HISTORY OF ARNIS

This martial art originated in the Philippines. The primary weapon used in this traditional martial art is the cane or
baton. It also involves hand to hand combat, grappling, and weapons disarming. Arnis was developed by the indigenous
populations of the Philippines who used an assorted range of weaponry for combat and self-defense. Arnis is otherwise
known as eskrima, kali and garrote, and by even more names in different Filipino regional languages. Encompassing both
simple impact and edged weapons, arnis traditionally involved rattan, swords, daggers and spears. In 1521, equipped with
nothing more than bladed weapons and their fearsome arnis abilities, Filipino islanders defeated Ferdinand Magellan’s
armored, musket-bearing Spanish conquistador forces when they tried to invade.

When the Spanish eventually returned and successfully conquered parts of the Philippines, the traditions of arnis
were preserved, despite its prohibition, in the forms of ritual dance, performance and mock battles. While earlier Filipino
martial arts were influenced by Spanish colonization, the modern forms have been affected by the country’s contact with
both the United States and Japan after gaining independence in 1898. Just over a century later, in 2009, the government of
the Philippines declared arnis to be the martial art and national sport of the Philippines.

It is a Filipino Martial art that can be performed individually or with a partner. Using a single stick or a pair of
sticks for striking and blocking. It was founded by Remy Presas and he used it as a self-defense system. Nowadays it is
considered as one of the events in Palarong Pambansa wherein Anyo is one of the popular one. It is a combination of pre-
arranged or choreographed striking, blocking and body shifting techniques.

Different styles of Arnis are now being practiced all over the world. Although not as popular as other oriental
martial arts, it is highly respected for its practicality and effectiveness in terms of self-defense and combat. In recent
South
East Asean Game 2019 the Philippine Arnis team wrapped up 14 gold medals that made them the champion. Since Arnis
began to develop an accessible story of Filipino cultural heritage, Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" Zubiri authored and
spearheaded the law declaring Arnis as the national sport of the country, which at that time was recently approved and
signed by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo into law which is Republic Act No. 9850. Today, the governing body of
Arnis in the Philippines is the PEKAF Philippine Eskrima Kali Arnis Federation and the Chairman is Senator Juan
Miguel Zubiri.

body should not be too low or extended otherwise; it will be hard to maneuver.

Ready Stance/ Handa
