Tattooing has been a part of Filipino tribal life since pre-Hispanic colonisation of the Philippine Islands, When the Spanish first landed in the Philippine Islands, they were met by the tribal people of the Visayas, who had full body tattooing, the Spanish dubbed these Islands as "La Isla De Los Pintados" or "The Island of the Painted Ones".[1] Tattooing in the Philippines is a tribal form of rank and accomplishments, some tribes believed that tattoos had magical qualities.

Kali martial arts warrior tattoo
Filipino history has seen the practice of Kali help defend against invaders. It has seen its effectiveness in knife and machete fights over disagreements amongst its people. The art has even been disseminated and practiced by a variety of special forces units worldwide.
So whether you're talking about an American or European referring to the Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) styles of stick and sword fighting as Kali, or a resident of the Philippines more comfortable labeling them as Eskrima orEscrima, one thing is for certain.
If you want to know how to use weapons to protect yourself and devastate an opponent, Kali is a very efficient way to go.
