Duelo and Filipino Martial Arts

  Duelo and the Filipino Martial Arts          Last night there was a disturbance near us, two drunken men challenged each other and almost engaged with their gulok , thanks to the arrival of the barangay tanod (community security aide) and a town councilor the two were separated. I remembered the two arnisadores who challenged on online social media to duel to finish the matter of their contest, where they agreed to task me as the arbiter in their duel. Fortunately, I and other friends helped to save the two because dueling is strictly prohibited by law in the Philippines, not only the two who challenged will be punished by the law but also the people who intervened and helped in having the duel.   Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duel#/media/File:FrzDuellImBoisDeBoulogneDurand1874.jpg According to Rollo (2022), a duel is a formalized fight between two people in conflict; four main types of duels existed before in Italy, the “ duello cavalleresco ” or “chivalrous duel ”
