The long answer: go see a qualified instructor who can fill you in. You will see how it is "all the same," however, the details are very difficult to really grasp from an online conversation.
Paul is really on to something with that comment.
To say that Arnis is Not a Blade Art, I think, is fundamentally flawed.
In my observation Professor downplayed the blade to make Arnis a little more palatable to the general public.
But, if you spent enough time running around the various seminars and/or summer camps you would see it.
Or, if your Instructor decided to share the "hidden" side of the art.
