Escrima is a Phillipino combat system meaning ‘Skirmish’. It is known as ‘Kali’ or ‘Arnis de Mano’ (‘hand-art’). Contestants use a pair of short sticks and attempt to strike each others head and body. In some styles, only one stick per competitor is used.
Escrima students wear tee-shirts and loose trousers. The sticks are held close to one end and a rhythm of movement is built up. As proficiency increases, so speed and body movement accelerate.
Selected Escrima clubs within NAKMAS are currently represented.
