Filipino Boxing & Escrima by Markus Gottel (On Demand)

An important, but still very unknown area of Filipino martial arts is 'Filipino Boxing', also known as Pinoy Boxing, Dirty Boxing, Panantunkan, etc. Starting with Bruce Lee, Wing Chun and Escrima (Eskrima, Kali, Arnis, etc.) have formed a strong connection. Grandmaster Rene Latosa's training concepts and fighting strategies teach us to use all weapons realistically with a single system. In this video, Guro Markus Gottel focuses on a very important aspect of Escrima, the transition from fighting with different weapons to empty-hand fighting. We will see the attack techniques, with weapons and empty hand, training exercises to develop power, balance, distance, free sparring, the concept of the “box”, and free applications with weapons and empty hand, with long stick, short stick, Tonfa, Kerambit, machete, ... a single system that is easy to learn, with simple principles and concepts, and which can be extrapolated to armed and empty-hand combat.
