Every martial artist has two arts. The art of self perfection and the art of self survival.

Empty-handed Kali applications.

There’s a lot of debate in the FMA (Filipino Martial Arts) world as to whether styles like Kali and Eskrima should even be taught without a weapon. Many people are dead set on them being purely weapons (stick, knife, machete) styles and that they have no place in teaching empty-handed techniques. However, other teachers (and their students) believe the weapons techniques can be converted into empty-handed techniques. As you can see above, the applications focus on manipulating the body in order to disarm andy would be attacker. I’ll admit, some of the stuff looks like it…well…beats around the bush a little bit. It doesn’t look as direct as it could be. But then I’m no expert. A lot of it looks to be styled after other martial arts as well: Silat and even some Wing Chun. It looks to take out the limbs of the attacker and then follow up with direct blows: either elbows or knees to the face and body. Some takedowns are utilized as well. A lot of empty-handed FMA relies on footwork and keeping distance from your opponent simply because it’s based off an opponent having a weapon and, in all reality, you don’t want to get sliced up. Many styles promote distance then then zeroing in when the time is right, thus disarming the attacker and neutralizing them with ease.

The Crossing of the Return Threshold

The Two Worlds, the divine and the human, can be pictured only as distinct from each other—different as life and death, as day and night. The hero adventures out of the land we know into darkness; there accomplishes his adventure, or again is simply lost to us, imprisoned, or in danger; and his return is described as a coming back out of that yonder zone. Nevertheless—and here is a great key to the understanding of myth and symbol—the two kingdoms are actually one.
