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
traditionall 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.
50
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.
