    ARNIS

    Arnis, also known as Kali or Eskrima, is the national sport and martial art of the Philippines.[2] The three
    are roughly interchangeable umbrella terms for the traditional martial arts of the Philippines ("Filipino Martial Arts", or
    FMA), which emphasize weapon-based fighting with sticks, knives, bladed weapons, and various improvised
    weapons, as well as "open hand" or techniques without weapons. It is also known
    as Estoque (Spanish for rapier), Estocada (Spanish for thrust or stab) and Garrote (Spanish for club). In Luzon it may
    go by the name of Arnis de Mano.
    The indigenous martial art that the Spanish encountered in 1610 was not yet called "Eskrima" at that time. During
    those times, this martial art was known as Paccalicali-t (pronounced as pakkali-kalî) to the Ibanags,[3] Didya (later
    changed to Kabaroan) to the Ilokanos, Sitbatan or Kalirongan to Pangasinenses, Sinawali ("to weave") to
    the Kapampangans, Calis or Pananandata ("use of weapons") to the Tagalogs, Pagaradman to
    the Ilonggos and Kaliradman to the Cebuanos. Kuntaw and Silat are separate martial arts that are also practised in
    the Philippine Archipelago.

    Arnis also includes hand-to-hand combat, joint locks, grappling and weapon disarming techniques. Although in


    general, emphasis is put on weapons for these arts, some systems put empty hands as the primary focus and some
    old school systems do not teach weapons at all. [5]
    For all intents and purposes, arnis, eskrima and kali all refer to the same family of Filipino weapon-based martial arts
    and fighting systems. Both Arnis and Eskrima are loans from Spanish:

     Arnis comes from arnés,[6] Old Spanish for "armor" (harness is an archaic English term for armor, which
    comes from the same roots as the Spanish term). It is said to derive from the armor costumes used in Moro-
    moro stage plays where actors fought mock battles using wooden swords.[7] Arnes 
    The execution of this doctrine is so infallible, that not only does it prove its superiority in contests with equal arms,
    but also when finding the opponent with the apparent advantage of showing up armed with two weapons, sword and
    dagger. For, even armed with those, experience shows the difficulty of resisting the single sword used in this way ...

    Eskrima training weapons

     Eskrima (also spelled Escrima/Eskrima) is a Filipinization of the Spanish word for fencing, esgrima.


    According to Guro Dan Inosanto, Kali is a portmanteau of the Cebuano words "kamot", meaning hand,
    and "lihok", meaning motion.[12][13]
     In the Ilocano language, kali means "to dig" and "to stab".[14]Vic
    Sanchez Pangasinense term Kalirongan means "Karunungan ng Lihim" or "Wisdom of (the) Secret
    (fighting arts)" or "Wisdom of Kali".
