Le Kali Arnis Eskrima (parfois abrégé en KAE) est un groupe d'arts martiaux faisant partie de la branche du silat originaire des îles Philippines dit silat FMA pour "filipino martial arts". Bien qu'il ait une composante mains nues, l'entrainement est axé principalement sur le travail des armes (bâtons, couteaux et lames de tailles intermédiaires mais également parfois suivant les écoles bâtons longs, lances, fouets, sarongs, haches, armes de jets…).
