@Grey Alien:
Yep, Arnis/Eskrima/Kali is all basically the same thing. Very different to all the other martial arts I've studied. They teach weapons from day one, sticks mostly but also knives and other Filipino weapons. Unarmed training starts when you have learned the weapons.
I did some Aikido when I was learning Ju Jitsu. Also a bit of Tai Chi and Iaido over the years :)
