4. Taekwondo
Taekwondo was developed by major general Choi
Hong Hi in Korea during the 1940s as partial
combination of Taekkyeon and
Okinawan Karate.[2]There are two main branches
of taekwondo development, although they are
not mutually exclusive. Traditional
taekwondo typically refers to the martial art as it
was established in the 1950s and 1960s in
the South Korean military, and in various civilian
organisations, including schools
6. Arnis
Modern Arnis is the system of Filipino martial
arts founded by the late Remy Presas as a self-defense
system. His goal was to create an injury-free training
method as well as an effective self-defense system in
order to preserve the older Arnis systems. The
term Modern Arnis was used by Remy Presas' younger
brother Ernesto Presas to describe his style of
Filipino martial arts; since 1999 Ernesto Presas has
called his system Kombatan. It is derived principally
from the traditional Presas family style of
the Bolo (machete) and the stick-dueling art
of Balintawak Eskrima, with influences from other
Filipino and Japanese martial arts.[1]
8. Sikaran
Sikaran is a distinct Filipino Martial Art that
involves hand and foot fighting. As Sikaran is a
general term for kicking which is also used as
the name of the kicking aspects of other
Filipino Martial arts, this article discusses the
distinct art which is specifically practiced in
the Rizal province that focuses almost
exclusively in kicking.
