Zauriel Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Philippines has hundreds of different languages such as Tagalog, Ilocano, Cebuano, Bicol, Visayan, and dialects but you forget that Philippines had used to been a Spanish colony for 300 centuries. So many (two-thirds) of the words in our Philippine languages were borrowed straight from Spanish language. The name Eskrima is the Filipino spelling which comes from the Spanish word esgrima, "fencing". Arnis is derived from the phrase arnés de mano, Spanish for "harness of the hand".

Zauriel Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 so does anybody overthere speak spanish?Very few in Philippines speak Spanish. It's a dying language in Philippines because it has been replaced by English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorin Ryuu Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 For those of you not familiar with the history of the Philippines, it was an American colony from the very tail end of the 1800s until 1946 (or so...I'm too lazy to look it up).As a note, there was a long process towards its independence under American colonial rule as part of American policy which was underway even before WWII occurred...it wasn't just part of the Post-WWII decolonization deal.Most people from the Philippines speak rather highly of the American colonization (it's the Spanish they hated...).And as for Goju_boi's question, that is a fairly common and unfortunate misconception. Answered in a longer entry in this thread by me:http://www.karateforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=18002Short answer: Karate has a long history of incorporating weapons training.

Jay Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 i do shotokan and we do them as well karate is from okinawa and the nunchuku is a okinawan weapon The key to everything is continuity achieved by discipline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goju_boi Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 I'm a 8th kyu,and I do know that Karate doesn't use weapons.It's just that you said that shorin ryu uses weapons,and that is a karate style.At my dojo Karate is separate from weapons.The weapons there are taught in the Kobudo class. https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
