Wing Tzun vs. Latosa Escrima

- All distances. The system covers long range, mid range and body-to-body, adapting to whatever the encounter requires.

- A scientific, mathematical system - structure, geometry, sensitivity. Works regardless of size or strength.

- Distance
- Long to close. Starts at weapon range and stays effective as the distance closes.
