Eskrima, also known as Arnis or Kali, is an indigeneous Filipino Martial Art utilising weapons such as sticks (single and double), knife/daggers, espada y daga (sword and dagger), bangkaw (staff), mano-mano (empty hands: punching and kicking, locks and immobilization, takedown and grappling) - the Filipino way. It is a complete system by itself.
