===''Mano Mano''=== {{Main|Suntukan}} ''[[Mano Mano]]'' is the empty-hand component of [[Filipino martial arts]], particularly Arnis. The term translates as "hands" or "hand-[to]-hand" and comes from the Spanish ''mano'' ("hand"). It is also known as ''[[suntukan]]'' or ''panununtukan'' in [[Luzon]] and ''pangamot'' in the [[Visayas]], as well as ''De Cadena'', ''Cadena de Mano'' or ''Arnis de Mano'' in some FMA systems. American colonists referred to it as "combat judo" or "Filipino boxing". ''Mano mano'' moves include [[Sikaran|kicking]], [[Suntukan|punching]], locking, throwing, and ''[[dumog]]'' (grappling). Filipino martial artists regard empty hands as another weapon, and all movements of ''Mano Mano'' are directly based on weapon techniques. In Arnis, weapons are seen as extensions of the body, so training with weapons naturally leads to proficiency in bare-handed combat. For this reason, ''Mano Mano'' is often taught in higher grades after weapons training has been mastered, as advanced students are expected to be able to apply experience with weapons to unarmed fighting. This not always the case though, as some systems of Arnis start with (and at times only consist of) empty hands fighting{{Citation needed|date=May 2024}}. Some notable masters of ''Mano Mano'' include: * [[Cacoy Canete]] * [[Richard Bustillo]] * [[Antonio Illustrisimo]] * [[Balintawak Eskrima|Venancio "Anciong" Bacon]] * [[Rey Galang]] * [[Edgar Sulite]] * [[Danny Guba]] * [[Francisco Guilledo]] * [[Ceferino Garcia]] * [[Gabriel Elorde]]
