    Arnis is an ancient Filipino art among warriors and practitioners.

    It is played by
    2 partner face to face with each other. It is mainly strike and defense using a
    stick.

    The 12 Striking Techniques

    1-Left side of the head attack.


    A diagonal downward forehand swing to the left temple. From the position, the
    warrior will hold the stick with one hand at 1 o’clock moving his stick in
    slashing motion while his free hand on his chest.

    2–Right side of the head attack.


    A diagonal downward backhand swing striking to the right temple. Assuming a
    fighting stance like the left temple strike, the warrior this time held his stick at
    11o'clock with his free hand kept on his chest.

    3–Left side of the body or torso, to the left arm or elbow.


    The 3rd striking technique allows the practitioner to extend his weapon hand
    making it easier for him to strike any part of the opponent between its shoulder
    and hips. The stick will be draw in a diagonal forehand slashing swing making it
    easier to deliver a damage.

    4–Right side of the body or torso, to the left arm or elbow.


    Same as the 3rd strike but this time the practitioner will extend the weapon hand
    to strike any part of the body between the shoulder and the hips in a backhand
    slashing swing located on the right side

    5–Thrust to the stomach.


    In this strike, the practitioner will thrust the weapon hand to the stomach and is
    followed by an upward motion that will cut through his opponent's body.
    6–Left chest stab.
    In this strike, the weapon hand is then extended to the front with the palm facing
    outward and the elbow kept up where this strike can cause damage to the rib
    cage.

    7–Right chest stab.


    In this stance, the practitioner will practice the scooping action. The weapon
    hand is then extended forward with the palm facing outward. To deliver the
    strike properly, the elbow should be kept up puncturing the opponents right
    lung.

    8–Left lower leg.


    In this technique, the practitioner will deliver a powerful strike to the opponents
    lower leg, mainly the knee, the angle or the ankel which throws off the
    opponents balance and immobilize him. By doing this, the warrior is supposed
    to lower his body(extending the weapon arm). Holding his palm upward and hit
    any part of the opponents lower leg.

    9–Right lower leg.


    Again, like the 8th strike, the main target here is the right lower leg which
    immobilize the opponent. By doing this, the palm should face downward.

    10–Left eye poke.


    The target here is the left eye socket. In order to execute it properly, the
    practitioner should assume fighting stance then extend the weapon hand forward
    with the palm facing outward with its elbow kept down.

    11– Right eye poke.


    Same as the 10th strike technique. To execute it properly the practitioner will
    have to hold his elbow down poking the right eye of the oponent.
    12–Strike to the crown/top of head.
    The last strike will be a straight downward overhead swing directed towards the
    crown of the head which could throw off the opponents mobility and balance.

    Remember that this is good for defending yourself towards bad people and you
    can use any available materials within reach your hand.
