Introduction Eskrimador is a documentary about a cultural sport in the Philippines and that is arnis also
known as kali or eskrima a structure of martial arts that mainly makes use of rattan sticks that emanated
from the island of Cebu, it is the national martial art of the Philippines. Kerwin Go is the writer of the
eskrimador documentary he shows the history of martial arts in the Philippines, the documentary carefully
and virtually tackles the history of the sport, entitling living legends of eskrima to reroute several
anecdotes, some of which are the stuff entertaining films are created of. It's all fascinating. Go’s the
juncture in Eskrimadors is more nominal self-congratulatory than it is exemplary, particularly when the
film’s way transposes in the rear where it senses like the film is grumbling the loss ofcultural treasure to
an assortment of globalization and the lack of local interest.
2. Plot Summary the Eskrimador is a documentary that conveys us a glance at our ancient old periods
in which it reveals our deadly martial arts, comprehended to be the Arnis or the Eskrima as it is called.
This documentary has conceivably pursued the refinement of our battling workmanship from its
underlying foundations in our ancestral fighting, to its expansion into a global sport in more than 30
countries around the world. Film on the island of Cebu, the ancestry of this battling craftsmanship. To
this day, Lapu-Lapu is put up into account as a national hero and plenty’s of Eskrima schools have
aroused his parable to renounce acclaim for their self-defense by honoring the distinctions of this
ancestral fighter . Though eskrima is more liked in other countries, our antecedents were also trying
to communicate with us through this documentary. We should never be overwhelmed by international
sports, and we should also hold up action in continuing the legacy that they have conveyed to us.
3. Description to the martial arts cognoscente, the documentary is something of a well-packaged
commendation to a sport that has stood sadly relegated locally as a mere interest when it has veered
around into a worldwide spectacle. To the uninformed in the field of martial arts, the documentary is told
relatively ingeniously, with a distinctly substantial description outpour, and an optical flair that outwits
the budgetary limitations of local autonomous presentation. It's entirely incredible filmmaking. Rather
than simply imparting researched proficiency, Kerwin Go embezzles the brisk cadence of eskrima into the
film. The editing is brilliantly swift. The music achieving is enraptured. The graphic effects used are
never unnecessary. Eskrimadors plays precisely like eskrima round, fast-paced, astonishing, and
invariably contemplating.
4.Analysis I consider myself to be a weak athlete who is not very interested in learning sports or any
martial arts that I have come across. Not until I got the chance to watch it as part of my physical
education class. I'll admit that I wasn't completely aware that this martial art was created by our ancestors,
which piqued my interest and gave me the need to watch the video right away. The documentary
attempted to chronicle the history of our own national sport and featured interviews with legendary
eskrima practitioners. Even though I'm not a huge fan of martial arts, I've grown to adore the
documentary. Although it is disappointing because eskrima has been "unfortunately reduced locally as
simple curiosity when it has actually evolved into a worldwide sensation." It is never enough to simply
engage in the visual experience and leave it as that, so if we have all enjoyed the film, I hope we can also
understand what the film is trying to tell us. It also requires work, therefore while it is still well-known,
we should promote our own cultural heritage.
5.Conclusion/Evaluation
The documentary, in my opinion, was trying to speak to our generation. They were attempting to bemoan
the fact that, despite the fact that many other nations adore our martial art, we have lost interest in and
have become far from our own culture. As a result, while viewing the documentary, I concluded that we
pose a serious threat to our national sport. While our forefathers worked so hard to build our community,
we failed to protect what they had left for us. We continued to cheer on other nations' sports when we
already had our own. I'm hoping that anyone who view this documentary will be inspired to continue
learning about arnis because I've recently been interested in it.
