Who is the firts discover of arnis?

Arnis, also known as Eskrima or Kali, is a Filipino martial art that emphasizes weapon-based fighting, particularly with sticks and blades. Its origins are difficult to pinpoint to a single "first discoverer," as it evolved over centuries through the influences of various indigenous cultures, Spanish colonization, and regional practices in the Philippines. The art has been passed down through generations, with many practitioners and masters contributing to its development. Therefore, it is more accurate to view arnis as a collective cultural heritage rather than the invention of one individual.
