This martial art form originates from the Philippines and is also known as Kali, Arnis, and under the umbrella term of FMA (Filipino Martial Arts). Escrima Concepts is a modernised form that has been further refined by Grandmaster Steve Tappin. While Escrima Concepts does include weapon training, it also focuses on unarmed combat.
Training with weapons helps to develop skills such as angles, range, timing, and positioning, all of which benefit unarmed combat skills. The transition from weapons to unarmed combat is a core element of Escrima Concepts, highlighting the connexion between the body mechanics used in weapon training and their application to unarmed empty-handed skills. Additionally, Escrima Concepts can complement the skills of existing martial artists, as they train all combinations of weapon vs weapon, unarmed vs weapon, and unarmed vs unarmed, providing a comprehensive understanding of combat.
