Eskrimadors

Very Exciting+Cool Moves
It's a very cool historical documentary film, I've seen too many martial arts films to get excited about the story flashback fights they've been in for respect, those bits I could forward. But when they show all the old grandmasters, moving really fast doing cool moves I haven't seen on youtube yet and explaining the principles behind them I get excited. Just slow mo it and you got an instructional dvd as well, not an intentional one so don't be upset if you think it isn't, but if you pick up moves fast then yes. The masters seem to want to show their best moves for the camera as well and all the different styles are brilliant to see. Being half filipino but not having looked into my cultural heritage, this makes me feel proud of my filipino side. My filipino grandfather was in the army and did this stuff.

I got a baby boy now and when he's older we'll go to the philippines, do some stick fighting training hopefully with some of these guys if they're still around and let us.

This is an excellent historical and cultural view into the arts of Kali, Arnis de Mano and Escrima. Anybody who studies the Filipino Martial arts should have a copy. There's knowledge here that cannot be replaced.

This DVD about the history is Eskrima is a great documentary on the start and progress of filipino martial arts.
