ARNIS
Also known as Kali or Eskrima/Escrima, is the national martial
art of the Philippines. Arnis is the Philippine indigenous martial
art, most popularly known as stick-fighting. Rattan sticks are
used for practice, but the martial art is a complete system of
armed and unarmed combat. Basically, arnis has three popular
modes: solo baston (single stick), double baston (two sticks), and
espada y daga (sword and dagger). Other groups practice the
longer staffs such as the bangkaw or tapado, as well as the spear.

HISTORY IN PHILIPPINES
Is the system of Filipino martial arts founded by the late
Remy Presas as a self-defense system . His goal was to create an
injury-free training method as well as an effective self-defense
system in order to preserve the older Arnis systems . The term
Modern Arnis was used by Remy Presas’ younger brother
Ernesto Presas to describe his style of Filipino martial arts ;
since 1999 Ernesto Presas called his system Kombatan . It is
derived principally from the traditional Presas family style of
the Bolo(Machete) and the stick-dueling art of Balintawak
Eskrima , with influences from other Filipino and Japanese
martial arts .
