2. Arnis
Eskrima is a Filipinization of the Spanish word
for fencing (esgrima)
Arnis comes from arnes, Old Spanish
for armor (harness is an archaic English term for armor
which comes from the same roots as the Spanish
term). It is derived from the armor costumes used
in Moro-moro stage plays where actors fought mock
battles using wooden swords. Allegedly, the practice
of weaponry by the peasants or Indios was banned
by the Spaniards during colonial times and the Moro-
moro stick fights were a "disguised" form of continued
practice of indigenous martial arts.
