The Filipino arts is all about simplicity.

I learned Escrima (Kali) from my family with an emphasis on dumog and double/single sticks. I'm also okay with a balisong but am more comfortable fighting single stick as I use it for trapping and grappling.

I would think the trapping techniques more resembled JKD, or Vice Versa, but since Kali was around before BJJ and JKD both (unless I"m mathematically mistaken), I would say they resemble it.

Kali has a lot of very practical principals as well in it's teachings of fundamental lessons. Like in knife-fighting. How they say never attempt to stab deep into the person's body from the outside when it makes more sense to cut the thing that's closest to you, the hand, the knee, the finger, etc.

Lessons like that can translate to any aspect of multi-dimensional tactics.

JKD is Bruce lee's invention. Bruce studied styles like Mantis, Kali, etc, which all use trapping techniques. so you can see why.

I'm not sure how much of it is kali based, but I know that Gene Lebell has an instructional out for law Enforcement only that is street-situation grappling with a club. it's supposed to be law enforcement restraint trapping and grappling so cops don't get sued for beating people into submission, instead they use their batons to (I assume) tie arms up, fang choke, etc.

haha. no matter how you train cops, you know that that doesn't happen that often. sure there are times that they do things like they are supposed to, but there are many times that they dont.

Can you blame them? Their life is at stake, and they never know what the arrestee's intentions are. So they freak out like everyone else.
