The name of the Filipino sword and dagger technique is “espada y daga”, which is sometimes also practiced with a stick and dagger instead of a sword and dagger combination. It is one of the more advanced techniques taught in escrima, and is very effective once the user is able to close the distance and enter the vulnerable zone of the opponent. At such close range the technique becomes almost unstoppable.
I’ve been interested in the Ray Floro fighting system for several years now, after first seeing their short Youtube video, “The Seven Vital Truths of Edged Weapons”. But it’s only now that I got to finally download their video course. I was skeptical at first, but after watching I’ve turned into a kind of believer. I’ve been practicing escrima for more than six years and have already earned my third-degree black belt, but if I were really honest I’d say not all my knife fighting skills will work in a real life fight. Ray Floro gives some of the simplest and most effective techniques guaranteed to work in real life, and he’s stripped away all those elaborate, showy moves.
