Kali, Arnis, Escrima

[KNOCKuOUT]

I've been training in a blended kempo for about 5 months and recently learned that later on down the road we learn some stick work. Well I was just wondering if anyone could tell me, what is the difference between escrima, kali, and arnis?

Others may be able to give you more info on these but my understanding is they are all a derivative of the original Fillipino Art. Escrima and Arnis, Arnis de Mano(harness of the hand) are terms used most often in the Philippines with Kali being the term used in the US and Europe. Hope this helps.
