 What is It
HISTORY OF ARNIS

This martial art originated in the Philippines. The primary weapon used in this
traditional martial art is the cane or baton. It also involves hand to hand combat,
grappling, and weapons disarming.

Arnis was developed by the indigenous populations of the Philippines who

used an assorted range of weaponry for combat and self-defense. Arnis is otherwise
known as eskrima, kali and garrote, and by even more names in different Filipino
regional languages. Encompassing both simple impact and edged weapons, arnis
traditionally involved rattan, swords, daggers and spears.

In 1521, equipped with nothing more than bladed weapons and their fearsome
arnis abilities, Filipino islanders defeated Ferdinand Magellan’s armored, musket-
bearing Spanish conquistador forces when they tried to invade.
When the Spanish eventually returned and successfully conquered parts of
the Philippines, the traditions of arnis were preserved, despite its prohibition, in the
forms of ritual dance, performance and mock battles. While earlier Filipino martial
arts were influenced by Spanish colonization, the modern forms have been affected
by the country’s contact with both the United States and Japan after gaining
independence in 1898. Just over a century later, in 2009, the government of the
Philippines declared arnis to be the martial art and national sport of the Philippines.

It is a Filipino Martial art that can be performed individually or with a partner.

Using a single stick or a pair of sticks for striking and blocking. It was founded by
Remy Presas and he used it as a self-defense system. Nowadays it is considered as
one of the events in Palarong Pambansa wherein Anyo is one of the popular one. It
is a combination of pre-arranged or choreographed striking, blocking and body
shifting techniques.

Different styles of arnis are now being practiced all over the world. Although
not as popular as other oriental martial arts, it is highly respected for its practicality
and effectiveness in terms of self-defense and combat. In recent South East Asean
Game 2019 the Philippine Arnis team wrapped up 14 gold medals that made them
the champion.

Since Arnis began to develop an accessible story of Filipino cultural heritage,

Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" Zubiri authored and spearheaded the law declaring Arnis
as the national sport of the country which at that time was recently approved and
signed by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo into law. Today, the governing body of
Arnis in the Philippines is the PEKAF Philippine Eskrima Kali Arnis Federation and
the Chairman is Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri.

FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS

Grip: Proper hold of the stick

Hold the stick one fist away from the punyo (butt) of the stick. Close the grip with
the thumb.

Basic Stance and Salutations

Starting with the ready stance, move one foot about two feet (2') to the left or the right
direction until both lower legs are almost perpendicular to the ground. Both toes are
pointing in front, the waist and the body is facing forward. The body should not be
too low or extended otherwise it will be hard to maneuver.

Ready Stance/ Handa

Stand with your feet apart parallel to the shoulder with both
toes pointing forward. The knees should be straight, the waist
and the body facing forward. Hands are on waist level and the
hands should hold the sticks on both sides. The ready stance
is commonly used when standing at ease during training or
tournaments.
Attention Stance

Stand with your feet forming a 45-degree angle. Heels should be close to each
other, knees should be straight, the waist and body facing forward. Shoulders are
dropped to the side and both hands are at waist level. The Attention Stance is
commonly used in preparation for courtesy or “bowing” at commencement of
sparring.
Forward Stance
Starting with the ready stance, move one foot
forward until the knee and the toe are in line
with each other. Both toes are pointing in
front, the waist and the body is facing
forward. The body should not be too low or
the lead foot too extended otherwise it will be
hard to manoeuvre. Distribute the weight or
center of gravity to both legs. Forward
stances can be right foot lead, which is the
Right Foot Forward Stance or it can be left
foot lead which is Left Foot Forward Stance.
Forward Stance is commonly used with
frontal striking or blocking techniques.

Oblique Stance
Starting with the ready stance, move
one foot forward 45 degrees away
from the body until the knee and the
toe are in line with each other. Move
on the same direction as the lead foot
(e.g. for right foot lead, move 45
degrees forward to the right). Both
toes are pointing in front, the waist
and the body is facing forward. The
body should not be too low or the
lead foot too extended otherwise it
will be hard to maneuver.
Distribute the weight or center of
gravity to both legs. Oblique stances
can be right foot lead, which is the
Right Foot Oblique Stance or it can
be left foot lead which is Left Foot
Oblique Stance. Oblique Stances are
commonly used for forward blocking
and evasion techniques.
 STRADDLE STANCE

Starting with the ready stance,

move one foot about two feet (2’)
to the left or the right direction
until both lower legs are almost
perpendicular to the ground.
Both toes are pointing in front,
the waist and the body is facing
forward. The body should not be
too low or extended otherwise it
will be hard to manoeuvre.
Distribute the weight or center of
gravity to both legs. Straddle
stance are also called Horseback
Riding Stance since it imitates
horseback riding position.
Straddle stances are commonly
used for blocking the strikes to
the side of the body.

Side Stance

Starting with the ready stance, move

one foot about two feet (2’) to the left
or right direction. Moving foot will be
perpendicular to the ground while
the other leg is extended thereby
creating a position like that of a side
kick. Both toes are pointing in front,
the waist and the body is facing
forward. The body should not be too
low or extended otherwise it will be
hard to maneuver.
Distribute the weight or center of
gravity to both legs. If the left foot
moves to the side it becomes Left Foot
Side Stance, if the right foot moves to
the side it becomes Right Foot Side
Stance. Side Stances are commonly
used for strike deflection and evasion
techniques.
 Back Stance
Starting with the ready stance, move one
foot backward 45 degrees away from the
body. The heels of the foot should form
an imaginary “L” shape while the legs are
in a straddle position. The body should
not be too low or extended otherwise it
will be hard to maneuver. Distribute the
weight or center of gravity to both legs.
Back stances can be right foot lead,
which is the Right Foot Back Stance or it
can be left foot lead which is Left Foot
Back Stance. Back stances are used for
blocking and backward evasion
techniques.
