Arnis Week 2

Cardinal rules of arnis, equipment used in arnis and terms


Cardinal Rules or Principles in Arnis
• By nature man is never violent. Unless otherwise affected by some
physical or psychological affliction, or forced by outside reasons or
provocations, no man will harm a fellow human being (or animal for
that matter) let alone feast on their physical sufferings. Man is an
"institution" of love and kindness.
Cardinal Rules or Principles in Arnis

• The cardinal principle in Arnis is


respect for one's opponent as a
person and as a fighter, and as a
sportsman. It should always be
remembered that an opponent is a
human being with a dignity as you
have and worthy of respect.
Cardinal Rules or Principles in Arnis
• Besides these cardinal principles, there are other principles in Arnis that
the students, must remember these are: Character, sincerity, discipline,
self-control, etiquette and student's loyalty to his tutor.
Character
• a ruffian has no place in Arnis let alone in sports.
Refinement in character is important. A student must
be taught the moral (and religious) values of
everything. It is an obligation of the teacher of Arnis
to mold the character of the student in such a way
that his behavioral structure would be motivated by
righteous desire. It is what a man is that counts not
the number of trophies he won. In spite of the
abetted fallacies of values of the present world, it is
who you are that will matter in the end.
Sincerity

• sincerity for victory's sake is not the all--consuming end of an Arnis player. It is
the sincerity in him to his fellowman and to his art that makes him shine in the
array of men. The will to win maybe inculcated, but such tutelage should never
end after the tick of the ultimate second in the game but beyond the canvass and
the arena of competition. The martial art of Arnis, it should be remembered, is a
good medium of development man's sense of dedication in all his everyday
endeavor and involvement. Sincerity, is the mother of trust and trust makes an
institution of what has been shattered by doubts. A man who is not sincere will
never have a true friend.
Discipline
• Arnis is a molder of discipline. Proper
behavior in the sport and in life itself will
be the gauge of success. Personal
discipline is important. The kaleidoscopic
invitations and temptations of life should
never undermine man in his obligation to
his art, to himself and his fellowman. A
student should learn to control himself in
the pursuance of his goal, not only to his
art but also to life in general.
• losing one's head means defeat. One should learn to
control his temper if he hopes to achieve success in
every endeavor. In Arnis, self-control is important
for without it, life and the good health of another
may be lost. The possession of an ability to kill or
main a person should be handled with extreme
caution and prudence. Man's clear perception of
things is anchored on his ability to control the
outbursts of his inner self. Provocation is
Self-control dishonorable but hasty reaction to it is just as
dishonorable if not despicable.
Etiquette
• Etiquette is allied to the main cardinal rules in arnis. One's norm and
standard should never be imposed upon others. One should learn how to
respect others. Giving credence to the standard and ability of another
person should or will best prepare anybody in any endeavor. The pacific
waters of human understanding will stay unruffled if exercise of proper
etiquette and respect whether it be in sporty competition or in life itself is
observed.
Student's loyalty
• loyalty should be emphasized to the student, loyalty to the art, to a fellow
player, and to his teacher. Ingratitude to one is ingratitude to the other. A
student should be loyal to a fellow player because any disloyalty to him is
disloyalty to the art itself. More important, a student should be loyal to his
teacher. Everything one has learned is owned by him to his teacher. Personal
whims should never cause one to be ungrateful to where he owes everything he
knows. Even if the ultimate aim of the art is already achieved by a student that
he can now manage on his own, he should never forget the teacher who labored
for him. In the skirmishes of things, the student should be always loyal to him.
