Dacayana Eskrima

Zen Combat Fitness, a Mixed Martial Arts club in Bury Saint Edmunds, is proud to promote a local Mixed Martial Arts event featuring Dacayana Eskrima. Dacayana Eskrima is an art form that focuses on precision, timing, control, and more, developing a wide range of skills and attributes at all fighting ranges.

Eskrima, also known as Kali, Arnis, or Arnis de Mano, is the indigenous Martial Arts of the Philippines. With a history spanning 500 years, these Filipino Martial Arts have gained popularity in the UK and the USA, proving to be effective in real-life situations. Eskrima uniquely emphasises defending against knives and weapons, skills that are increasingly valuable in today's society.

Practicing Eskrima with Dacayana UK & Europe helps individuals develop essential skills such as speed, accuracy, timing, footwork, coordination, reaction speed, and the ability to flow with any attack. It is worth mentioning that Dacayana Eskrima has been featured in popular culture, including its use in The Bourne Movies and Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do.

Dacayana UK & Europe teaches a family system of indigenous Filipino Martial Arts directly from Grandmaster Jun Dacayana. As the only authorised group in the UK and Europe, this association has become an official Combat Art of the Philippine Army since 2019, expanding its teachings across Europe to military forces such as the Army, Navy, and Police.

Interested individuals can join Dacayana Eskrima by enrolling for one-to-one sessions or small group classes. For more information and enrolment, they can contact Sifu Norm Willis at 07720651200 or via email. The training times for Dacayana Eskrima include private lessons and group classes offered throughout the week, with no joining fee or contract.

The schedule consists of private lessons and different sessions for Jeet Kune Do and Grappling on various days of the week. Private lessons are also available on Fridays, while Saturdays and Sundays offer private lessons in the morning, followed by Jeet Kune Do and Grappling sessions.
