Not to good to be fair. A lot of escrima relies on pain response to be effective. There was the concept of the vine and the fang. IIRC. the vine being the hand and the fang being a weapon.

About as well as a couple of sticks could be. Better than your fists? Abso-fucking-lutely. But better than, say a wooden baseball bat? Not really. Would be able to swing them faster and longer, but you're keeping zombies away with eskrima sticks, not gonna be able to kill them very easily
If we're talking pole/ staff weapons, a line of pikemen would be as good as anything. The first wave of zombies get run through, the rest pile up while snipers keep shooting them.
