MODERN FILIPINO WEAPONRY
The Filipino weapon arts Arnis, Eskrima and Kali are interchangeable, with the main name varying in usage depending on the area of the Philippines it is practiced or the context in which it is being used.
These arts have been through out the islands history, with each island and each village practicing some version of weapon based fighting, from the basic to the intricate. To this day the systems are still evolving.
Black Dragon Kai is no different, our system of Modern Filipino Weaponry continues to evolve and incorporate tested techniques and tactics in our use of both bladed and impact weapons.
