Latigo y Daga

Latigo y Daga

Latigo y Daga literally translates "Whip and Dagger" in Spanish. It is a
Filipino martial art which focuses on the use of flexible weapons, particularly whips. It combines elements from a multitude of martial arts found in
Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia.

Training

The "Latigo y Daga" system was formulated in 1987 by Tom Meadows. Through his research and experience working with various whips in conjunction with multiple martial arts systems and styles, he formed "Latigo y Daga" and developed a standardized vocabulary for whip techniques. This greatly aided practitioners with the continued development of the art. The primary aspects of "Latigo y Daga" are the use of the 4-ft. short whip, the combination of using a dagger with whip, and using the empty hand with a whip.

Today

Some of the more prominent practitioners of "Latigo y Daga" are Dan Inosanto, Ron Balicki and Anthony De Longis.
