Does the fighting style kali/escrima/arnis what ever its called teach weapon disarms?

Question

can anyone help

Answer 1

All 3 of these arts share a great deal of technique and yes all 3 teach weapon disarms.

Answer 2

Yes they teach you how to take someones weapons away from them. They do this both from an unarmed position or with weapons of your own.

Answer 3

Those three arts delve heavily into weapons skills, so it would stand to reason that they teach a lot of disarms.

Answer 4

James,

As a Filipino martial Artists, Ofcourse we do disarms and it depends in the art (traditional or modern). We do not however disarm like you think, we take the arm (defanging the snake)not the weapon and that's all there is to it. It is common sense. We don't think of the safety of the opponent, all a practitioner of Filipino martial art is to get rid of the weapon no matter what. No big explanation for that.

Go to a club or a school that teach Filipino Martial Arts and ask yourself, please do not rely on answers here for you are being misled. Just try it and see if it fits you.

Good luck and hope you find the truth.

Yes.

The training concepts of Kali Sikaran are unique to the system. They are based on Panantukan (Filipino Boxing), Sikaran (Filipino Kickboxing), Stick fighting, Daga (Knife Fighting Training), Kadena De Mano (Close Quarters Range) and Dumog (Grappling). In Kali Sikaran these concepts are woven together into a complete and very effective fighting system. Any improvement in one aspect of the system will accelerate change and immediately enhance another. In a combination of empty hand training and weapons training, the practitioner will develop agility, balance, coordination, dexterity, endurance, flexibility, reflexes, speed, and strength that support both defensive and offensive fighting skills. The Kali Sikaran practitioner is trained to be able to adapt to any given situation.

The term Eskrima is the Filipino spelling which comes from the Spanish word esgrima, "fencing".  The most obvious feature of an Eskrima class is that it is mostly weapon-based. The student is first taught to work with weapons and only advances to empty-hand techniques once the stick techniques have been learned.  The stick techniques used in Eskrima fall into two categories: the stick techniques that are training for sword fighting, and the sword techniques that are training for stick fighting.    A common practise is to begin a drill with each student armed with two weapons; once the drill is flowing, if a student sees an opportunity to disarm their opponent, they will, but the drill will continue until both students are empty-handed. Some drills for practising disarms use only a single weapon per pair, and the partners take turns taking it from each other. Disarms, take-downs, and other techniques usually break the flow of such a drill, but they are usually practised beginning from such a sequence of movements in order to force the student to adapt to a variety of situations.  Seguidas drills taken from San Miguel system, are sets of hitting and movement patterns usually involving stick and dagger.  

One of the characteristics of Filipino martial arts is the use of weapons from the very beginning of training. Modern Arnis is no exception. The primary weapon is the rattan stick, called a cane or baston (baton), which varies in size, but is usually about 28 inches (71cm) in length. Both single and double stick techniques are taught, with an emphasis on the former; unarmed defences against the stick and against bladed weapons (which the stick is sometimes taken to represent) are also part of the curriculum.  Training covers empty-hand self-defence (striking, locking, throwing, etc.) as well as the trademark single and double stick techniques of the Filipino martial arts. Other aspects of the art include espada y daga (sword and dagger fighting), sinawali (double stick weaving patterns), and tapi-tapi (locking drills with the stick). In addition to partner drills, Modern Arnis includes the use of anyo (kata), solo forms both with and without the stick.
