Working with weapons develops your understanding of range, timing, and angles. Weapons can be training tools that encourage you to move and work for position, which can benefit unarmed empty hand combat.
If you are already a martial artist then Escrima Concepts can be a good companion art that complements your existing skills.
Escrima Concepts also teaches how some weapon techniques translate into unarmed movements.
Training with weapons helps us explore and better understand the difficulties involved in defending against them. Fear, stress, and adrenaline can affect our coordination and ability to execute a technique under pressure. Controlled drills and pressure testing allow us to examine how we move and respond, dispel myths, and identify options that may improve our chances.
Blade awareness is approached with honesty. There is no guaranteed answer against an edged weapon; training explores movement, distance, timing, risk, and the limitations of different options.
Escrima Concepts has a structured syllabus of nine student grades, with each grade building on the previous one, giving you a roadmap for your training and allowing you to measure your progress.
It's not a loose collection of techniques, but a tightly connected system where everything you learn has a purpose and function. Movements from the earlier grades are expanded upon and developed into more complex skills, which are tested under more demanding conditions as you work towards long term goals.
We train all combinations to give you a broader picture and a comprehensive understanding
