Warriors Eskrima and cross training?

KitEskrima · 09-13-2005, 07:18 PM

Hi all
My name is Kit Lok,I practice the Warriors Eskrima system under Simon Campion in Manchester UK,our Chief Instructor is Pangulong Guro Krishna Godhania.

I have been practicing Eskrima for three years now and I am enjoying it. I am also cross training in other Martial Arts.
I wrote a blog on what Martial Arts I do and update it weekly with pictures from my Eskrima class:

I was wondering if anyone else cross trains in Martial Arts and what they do?
Thanks
Kit

Hello Kit,

Glad to see you enjoy training in Warriors Eskrima! Guro Krishna and I are good friends through Sayoc Kali and he is of the highest caliber, so I do not doubt his Instructors are as well.

I cross train in many martial arts from Boxing, Muay Thai, through several styles of FMA's. Cross training can improve your understanding of many universal principles in the various arts as well as give you another arts perspective on fighting tactics. I keep extensive notes and video files on what I do for future reference as well. (I have an article up on my website about this aspect of training).

Hi
Thanks for the reply!I am quite honoured for a Gumagalang Guro such as yourself to post a reply!. I am glad you know Krishna so well. Yes at first cross training for me was done because it was like a hobby to do as many different Martial Arts as possible but now I am seeing benefits of learning several systems.
I totally agree with your comments and I am trying to keep notes of all I learnt through my blog and also private notes. My brother and I are also avid collectors of different tapes and dvds on Martial Arts training.
Again thanks for your reply
Kit

Hi Guro Steve Lefebvre
My filipino language needs to be improved as I wrote in my reply to you Guro Steve Lefebvre
"I am quite honoured for a Gumagalang Guro such as yourself to post a reply"
I apologise as I now know Gumagalang means "respectfully yours" I apologise for my reply as somehow I got confused!

Hello Kit,

Just finished reading all of your Blog great work! Are you coming to the Sayoc Kali seminar October 22nd and 23rd? It would be a great opportunity to meet you! Ask Guro Krishna all the details, it will be a great 2 day training event!
