 The History of Arnis dates back before the colonization
of the Spaniards, during those periods it was called Kali
and the techniques of the art is focused on bladed
weapons fighting. Kali was widely practiced throughout
HISTORY OF
the archipelago; both nobleman and commoners were
ARNIS
enthusiast and practitioners of the said art. Also during
those days Kali is being taught in a school like training
grounds, which was called Bothoan along with military
tactics, Alibata (Native Alphabet), and herbal medicines.
 ● Arnis was developed by the indigenous populations
of the Philippines, who used an assorted range of
weaponry for combat and self-defense.
Encompassing both simple impact and edged
weapons, arnis traditionally involved rattan, swords,
daggers and spears.
HISTORY OF
ARNIS ● 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
HISTORY OF Filipino martial arts were influenced by Spanish
ARNIS 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.
