[/FONT]
[FONT="]Most of the observations throughout [FONT="]Kali Escrima[/FONT] is the distinction between training with [/FONT][FONT="]doble baston[/FONT][FONT="], espada y daga, solo baston, knife and kuntao. This raises the question of whether to train with an Kali Escrima system focusing only on a certain weapon or training all the different Kali Escrima weapon combinations. [/FONT]
[FONT="]If you want to fast track your [/FONT][FONT="]Kali Escrima[/FONT][FONT="] learning time, then ADAPTATION is for you. Adaptation in [FONT="]Kali Escrima[/FONT] is the process of converting a technique from one weapon to another. Examples are double Kali Escrima stick to single [/FONT][FONT="]Kali Escrima stick[/FONT][FONT="], single stick to knife. I refer to adaptation as learning 5 [/FONT][FONT="]Kali Escrima weapons[/FONT][FONT="] simultaneously. [/FONT]
[FONT="]This means a single [/FONT][FONT="]Kali Escrima technique[/FONT][FONT="] can be utilized in all 5 Kali Escrima weapon combinations. This approach enables the Kali Escrima student to focus on the technique rather than on the weapon(s) used. If a practitioner is trained in double sticks and knows how to adapt it to empty hands, he/she simply adapts and applies the [/FONT][FONT="]double sticks[/FONT][FONT="] techniques to empty hands in [/FONT][FONT="]self-defense[/FONT][FONT="] situations. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Having a [/FONT][FONT="]Kali Escrima [/FONT][FONT="]mindset of adaptability also means that you can convert everyday ordinary things such as pens, umbrella, magazine, car keys, etc.. into [/FONT][FONT="]Kali Escrima weapons[/FONT] [FONT="]for self-defense and applying [/FONT][FONT="]Kali Escrima techniques[/FONT][FONT="] for that matter.[/FONT]
