Hi guys. Please excuse my ignorance.
I was reading a thread where kenpotex asked the question about the difference between Arnis, Kali, and Escrima. The site that was suggested stated that they where basically the same thing, that the name indicated what area the style came from and that Kali is pretty much an unknown word in the philipines. I don't know mush about these styles. Please correct me if I am wrong. I have had it explianed to me a little bit differently and have also read it this way in different in text.
Kali/Escrima, Kali was developed as a blade fighting art. Escrima was used as a training tool and weapon with-in Kali
Arnis was developed as a stick fighting art.
Could someone shed a little light. Thanx.
