  • FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS the Filipino Martial Arts
    Ronald A. Harris, Ph.D. FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS The Filipino martial arts (FMA) can be called Filipino fencing, because they are methods of personal armed combat that emphasize skills in weaponry over skills in empty hands. Unarmed combat is practiced in FMA, but is traditionally studied after weaponry. This training sequence sets FMA apart from other martial arts that initiate with empty hands. Armed combat is known as Arnis, Eskrima (fencing, Spanish), and Kali. Arnis derives from the Spanish arnes meaning armor. It also comes from “harness,” referring to the battle harness worn by Filipino soldiers under Spanish command. Arnis-de-mano means “harness of hand”, referring to deft hand movements of Filipino grooms for Spanish officers. These lightning fast hand movements were native martial arts techniques in disguise. Forbidden by the Spanish to practice martial arts, defiant Filipinos retained their fighting skills in secret by hiding them in dance forms called Santikan, Sayaw, and Moro-Moro. Other etymologies have been suggested for the names of the various Filipino arts. Dueling an opponent is “to skirmish”. The Spanish term Esgrima is in the Pilipino language. Kali might be named after the Hindu Goddess of c:\mars\clio\fma 1 Ronald A. Harris, Ph.D. Destruction. Dan Inosanto says Kali is the conjunction of the first syllables of two words from the Philippine Islands Visayan language--kamot meaning “hand” and lihok meaning “motion”. Thus, Kali means “hand motion”. An etymology of the Pilipino language indicates otherwise. In the Hiligaynon dialect of the Western Visayas, the term kali means “to dig”, as with a shovel (pala).

  • Bruce Lee and the Perfection of Martial Arts (Studies): an Exercise in Alterdisciplinarity Kyle Barrowman
    Kyle Barrowman is an Adjunct Instructor of Film Studies at Columbia CONTRIBUTOR College Chicago and the College of Lake County. He received his PhD from the School of Journalism, Media, and Culture at Cardiff University. He has published widely on film history, aesthetics, and philosophy, and his research interests in martial arts studies include the genre of martial arts cinema and the sport of MMA. He also serves as an editorial assistant of Martial Arts Studies. BRUCE LEE AND THE PERFECTION OF MARTIAL ARTS (STUDIES): AN EXERCISE IN ALTERDISCIPLINARITY KYLE BARROWMAN DOI ABSTRACT 10.18573/mas.80 This essay builds from an analysis of the philosophical underpinnings of Bruce Lee’s jeet kune do to an analysis of the current state of academic scholarship generally and martial arts studies scholarship specifically. For the sake of a more comprehensive understanding of the philosophical underpinnings of jeet kune do, and in particular its affinities with a philosophical tradition traced by Stanley Cavell under the heading of KEYWORDs perfectionism, this essay brings the philosophical writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Ayn Rand into contact with Lee’s writings Bruce Lee, jeet kune do, Ralph during the time that he spent formulating his martial arts philosophy. Waldo Emerson, Ayn Rand, Stanley Additionally, this essay uses the philosophical insights of Emerson, Cavell, Objectivism, Perfectionism, Rand, and Lee to challenge longstanding academic dogma vis-à-vis Poststructuralism, Alterdisciplinarity poststructuralist philosophy, the methods of academic intervention, and the nature of philosophical argumentation. Though pitched as a debate regarding the content and the status of Bruce Lee and his combative CITATION philosophy, this essay endeavors to inspire scholars to (re)examine their conceptions of Bruce Lee, martial arts, and martial arts studies.
