Building Resilience Through Arnis: Examining the Impact on Student Adaptability and Strength
Journal Title: Peninsulares International Journal of Innovations and Sustainability - Year 2024, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
This study examines the effects of Arnis, a traditional Filipino martial art, on student resilience—an important trait that enables individuals to adapt to and recover from adversity, particularly within the demanding context of academic life. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews to gain a multifaceted understanding of how engagement in Arnis may promote resilience. Specifically, the study assesses resilience across physical, emotional, and social dimensions, recognizing that resilience encompasses more than mere endurance; it involves an individual’s capacity to manage stress, build self-worth, and develop meaningful connections. Quantitative surveys measured students' resilience, coping strategies, and self-esteem, while semi-structured interviews offered insights into the participants' personal experiences with playing Arnis. The findings suggest that students who participate in playing Arnis demonstrate stronger coping mechanisms, improved self-esteem, and a heightened sense of community. These factors collectively contribute to an enhanced ability to navigate life’s challenges. Notably, the study found that the physical discipline and structure provided by playing Arnis, combined with the emotional and social support within the training environment, play a substantial role in reinforcing these resilience-building qualities. The implications of these results stress the potential benefits of integrating martial arts, such as Arnis, into school curricula to support student resilience. By promoting physical strength, emotional stability, and social cohesion, playing Arnis could serve as a valuable tool in developing well-rounded, resilient individuals. This integration could provide students with practical skills for managing stress, developing self-confidence, and building supportive peer networks, which are essential for both academic success and personal growth.
