@pinoyblues69 You sound like a kid, are you a kid? you sound immature and seem to be ignorant about your own peoples pre-colonial history.

The Philippine archipelago was not a united archipelago under one sultan, but it is actually made up of different kingdoms under the reign of Sri Visjaya and later Majapahit empires, Philippine archipelago had no defined borders back then, our people practiced Hindu-Buddhism and Animism as religons before the arrival of Islam and later on Christianity.

@pinoyblues69 the stick art (read: escrima/arnis) was born through the blade disband rules of spaniard, so they replace the abscence of blades with sticks, in the mindanao we cant find it because the mindanao people are the only people that was failed to conquered by the spaniard and manage to keep their blades, now you know why they are the bravest people in the rep of the philippines.

@Aldatsky majapahit to mindinao and sir visaya( SORRY I DON'T KNOW HOW THE SPELL THAT) to visayan

[copypacercopypacer]

what is anamist visayan amour made of...besides horn and how much would it cover

[Aldatsky]

It more sounds like a brief story or fiction than history in itself. The story of Majapahit migration to the Visayan islands is apparently based on the Maragtas epic written by Pedro Alcantara in mixed Hiligaynon and Kinaray-a in 1907 and it is in no way history but fiction. There is no close similarity between the Indonesian matial arts of Pentjak Silat from the Kali system. The fighting system is popular in the Visayan islands it is safe to assume that it is indigenous to it than imported.

The people on the Video are not wearing the proper Visayan attire. they should redo it and get it right.

@copypacercopypacer No it did not came from the spaniards, but the word eskrima came from the spiniards. it came from the spanish word esgrima.

@copypacercopypacer it is acctually Visayan. Mindanao was also inhabited by Visayans, then the moros came and colonized Mindanao. then thats when they became muslim, but not the entire mindanao became muslims though. The King of Butuan was related to the King of Cebu back then.
