The truth is that, in the Philippines there are numerous other systems of Filipino martial arts that exist alongsideArnisfor so many years and several of these have already been making names in the international scene. Among these arts are theDumog, theYawyan, and the famousSikaran of Baras, Rizal who had already conducted several international competitions, seminars and clinics outside the Philippines for so many years and theTracmathat had been featured in a movie entitled– the “Red Belt Master” headed by its originator as the lead actor. In other regions, there are other arts that are also known but silently exist, spreading inside and outside the Philippines like theKuntaw, theSagasa, theTapondo, thePangamot, theAlamid Mongooseand the system that we are about to introduce in this site, theJendo Filipino martial arts.
