I've recently upgraded my website to include a description of the Filipino martial art that I practice. San Miguel Eskrima is a classical style of Filipino stick fighting. Students practice with rattan weapons and learn to use bladed weapons once they have internalized the basic principles of the art. Students also learn a body mechanic that is effective for cutting and thrusting with a sword and thrusting with a dagger.

In addition, there are links on this page to articles written about San Miguel Eskrima, as well as additional pictures and media clips available on other pages of the site.
Best wishes,
