Some more terminology showing up in my background.
Sinawali:Literally means "to weave" in eskrima it's a technique used to coordinate the left and right side of the body interchanging from offensive and counter offensive strikes when using any 2 weapons at the same time.
Sayaw:A Cebuano word meaning "to dance" it's often applied to an eskrimador practicing with weapons as it can demonstrate the weaving movements of the sinawali in flow.
Agos--Literally "flow" teaches the 3 types of energy in Kali:fluid,broken,and circular. _________________ “If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”

There are alot of styles that you could be referring to here Marx. To name a few you could be talking about the Chinese jian or double-edged straight sword which is used in styles such as Tai Chi(of which there are 5 main branches and multiple smaller ones from those 5),Wudang sword arts,and modern wushu(which Jet Li practices) to name a few.There's also the rapier from fencing, and the Korean goem. As well as the kampilan of the Philippines.
To put it mildly, you may need to narrow down the field a little bit and just have a an area such as China,Europe,etc. when asking such a broad question.
To answer your side note I've been studying martial arts for 25+years but alot of the styles also came from friends of mine and our teachers. _________________ “If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”

Thank you I greatly appreciate the comment Marx.But to be honest it was more of mental fortitude rather than physical stamina and discipline that got me through my training. _________________ “If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”

If you are doing material arts for that long, how many times did you have to use in real life and did you became a champion or master? _________________ Avatar: http://forums.pleasurebonbon.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7830

I've used my skills alot considering I spent time in areas where if you don't know what you're doing you'll find yourself lying in the streets bloody and dead and nobody caring about it. As far as being a champion I didn't involve myself in any contests for 2 reasons.1)Competitions usually have rules,safety gear,and officials who can stop a fight if necessary as opposed to being in the real world where there are no rules,safety gear,or officials to stop a fight.2)Competitions are more focused on wining medals than what they were used for traditionally,a way to learn different skills from different people.And I don't consider myself a master at all.I consider myself a student with alot of knowledge. _________________ “If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”

"Arise! Awake! Approach the great and learn. Like the sharp edge of a razor is that path,so the wise say-hard to tread and difficult to cross." Upanishads 3:14
I debated about posting this but my answer to Marx's first question kinda brought it up.I often say that I encourage people to ask questions and post comments but now I need to start setting some guidelines for them.
1)When asking a question about martial arts I need to have a general idea of what you're looking for and a region(e.g. China,Japan,etc.)
2)Modern or 20th-21st Century martial arts will not be posted save for references and uses in other threads not pertaining to BonBon.
3)Keep in mind it takes a great deal of time for me to translate and post or even call my friends and remaining masters for the info(timezones are a bitch to deal with).
4)This is more or less meant for any time I post things related to ninja and Kunoichi.I hold a nidan or second-degree blackbelt in Togakure-ryu under Soke(Grandmaster) Hatsumi Masaaki.I'm not saying this to be a dick but people need to realize I know how ninja operate. I do appreciate that you're trying to answer my questions but I already the answers.
