Historically, the Philippines have been flooded with many influences from various faces and cultures. Arnis, the Filipino martial art of stick fighting, which has always been an integral part of the society, was influenced as well. Traditionally, native Filipinos learned to fight bare handed, with sticks and bladed weapons out of necessity for self -preservation. Important principles such as economy of movement, efficiency of techniques, speed, flexibility, agility and mobility were utilized in training. The most important principle is “go with the force ”, also known as “the flow.” By going with the force, a weaker person has a much better chance of defending himself against a more powerful opponent than by trying to oppose the force with his own force. Strikes are parried and deflected by redirecting the opponent’s flow of energy, rather than trying to stop or block his attack. Timing is very important for the effective utilization of “the flow”.
