Whats The Point?<br />

Escrima Pt 3<br />

By Paul O’Leary<br />

We are on to the third application in this series of Escrima techniques that can be found<br />

in the movements of Won Hyo or Pyong Ahn Ee Dan in this case. I’m not making a<br />

statement that these techniques were the intended applications or that they are better<br />

than original or official ones that are offered by TKD groups. Just that they seem to fit into<br />

the muscle memory we have developed from performing them over a period of time.<br />
