It is alive in every part of the Philippines,” said Raymond Velayo, president of Arnis Philippines, the national sports association representing the sport. Velayo noted around 10,000 arnis athletes participated in the recent Palarong Pambansa starting from the elimination level. According to Richard Gialogo, vice president of Arnis Philippines, all 17 regions in the country sent arnis athletes in the annual games for elementary and high school. “Arnis teaches an individual to respect the elders through the ‘mano system’,” said Gialogo.

They attended Senate hearings last April on two separate bills filed by Senators Miguel Zubiri and Lito Lapid declaring arnis as a national sport. “We hope that the bills would pass the third reading this time,” said Velayo.

To preserve a martial art like arnis, it should be put in the sports arena,” he said. In 1991, Arnis was included in the Southeast Asian games as a demo sport. After 14 years, it became regular medal event in the 2005 SEA games. The ultimate dream, according to Velayo, is to elevate arnis into the Olympics. “We can get more support (for arnis) when it becomes a --__--__-- Message: 3 From: "Richie Acosta" To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2009 14:46:23 -0500 Subject: [Eskrima] NJ FMA workshop Saturday 6/6 Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Kuntaw Kali Kruzada workshop in Oakhurst, NJ Date: Saturday June 6, 2009 Instructors: Datu Rich Acosta - Kuntaw Kali Kruzada Chief Instructor Workshop will cover: • Solo Baston • Doble Baston • Kuntaw COMJUKAI - empty hand Date: Saturday - June 6, 2009 Time: 2PM to 5PM Fee: $50 at the door Location: ICAT Academy 1719 State Route 35 Oakhurst, NJ 07755-2972 Link: http://kuntawkali.com/ -- Be Yourself @ mail.com!
