I watched an arnis tournament at Gaisano Grandmall, Students mostly in their highschool were playing the sport type of arnis, it is organized by Arnis Philippines and the group Magkuno Diamond Back Eskrima. I had a great talk with the Supreme Grand Master of Magkuno Diamond Back Eskrima, Ernesto "Erning" Berdin, his background in eskrima was Doce Pares the late Larry Alquizar and the late Momoy Canete were his mentors who taught him about eskrima. He also told me that the sport of Arnis is like a "Dawat-dawat you hit and you'll be hit, it is a sport but in real life you shouldn't be hit by the opponent at all, when an opponent strike you hit him back with 4-5 strikes" . I shook his hand as I went home and thank him for still being passionate with eskrima and teaching it to the next generation. I took some pictures of the tournament. pls. check them out...
