The sport Arnis was declared as the “Philippine National Martial Arts” site two reasons

why Arnis was not popular or well known like Basketball, Volleyball, and E-sports among
children. Expound each reason into 2-3 sentences.

1. Arnis is not well-known among children because they seem like a less attractive sport,
and most children prefer sports that are popular and enjoyable. The idea of using sticks
seems relatively boring and unexciting for them as most children have a penchant for
team sports and adrenaline-rush activities. Children prefer sports like basketball
because it’s very similar to the age-old playground games and volleyball since the
sport’s fast pace allows it to hold the attention of children who would frequently get bored
playing other sports.

2. Arnis is not popular among children because it is outdated and lacks visibility. Many
children do not know about this Filipino Martial Art because it is out-marketed by sports
like basketball and volleyball. Furthermore, Arnis has poor promotion as it is often
overshadowed by well-known sports and does not receive proper attention despite it
being a national martial art of the Philippines.
