Escrima

There are stylistic differences and preferences from one "school" or " style" of arnis, escrima, or kali, but I dont believe there is any hard criteria which seperates the three. Some schools may be more into knife or single or double stick, or stick and dagger.

Good question. Let me ask another one.
Do all three styles typically use the angle system?

 

[Danny T]

No real differences, would be similar to asking the differences between an Automobile, Motorcar, and Motor vehicle.

So from what you are saying Danny, it mostly depends on what the man who taught you called it huh?

Some schools may be more into knife or single or double stick, or stick and dagger.

Maybe, but it could also be said that certain instructors have their own personal bias and bent toward one aspect or another right? So even these distinctions may not hold true throughout??

Thanks for the feedback guys, really helps me understand better!
