I. Interesting things or information about Arnis

Arnis is a deadly form of Original Filipino self-defense, which basically uses the garote; usually rattan
sticks as the main weapon and as extension of the hands to maximize reach and power. The bare hand
(which is usually the left) is used as necessary support to the right hand in the absence of another stick or
dagger. In other cases or styles, two sticks or swords are used. Otherwise empty hands may also be used
as effectively as when there are weapons. However, the stick is said to travel ten times faster than the
empty hand. At will the Arnis fighter may paralyze or kill an opponent. Other forms of the Arnis System
include "Espade Y Daga" (sword & dagger) "Daga Y Daga" (dagger & dagger) "Mano Mano" (bare-
hand-fighting. "Doble Baston" (double sticks), "Sikaran" (Kick fighting)", etc. Unlike other martial arts
ARNIS has no age limit. It can be practiced by a ten-year old or a ten-decade old person with the same
efficiency. Constantly practiced, ARNIS knows "no Downhill". Contrary to misperceptions Arnis is a
very intelligent form of exercise and self-defense. It is never violent, and it is actually bloodless.
