[Master of Blades]

Hmm.........seems Kali isnt very popular up around you guys is it!

 

[lhommedieu]

Cf. Mark Wiley's "Filipino Martial Culture" (Tuttle) pp. 307-44 for an interesting discussion regarding the use of the terms "kali," "eskrima," and "arnis" for various Filipino martial arts.

Wiley's argument is paraphrased in my post under the "FMA Vocabulary Needed" thread.

Well if you look at most of the influence to Modern Arnis for the stick fighting it came from teh Presas Family Style whihc I beleve they called Escrima as well as the Balintawak Escrima. From what I heard, and I maybe wrong, it was decided to use the term Modern Arnis versus some Escrima name. Since, in the area the term Arnis was not being overly used if used at all.

As Pointed out by the esteemed previous poster and his reference to Mark Wiley's Book and and the post as referenced, discuss the terms used, and some of the history.

Study all the stories and posts and then go and ask your own questions to the old Manong Masters and then make your own determination.

Just my thoughts.

Train well everyone

[The 14th Style]

Eskrima
Mostly Serrada, some Largo. It is the only art I do. I would love to learn Dumog and Cadena de mano, i've seen a little. One of the things I love About the FMA's is that there are so many styles and systems to learn from, it's like an endless banquet.
Resectfully The 14th Style

Modern Arnis from Remy Presas, Modern Arnis 80 (my curriculum based on my teacher's instructions) and I am hoping to add Balintawak Escrima shortly.

The board has a lot of Modern Arnis members. The survey is not very scientific.

Certainly more time teaching/training Modern Arnis, however currently most of my time is spent as a student of Sayoc Kali.

Chad,

For those of us who have not trained in the Sayoc Kali, could you start another thread and do maybe a compare contrast of the two arts you mentioned, Modern Arnis and Sayoc Kali. I understand that the Sayoc is largely Knife based. Just curious to learn more.

I think some of the people missed this part of the thread. I do FMA as my primary art. How many others do the same?
