Hey everyone. I'm starting up with martial arts again, and am wondering if you thing that taking Arnis lessons once or twice a week, with my Judo classes on other days, will help with my standup hand to hand fighting. Basically, if anyone knows whether or not Arnis is effective in Mano y Mano fighting as a complement to groundfighting, gimme an idea. Also, do most FMAs spar? Thanks, cluebird
it depends on the system. some fma are "complete": it has weapons, striking (hands and feet), and grappling. most fma has two of the three. most fma has free sparring. with armor, little armor, or no armor. padded weapons or live weapons. partial contact, full contact or juego todo.
