Eskrima on History Channel

[VeeVee]

Here are screen shots of an episode of Human Weapon from the History Channel. It featured Eskrima (aka Arnis - stick/knife/barehands martial arts of the Philippines). It was a pretty good episode, I learned a lot. They showed a Philippine Marine counter-terrorist unit drilling with bolos in eskrima practice.

See if you guys can catch a re-run.

They have a teaser/preview video of this in the History Channel website:

I saw it Friday night too and regretted not taping it. I know they will replay it again and tape it. It was really well made episode on Philippine martial Arts. Wresttling a carabao is bit overboard I wonder if it was just for the American cameras

I wonder what has happened to Arnis?
