Kuntao or kuntau (wiktionary:拳, 拳wiktionary:道, 道, Pe̍h-ōe-jī: kûn-thâu, Tagalog language, Tagalog: kuntaw) is a Min Nan, Hokkien term for the martial arts of the Chinese community of Southeast Asia, specifically the Malay Archipelago. It is most commonly practiced in and associated with Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore. Etymology There are no standard hanzi for kuntao, but the most common reading is "way of the fist", from ''kun'' 拳 meaning fist and ''tao'' 道 meaning way. Less common readings may use the character ''kun'' 棍 meaning staff, or ''tou'' 头 meaning head, so that it could be translated as "way of the staff" or roughly "knowledge of fists". In Fujian and other southern areas, this term was originally used for Chinese martial arts in general and was synonymous with ''quanfa'' (拳法, Pe̍h-ōe-jī: kûn-hoat). The word is recorded in Classical Malay and Indonesian language, Indonesian, making it the oldest known term for Chinese mar ...

Arnis
Arnis, also known as Kali or Eskrima/Escrima, is the national martial art of the Philippines. The three are roughly interchangeable umbrella terms for the traditional martial arts of the Philippines (" Filipino Martial Arts", or FMA), which emphasize weapon-based fighting with sticks, knives, bladed weapons, and various improvised weapons, as well as "open hand" techniques without weapons. There have been campaigns for arnis to be nominated in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists, along with other Philippine martial arts. As of 2018, UNESCO has inscribed nine martial-arts–related intangible heritages. Name Arnis comes from ''arnés'', the Old Spanish for "armour" (''harness'' is an archaic English term from same root). It is said to derive from the armour costumes used in traditional '' Moro-moro'' stage plays, where actors fought mock battles with wooden swords. ''Arnes'' is also an archaic Spanish term for weapon, used as early as 1712. Eskrima (also spelled E ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
