What do think the Knights of Escrima is?
When you think of the word knight what comes to mind? To me, the concept of knight was to be a protector of the weak and defender against hostile forces and a leader among men. What is your thoughts?

Hi Marc,
This is Master Art Miraflor of Knights of Escrima. For over 15 years I had a boys group called, "The Christian Knights". This was a mix of Boys Scouts and ROTC. I derived the Knights from this group for my school, because I thought it would be apropereit, being the word could mean: protector of the faith, the kings most trusted and closest guardians of the palace, the warriors of the village. I really wanted to give it a original twist since the Filipino Martial Art's gets its roots from Spain and the Knights. -

FMA has mixed roots one side of it being from Spain and other from South East Asian cultures that settled in the Philippines. I find it interesting that the concept a Datu as local chief both still had his trusted guardians of Barangay. This concept was found thoughout Southeast Asia before the time of the Spanish.
