Sports Arnis, also known as Modern Arnis or Arnis de Mano, is a Filipino martial art that emphasizes weapon-based fighting using sticks, knives, and other bladed weapons. Developed from traditional Filipino martial arts, it incorporates striking, grappling, and disarming techniques, making it a versatile and dynamic form of self-defense. Arnis is not only a means of combat but also a sport, with competitive tournaments held worldwide where practitioners showcase their skills in forms, sparring, and weaponry. It promotes physical fitness, mental discipline, and cultural heritage, reflecting the rich history and traditions of the Philippines. Here, Lawrence J. Macaraeg shows us everything we need to know about Sports Arnis.
