    REACTION
    As a Filipinos National Martial Art. It is an honor at the same pressure in our part to make a mark
    globally and internationally.
    This article is a reflection that Filipinos are a tough fighter. Their awards wave our flag , we have
    been known to nail every field. It must be widely implemented to have trainings of Arnis
    particularly in schools. It is not just a game to play but a self defense to be practiced for the
    purpose of safety. We may bring home bags of medals and awards for this sports but the essence
    of this is how we defend ourselves from perpetrators. Being knowledgeable in fighting using
    simple instruments is already a great advantage. We can defend not only ourselves but we can
    also save others. Abusers won’t hesitate to harm a person if he sees how weak whom will he
    attack.
    Arnis is the tool that could greatly help us teach young ones to embrace and love our own sports.
    It’s a discipline and values we must possess. It is for purpose of goodness and security. Let us bag
    more for our country’s pride
