Martial Arts Topics / Florete in Pekiti
« on: October 15, 2003, 01:48:04 PM »
I know there a few Pekiti guys on the board (including Crafty). I was wondering why PT calls the circular doubling attacks 'Florete'.  On the PTI website it describes it as petals.  In Kalis Ilustrisimo, florete refers to thrust atacks and in spanish florete is the equvilant of epee.  A can see the connection between how the Ilustrisimo use the term and the origin of the word but not in PT. Or is there no connection.


thanks,
