Another Glimpse Of Astonishing Filipino Martial Arts
I have expressed my appreciation of FMA (Filipino Martial Arts) several times before. And today is no exception.
FMA are generally referred to as Kali Escrima Arnis, depending on whom you are talking to.
Practitioners of FMA with a high level of proficiency really know their stuff when it comes to stick fighting. Sometimes it’s single and sometimes it’s double stick. And of course, handling sharp blades (long and short), too.
But there is a tool that can become a vey painful weapon in its own right that I didn’t even think of before doing some research.
Are you ready for this?
It’s the ‘latigo’ or simply, horse whip.
The demonstration in the following video clearly shows the accuracy and slashing effect this basic age-old tool can have in the hand of proficient practitioner of Filipino Martial Arts.
Do not try this at home without sufficient training and professional supervision! No kidding!
