Instruction and analysis in Arnis (also called Escrima or Kali) — the national martial art of the Philippines. Covers single stick, double stick, knife, and empty-hand techniques. Arnis is unique in that it treats the weapon as an extension of the hand, making the weapon-to-empty-hand transition more natural than in many other arts. [→ martial-arts; fma]
