IMO Kali-Silat/Escrima/Arnis should be a part of any good martial artists knowledge, at least the basics. Very effective if used properly, can grab common stuff lying around and use it just like the sticks you train with (rolled up magazines, broken chair legs, bottles, knives, machette, hell even a telephone with the cord ripped off would work). Can also have non-martial benefits, as it makes you practice being ambi-dextrous if you use 2 sticks, makes you use both sides of your brain more.
