    Arnis’: exercising the right to say no through


    disciplined self-defense
    By: 5 years ago

    As an arnisador (practitioner of arnis), it gives me joy to see other


    people getting interested in the Philippines’ National Martial Art and
    Sport, as declared by Republic Act No. 9850. Not because they have
    joined me in the bandwagon but because we are now one in the
    desire to practice and propagate arnis. As a form of self-defense, we
    all want to make ourselves prepared against attack and aggression.
    As a means of maintaining good health, arnis forms part of our
    physical fitness regimen.

    With the permission of their parents, my university students are


    now members of my SanDaTa (’Sang Daluhong na Tapang) Arnis
    Club. They know that trainings are free of charge and are conducted
    only after classes. I let them borrow some of my sticks, if they have
    none. It is very interesting to note that they are not the prominent
    students in the campus. They are not athletic, muscular or tall. But
    they have one thing in common: They are aware of the dangers that
    they may encounter every day. Many of them told me that they
    have already experienced threat and intimidation on the streets.
    One of them has been held up and her wallet and cellular phones
    were forcibly taken from her. I told her, together with her fellow
    members, that learning arnis or any other form of martial art does
    not give her the go-signal to always resist and fight an attacker. It
    is very important to first assess the situation, as fast as possible. It
    means that the victim must determine, as early as possible,
    whether the aggressor only intends to take her belongings or really
    desires to take even her life. Although one may be a well-trained
    practitioner, she must not put her life at risk just because she does
    not want to lose her material belongings. What is important is to
    preserve life. Hence, arnis and other martial arts are known as
    forms of self-defense. They are not used to bully or intimidate
    innocent and weak people.
    With regular training, an arnisador refines his skills and techniques.
    These, coupled with the desire to maintain peace inside and outside
    his home, give him the intelligence to determine imminent danger
    and the courage to confront attack and abuse. A practitioner says,
    “There is nothing so likely to produce peace as to be well-prepared
    to meet an enemy.” And I say: “All people have the right to say no
    to abuse and intimidation through self-defense techniques.”

    What Is The History of Arnis


    ARNIS – In this article, we will learn about the history and significance of
    the Filipino martial art, Arnis.

    Arnis is the national martial art sport of the Philippines. It is also known
    by the name Eskrima and Kali.

    The sport gives emphasis to weapon based fighting. This is often done
    using bladed weapons such as knives, sticks, and other improvised
    weapons. This martial art discipline also involves hand to hand combat,
    grappling, and weapons disarming. The primary weapon used in this
    traditional martial art is the cane or baton. Although the size of the cane
    varies, often times it is 28 inches long. The cane used is also considered
    sacred by Arnisadores. This is the reason why the cane is hit on the
    forearm or the hand when sparring. The sport was also acknowledged as
    a defensing sport by practitioners. Globally, Filipinos have been known
    for its blade culture that was birthed from this sport. But before it was
    famous as Arnis, the sport had a different name.

    The indigenous martial art was encountered by the Spanish during 1610.
    Back then it was known as Paccalicali-t to the Ibanags.
    It was also called  Didya to the Ilokanos, and Sitbatan or Kalirongan to
    Pangasinenses. The sport was also known as Sinwali (“to weave”) to
    Kapampangans.
    The word “Arnis” actually came from  arnés, which is an old Spanish
    word for armor. According to wikipedia, it is said to come from the
    armor costumes used in Moro-moro stage plays.
    Americans had first encountered Arnis during the Philippine-American
    War. This included events such as the Balangiga massacre.

    This was where the majority of an American unit was hacked to death or
    gravely injured by bolo-wielding guerrillas. This took place in 1901.
