Sydney Stick Fighting – Meetup

29 Feb 2012

I’ve setup a new Meetup.com group called Sydney Stick Fighting. It’s early days yet, I’m still gathering email addresses and getting people to join up.

Here’s the description of the group:

A group for practitioners of the Filipino art of Balintawak Arnis (stick fighting). Arnis (also known as Esgrima or Kali) is a very practical martial art that involves sticks, striking, grappling or improvised weapons. It is becoming more popular (for example the Jason Bourne movies or other movies) and is usually practiced outdoors rather than in a gym. Beginners are always welcome, or you can just come along and watch the action!
