“One topic in my hobbies is Filipino Martial Arts and one aspect of this hobby is obscure Espada Y Daga. When looking at FMA material, I am only interested in the essential aspects of it, from many FMA systems and styles. I’ve never been happy or satisfied with just one. Thus the pursuit of the raw essentials. What are the universal essentials of Espada y Daga, with stick, with knife, to and from all FMA systems? Since training in many systems in FMA since 1986, I believe I have collected an essential, combatives package on this subject. Unlocked it, organized it and even de-mystified it as much as I can.” - Hock
