FMA is not the same as Arnis/Eskrima/Kali as there are a lot of other native Philippine martial arts separate from these weapon-based umbrella terms, such as Boltong from Northern Luzon, Dumog from Visayas, Sikaran (kicking), newer ones like Yawyan, there's Kuntao, Silat from the South, etc. That's like saying Karate, Judo, Aikido, Kenjutsu, etc are all just the same and that the Wikipedia entries for both articles be just merged into a single article called "Japanese Martial Arts". I am going to start the nomination process for the renaming of the article. -Object404 (talk)06:35, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

it has been over 3 years since I asked the question, and there have been no major arguments against. As such, I'm going to start the move/rename process as perWikipedia:Requested_moves. For reference, also see the page from theNational Commission for Culture and the Arts of the Philippine Government -http://www.ncca.gov.ph/about-culture-and-arts/culture-profile/phil-fast-facts/culture-profile-arnis.php -Object404 (talk)06:40, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

By the way there already is an articleFilipino martial arts which I see you found and think addresses your point.Peter Rehse (talk)08:43, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I did not "find" it. I help edit it. The article has now been moved and renamed to "Arnis" by an administrator, thanks. Will start the cleanup process to align terminology on the FMA articles with it over the next few weeks, as well as other articles referencing it. Will also move unnecessarily specific sections about Arnis inFilipino Martial Arts over to this article to consolidate them and clean things up a bit.

This unsourced stub appears to be about a subdivision of "Arnis" and would be better included, with sources, in the articleArnis.PamD23:58, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link onArnis. Please take a moment to reviewmy edit. You may add{{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add{{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

I think the ranking section would benefit from a disclaimer clarifying that the system shown there is that of just one organization, and that different arts (or even multiple organizations within an art) may use other systems. If no one objects I'll add something.T.plicata (talk)19:42, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, the links for the grandmasters needs to be edited, their names link to the styles instead.— Precedingunsigned comment added by12.53.232.148 (talk)20:38, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I gathered together all the information on the origins of the words arnis, escrima and kali and put them in one section at the beginning of the article.Sethie (talk)10:57, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Almost all of the paragraphs have "unreliable source" template.AlienGuy456789 (talk)13:01, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
