Keep Maestro Sonny Umpad's Visayan Style Corto Kadena Larga Mano Eskrima alive by learning online with assistance from an instructor. VSCK is blade based and emphasizes movement and evasion. Before his untimely death, many people had to travel the world just to train with Sonny but now VSCK is available to you here on Rooted. Round out your FMA learning experience by also learning folk dance, kulintang music, and baybayin script. Whether you’re Filipino or just appreciate Filipino culture this is a gathering place for you.

VSCK Eskrima focuses on precision, elusiveness, blade manipulation, timing and distance management. The hallmarks of VSCK are that it's blade-based, it values movement and evasion, randomness and improvisation, and its footwork is centered around the moro style that is characterized by its low stances. In the early stages, VSCK focuses on foundational fight principles then progresses into fight strategy and tactics. Expect a full arsenal of various lengths and variations of weaponry to move and flow with.
