FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS (FMA), often referred to as arnis, eskrima, or kali, encompass a diverse range of traditional martial arts systems that originate from the Philippines. These martial arts are known for their practical and efficient techniques, as well as their emphasis on using everyday objects as weapons. The three terms–arnis, eskrima, and kali–are often used interchangeably, although there are some distinctions in their historical and regional usage.
