Description
Eskrima Filipino Martial Art by Krishna Godhania is a comprehensive guide to this dynamic and flexible martial art. Practised worldwide by civilians, law enforcement personnel, and special units within the military, Eskrima offers a highly practical weapons-based system for self-defense. The book explores both training with weapons and purely unarmed techniques, using rattan sticks and daggers from an early stage. This unique approach has been found to increase co-ordination and reflexes, providing a fast track to developing essential qualities for practical self-defense. The instructional section delves into various combat situations, including fighting with both weapons and open-hands. Covering techniques, two-person flow drills, self-defense applications, training with specialized equipment, the philosophy of Eskrima, and 'self-defense and the law', this book provides in-depth insights into the martial art's principles and practices.
