    ARNIS

    Arnis is considered as an extreme martial art technique which includes


    weapon teaching like solo baston (training in single stick), doble baston (double
    stick) and technique espada y daga (stick and knife blade training).

    The two brothers who should be given credit for the development of Arnis
    in the Philippines are Remy and Ernesto Presas. The father of Modern Arnis is
    Remy Presas. He wrote the first book in Arnis that is considered as the “bible”
    among physical education teachers.
    When the Spaniards began colonizing the Philippines, they saw an
    already developed weapons-based martial arts practice by the natives.

    WHAT IS THE NATURE AND BACKGROUND OF ARNIS?

    Arnis is only known as a traditional Filipino martial art. Its origin in the
    culture and history of the Filipino people is still unknown. It remains unclear
    because there are no written documents. It is believed that the Spaniards
    destroyed and prohibited the practice of martial arts. During the Spanish time,
    this kind of self-defense or art of fighting involves the use of the following: one
    stick, paired stick, a long and short stick, and a sharp weapon. These were used
    even before the Spaniards came to the Philippines.

    Lapulapu is known to be the first master of Arnis because he fought and


    won the battle with Magellan and his men not with a hail of bullets but with
    wooden instruments, spears and bolos. Even though the Spanish soldiers had
    more weapons, they were unsuccessful and their weapons were useless. With
    the wooden arms of Lapulapu and his warriors, Magellan lost that battle at the
    same time losing his own life.

    Miguel Lopez de Legazpi had recognized the skills of the Filipinos in martial
    arts and in stick and sword fighting. Some evidence showed that the Filipinos
    were also using the art of Arnis in some stage plays like Moro-moro and some
    Muslim dances even before the Spaniards ruled the Philippines.
    Arnes de mano came to be known by this term due to its Spanish
    influence. The term originated from the Spanish word arnes, which means
    “trappings” or “defensive armor.”
    Arnis was declared as the Philippine National Martial Art and Sport on Dec
    11, 2009 through Republic Act 9850 signed by Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
    As per R.A 9850, the official adoption of Arnis as the national martial art and
    sport shall be promulgated by inscribing the symbol of Arnis in the official seal of
    the Philippine Sports Commission and by making it the first competition to be
    played by participating teams on the first day of the annual Palarong
    Pambansa. The Philippine Sports Commission is the leading agency to
    implement the provisions of this act.

    WHAT IS THE PROPER GRIP AND COURTESY IN ARNIS?

    Hold the stick using your four fingers with the blade of the palm two to
    three inches away from the base of the baston or stick. The thumb is over the
    forefinger. You should have a firm grip or hold on the baston when striking it.

    Courtesy bow is part of the ritual of arnis, just like with the other forms of
    martial arts. It is done by bowing which shows courtesy to one’s opponent or
    sparring partner in arnis.
