Does anyone train this? If so, what do you think of it? Maybe I have the wrong idea, that's why I want to be filled in and "enlightened" :).

Orginal Post: dscott: Do you like to wrap your sticks? If so, with what? I was thinking of wrapping mine with white "hockey" tape on one end for grip.

Can't believe it, shouldn't happen...

Orginal Post: Gazelle: I looked at this empty forum, and thought, 'no way can this forum just be 'empty'', and decided to change it.

So, what better way to start a forum off by some questions? Of course another great way is by actually delivering information, the problem is, i know even less about Filipino martial arts than Chinese martial arts - i know, scary.

Right, so, here we go....

Does anyone know about the history of the Filipino martial arts? How did they start? Is there more than one kind? If there is more than one, are they completely independent, or derived from the same origin as others? What kind of techniques do they 'specialise' in? i.e. Judo groundwork, kickboxing kicking and punching...

There is an Escrima club here. I checked out there site, might try it out once this side of mine is healed...sounds like it could be good.
