Arnis Eskrima

Handmade Arnis Eskrima Sticks

American Nunchaku makes Arnis (Eskrima) Sticks for use in the martial arts of the Philippines.  It has also been theorized that the Filipino art of Arnis may have roots in India and came to the Philippines via people who traveled through Indonesia and Malaysia to the Philippine islands. Silambam, a stick/staff-based ancient martial art of India influenced many martial arts in Asia like Silat. As such, Arnis may share ancestry with these systems – some Arnis moves are similar to the short stick (kali or kaji) and other weapon based fighting styles of Silambam.
