Arnis is Escrima
Normal 0
It is interesting to meet practitioners from different styles of kali and learn their naming and numbering structure. Seems we all have some things in common, yet, certain things may be stressed a little more or a little less depending on the background of the escrima instructor.If you use specific words to describe your style like Serrada or the Defensor Method, or perhaps something more general like Escrima, we realize everyday that we have many similarities.We are simply branches of the same tree.
Back when I first started the Defensor Method in the mid 80s at the University of Chicago, martial arts groups were less open to collaboration, and as such, we sometimes got caught up mixing western logic and eastern linguistics.Rather than simply train hard, there were people that would get un-nerved by someone’s opinion about origins of martial arts terms. When I asked my instructor the difference between arnis, escrima etc. Guro Nathan Defensor used to say that whether we call our arts Arnis, Eskrima, or Escrima it is much like saying car, auto, automobile, they are just words that refer to the same thing. During my early training years however, there were some that were very firm that what they studied was abc, NOT xyz.
We are now deeply rooted in a digital age, and it is great to have the input of martial artists all over the world to get their input and perspectives different aspects of martial arts. Online resources such as Ray Terrys Eskrima Digest and numerous web sites have been, in my opinion, a huge help in getting us all to see that we are very much alike. YouTube video clips show us that, yep, we do that too.Now there is a great deal of people learning more than one martial art, as we now see the benefits of a multiple system approach that just would not have happened back in the 80′s in many schools.
We are also seeing greater access to international trade, which means that escrima practitioners have greater access to exotic arnis sticks such as ironwood sticks and bahi sticks. Buying yourself sticks made of exotic woods used to be very difficult to do as you couldn’t just buy escrima sticks from the Sears catalog. Now, we only need to do an Internet search to find the best sources for Filipino Martial Arts Supplies.
By fostering the collaboration and communication of martial artists all over the world, this digital age is an excellent era for the proliferation of martial arts!
