Another form to adapt Espada Y Daga is the typically empty-handed version of Anyo Dalawa.
- You will see shearing applications in the first two moves along with "near-sided, far-sided stabs" that you learn from the Palis-Palis Espada Y Daga sets (actually the downward block can be executed as a Palis-Palis parry).
- The armbars can be executed using the hilt. Or they can become circle snake disarms (note: use your weapon not your flesh for the disarm).
- The High-Low block/parry covers for the kick.
- The three shears are self-evident.
- The parry-elbow strike could be a natural grip cut, then elbow technique or if switched to pakal grip, it becomes a reverse cut, the stab.
- The armbar applications from above can be repeated for the final one.
- The downward block, two strikes become again a slash with two stabs.
- I would execute the same return as Anyo Isa with a Bolo since one should not make a habit of point weapons towards oneself.
