This Filipino Martial Art uses sticks as weapons. This Filipino Martial Art is called Arnis, but it is also known as eskrima/escrima. Arnis had existed even before pre-colonial times in the Philippines. The Filipinos practiced this art and probably even used Arnis to defend themselves against Spanish, American and Japanese colonizers. Arnis uses sticks as weapons but is actually a collection of fighting techniques/theories using swords knives and even bear hands. An interesting fact about Arnis is that Arnis sticks are actually made of Rattan so that the Arnis stick FOLDS instead of breaks. Arnis today is a national sport in the Philippines and is even a part of the Olympics. Arnis today is also taught in schools as a part of the curriculum in the Philippines. Personally, I find Arnis to be really awesome!
