The double sticks can be used in the same manner as the single stick, and can also develop all the attributes that a single stick trains.
Double stick motions are interchangeable with stick and dagger, stick and also empty hand exercises.
Double dagger can be employed in a variety of ways offensively, either by thrusting with the front dagger and raking with the rear dagger or by adapting amara (stick twirling) to suit the daggers.

Twirling (amarra) techniques are taught to develop wrist strength and coordination, which facilities the ability to generate power and re-angle the wrist evasively at short range.
One of the most fundamental solo olisi drills is the abesedario, a comprehensive defense/counter-strike drill, the seven levels of which are designed to develop movement/angling, checking (if applicable), and countering in each of the three ranges.
Similar in format to the solo olisi, but the weapon is a short blade.
Espada Y Daga -emphasis of footwork and body angling in coordination with Olisi and dagger and easily connect to locks and takedown
Locks and Takedowns (Eskrido with the use of Olisi (Stick) techniques to lock and takedown/throw (whether the attacker is unarmed or wields a blade or olisi)
Mano y Mano using the same patterns of olisi technques, with emphasis of open palm blocks and counter strikes, utilizing the very effective "kaw-it" technqiues.
While this is true, he was exposed to Filipino martial arts many times by me and, although he may not have put it into his personal system of combat, he did on many occasions practice with me the single stick, double stick and olisi toyuk (nunchaka).
Many people say I taught him the olisi toyuk (nunchaka), single stick and double stick.
So, in my opinion, he practiced the Eskrima and Kali on a small scale to research it, and to put elements of the nunchakas, double stick and single stick in his movies.

The Filipino martial arts is diverse in nature incorporating a multitude of weapons - single and double stick (Olisi), knife (baraw) and empty hand (mano mano) techniques.
The full contact stickfighting tournament is a way for the practitioner to test their skills and explore techniques to see what works and what does not.
Note - this is a fight and a participant must be able to defend themselves and takes responsibility for their safety.
I want to learn more, double dagger, staff, sarong, I know drills and tech's from all areas but I want to become more well rounded.
The Double Dagger section to me is very weird, But thats where the empty hands is from.
I have to admit, I'm not where I should be with the rest of the list, but I tend towards the practical, and so focusing great energy on staff, bullwhip, and sword and shield methods doesn't hold the same day-to-day practicality for me. I don't ignore it, but I certainly don't focus on it either.

Enabling the practitioner to muster the movements,angles of attack and combat applications, preparing them for further weapons and empty hand advancements
DOUBLE STICKS-(Doble Baston) a more advanced stage of the F.M.A.'s.
But the "double stick" weapons usage is much more than "sinawali"or as they say weaving and "sayaw" or forms.It is a combination of two weapons that can maim an oppenent as quick as a wink,if mastered....it is one of the most lethal "largo"(Long Range) weapons variation in the F.M.A.'s.

Tunnettuja katutappelupelejä vuosien varrelta ovat Double Dragon -sarja, Streets of Rage -sarja ja Ninja Warriors.
Kaksintaistelupeleistä tunnettuja ovat olleet esimerkiksi Street Fighter ja Mortal Kombat -sarja sekä aikanaan kolmiulotteisen grafiikan tähän genreen tuoneet Virtua Fighting ja Tekken.
Neverwinter Nights toi mukanaan perinteisistä roolipeleistä tutun pelinjohtajan, mutta peli ei ole kuitenkaan täysin vastannut odotuksia eikä se ole mullistanut pelityyppiä sillä tavoin kuin olisi toivottu.
The FMAs are sometime lumped as KEA (Kali-Eskrima-Arnis) or other variants such as Arnis de Mano, Escrima, Esgrima, etc. BTW: Eskrima is sometimes spelled Escrima but since there was no letter "c" in the official Filipino alphabet from 1930-1976, that spelling should be avoided.
The FMAs system is also referred to as a EandD (espada y daga, Spanish for sword and dagger), SDMS (Single Double Mano System, and its sub-categories of SMS and DMS), etc.
These are patterns usually for double stick but can be adapted for single stick, empty, etc.
Or to just get better at defending a certain angle for attribute development.
A lot of knife sparring with methods of sparring such as knife Vs knife, double knife Vs knife and double knife Vs double knife and most importantly empty hand Vs knife is done.
