HISTORY OF ARNIS

This martial art originated in the Philippines. The primary


weapon used 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 edge weapons,
arnis traditionally involved ratttan, 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-
being 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 or 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 choreograph 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, 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
14gold medals that made them the
champion.
Since Arnis began to developed 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 the time was
recently approved and signed by the
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.
