• Arnis, also known as Kali or Eskrima/Escrima, is the
national martial art of the Philippines.
• Arnis comes from arnés, Old Spanish for "armor"
(harness is an archaic English term for armor, which
comes from the same roots as the Spanish term). It is
said to derive from the armor costumes used in Moro-
moro stage plays where actors fought mock battles using
wooden swords.
• It was developed by the indigenous people of the
Philippines who used an assorted range of weaponry for
combat and for self defense.
