Escrima, also spelled eskrima, refers to a class of Filipino martial arts that utilize sticks and swords as fighting instruments. Since the martial art was originally taught to villagers to defend themselves against foreign invaders and other villages, escrima fighting is traditionally simplified, with simple village folk physically or otherwise unable to learn complicated or flashy fighting arts. However, escrima fighting is not simple; in fact, beyond the basic skills lies a fighting art and a skill set that takes years and years to master.
