EN: to practice eskrima; to fence
This is the verb form of our national martial art. Think of action stars like Coco Martin or a classic Lito Lapid movie where they fight with rattan sticks. It's not just whacking each other; it's a whole system. When you 'mag-eskrima', you're either training or in a serious situation that requires you to channel your inner Pinoy warrior.
From Spanish 'esgrima' meaning 'fencing'.
Often used interchangeably with 'mag-arnis'. Eskrima is a specific form of Filipino Martial Arts (FMA).
