Escrima Knife Fighting Secret to Learning Weapons Simultaneously

Most of the observations throughout Escrima Knife Fighting is the distinction between training with doble baston, espada y daga, solo baston, knife and kuntao. This raises the question of whether to train with an Escrima Knife Fighting system focusing only on a certain weapon or training all the different Escrima Knife Fighting weapon combinations.

If you want to fast track your Escrima Knife Fighting learning time, then ADAPTATION is for you. Adaptation in Escrima Knife Fighting is the process of converting a technique from one weapon to another. Examples are double Escrima Knife Fighting stick to single Escrima Knife Fighting stick, single stick to knife. I refer to adaptation as learning 5 Escrima Knife Fighting weapons simultaneously.

This means a single Escrima Knife Fighting technique can be utilized in all 5 Escrima Knife Fighting weapon combinations. This approach enables the Escrima Knife Fighting student to focus on the technique rather than on the weapon(s) used. If a practitioner is trained in double sticks and knows how to adapt it to empty hands, he/she simply adapts and applies the double sticks techniques to empty hands in self-defense situations.

Having this mindset of adaptability also means that you can convert everyday ordinary things such as pens, umbrella, magazine, car keys, etc.. into Escrima Knife Fighting weapons for self-defense and applying Escrima Knife Fighting techniques for that matter.
