Escrima Classes in Oakland

Escrima All Levels Adults/Youth (15 +)

Escrima is the official National Martial Art and Sport of the Philippines. It emphasizes fighting using sticks and bladed weapons. At Baker's Martial Arts, we offer Escrima classes in our Oakland studio where we train with short wooden sticks that represent a variety of the weapons used in the traditional art.

Our Escrima classes are taught by Master Julius Baker, a 7th Degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do. After serving in the navy, Master Baker began his training in 1969 under Master Byong Yu, a renowned 9th Degree Black Belt from the World Tae Kwon Do Federation and Master Ken Youn. 

Baker's Martial Arts in Oakland provides children and adults with a family-like atmosphere to learn self defense, improve physical fitness, develop self confidence and be part of a broader community that makes up the vibrancy of Oakland and the San Francisco Bay Area. It is a martial arts school offering classes in Tae Kwon Do, Escrima, Tai Chi and self defense. Founded in 1980, the studio has been a training ground for successful practitioners, instructors and competitors for over 30 years. Escrima classes are available to all who wish to learn. Beginners welcome!
