Arnis (pronounced “our niece”) is a Philippine martial arts system of martial arts that employs rattan sticks, blade weapons and the empty hands — no weapons. While Arnis is primarily considered a weapons art, it incorporates empty hand techniques based upon the same movements used with the weapons.Filipino martial arts is a broad term more detail is covered in specific articles. The three major branches of Filipino martial arts are Arnis typically from the northern Luzon regions, Eskrima from the central Visayas regions, and Kali from the southern Mindanao regions. Within these branches dwell a long line of masters, families, systems and history. Most Filipino systems will associate with one of these terms and their respective Regions of the Philippines.

Arnis does not merely combine techniques, the student is encouraged to adapt the principles to one’s own feel for each technique and any previous training–martial arts, dance or other body movement disciplines. For this reason, Arnis is referred to as “The Art Within Your Art.”
The Arnis Training
The study of Arnis is the study of coordinating the body to be in full harmony. Students start training with the sticks immediately which enhances the learning process and gives the student a tremendous increase in eye/hand coordination and a special gracefulness known in Arnis as “The Flow”. From the very first class, students learn to activate muscles and integrate their effectiveness so that movement will come from the effort of the body in unison, not just isolated muscle power. With practice, movements powered by a fully integrated body gain dramatically in both strength and speed. The self-defense aspect of Arnis incorporates the grappling art of trapping hands, takedowns and low-level kicks.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filipino_martial_arts
