Eskrima and Kali are the weapons arts of the Philipines, referred to as Filipino Martial Arts or FMA.
Training is done with the short stick, single or double.
In Eskrima we fight with the stick, so stick training represents stick combat.
In Kali we fight with swords, so stick training represents blade combat. That is the real distinction between the two. Kali is a lot like Krabi, but also very different, as you will see.
Eskrima training consists of:
Sinawalli - double sticks
Largo mano - long range single stick
Serrada - close range single stick
Kadena de mano - knife and hand
