Spaniards arrived. During Spanish colonial
period, weapons had been banned in Luzon
and Visayas.
➢ Indios used sticks to practice wielding their
swords and bolos which they disguised as a
folk dance.

brought by our colonizers, arnis was
overshadowed and almost went out of the
spotlight.
➢ Luckily, with the rise of martial arts as a
popular sport during the 1980s, arnis was
able to recapture not of the Filipinos, but
also of the whole world in general.

by the late REMY PRESAS as a self-defense
system.
➢ The term Modern Arnis was used by Remy
Presas' younger brother ERNESTO PRESAS to
describe his style of Filipino martial arts; since
1999. Ernesto Presas called his system
KOMBATAN
➢ It is derived principally from the traditional Presas
family style of the Bolo (Machete) and the stick-
dueling art of Balintawak Eskrima, with influences
from other Filipino and Japanese martial arts.
➢ Arnis is a Philippines' national martial art or sport,
after Former President GMA signed the R.A. No.
