Human Weapon

Colonel Ecama: (referring to a solider in dense jungle) There are times that you don't have time to pick up your rifle, you don't have time to pick up your pistol, and its too close... you can use your knife.

Bill Duff: (referring to an Eskrima move called Baliog Pomali) An average man's neck can withstand about a 140 foot-pound affliction moment, beyond that soft tissue, even vertebrae can be crushed. By bringing your weight down fast this move can easily deliver twice that amount of force.

Jason Chambers: (after walking into the Eskrima arena) These people are here to see chaos and carnage... they want some blood, blood! Bill Duff: Now I know what the gladiators felt like in Rome.

Jason Chambers: With Eskrima sticks, as opposed to other martial arts, the sticks here are just an extension of your hands. In other martial arts the sticks are strictly used as a stick, drop that stick and you don't have that technique anymore, with Eskrima you still have the same angles and attacks.

Jason Chambers: (right after his Eskrima match) Holy crap, am I sore! I feel like I got into a car accident, without the car!

Jason Chambers: (talking about his Eskrima match with Perceval) For every shot I landed, he landed two. Every blow hit with enough force to bruise bone.

Jason: (referring to his upcoming Eskrima match) We trained old school, so we wanted to fight old school. No armor, instead our competition sticks would be metal rods wrapped with thin padding... this was going to hurt.
