By Grandmaster Tony Somera In the art of Giron Arnis Escrima; estilo de abanico refers to a bolo knife defense that-with the flick of the wrist-wards off strikes or thrusts coming from the front. This is one of the fastest motions used to deflect an attack; allowing the defender time to reposition himself in a more favorable location or posture. Counterstriking is included; with the emphasis on the tip of your weapon to get the maximum amount of power in short and powerful striking ranges. In many instances; shifting the weight of your body laterally from side to side; during the movement; is necessary to effect the abanico style.
