    Topic: Arnis History

    Arnis is a Filipino martial art that dates back to pre-colonial times. It was
    developed as a means of self-defense against invading forces and has
    evolved throughout history to become a popular sport and form of physical
    exercise. The earliest written record of the art dates back to the 16th century,
    when Spanish colonizers noted the skill of Filipino warriors in combat. Over
    time, Arnis has incorporated elements of other martial arts, such as Judo and
    Karate, and has become an important part of Filipino culture. Today, it is
    practiced around the world and is recognized as a valuable tool for
    self-defense and personal growth.

    Pre-colonial period or before...

    Arnis origins

    Arnis, also known as Kali or Eskrima, is a form of martial art that originated
    in the Philippines. Its origins can be traced back to the pre-colonial period,
    long before the arrival of the Spanish in 1521. The art was developed as a
    means of self-defense against rival tribes and foreign invaders. It was also
    used for hunting and everyday activities such as chopping wood and
    farming.
    1521

    Spanish colonization

    The arrival of the Spanish in 1521 marked a significant turning point in the
    history of Arnis. The Spanish conquistadors banned the practice of Arnis,
    viewing it as a threat to their rule. Despite this, the art continued to be
    practiced in secret by the Filipino people. The Spanish also introduced
    their own martial arts, such as fencing, which would later influence the
    development of Arnis.
    Late 1800s

    Revival of Arnis

    In the late 1800s, Arnis experienced a revival thanks to the efforts of


    Filipino martial artists such as Jose Rizal and Juan Luna. They helped to
    preserve and promote the art, which had been in danger of being lost
    forever. Arnis was also taught to soldiers in the Philippine Revolution,
    where it was used to great effect against the Spanish.
    1930s-1940s

    Modernization of Arnis
    In the 1930s and 1940s, Arnis underwent a period of modernization.
    Grandmasters such as Remy Presas and Angel Cabales introduced new
    techniques and styles, incorporating elements from other martial arts such
    as karate and judo. This helped to make Arnis more accessible to a wider
    audience, and it began to gain popularity outside of the Philippines.
    1970s-1980s

    Arnis as a sport

    In the 1970s and 1980s, Arnis began to be recognized as a sport. The


    Philippine government established the Philippine Amateur Arnis
    Association (PAAA) to promote and regulate the sport. Arnis was included
    in the Southeast Asian Games in 1985 and has since been a regular event.
    Today, Arnis is practiced all over the world and continues to evolve and
    grow in popularity.
    2009

    Official National Sport

    In 2009, Arnis was declared the national martial art and sport of the
    Philippines through Republic Act No. 9850. This move further solidified its
    importance in Filipino culture and ensured the preservation and promotion
    of Arnis both nationally and internationally.
