Dacayana Eskrima System

The 12 Basic Strikes:

The 12 basic strikes are the building blocks of the system.
When practising the 12 basic strikes, it is good practise to relax, smile and walk like a cat.
All the time using good body mechanics to achieve speed and power.

Picture of the 12 basic strikes:

Dacayana’s FIVE consecutive strikes:

Picture of Dacayana’s FIVE consecutive strikes:

The five consecutive strikes can be done with the Eskrima Stick, Knife and Empty hand. They are fast strikes aimed at Kyusho points (Weak Spots) on the body.

The strikes can be made together with Dacayana System’s footwork or without it….
Below is a video of the five consecutive strikes with Master Ramil:

Dacayana Eskrima Wall Training:

The wall training is a way to more control over your techniques, it can also be used with the knife, Bolo/Sword or even Empty Hand…
Below is a video of Master Ramil doing the wall training:

Empty Hand Wing Chun drill:

The Dacayana Eskrima System uses Wing Chun Kung Fu as a part of their Empty Hand style, below is a video clip with Master Dacayana where he talks about the Empty Hand:

The Pocket Stick:

When you learn to use the Eskrima stick you also learn how to hit with the end of it and use the Pocket Stick, the Pocket Stick is a small Stick that can fit in your pocket and you use it to target Kyusho points on the body.

Below is a video clip with Master Dacayana where he talks about the Pocket Stick:

The Knife:

Picture of The 12 knife attacks and 4 attack angles:

Below is a video clip of me doing the Dacayana Eskrima 12 knife attacks:

We use two gribs:
1. Common (like a Eskrima Stick).
2. Reverse.

We change between these gribs by shifting grib fast so its possible to use both gribs in combat, below is a video clip of me show how we shift the grib:

When you look at the picture of the knife attacks, you will also notice that there is 4 attack angles (even that the most used is stabbing towards the stomach). These are the angles you could get attacked from with a knife:

1. From above….
2. From your side….
3. From the other side….
4. Below or straight inwards…..

We use above when we train technique, to train defense against all the angles.
