Kali or Eskrima or Arnis are three interchangeable umbrella terms for the traditional martial arts of the Philippines also referred as "Filipino Martial Arts" (FMA). This national sport and martial art of the Philippines is a combination of both weapon-based & empty hand fighting methods.
Origins: Kali Escrima Arnis collectively called as Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) was developed by the indigenous populations of the Philippines, who used an assorted range of weaponry for combat and self-defense. Encompassing both simple impact and edged weapons, arnis traditionally involved rattan, swords, daggers and spears.
Combat Effectiveness: In 1521, equipped with nothing more than bladed weapons and their fearsome arnis abilities, Filipino islanders defeated Ferdinand Magellan’s armored, musket-bearing Spanish conquistador forces when they tried to invade. Defensive aspects of Kali Escrima encompass hand-to-hand combat, grappling and weapon disarming techniques. On the other hand, the fighting style also includes the use of bladed weapons and sticks, in addition to improvised weapons.
Classification of FMA systems: There are many FMA styles across Philippines. These indigenous systems were inherited by families, forged under real battle conditions and over the period evolved into their current forms For broad understanding the FMA styles can be classified as follows:
Dekiti Tirsia Siradas – The international Military FMA system of Kali Escrima is now available in India.
Dekiti Tirsia Siradas is a family system of Kali developed in 1851 by the Tortal family in the Philippines. It was created from the combined knowledge of the Tortal brothers, Conrado, Balbino and Francisco. It was later passed to Grand Tuhon Jerson “Nene” Tortal, which is the son of Matahari Tuhon Balbino Tortal. Dekiti Tirsia Siradas Kali is a very aggressive system with an emphasis on impact and bladed weapons, as well as empty hand techniques and firearms usage and retention.

GM Jerson E. Tortal Jr.:
Filipino Martial Arts is a vast ocean of cutting edge martial skills. FMA trains one to develop exceptional ability to fight with weapons or empty hands interchangeably and to turn ordinary household items into lethal weapons. The FMA training begins with weapons because they give an edge in real fights and any object that can be picked up can be used as a weapon using FMA techniques especially against armed assailants. Empty hands training is then taught as the stick is merely an extension of the hand.
