About this program

No class May 18 Learn Eskrima, the national martial art of the Philippines! Also known as Arnis or Kali, this centuries-old discipline blends indigenous warrior traditions with Spanish fencing. The Adult Entry Class introduces new students to the basics of single stick (Olisi), double stick (Sinawali), knife defenses (Baraway) and Filipino boxing (Pangamot). Students learn footwork, strikes, disarms and blocks through partner drills (Abecedario) and then refine their skills through shadow boxing (Karenza) and controlled sparring games using padded sticks or pool noodles.
