black-belt asked:
hey RJ! Eskrima is a martial arts style from the Philippines; a lot of weapon work and such :)That sounds interesting. I’d like to check it out - are there any videos online that you would point me to?
black-belt asked:
helllloo again :) lol i've been doing Taekwondo for 9 years Hapkido for 6 years and Eskrima for 2 years. how long have you been training?Not that long, really! I’m a newbie at this - just started kempo in April of 10. I always wanted to to do it, but finally worked up the courage to try it out. I have been getting way more from this than I bargained for. What is Eskrima?
