𝟏𝟗𝟒𝟖: Buenaventura Mirafuente wrote for the very first time that 𝐤𝐚𝐥𝐢 was the pre-colonial name for 𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐬.

From his article 𝘍𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨: 𝘗𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘚𝘵𝘺𝘭𝘦:

“At the beginning of the implantation of the Spanish sovereignty in the Philippines, 𝘬𝘢𝘭𝘪 was prohibited. Those who were caught playing it were considered 𝘵𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘴, 𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘴, etc. Because of the fear of the natives of being persecuted, lodged in jails, banished, or used as beast of burdens in construction works, it was then necessary to find another name for the game. They took advantage of its revival when the missionaries introduced the 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘰-𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘰 play and when it became a common stage play throughout the Christian towns and cities as early as 1637. 𝘒𝘢𝘭𝘪 flourished again, this time as 𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘴”.

But is arnis really a pre-Spanish martial art?
