[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Arnis is also known as Eskrima, Kali, Garrote in various regional languages. It is also called Pananandata in Tagalog; Pagkalikali in Ibanag; Kabaraon and Kalirongan in Pangasinan; Kaliradman in Bisaya; and Didja in Ilocano. [/FONT]

I've never heard the FMAs (or any FMA in particular) referred to as Pagkalikali or Didj; the others are familiar to me, though a lot less common. I assume they are treating Sikaran and Yaw-Yan etc.as wholly separate arts. What other names are in use?
