Assessment 1
Part 1. In a short essay, write the value of Arnis to our physical fitness and
national identity as Filipinos. Use extra sheet if needed. (20 points)
Arnis aims to teach us discipline and control. It gives us full body work out that
helps us improve our body’s stamina, balance, speed, strength and flexibility. Not only
with our physical body, Arnis also helps us spiritually and emotionally, it helps our minds
to meditate, eliminating bad energy and put us in a good mood while we execute this
sport. It also one of the best ways to burn your calories without you realizing that you
are losing weight. It’s best to do Arnis especially in times like this where we only do is sit
in front of our computers. It is also good for self-defense, you can protect yourself in
times of crisis when someone wants to harm you. With the number of various crimes
that’s in the news today, it is better to know this method of Martial Arts.
As I’ve said earlier, Arnis has its significant mark in the Filipino culture. It plays a
major role in the acknowledgement of Filipino indigenous people who pioneered the use
of weaponry in the earlier era. It also had been utilized as defense system of our Filipino
ancestors to fight off foreign threats and invaders of our land.
