Photo: In Ancient Philippine History, the Filipinos were always regarded as skillful swordsmen. Sword fighting was both an art and a skill, and it protected our ancestors from invaders who wished to conquer their beloved islands.

Such skills became recognized as a powerful weapon during the Spanish regime, hence, the people were prohibited from carrying their bolos and the practice of their use was forbidden. Determined not to lose the skill, the Filipinos revolutionized their drill into a dance, and a new weapon replaced the sword, emerging into existence in the form of a long wooden stick.Today, the use of Arnis has gained worldwide acceptance as more and more countries embraced the tradition evolved by the Filipinos.
The principles of Arnis can be applied even if the only thing you have in possession at the moment of attack is just your cellphone, bag, umbrella, ballpen, or just your empty hands for combat.Knowledge of Arnis can be very useful in our daily lives not only as a form of self defense but as an excellent exercise to stimulate body movements and enable proper blood circulation.Ironically, here in the Philippines, not every Filipino is aware that Arnis is the legacy of our ancestors, the hidden wealth that our forefathers had left for us to nurture and develop.
