eskrima and arnis.
i know is not what everyone thought. arnis is arnis, eksrima is eskrima. no "kali"
but the other styles are known as, very simple, silat and kuntaw. but kuntaw can be a empty hand art, or it can be all weapons, or both. now i never saw it with my own eyes, but i was told this, but kuntaw can be just a sword and knife fighting art. but one of our specialty that its hard to find in many eskrima and arnis is the long pole and the sickle and spear. for my own students i only have three students i showed the pole/spear to, one who i am teaching right now. and i am showing him because i need a sparring partner. some of the other weapons you cannot find in other places is the club, which is heavy at the top of the stick (same size or shorter), the bow and arrows, and (i dont remember the name of this weapon) the rope with the rock in the end, which some people will call the yo yo.
somebody ask the question on another topic, but i hate to see only two topics current on bladeforum.
