Eskrima Kombat

My thanks to my teacher, Maestro Michael Mulconery (second from left), for sponsoring a Big Stick Combat workshop today. That’s me in the black cap. I had a great time today introducing the long stick via Big Stick Combat, my fusion of the Filipino martial arts with American baseball, with acknowledgement of my teachers: GM Ramiro Estalilla of Kabaroan Eskrima, a long stick Ilocano system in Fresno, California GM Mike Vasquez of Modified Tapado, a short staff system in Bacolod, Philippines GM Drigo Maranga of Combat Eskrima Maranga, a short stick system and peer of Balintawak Eskrima in Cebu City, Philippines.
