Thread: A "weapons-only" martial arts school?

Is there such a school that will teach you to fight using sticks like the enemy in this video?

(I only want to learn it mainly for show, but at a regular school I'd have to stay with for a few years to start learning anything like this..)

Eskrima is a Filipino martial arts (sticks and knives self-defense technic). The 2 modern movies that I could think of who uses that style are Matt Damon in all 3 "Jason Bourne" and Tom Cruise in "Mission Impossible III".

save your money. nothing beats a baseball bat.

Eskrima and kali are the two main martial arts. kali is second to none for teaching fluidity of movement.

If you are interested suggest you look up any class under the banner of 'dog brothers'. Pretty intense training.

third that. It teaches weapons first then empty hand as the movements are essentially the same, you don't have to learn seperate systems.

Kendo is the traditional japanese system*
