I'm not familiar with sungkaw, and honestly, it's the first time I heard of it. I'm also learning arnis (though I'm in a hiatus now because I don't want to impede them in their serious training for the upcoming meet). I'm still a beginner tho, and I'm glad that I learned that arnis have another weapon aside from the kamagong and rattan stick that I knew. The 12 striking and blocking techniques were really familiar with me because I was scolded because I often forgot some of them during our training (lol). Learning arnis was really fun, and I'm glad I also discovered that someone in Hive is also into it.

By the way, I just want to clarify this part (?).

Bruce Lee used stick fighting

I think it isn't stick that he used in that movie, I think it's called tsako or nunchako (please correct me if I'm wrong). Anyway, nice blog! It was really informative!
