of Modern Arnis".

The three best known names are Kali, Eskrima, and Arnis.

Kali is the oldest term and has its origin in Cebuano, a


dialect of the middle island groups, "Ka" stands for camot
"hand", and "Li" for lehok "movement". As a whole, Kali can
be translated into " movement of the hand ".
A practitioner of Kali would be a Kallista.
The Spanish occupiers named the
martial arts of the Filipinos " Eskrima ".
That derives from the Spanish word
"Esgrima" describing a brief fight or
fencing.
Due to the Spanish origin a
practitioner of Eskrima would be an
Eskrimador.
In a disguised format, the Filipinos kept their
culture alive by incorporating the Kali
movement into their religious Moro-Moro
dances. Impressed by the dances, the skillful
movement of the hands, the Spaniards named
this art after their hand protection, the "arnes".
Over time, this word evolved to "Arnis".
Following the Spanish origin a practitioner
would be an Arnisador.
