Martial art styles using 2 daggers?

Posted at: 2014-09-13 
Many methods of kung fu have double-dagger sets. Choy Li Fut in particular springs to mind, but there are many others as well.

Filipino escrima teach you to primarily fight with 2 impact weapons. Though the skills of impact weapons will transfer to swords in a secondary sense. Some FMA emphasis edged weapon dominantly over hands or impact weapons as primary but those schools are less widespread than the common escrima.

You could try Indian martial arts using katal daggers, basically similar to pugilism except you have daggers as fists instead of knuckles.

Wing chun butterfly knife training is also good though it focuses not as much on circular motion, rather straight confined space techniques in accordance with centerline principles. It's not bad, in some places learning to use edge in closed space could serve an advantage if who you're facing cannot swing or spin around closed places.

Nothing is that easily learned. Anything really takes dedication to get beyond the basics. Though fighting with one dagger also has good part in you could use your free hand to block, deflect, shield. 2 dagger has its advantage too.

Eskrima/arnis/kali comes to mind. It's a double knife/dagger art that also translates it's blade skills into empty handed skills and such.





Personally it's not my cup of tea, so I don't know any more than that. Do a bit of research and try searching kali on 'human weapon' or 'fight quest'. One of them had an episode on the art.

What are some martial art styles that use two daggers to fight?





Like, what's in my mind is having a dagger in each hand each dagger having a blade around 6 inches long. Does that exist? Like where the style would involve ducking swinging and lunging and spinning?





I don't know much about this stuff and I have been searching a lot and I can't find anything about it.





Preferable I would like a suggestion that can be easily learned as I will be attempting to learn it myself. If that's not really possible, some suggestions would be nice anyways with the names of some combat styles like I just asked for or anything that uses two knives really.





Thanks so much.
