Basic concepts of Filipino Martial Arts are first taught with impact and bladed weapons before empty hands. This system is different from other Martial Arts which teach empty hand techniques before weapons. Topics covered will include single stick, double stick, and dagger (short stick). Knife defense and empty hands are also covered in later classes. The universality of motion and flow inherent in the art will be taught once the basics are learned. Certain techniques can be carried over from (single stick) to (double stick) to (dagger) to (empty hands), and knife defense. Students are expected to buy their own sticks and other safety equipment for the class. Contact bgzbonoan@gmail.com with questions
