These are the combat practices that have likely existed since antiquity and not born during colonization, but doubts should be raised about ''sikaran'' because of insufficient dedicated research on the subject.

*[[Sikaran]]: Kicking techniques, also a kick-based separate art practiced in Rizal province. Though marketed as "traditional" or whose origins are traceable back to the pre-Spanish period, there are hardly any reports from the Spanish describing this method of fighting (apart from giving direct translations for the word "kick"). If it did exist back in the pre-Hispanic period, then it is only fitting that it could be a descendant of a pre-historic [[Kickboxing#History|foot-fighting]] born out of human aggression.
*[[Dumog]]: Filipino style of grappling or just [[folk wrestling]]. Traditionally practiced in [[Antique (province)|Antique]] in [[Panay]], and a recreational activity in their festivals.<ref>{{Cite web |title=TUBIGANAY: CONFLICT RESOLUTION AMONGST INDIGENOUS CULTURAL COMMUNITIES IN CENTRAL PANAY MOUNTAINS {{!}} CLGIPS |url=https://clgips.cpu.edu.ph/tubiganay-conflict-resolution-amongst-indigenous-cultural-communities-in-central-panay-mountains/ |access-date=2024-05-21 |website=clgips.cpu.edu.ph |quote=Dumog or wrestling is a popular sport in the mountains.

If there were just one word in our vocabulary that described the majority of our daily activities, physical or psychological it would have to be the word, “wrestle.” We wrestle to get out of our clothes at night to get into bed. We wrestle to get out of bed in the morning. We wrestle with the thoughts and decisions we make each day. We wrestle with our dreams, with our past and with our future.
