Nature and Background

4. SLIDESMANIA.COM
Arnis is regarded as a traditional
Filipino Martial Art. However, its origin in
the Philippine culture and history is still
not yet discovered.

5. SLIDESMANIA.COM
✔ This sport shows fighting with weapons such as
knives, bladed weapons, sticks, or other
improvised weapons. It also includes grappling,
pacifying of weapons, and hand combat.
✔ The main purpose of Arnis is for self-defense.
On December 11, 2009, Arnis was declared as the
Philippine National Martial Art and Sport through
Republic Act 9850 signed by President Gloria
Macapagal Arroyo.

6. SLIDESMANIA.COM
✔ Lapu-Lapu was considered the first Master of
Arnis for fighting Magellan. Even though the
Spaniards used strong weapons such as swords
and guns, Lapu-Lapu and his men used wooden
instruments, spears, and bolos. The use of these
kinds of weapons did not hinder them from
winning the fight against the Spaniards. Thus,
Magellan died during the battle between him and
Lapu-Lapu.
