    In the central Philippine 

    island region of Visayas, it is known


    as Pangamot or Pakamot. It is also known as Mano-mano and often
    referred to in Western martial arts circles as Panantukan.

    Although it is also called Filipino Boxing, this pertains to the Filipino


    martial art and should not be confused with the Western sport of
    boxing as practiced in the Philippines.

    The term suntukan comes from the Tagalog word for punch, suntok. It is


    the Filipino term for a fistfight or brawl and for fist fighting or
    boxing. Panuntukan means “the art of fist fighting”.

    The Visayan terms pangamot and pakamot (“use of hands”) come from


    the Cebuano word for hand, kamot. Due to Cebuano
    language pronunciation quirks, they are also pronounced natively
    as pangamut and pakamut, thus the variation of spelling across literature.

    Mano-mano comes from the Spanish word for “hand”, mano, and can


    translate to “two hands” or “hand-to-hand”. The phrase “Mano-mano na
    lang, o?” (“Why don’t we settle this with fists?”) is often used to end
    arguments when tempers have flared in Philippine male society.

    Panuntukan (often erroneously referred to as panantukan by Western


    practitioners due to the way Americans pronounce the letter a) this is a
    corruption of tagalog word panuntukan, an alternative form
    of pangsuntukan which means “for the use of fist fighting”.
