Balintawak/Escrima with Grand Master Bobby Taboada

Beneath the wide swinging, flashy and visible blows, Balintawak Escrima uses an array of sophisticated secret moves, dynamics in balancing, holds, parries, clips, ruses, feigns, tripping, sweeping, kicking, trapping, reversal in motion and direction, blows with simultaneous offense and defense including a myriad of combination blows with the stick, fist, elbow, knee, foot, and head butting. There is no emphasis on acrobatic, strenuous and abnormal movements of the human body. In Balintawak escrima, the student is taught there is a counter for every counter, and that continuous research and discovery is the basis of knowledge and wisdom.
