| Unique
to the Filipino martial arts is the fact that, unlike other oriental
martial arts, students learn the weapons first before moving on to
the empty hands. The reason? ... A lot of the empty hand techniques
come from either the knife, sword & dagger, single or double stick
movements. Essentially, drilling with double weapons naturally increases
empty hand co-ordination and sensitivity of both arms in equal measure.
