Mandirigma

The attributes of the mandirigma and the babaylan were evident in the lives of many traditional masters of the Filipino martial arts (FMA). Like the pre-Hispanic mandirigma, a traditional arnisador believes supernatural components should augment his physical skills hence the acquisition of an oracion (magical prayer) or an anting-anting (an object of magical powers) was an integral part of the old practice of arnis.
