Eskrima: The Filipino Martial Art of Krishna Godhania
Eskrima, also known as Kali or Arnis, is a Filipino martial art that emphasizes stick-fighting, hand-to-hand combat, and weapons training. It is one of the oldest martial arts in Southeast Asia, with roots dating back to the 15th century.
Eskrima is known for its fluid, dynamic movements and its focus on using a variety of weapons, including sticks, knives, and swords. It is an incredibly versatile martial art that can be used for self-defense, combat sports, and even theatrical performances.
The origins of Eskrima are shrouded in mystery, but it is believed to have developed from the indigenous fighting styles of the Filipino people. These styles were used for centuries to defend against invaders and to resolve conflicts within communities.

In the 15th century, the Philippines was invaded by the Spanish, who brought with them their own martial arts traditions. These traditions influenced the development of Eskrima, and the art began to take on its modern form.
Eskrima was further developed during the American colonial period, when Filipino martial artists began to incorporate elements of boxing, wrestling, and other Western martial arts. Today, Eskrima is practiced all over the world and is considered one of the most effective martial arts for self-defense.
Eskrima is a comprehensive martial art that includes a wide range of techniques, including:
- Stick-fighting: Eskrima is famous for its stick-fighting techniques. These techniques are designed to allow practitioners to defend themselves against armed opponents. Stick-fighting involves using a variety of strikes, blocks, and disarms.

- Weapons training: Eskrima practitioners are also trained in the use of a variety of weapons, including sticks, knives, swords, and firearms. Weapons training is used to develop skills in self-defense and to prepare practitioners for combat.
