[Master Panto]

My understanding of the difference in spelling (which I take from Mark Wiley's Filipino Martial Culture ) is that both terms derive from the Spanish word esgrimar , which can mean "to skirmish."

Wiley states that "escrima" is an improper adaptation of the tem that was taken into the Tagalog language during the Spanish occupation of the Philippines; "eskrima" is the accepted romanization of the term based on the current Tagalog alphabet, which contains no letter "c."

While "eskrima" may be used more often today, neither "escrima" nor "eskrima" was originally a Tagalog term. Furthermore, the use of the term "escrima" is not incorrect insofar as it may accurately reflect the historical and cultural tradition of a specific school or style.

I suspect that this means that when Tagalog-speaking people used the term orally, it sounded exactly like "escrima" or "eskrima," but when the term was written by Spanish-speaking people they used either a "c" or a "k."

BTW, there is no difference between the 3 (Arnis, Escrima, Kali). As a matter of fact, prior to some 20 years ago, I don't even think "kali" existed in the sense that it was generally used to describe FMA with the exception of a very vague mention in a book written in the 1950's (by Mirafuente/Yambao). The general term was either Escrima or Arnis. Of course nowadays, Kali is just another name used to describe FMA (among others, escrima and arnis included). It's all same-same... :shrug:

 

[arnisador]

Great links! Thanks!

 

[kailat]

< KALI > perse, however I percieve all of them to be the same art in the larger scheme of it all. I've studied in the styles of:

Inosanto Blend Kali / JKD
Serrada Eskrima
Pekiti Tirsia Kali
Doce Pares Eskrima
Sayoc Kali
Arnis De Mano
Sikal

So I consider myself a Kali player.. But its all the same to me!!!

 

[hapkenkido]

i do modern arnis with bob quinn, but we have started to do some classical arnis too.

 

[Topeng]

Alll those terms mean the same to me.

Primary art: BaHad Zu'Bu Kalis Ilustrisimo
Its also referred to as BaHad Zu'bu Eskrima.

The terminology I have seen people sometimes get confused with is thinking Panantukan, Pananjakman, or Dumog are the same as Eskrima, Kali. Though they are all part of FMA, those are each their own.

 

[kalimistress]

I am a Kali practitioner. I am currently a Gold belt/sash but have decided that testing does not make me a better martial artist and probably will not test again. I am wanting to get into the Inosanto instructor program.

 

[Franko808]

Escrima......

 

[DaughteroftheArts]

Escrima, six days a week...

 

[kuntawguro]

This may raise some eyebrows. I do Bugtongan/ Kaliluhon this is a form of Kali sword and shield. The style is literally trickery, puzzle, and treachery. I have been ranked in Modern Arnis and PTK but I teach what I know best.

My training started in 1968 in TKD but I soon switched to FMA when I saw it actually work.

 

[bobquinn]

More power to you. Teach what you have been taught and persue what you don't know. Keep the faith.

Bob Quinn

 

[Phil Mar Nadela]

Kali-Arnis de Mano and Arnis de Abanico. I'm also a student under Paclibar Bicol Arnis ; I'm not sure but i think its classical Arnis.

 

[bobquinn]

Awesome, I know you are having fun with it.

B Quinn

 

[Wabushmines]
