What is It
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. 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.
