Compared to using double sticks, I would say I am probably more comfortable playing with double swords. I find that wielding dual swords is easier than wielding double sticks, for it does not necessitate the use of as much impact force. A reasonably light pass for a slash or a quick tap with the tip for a hacking wound is enough to deal some damage. Dual sword practice cultivates in an eskrimador control over multiple seamless sets of unremitting combinations which successively flow from one to the other, like windmill blades which, every so often, changes angles to deflect attacks or to create openings.
Gratitude goes to my wife, Abigail, for enduring the intense heat to help me film this video.
I apologize for the title, there will be no death involved in my windmills.
Thanks to Guro Gerald Pilapil of Ensayo Tactical for my favorite training swords.
It's a wonderful exercise for the upper extremities. Thank you for sharing your amazing video. Have a great day. Stay safe.

@@bladesociety You're very welcome brother😁✊🥋
Hey brother! Trying to contact you. Let me know the best or more convenient way.🙏
hello brother! how are you? hope all is well. unfortunately i dont have any social media account save for this channel. I deleted my FB account 7 yrs go. are you ok? you need anything brother?
@@bladesociety Yes brother all is well. Wanted to get in touch because there is very good possibility that I can travel to the Philippines in the very near future to research and learn; and of course I have always highly admired your skills and content throughout the years. My first thought is to contact you to find out if it would be possible to finally meet and learn from you and your group. I respect your privacy, so I can give you my contact info to continue our chat, if that is ok with you. Thank you for your contribution to the martial arts. Much respect brother!
@@Untarai brother, you are too kind! I'm touched and deeply honored that you are considering me to learn from. unfortunately, I now live in a provincial area in the country, far from Luneta in Manila, which is the center of FMA in Luzon (one of the 3 major islands). Other places you may consider are Negros and Cebu. Maybe I can help set you up to train with my friends?
@@bladesociety Ah! I understand brother. Yes, it would be great to train with your friends! I plan to go back to Thailand soon and after taking care of some things there during the summer I think it would be a great opportunity to finally get to the Philippines. Let's keep in touch and hopefully make it happen. Feel free to email me any time! Looking forward to it!
@@Untarai Thank you so much, I was so afraid I would offend you. Thank you so much brother!
Close to hacking their hands off, but at least they wear masks
Yep, masks are government mandate where we're from.Thank you for watching, mate. Keep safe!
