School Pupils Trained in Kali-Arnis Defense

Demonstration on defense

Kali-Arnis or popularly known as Eskrima is a Filipino native type of weaponry effective for combat defense against aggressor.

The Department of Education has recently declared this as the national sports, replacing Sipa..

When I was the school principal of Nagasi Elementary School, Division of La Carlota I introduced this stick-defense to our grade four, five and six pupils under the instruction or training of Kali Master Jun de los Reyes.

Baston or 29-inch-rattan stick is used for training. This training usually takes 2 to 3 months and it is free of charge since the school principal is also a graduate of this training and he could be one of those masters.
