    Arnis is a Philippine martial art that uses canes and sticks and can be practiced individually or as self-defense. It has evolved into a competitive sport played between two individuals using prescribed canes to strike, thrust, and disarm opponents to gain points over 2-minute rounds. Arnis was brought to the Philippines by Spanish conquistadors in the 1500s and was originally called Kali but was renamed Arnis to avoid Spanish bans on the art. It remains an important part of Filipino culture today as both a martial art and a national sport.

    ARNIS – Group 1 BSA2A

     Arnis is a form of martial art played usually with the use of cane.

     Arnis can be performed individually as an art, with or without the use of a cane, or as a means

    of self-defenses.

     Presently, Arnis has changed its form into a combative sport which has its own set of rule and

    regulations for a competition.

    The game is played by two individuals who are paired or matched by divisions or weight categories,

    in a court measuring eight square meters. Players use the prescribed cane or stick in delivering

    artistic and legal blows, strike, thrusts and by disarming the opponent to gain a point or score.

    A player wins the round is:

    1. he gains five points ahead

    2. disarm the opponent TWICE

    3. his opponent commits three fouls

    The winner of the match is decided by the best of three rounds.

    Each round lasts for two minutes

    Arnis de Mano – Spanish term meaning “harness of the hand”

    Originally derived from Spanish words:

    “arnes” – decorative trappings

    “harness” – worn on the hands of the Moro-moro actors

    “de mano” – hands

    *misconception that arnis was brought to the Philippines by the Spanish invaders
