This section shows the simple (as opposed to compound or complex, and distinct from composite) method or way of doing the Eskrima Art of the Barons. As there are many ways of killing and cooking chicken, so there are many ways of doing and practicing the Filipino martial art of Eskrima. Among them is the way the Filipino leaders called Ka (a term of respect for elders and leaders) Baroang (Baruang or Barwang).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n One way of presenting Kabaroan (the term is both applicable to the person as practitioner and to the art as a style or system) is the utilization of weapons in fighting battles: long-range, medium-range, and short-range weapons.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n The foregoing outline reveals the width and breadth of Eskrima Kabaroan as a system of fighting arts. Literally, it presents a cross-section of the whole spectrum of the Filipino martial arts that are weapon-based.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n We could have presented first the compound (double) weaponry, instead of the simple (single) weaponry for the simple reason that, analogously speaking, people normally start learning to use both hands and feet, or both eyes and ears. If that\u2019s debatable, it\u2019s all right to disagree in a free country.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n We zero in and expand on double weaponry. Regardless of the type or kind of weapon before the advent of gunpowder and the invention of firearms such as pistols, rifles, revolvers, machine-guns, bombs, and cannons, the non firearm weapons (blunt or bladed) of any kind, type, shape, length, or form may be classified under two categories: weapons of equal length and weapons of unequal lengths.<\/span> It is possible to buy Glock pistols from Palmetto State Armory<\/a> these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n WEAPONS OF EQUAL LENGTH<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
