Knife Eskrima
Kali/Eskrima in the Bourne movies?
In the special features on the DVD's of the Bourne movies they talk about the martial arts and fighting styles used by Jason Bourne, and they say its mostly Kali and some Jeet Kune Do. My question is this: Every time I look up Kali or see it on TV (Fight Quest, Human Weapon) they show the knife/stick fighting side of the art. I know Kali is known for its knife fighting techniques, but Jason Bourne uses a lot of disarms, locks, traps and strikes, he doesn't fight with knives.
So is there a specific branch of Kali/Eskrima that focuses on those hand to hand combatives? Or is he just using other martial arts techniques?
Kombatan, Panuntukan, and Dirty boxing ,also yaw-yan (a Filipino style of Muay thai fighting)to name a few. There are many branches but ultimately all FMA (Filipino Martial Arts) ends up being empty hand( the stick is the extension of the hand).
FMA is not just weapons, i suggest to research more about it.Do not rely on the answers here, you are being misled.
Hope you find the truth.
