This is just so I can have a foundation for writing as well as provide some cool cultural encounters for my character,Umbrage.
The martial art that she will be using is named Eskrima(or Escrima, Arnis, or kali. I went with the one with the K cause it rolls off the tongue better), a filipino martial art which has a starting foundation of weapons training before learning any unarmed techniques. The style has a great emphasis for fluid and consistent motion and encourages the user to explore which angles of attack could work best.
I have had some irl experience in it and was even shown disarming techniques that use a weapon as a catalyst for the movement to take place. However most of these were drills and I've also taken time seen its more practical application. This is also an excuse to have her in some way have some skills in dance. The drills while quite artful focus on the habitual memory of the art(like every martial art). As a fun fact the art was purposed for war as much of the practical application can lead to moderate if not severe injury.
