Arnis

Arnis, also known as eskrima/escrima or kali, is the national martial art of the Philippines.

These three terms are, sometimes, interchangeable in referring to traditional martial arts of the Philippines, which emphasize weapon-based fighting with sticks, knives, bladed weapons, and various improvised weapons, as well as "open hand" techniques without weapons.
