Introduction
The Philippines
is an island nation rich in both culture and history. The Filipino martial art of Arnis/Kali/Escrima has contributed to both the history and diversity of the Philippines. There are an abundance of styles and systems of Arnis/Kali/Escrima that are taught throughout the world to this day, that have survived and developed throughout the different regions, families and teachers who have preserved what is sometimes called a “complete” martial art.
Arnis/Kali/Escrima was originally developed by the people native to the islands using simple impact and edged weapons such as kampilans, rattan, swords, daggers, spears and other assorted weaponry for combat and self defense. These weapons were also sometimes used as farm implements.
The arrival of Ferdinand Magellan’s force in 1521 was met in battle with a group of islanders, led by Raja Lapu Lapu, who defeated Magellan using only a bladed weapon. Magellan’s armored and musket bearing conquistadors were overpowered by the fierce fighters and retreated. The Spanish returned in the 1570’s and this time the Philippines came under Spanish rule unable to contend with the modern weaponry the Spanish used. The practice of Arnis/Kali/Escrima was prohibited, but continued and was preserved through native ritual dance, performance, and mock battles. Thus the arts were passed down in families from generation to generation, honing their skill, speed, accuracy and agility.
The terms Arnis, Kali and Escrima are all used to refer to the Filipino martial arts. There has been some confusion as to what word refers to which part of the martial art. It is believed that Arnis, Kali, and Escrima are all a part of the same art and depending on the location, dialect and type of training taught. Also, any of the three names may apply to a certain part of training. One interpretation is that Kali is the mother art of Arnis and Escrima. Arnis focuses on the knife, including dagger, sword, and any other form of bladed weapon. Escrima is based on the baston or stick. It has also become very popular in the sport aspect of full contact stick fighting.

fundamental skills in Arnis
The fundamentals skills in arnis are striking and blocking. It takes intelligence first to understand the primary principles that makes a system effective. When we are talking about Arnis, what really matters is fluid body mechanics, eye and hand coordination, footwork, and lots of practice of the techniques of the particular style of Arnis that you will study. What many term 'attributes' meaning those physical, mental and emotional qualities that are present or absent in every practitioner is what really makes a Martial Artist stand out and makes the difference regarding functional ability. Functional ability is what skill is all about; what others call skill may simply be an understanding of technique, but that does not mean that they are capable to use it in a real situation. Real situations whereby one must use counter offense/defense requires adapting to real time, real pressure and true aggression. There is no other type of true skill and therefore that means that fundamental skill in Arnis or any other system goes beyond a prescribed curriculum or any rote memorization of movement. Martial Arts is beyond a physical activity. It is the ability to meet violence and overcome such violence with ingrained skills and any so called Martial Art that does not require for one to study under pressure and against near full-on attacks is nothing more than a means of selling false confidence. Arnis is hand-to-hand combat with or without weapons and if it sold as any other thing, in my opinion, is not true Arnis. Note: often times the terms Kali, Escrima, and Arnis are interchangeable the difference is generally based on the language of the region from which the art was developed.
