Knife and Gauntlets

This is our first time using the mma gloves with new members. Mostly I did this because I knew the background of these fighters.

Father vs son 2

Here is the other son fighting his stepdad.

Father vs son

Our friend from the high school days decided to join us after his sons joined and this is his first fight. This is a real testament to the toughness of the calimacil weapons.

Paired weapons vs single weapon

Here our friend Greg is trying out a mace/dagger combo and proves why it is better to have that secondary weapon. As someone once said " I believe in the chi in my stick better than the chi in my hand."

Fighting the Bear

One of our club guests brought a friend who wanted to fight so I paired the two up. Immediately it started unexpectedly and was one of the most entertaining fights of the day. The big guy has had extensive martial arts experience in Juijitsu.

Eskrimador vs wrestler

I wanted to see how the eskrimador would fare against a wrestler but the amount of contact proved rather disappointing as well as how many openings were not taken such as the face.

Eskrimador vs Bat

Here one of our club members fighting a club guest that represents a local eskrima school. We are hoping that the full contact fights will influence others to do the same.
