ARNIS  HISTORY OF ARNIS 20XX presentation title 2  Republic Act no.9850 section 3 has declared Arnis as the Philippines’ Martials Art and Sports. In the Palarong Pambansa, this is the first sport competition played by all the participating teams. Arnis is a martial art where you use a stick for fighting. It has its roots as a common method in combat using daggers, swords, and sticks. Historians believed that the name was coined from cakalele silat, an Indonesian fencing which resembled that of eskrima. 20XX presentation title 3 Eskrima or Arnis is also known as Kali. During the Spanish colonial period, eskrima or kali were preserved by keeping it in dance, mock, battles, and religious plays called Moro- Moro. Arnis was given different names in different localities: Pananandata (tagalog), Pagkalikali (ibanog), Kalidaran (Bisaya), Didja (Ilocano), Kabaraon and Kalingoran (Pangasinan). 20XX presentation title 4 ARNIS EQUIPMENT Sticks are made of rattan and resemble a cane measuring 12-36 inches in length at about 3/4 - 1 inch in diameter.
