It measures the extent to which the program enhances students' Arnis skills, identifies the benefits they receive, explores challenges encountered, and investigates the solutions they employ. Using an evaluative research design, the research examines students' perceptions of the program regarding skills and physical and social skills development. Findings indicate that the Eskrima Training Program in Marigondon Elementary School is highly effective in improving students' physical and social skills, having the highest effectiveness rate, and enhancing students' Arnis skills. The training program also encountered problems, which were solved through the resilience of the Eskrimadors, leading to the training program's benefits. The study is highly effective in enhancing students' physical coordination, discipline, and engagement in physical education, proposing recommendations for program enhancement and focusing on skills and physical development.
