Weapons Complimenting FreeHand

SamuraiGuy · 07-10-2004, 11:45 PM

Looking for advice on a weapons system or a good weapon to use to compliment Muay Thai Freehand fighting. For combat oriented usage...
This wold be second to Muay Thai and wouldnt take up the majority of my time.... any recomendations or opinions are wanted though, dont plan on carrying it around outside home ,but it would be nice to have knowledge of .... thanks.

Any of the variations on Filipino or Indonesian Martial Arts would work and I do believe Thailand has some weapons systems of its own that would probably incorperate well.

Arnis footwork is very simular to MT footwork. I have done both and they compliment eachother very well. Also Krabi Kabong is the system that MT came from and they employ some cool weapons, so the are the best match.

Yeah i dunno what Arnis is lol... but I'll look into the other one, thanks

Arnis is the most popular filipino martial art, it sometimes called Escrima and a few peoples use the word Kali for it. Arnis and silat are in my opinion the best arts for weapon fighting.

Burmese Bando has also some nice weapon training but it may be difficult to find instruction.

Give this a try, i believe that this is exactly what you are looking for.

Krabi Krabong. We often supplement our Kali training with this. Buy the tape, the techniques are simple and effective.
