Sparring is an integral part of training. In this
photo Guy and Manny model the live stick
sparring protective equipment. They are also
using padded sticks. The protective
equipment is used in live stick sparring,
normally we wear only the helmet when
sparring with the padded sticks. We prefer a
few bruises to wearing the hot padding since
its almost always 80F or more during our
training.

Arnis, sometimes called Escrima, is a martial art that is
indigenous to the Philippines. A close relative of Kali,
Arnis emphasises training using weapons. The training
begins with instruction in fighting using sticks. Training
proceeds with the practitioner learning to use single stick,
double stick, dagger, stick and dagger, and empty hand
techniques following an approved curriculum sequence.

In our Arnis group we learn to use different
combinations of weapons. Here Lakan Guro
Mike scores on Guy during a round of sparring
using practice daggers. Dagger sparring is
limited to senior students.
