kuhun

Kuhun is a traditional Filipino martial art that originated in the Visayas region of the Philippines. It is characterized by its use of bamboo sticks, known as kuditi, as weapons. The art is practiced for both self-defense and as a form of physical exercise. Kuhun is often associated with the Visayan people, particularly those from the provinces of Cebu, Bohol, and Negros.

The practice of kuhun involves a series of strikes, blocks, and evasions, all performed with the kuditi. The sticks are typically about 1.5 meters in length and are held in both hands. The art emphasizes discipline, coordination, and the development of a strong and agile body. Kuhun is not only a martial art but also a cultural expression, reflecting the resilience and adaptability of the Filipino people.

Kuhun is often taught in schools and community centers, making it accessible to a wide range of individuals. It is also gaining popularity in the international martial arts community, with practitioners and instructors sharing techniques and promoting the art's unique aspects. The art's simplicity and effectiveness make it an appealing choice for those seeking a practical and efficient form of self-defense.
