It is a highly offensive art, almost constantly on the attack.
As to taking it to learn how to defend against it, I found that it is handy mostly because it will get you used to being on th wrong end of a stick or knife.

Many thanks for the response. The greatest problem for most martial arts is they don't look at all angles (if someone were to attack you with something entirely different than what you know). Frankly Escrima would be best for the disarming factor alone considering many times any type of item may not be available to attack with.
