Disarm or disarming is a term used by escrimador and arnis practicioners.Meaning grabbing the stick by use of blocking. Disarming can be done in many ways, use of the arm otherwise known as snake disarming, grabbing the stick after weapon contact , use of the legs, use of the neck or stick to stick disarming, using somebody's part to disarm and sometimes by pushing the weapon hand against an object maybe a tree or chairs and other object that might help to disarm.
In many tournaments with headgear and bodyarmour out of 100 fights it is seldom that grabbing the sticks happens most disarming happens when one lost his sticks while in the process of hitting or upon contact with the opponents body or headgear.
There is nothing wrong with disarming, provided it won't be a bad habit because when the real blade is moving like a jet plane then that bad habit will start to work.
The Original discipline (kalis) meaning to scrape or level or make the top even as scraping the surface or in rice measurent , you level the ganta or anything that is sticking out not needed that cause injury as a rocks on the road or anything that prevents your actions must be scrape or kalis. This is the term in kali as a blade culture discipline. Discipline is to cut with a kalis blade anything that prevents the slashing or thrusting movements.To explain the differences one must how to use the term and how it is going to work. If you hold the stick then you must how to use it like a escrimador if you hold the blade be like a man of kali but the big difference is you might forget that in actual blade to blade you will use what is good as escrima technique against the stick and of course you lost your arm because the other fellow is using the technique " thisarm is mine"
On the other hand disengagement of the weapon is done by deflection, diffussion and power contact. Regardless of the speed of the stick or blade by applying the deflectory method only on contact, the direction of the blades or stick is guided by the technique with timing that during entry into the medium range, it exactly deflect the weapon away for re-entry driving the weapon towards the target. Deflection is driving the weapon outside we call in our system ( pag gua or open top ) giving you a space for rapid entry.
While inward entry is diffussion. Diffussing your weapon upon contact moving towards the center line of the body we call this ( takpan) or close top. Deflection and diffussion are the most effecient way for closing in to obtain maximum cutting opportunity then when the arm is within the cutting range we apply real "thisarming" this arm is mine).
In full power delivery of the stick or blade we have the method called Pang guba( destruction upon contact ) Everything within the range of the power blows it must be destroyed non-stop with multiple attacks. Only heaven can stop it no place to go.
How you distinguish your mental function is depending on the training and discipline if an escrimador is sinile because of age it is because he forgot how disarming works but if he still remembers once in a while he is still good for one to learn a good disarming, take advantage while someone can still remember,two things you will learn ,how to remember and how to forget.
