Greetings fellow FMArtists. I am fairly new to the FMAs and wanted to better understand the difference in various styles in Escrima. I have the opportunity to train in the LAMECO system through private "back yard" instruction and wanted to gather more insight on this system.

The grappling arts imply most fights end up on the ground. The striking arts imply all fights start standing up. The clinching arts imply the clinch can stop the striker from striking, and the grappler from taking it to the ground. The weapon arts imply the they can stop the unarmed man. A complete martial art implies any fight can go anywhere...be ready and able to go everywhere.
I've never had the honor of traiing with Edgar Sulite, but he definitely had an understanding of fighting and coresponding principles. Check them out, and take a look at some of his tapes if you get the chance. I never really caught on to what he was syaing until I actually fought.
