HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
▪ Arnis originated from the Negritos or Aeta,
the Philippines' aboriginal inhabitants.
▪ The Aeta migrated from the Asian
mainland, crossing shallow seas and land
bridges.
▪ Arnis evolved from a bladed weapon into a
systematic martial art over a history of
more than a thousand years.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
▪The fragmented development of Arnis,
due to limited written records and the
Philippines' archipelagic nature,
complicates its historical timeline.
▪Arnis was primarily used for self-defense
by pre-Spanish Filipinos, who were
known for their friendly nature and
hospitality.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Kali became so popular during the early days that it
was known as the sport of kings and of the members
of the royal blood. Kali declined in popularity as early
as 1596 when the Spanish authorities discouraged,
and eventually banned the practiced of the art in
1764. They said that Filipinos were so engrossed in
the art that they left their lands untilled. The
Spaniards also stated that the practice of the art also
led to serious physical injuries and even death.
Modern Arnis 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.
10 BENEFITS OF ARNIS AS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
1. Total body workout: Martial arts are a high-aerobic
workout that uses every muscle group in the body.
Your stamina, muscle tone, flexibility, balance and
strength will all improve through martial arts.
2. Healthy lifestyle: Due to the total-body nature of a
martial arts workout, tons of calories are burned
during every class. However, you’ll also find that your
natural eating signals become better regulated, so
food cravings will disappear and you’ll eat less as a
result.

3. Self confidence: Due to the goal setting, positive
encouragement and respect for values that are part of all
martial arts programs, the greatest benefit usually reported
by martial arts students is greater self-confidence. You
become more comfortable in all situations – whether you’re
in danger or simply doing a task that takes you beyond your
comfort zone — and you’ll discover you can accomplish
anything you set your mind to.
4. Improved cardiovascular health: Research has found
that the only real way to improve the status of the
cardiovascular system is by participating in activities that
stress the heart, such as martial arts.
10 BENEFITS OF ARNIS AS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
5. Weight loss: A one hour session of moderate intensity martial
arts can burn up to 500 calories.
6. Improved reflexes: Research has found that by participating
in martial arts, you not only improve your reflexes while
performing the activity, but actually experience faster reaction
times during all activities of your life. This is very important in a
number of daily activities, such as driving.
7. Focus and stillness: As Bruce Lee pointed out, behind the
punches, kicks and knees, a true martial artist learns to sit with
himself and see where his weaknesses are. As a martial artist,
your will learn what it is to be still, challenged and focused.
SIX CARDINAL RULES IN ARNIS (REMY PRESAS, 1974)
The cardinal principle in Arnis is respect for one's
opponent as a person and as a fighter, and as a
sportsman. It should always be remembered that an
opponent is a human being with a dignity as you have
and worthy of respect. Also do not under rate his
fighting ability overconfidence would be costly, if not
fatal, therefore never underestimate the ability of an
opponent. Sportsmanship on the other hand is the
measure of a fighter or player. The laurels of victory
should never be worn with superiority but with
humility. Victory is not a stamp of invulnerability
but rather a reason for magnanimity.
SIX CARDINAL RULES IN ARNIS (REMY PRESAS, 1974)
1. Character - a violent person has no place in Arnis.
2. Sincerity - sincerity for victory's sake is not the all--consuming
end of an Arnis player.
3. Discipline - Arnis is a molder of discipline. Proper behavior in
the sport and in life itself will be the gauge of success.
Personal discipline is important.
4. Self-control - losing one's head means defeat.
5. Etiquette - etiquette is allied to the main cardinal rules in
arnis.
6. Student's loyalty - loyalty should be emphasized to the
student, loyalty to the art, to a fellow player, and to his teacher.
