Hello! Brand new to eskrima/kali/arnis and looking to learn. There was someone teaching across the river from me, but the school closed. Where do I start? (I have a pair of sticks.) Thanks!

After finding my Great Uncle’s World War 1 unarmed combat manual, I went down a bit of a rabbit hole looking into British Army combat methods from World War 2. It’s a real throwback — old school techniques, old training methods, and an old English voice-over that I honestly found pretty entertaining. I’ve uploaded a video talking about the topic and sharing some of the things I found interesting along the way. Let me know what you think 👊 https://youtu.be/Cm_HS7J2y78?si=nqwaSJS05C8MTm08

I’ve decided to create a dedicated filming space for our Skool community. Yes… I’m that committed to making sure we have a place to film better lessons, drills, breakdowns, and courses for everyone here. Up until now a lot of the videos have been filmed wherever I could make space — but having a proper setup will make a big difference for the quality of the content moving forward. This photo/video is the “before” stage. Soon this space will be transformed into a small studio where I’ll be filming: • Eskrima lessons • Drill breakdowns • Course material • Community challenges • Training concepts and ideas This community keeps growing and I want the content quality to grow with it. I’ll post updates as the studio starts to take shape. Big things coming. 👊

I’m currently reworking the Panantukan Boxing course inside the classroom — tightening things up, adding new material, and making it even more useful for you all 👊 But I don’t want to just guess what to build next… What do YOU want me to film next? Drop your ideas below ⬇️ Could be anything: • Specific techniques • Drills or training methods • Beginner breakdowns • Full workouts • Eskrima / Kickboxing / Panantukan content If there’s something you’re stuck on or want to improve, tell me — I’ll prioritise filming content that actually helps you move forward. Let’s build this together 💥

I just want to say a massive THANK YOU to every single one of you for being part of this community. When I started this, I honestly didn’t know how many people would be interested in training, learning, sharing ideas and helping grow the Filipino Martial Arts together… and now we’ve hit over 100 members. That’s 100 people from different backgrounds all connected through Eskrima, Kickboxing and martial arts. What makes this community special is the interaction: 🥋 Training clips 🥋 Questions and discussions 🥋 Sharing drills and combinations 🥋 Supporting each other’s progress 🥋 Keeping the arts alive and growing Whether you’ve been here from the beginning or only joined recently, thank you for coming on this journey with me. We’re only just getting started. There’s a lot more coming: ⚔️ More live training ⚔️ More breakdown videos ⚔️ More drills and combinations ⚔️ More community interaction ⚔️ And eventually some bigger plans for the future… I’d love to know: 👉 What has been your favourite part of the community so far? 👉 What would you like to see more of going forward? Thank you again everyone. Onwards to the next milestone 👊”
