HISTORY OF ARNIS

HISTORY OF ARNIS
O Native Filipinos used arnis to defeat the

invading horde of Spanish soldiers led by

Ferdinand Magellan in 1521. However,
even after Magellans defeat, more
Spaniards arrived years later and
overpowered the native islander. After
establishing their rule, the Spaniards
outlawed all forms of martial arts including
arnis. Many Filipinos continued practicing
arnis in secret, however. Arnis and similar
forms of martial arts are now legal in the
Philippines and are practiced along with
more familiar forms of martial arts.

HISTORY OF ARNIS
O Arnis also called as kali or

escrima, is a form of martial arts

that formed in the Philippines,
although the specific date of origin is
unknown. Arnis involves the use of
force and bladed-edge weapons,
including daggers, swords, rattans
and kampilans, along with spears
and other combat weapons.
