The aim of the said tournament is to enrich the National Sport and encourage Arnisadors to a friendly
competition by participating in this kind of tournament and to measures what they’ve learned in practicing Arnis
it is also included the measurements of one’s self discipline and sportsmanship. Organizing a tournament will
open a door for each Kali/Arnis practitioner to test their knowledge and ability on defending their selves, wining
or loosing will teach them important lesson , acceptance and determination to learn furthermore not to give up
and be discourage. It also served as a dry run for the PNU Arnis Team (including Alumni members) to partici-
pate in the tournament not by playing but in improving their skills in officiating actual Arnis matches.
A number of teams from different parts of NCR participated. Most coming from Metro Manila but as
well as teams from as far as Bulacan Master BAX had also exclaimed that his only aim in organizing this event
is to support our National Government in the dissemination of the Republic Act 9850 Declaring Anis as the
