1. ARNIS

2. ARNIS IS A TRADITIONAL FILIPINO MARTIAL ART. ITS ROOTS AND ORIGIN IN FILIPINO
CULTURE AND HISTORY ARE STILL UNKNOWN , AND NOBODY COULD TELL EXACTLY
TYHE DATE OF ITS INCEPTION. IT REMAINS UNCLEAR BECAUSE THERE ARE NO WRITTEN
DOCUMENTS. THIS KIND OF SELF-DEFENSE OR ART OF FIGHTING INVOLVES THE USE OF
ONE OR A COMBINATION OF THE FOLLOWING ; ONE STICK , PAIRED STICK , A LONG
AND SHORT STICK , AND A SHARP WEAPON. THIS FORM OF SELF- DEFENSE WAS
PRACTICED EVEN BEFORE THE SPANIARDS CAME TO THE PHILIPPINES . LAPU-LAPU AND
HIS MEN ARE KNOWN TO BE THE FIRST MASTER OF ARNIS BECAUSE THEY WON THE
BATTLE WITH MAGELLAN USING WOODEN INSTRUMEN TS , SPEAR , BOLOS . ARNIS DE
MANO CAME TO BE KNOWN BY THIS TERM DUE TO SPANISH INFLUENCE , WHICH
ORIGINATED FROM THE SPANISH WORD “ ARARMOR ,” NES” WHICH MEANS
“TRAPPINGS’ OR “ DEFENSIVE ARMOR” ,, WHILE “DE MANO “ MEANS “BY HAND”.
