MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Jendo Association (PJA) has put in motion its application for associate member with the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC).

According to its website, jendo “is a fast rising traditional style of martial arts” utilizing barehands and feet and the traditional Filipino stick and bladed weapons associated with arnis, pang-or, bangkaw, itak, bolo and punyal as a means to defend oneself.

POC secretary-general Patrick Gregorio has advised the PJA to complete the requirements needed for the membership committee to review its application.
