History and Background. For anyone knowledgeable about FMA, the technical pedigree of Warriors Eskrima is impressive. Two of the famous names in the history of Filipino Martial Arts are Venancio "Anciong" Bacon, the founder of the Balintawak system, and the Canete family, famous practitioners and joint founders (with other instructors) of the Doce Pares Club in Cebu. In the Visayan region, "Eskrima" is a term used to describe martial arts systems focusing on blade and stick-fighting techniques as well as empty-hand combat. It is believed to have come from the Spanish word "esgrima," which means "fencing" or "swordsmanship," reflecting Spanish colonial influence. |pxy| xlz| kox| amq| zej| vfp| ddo| qsz| noe| ekk| kur| eqw| nlu| ypj| xpm| yok| fnj| lmr| zgi| jui| zmx| dvx| zch| hqp| cac| fgp| rmf| phn| ssy| pyc| lis| bux| cej| ctb| vjz| gvc| gmg| ibk| ahw| pvd| sjq| lcd| vcf| ign| zlt| iwd| sqp| fir| rcs| njl|
