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).

Mastering Eskrima Disarms TESTIMONIALS “Martial arts grandmaster, doctor of Oriental medicine, author and publisher, Mark Wiley is in a class of his own.” — Jose M. Fraguas Publisher, Masters Magazine “Being an avid practitioner and senior instructor of the Filipino martial arts I, have as you would expect, tried to get access to as much historical and reference material as possible on the subject. Mark Wiley has over the years been one of my staple references with numerous publications. I have found his works to be insightful, educational and an invaluable source of accurate information. Mark Wiley is the best writer of our time on the Filipino martial arts and I highly recommend that anyone who is serious about FMA read his works and keep them on hand as valuable reference points. I am sure this latest work by Master Wiley will be as invaluable as his previous works for the serious practitioners and historians alike.” — Tuhon Pat O’Malley Spokesperson, British Council of Kali Eskrima Arnis Instructor “An ancient art that is surviving in modern times is shown new light by Master Mark Wi- ley. His books show a new way to perpetuate this unique martial art and make it known to the world.

Film Culture Crossover
1 Film Culture Crossover: Film Fight Choreography and the East/West Binary After Bruce Lee Paul Bowman Keywords: Batman Begins, Bruce Lee, Rey Chow, Cultural Translation, Hollywood, Jeff Imada, Dan Inosanto, Jeet Kune Do (JKD), Keysi Fighting Method (KFM), Martial Arts Choreography, Oriental Style, Jane Park, Jacques Rancière. Abstract: This paper reads the emergence of ‘Oriental style’ in Hollywood (Park 2010) as an exemplary case of what Rey Chow calls ‘cultural translation (Chow 1995). The paper explores some of the intimate yet paradoxical relationship between ‘Oriental’ martial arts and the drive for ‘authenticity’ in both film choreography and martial arts practices; plotting the trajectories of some key martial arts crossovers since Bruce Lee. It argues that, post-Bruce Lee, Western film fight choreography first moved into and then moved away from overtly Chinese, Japanese, Hong Kong or indeed obviously ‘Oriental style’; a move that many have regarded as a deracination or westernisation of fight choreography. However, a closer look reveals that this apparent deracination is actually the unacknowledged rise of Filipino martial arts within Hollywood. The significance of making this point, and the point of making this kind argument overall boils down to the insight it can give us into how ‘cultures’ and texts are constructed, and also into our own reading practices and the roles they play, sometimes in perpetuating certain problematic ethno-nationalist discourses. Bio: Paul Bowman (Cardiff University) is author of Theorizing Bruce Lee (2010), Deconstructing Popular Culture (2008), Post-Marxism versus Cultural Studies (2007), Culture and the Media (2012, forthcoming) and Beyond Bruce Lee (forthcoming 2013).

In 1971 he made his first martial arts film, Tang Shan Daxiong, in which he played a Chinese immigrant to Thai- land who discovers that his boss is a drug-smuggling kingpin. The following year, he starred in Jing Wu Men as a martial artist who defends Chinese pride against Japanese imperialists in the International Settlement of early twentieth- century Shanghai. Because of the overwhelming popularity of both films in Hong Kong and throughout Asia, National General Pictures selected them for distribution in the United States in 1973. Tang Shan Daxiong was supposed to be released as The Chinese Connection to associate it with The French Con- nection, a mainstream hit about heroin trafficking; the title ofJing Wu Men was translated as Fist of Fury.

Bruce Lee and Post-DVD Textuality
JOMEC Journal Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies Enter the 2-Disc Platinum Edition: Bruce Lee and Post-DVD Textuality Leon Hunt Brunel University Email: [email protected] Keywords Bruce Lee DVD textuality DVD extras The Big Boss Game of Death Abstract Bruce Lee’s films have moved across not only cultural boundaries, but also different media platforms – film, television, video and an assortment of digital media. DVD and Blu- ray don’t just facilitate ownership of optimum and definitive versions of texts, but also re- define textuality through their secondary materials. As Barbara Klinger argues, ‘DVD acts as an ambassador of context, entering the home complete with its own armada of discourses meant to influence reception, including behind-the-scenes industry information and commentary tracks’. In the case of a culturally contested figure like Bruce Lee, such an armada of discourses might be particularly worthy of study. Moreover, DVD introduces new criteria for determining what makes a ‘perfect DVD movie’, by making use of the audio-visual ‘perfection’ facilitated by the medium or presenting particularly impressive arrays of extras. Bruce Lee is perhaps not an obvious candidate for post-DVD study, compared to such formats as the TV boxed set or multi-disc extended cut of a Hollywood blockbuster. These comparatively low budget films don’t lend themselves to the audio-visual perfection expected of a high-end blockbuster movie. Moreover, most DVD versions of his films (including releases in HK and the US) have been light on extra features. Nevertheless certain releases of Lee films do raise interesting questions in the light of post-DVD debates.

My Time and Experience in Martial Arts by Lynda Niemczak Hatch
My Time and Experience in Martial Arts By Lynda Niemczak Hatch Hello, I’d like to introduce myself… I was born with a profound hearing loss but it was not discovered till age 6 months when my parents took me to a pediatrician. I’m the only one in my family that has this invisible physical disability. But my loving parents had trained me well, and they also made sure I received my education starting from two and a half years old in special education for hearing-impaired, and onto elementary through high school, and then through four years of college with a Bachelor’s Science degree in Computer Sciences. After graduation from high school at age 17, I started in karate during my first semester at a local junior college, Henry Ford Community College, in Dearborn, MI, where I met my future husband Dave Hatch in September of 1969. It was held after classes on a weekly basis. At that time, Dave was an assistant instructor in the art of Japanese Shito-ryu. From that point on, I continued for the next two years there, plus I enrolled in the karate club called Karate/ Judo Schools of America a year later where Dave was a student. My big thanks were to my mom and dad for trusting me to forge ahead in this art as they had invested quite a bit of their hard-earned money for me. God bless their souls. After that, I attended Detroit College of Business for another two and a half years. Fast forward to April 1977… I attained my black belt about two years after my college graduation with a bachelor’s degree (1973), and my marriage (1974).

History of Babao Arnis
History of Babao Arnis In November 1963, 18 year-old Narciso “Narrie” Requina Babao reluctantly started his Arnis de Mano training under his father, the late Turing Babao. The style he learned was the Baston Batangas system, which his father learned from Master Ka Juan, a Katipunan rebel under General Miguel Malvar, during the Filipino- American war. Turing Babao was suffering from hypertension, and his doctor advised him to workout daily, to alleviate the problem. Narrie had other interests then. Foremost was bodybuilding and weightlifting. He was selected as the 1964 Jr. Mr. Philippines, during a contest sponsored by PWABBA (Philippine Weightlifting and Bodybuilding Association). For two years, the father and son trained hard in Arnis. Twirling the rattan sticks was the only warm-up exercise. Their training consisted mainly of free-style sparring. Only after getting hit, would Narrie learn the lesson for the day. His father would then methodically explain why Narrie got hit in that particular area. Narrie described the training as the school of hard knocks, and he resented being on the receiving end. His father was precise in controlling his strikes to the head and body, but accidental hits to the knuckles were unavoidable. With his knuckles busted many times over, Narrie finally found a good excuse for getting away from Arnis training. He enrolled in a karate school. His Shotokan karate instructor was Romeo Plantado, a former police officer who became a fugitive, and eventually a commander of the New People's Army, the communist rebels in the Philippines. However, it was Master Jimmy Galez of Manila, who awarded Narrie his first black belt.
