numberoneson I was looking into Escrima and Kali yesterday. is it a hard or soft style? Isn't Kali the style that they used in Bourne Identity? Can you tell me a bit about it and what you like and don't like about it?
I always wondered how styles hold up in real life situations and thought Kali would do well against an unskilled attacker. Would all styles do this? My concern is that if you find yourself in a confrontation that you couldn't get out of without defending yourself and the attacker is street brawling you - would your years of practice suddenly leave the brain or would it be there for you as 2nd nature? Also what if you years of training you find yourself stuck in some rhythm that is off balance in a real situation causing you to trip up.
