Arnis / Kali / Escrima

The indigenous Philippine Martial Art known as Arnis / Kali / Escrima is reputedly one of the deadliest martial art known to man in terms of armed and unarmed combat.  It entails the mastery of weaponry using bladed items such as swords, spears and knives, wooden sticks, wooden staffs and truncheons.  Local tribesmen have been using this art for hundreds of years and perfected them in their tribal warfare.

Under the Spanish occupation the practice of kali as it was known then was prohibited so the art was practiced secretly and sometimes hidden in the local cultural dances and folk plays. However, over time, Spanish fencing methods were incorporated into the indigenous fighting framework. Under the Spanish rule, the native art became known as escrima, estocada, arnis de mano or arnis.

Today, the Filipino martial arts assume different names in different regions. In the Manila area, the art is known as Arnis or Pananandata, Kalirongan in Pangasinan, Kabaro-an in the Ilocos region of Luzon, and Eskrima in the Visayas.
