Balintawak Escrima

Balintawak 2

We are extremely fortunate to be an authorized and certified Balintawak Escrima chapter school. Our school currently has three Level Six instructors and one Level Seven instructor who were personally trained, tested, and certified by Grand Master Bobby Taboada.

Balintawak Escrima is a Filipino martial art that focuses primarily on the use of one rattan stick, as compared to the two-stick methods often used in other Escrima and Arnis systems. Balintawak covers a wide range of techniques, including the 12 basic strikes, defense and counter, grouping, disarms, and butt strikes.

The concepts and principles of Balintawak are based on “Cuentada,” meaning counter-to-counter. The speed, power, and simplicity of the curriculum set it apart from other styles, especially in combatives and practical self-defense applications.
