Abaniko

Abanico (also Abaniko, "fan ") is a percussion technique with a blunt or sharp weapon that is used in the Filipino martial arts such as Arnis. It is a fast rotation of the arm about its longitudinal axis similar to the movement, with the one generated with a fan an air flow. If the Abanico performed with a bladed weapon, hits the broad side of the blade the target.

If the rotation of the forearm Abanico combined with an arm motion, the gun moves in a three-dimensional curve (as opposed to one-dimensional and the two-dimensional random shock), which makes the defense of this technique difficult. On the other hand, the impact force is much smaller than that of a shock. Therefore Abanicos be used mainly to irritation of the opponent or in preparation for an effective hit.
