ARNIS
INTRODUCTION:
•In this lesson we will study the
nature and background of the
sport- Arnis
What is ARNIS?
ARNIS is a filipino Martial Art that can
be performed individually or with a
partner using single stick or a pair of
sticks for striking,blocking and can be
used for self defense.
It was before the colonization of the
Spaniards when Arnis was created, and it
was called "Kali" back then and the
techniques of the art is focused on
bladed weapons fighting.This fighting
system was renamed "ARNIS" in 1873
which derived from the word "ARNES"
which means defensive armors used on
the Moro-moro plays with colorful
trapping.
In July of 1986 Arnis Philippines
(ARPHI)was established with the same
objective.It is a self defense system of
Filipino Martial Arts founded by the late
Remy Presas.The was to create an
injury -free training method.This is also
believed to be an effective self defense
in order to preserve the older Arnis
System.
REMY PRESAS
In additional President Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo signed the
Republic Act.no. 9850 in 2009
that mandates Department of
Education to include the
sports as a Physical
Education course.
What are the rules and regulations of
arnis?
No punching, kicking, or takedowns
permitted. No contact to the back. The
format of arnis stick fighting is continuous.
Referee stops and restarts the fight if one
or both competitors fall on the ground, one
or both weapons fall on the ground, or one
competitor grabs the handle and takes
away the opponent's weapon
What are the 12 basic strikes of Arnis?
Left Temple Strike
From the forward stance, twist your wrist to an

angle of 1 o’clock as you pull yourhand towards
your shoulders to prepare for a strike. Swing
your arm in the 1 o’clock direction in a slashing
action while placing the other hand on your
chest. The action should be a diagonal
downward swing to the left temple of the enemy.
Right Simple Strike
This strike is similar to the left temple strike. The strike

movement follows the 11 o’clock angle while the free
hand is placed on the chest. This strike is a diagonal
downward backhand swing to the right temple of the
enemy.
. Left Torso Strike
The left torso strike involves the practitioner to
extend the lead hand when striking to deliver
maximum force. This strike is a diagonal
forehand slashing swing towards any part of the
body between the shoulder and the hips. When
swinging the lead hand, the turning force must
initially come from the rear foot, then followed by
the hip rotation to make the blow more effective.
Right Torso Strike
Just like the left torso strike, again the
practitioner will extend the weapon hand
tostrike any part of the body on the right
side between the shoulder and the hips.
The arm movement is a backhand
slashing swing.
Trust Strike
This strike is a powerful thrust to the solar plexus of the
opponent. It can cause fatal damage to the organs within
the abdomen area. This move is most helpful when you
notice that the opponent is over-committing in his forward
foot movement when striking. This is an effective counter
against a temple strike, but remember to never stretch out
when doing the thrust strike.
The force of the attack should come more from the

momentum of the opponent coming forward, and it should
be more of a counter. Using it as a casual strike opens up
the body to attacks from the opponent
Left Chest Stab-
This strike involves extending the arm in a thrusting motion with the palm facing outward
towards the left chest of the opponent
. Right Chest Stab-

This strike is similar to the left chest stab, but aim the thrust to the right
chest of the opponent. When done right, the opponent’s lungs will be
damaged, which willmake it hard for him to breathe and even cause death.
Left leg Strike
This technique involves striking the opponent’s lower leg,

usually the knee or ankle, to immobilize him. It is necessary to
lower your lead leg and strike in a downward diagonal slashing
motion to the opponent’s leg with the palm facing upward. In
traditional Arnis, the aim of the technique is to just hit any part
of the leg. However, in Modern Arnis and Jeet-Kune-Do, the
left leg strike should be aimed 6 inches above the knee where
a pressure point exists. When hit correctly, one blow could
immobilize the opponent
.Right Leg Strike-
This technique is similar to the left
leg strike but aims the strike at the
right leg of the opponent. The motion
of this technique is a diagonal
downward backhand swing.
Left Eye Poke
This technique is similar to the left chest
stab but with the strike aimed at the left
eye socket. The goal of this attack is to
take away the opponent’s vision and thus,
ending the fight faster.
Right Eye Poke
Just like the left eye poke, this technique

takes away the opponent’s vision. However,
this technique is aimed at the right eye of
the opponent
